Understanding and modeling the internet topology: economics and evolution perspective
Abstract—In this paper, we seek to understand the intrinsic reasons for the well-known phenomenon of heavy-tailed degree in the Internet AS graph and argue that in contrast to tr...

Implicit Renewal Theory and Power Tails on Trees
: We extend Goldie's (1991) Implicit Renewal Theorem to enable the analysis of recursions on weighted branching trees. We illustrate the developed method by deriving the power...

On entropy for mixtures of discrete and continuous variables
Let X be a discrete random variable with support S and f : S S be a bijection. Then it is wellknown that the entropy of X is the same as the entropy of f(X). This entropy preserva...

Efficient Algorithms for Approximating Polygonal Chains
We consider the problem of approximating a polygonal chain C by another polygonal chain C whose vertices are constrained to be a subset of the set of vertices of C. The goal is to ...
