Abstract. We study the decision theory of a maximally risk-averse investor — one whose objective, in the face of stochastic uncertainties, is to minimize the probability of ever ...

— Ergodic stochastic optimization (ESO) algorithms are proposed to solve resource allocation problems that involve a random state and where optimality criteria are expressed in t...
In this paper we consider a cooperative network that is trying to reach binary consensus over fading channels. We first characterize the impact of fading on network consensus by up...
Abstract In this article, we describe some recent results on the hybridization methods for the analysis of nonlinear systems. The main idea of our hybridization approach is to appl...
We consider the problem of estimating the support of a vector Rp based on observations contaminated by noise. A significant body of work has studied behavior of 1-relaxations when...
