We consider a game-theoretical variant of the Steiner forest problem in which each player j, out of a set of k players, strives to connect his terminal pair (sj, tj) of vertices in...
We provide an analytical comparison between discounted and average reward temporal-difference (TD) learning with linearly parameterized approximations. We first consider the asympt...
—Authentication using a path of trusted intermediaries, each able to authenticate the next in the path, is a well-known technique for authenticating channels in a large distribut...
Given a lattice L with the i-th successive minimum λi, its i-th gap λi λ1 often provides useful information for analyzing the security of cryptographic schemes related to L. The...
Recent work (Yedidia, Freeman, Weiss [22]) has shown that stable points of belief propagation (BP) algorithms [12] for graphs with loops correspond to extrema of the Bethe free ene...
