In this paper we consider the complexity of several problems involving finite algebraic structures. Given finite algebras A and B, these problems ask the following. (1) Do A and B ...
For any Boolean functionf letL(f) be its formulasizecomplexityin the basis f^ 1g. For every n and every k n=2, we describe a probabilistic distribution on formulas in the basis f^...
An exact parameterization for the boundary of the Minkowski product of N circular disks in the complex plane is derived. When N > 2, this boundary curve may be regarded as a gen...
ABSTRACT. This paper presents a novel, scenario-based notation called Use Case Maps (UCMs) for describing, in a high-level way, how the organizational structure of a complex system...
Recent works showed how low-density parity-check (LDPC) erasure correcting codes, under maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, are capable of tightly approaching the performance of an i...
