Exploiting spectral properties of symmetric banded Toeplitz matrices, we describe simple sufficient conditions for positivity of a trigonometric polynomial formulated as linear ma...
We consider the problem of globally minimizing the sum of many rational functions over a given compact semialgebraic set. The number of terms can be large (10 to 100), the degree ...
Abstract. Congestion games model several interesting applications, including routing and network formation games, and also possess attractive theoretical properties, including the ...
—Heterogeneous wireless networks employ varying degrees of network coverage using power control in a multi-tier configuration, where low-power femtocells are used to enhance per...
We address the problem of computing approximate marginals in Gaussian probabilistic models by using mean field and fractional Bethe approximations. We define the Gaussian fracti...
