Several distributed routing algorithms for wireless networks were described recently, based on location information of nodes available via Global Positioning System (GPS). In gree...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
This paper is a July 1999 snapshot of a "whitepaper" that I've been working on. The purpose of the whitepaper, which I initially drafted in April 1999, was to formu...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
Free-discontinuity problems describe situations where the solution of interest is defined by a function and a lower dimensional set consisting of the discontinuities of the funct...
