When controlling dynamic systems, such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster b...
We consider the problem of on-line call admission and routing on trees and meshes. Previous work gave randomized on-line algorithms for these problems and proved that they have opt...

The outage probability limit is a fundamental and achievable lower bound on the word error rate of coded communication systems affected by fading. This limit is mainly determined ...

We analyse the probability 1 − δ to be in an optimum solution after k steps of an inhomogeneous Markov chain which is specified by a logarithmic cooling schedule c(k) = Γ/ ln ...
Recent research has made significant progress on the problem of bounding log partition functions for exponential family graphical models. Such bounds have associated dual paramete...
