Abstract. We present a new “lifting” approach for the solution of nonlinear optimization problems (NLPs) that have objective and constraint functions with intermediate variable...
—Cooperative spectrum sensing has been shown to be able to greatly improve the sensing performance in cognitive radio networks. However, if cognitive users belong to different se...
This paper studies the problem of realizing a common software clock among a large set of nodes without an external time reference (i.e., internal clock synchronization), any centr...
We introduce a novel multi-agent patrolling strategy. By assumption, the swarm of agents performing the task consists of very low capability ant-like agents. The agents have littl...
Belief propagation is widely used in inference of graphical models. It yields exact solutions when the underlying graph is singly connected. When the graph contains loops, double-c...
