Abstract--We adapt methods originally developed in information and coding theory to solve some testing problems. The efficiency of two-stage pool testing of items is characterized ...
We consider the estimation of the order, i.e., the number of hidden states, of a special class of discrete-time finite-alphabet hidden Markov sources. This class can be characteriz...
Abstract--We present the STack ARchitecture (STAR) automaton. It is a fixed structure, multiaction, reward-penalty learning automaton, characterized by a star-shaped state transiti...
Until recently, the theory of noncoherent communications was premised on the use of orthogonal multi-pulse modulation such as frequency shift keying. The main drawback of this modu...
—THIS PAPER IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE STUDENT PAPER AWARD. It is known that the capacity of parallel (e.g., multi-carrier) Gaussian point-to-point, multiple access and broadcast channe...
