We consider sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems. It is generally believed that SQP methods are sensitive to the a...
In this paper, collocated and distributed space-time block codes (DSTBCs) which admit multigroup maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding are studied. First, the collocated case is conside...
We study the problem of navigating through a database of similar objects using comparisons. This problem is known to be strongly related to the small-world network design problem....
Abstract. Security protocols aim at securing communications over public networks. Their design is notoriously difficult and error-prone. Formal methods have shown their usefulness ...
Research on security in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is dominated by reputation-based solutions. These solutions propagate opinions about other peers in order to help identify the b...
