Structurally distinct constellation labelings exist within both the Gray code and the set-partitioning paradigm. Different labeling choices within either paradigm can provide diffe...
In this paper we identify a class of Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes where the transitions to higher (resp. lower) levels are restricted to occur only from (resp. to) a subs...
Multistage residual vector quantizers (RVQ) with optimal direct sum decoder codebooks have been successfully designed and implemented for data compression. Due to its multistage s...
Planning under uncertainty is an important and challenging problem in multiagent systems. Multiagent Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (MPOMDPs) provide a powerful fr...
