Generating a distributed key, where a constant fraction of the players can reconstruct the key, is an essential component of many largescale distributed computing tasks such as ful...
We present different techniques for reducing the number of states and transitions in nondeterministic automata. These techniques are based on the two preorders over the set of st...
The 2-class transduction problem, as formulated by Vapnik [1], involves finding a separating hyperplane for a labelled data set that is also maximally distant from a given set of...
Anonymous channels or similar techniques that can achieve sender's anonymity play important roles in many applications. However, they will be meaningless if cryptographic prim...
In free-floating mode, space manipulator systems have their actuators turned off, and exhibit nonholonomic behavior due to angular momentum conservation. The system is underactua...
