We address covariance estimation under mean-squared loss in the Gaussian setting. Specifically, we consider shrinkage methods which are suitable for high dimensional problems wit...
Abstract— Although direct reciprocity (Tit-for-Tat) contribution systems have been successful in reducing freeloading in peerto-peer overlays, it has been shown that, unless the ...

The objectives of this paper are to describe a steady-state version of the Age-Layered Population Structure (ALPS) Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) and to compare it against other GAs ...
—Robustness of optimization models for networking problems has been an under-explored area. Yet most existing algorithms for solving robust optimization problems are centralized,...

In this paper a novel clustering algorithm is proposed, namely Variational Multilevel Mesh Clustering (VMLC). The algorithm incorporates the advantages of both hierarchical and va...
