We have proposed a three-parameter renewal approximation to analyze splitting and superposition of autocorrelated processes. We define the index of dispersion for counts of an ord...
Abstract— A novel, simple and efficient method for the generation of Tikhonov (a.k.a. von Mises) random variates is proposed. In the proposed method, circular variates of a pres...
Recent work on distributed, in-network aggregation assumes a benign population of participants. Unfortunately, modern distributed systems are plagued by malicious participants. In...

Spin systems are a general way to describe local interactions between nodes in a graph. In statistical mechanics, spin systems are often used as a model for physical systems. In c...
Since the publication of the original Marching Cubes algorithm, numerous variations have been proposed for guaranteeing water-tight constructions of triangulated approximations of...
