— This paper reverse-engineers backoff-based random-access MAC protocols in ad-hoc networks. We show that the contention resolution algorithm in such protocols is implicitly part...

We present a new preconditioner for the iterative solution of linear systems of equations arising from discretizations of systems of first order partial differential equations (P...
In this paper, we extend the adjoint error correction of Pierce and Giles [SIAM Review, 42 (2000), pp. 247-264] for obtaining superconvergent approximations of functionals to Gale...
For subdivision surfaces, it is important to characterize local shape near flat spots and points where the surface is not twice continuously differentiable. Applying general princ...
Abstract. Ordinal Optimization has emerged as an efficient technique for simulation and optimization. Exponential convergence rates can be achieved in many cases. In this paper, we...
