Approximation and limiting behavior of random models
In this paper, we investigate limiting behavior of linear dynamic systems driven by random stochastic matrices. We introduce and study the new concepts of partial ergodicity and 1-...

Fairness issues in a chain of IEEE 802.11 stations
: We study a simple general scenario of ad hoc networks based on IEEE 802.11 wireless communications, consisting in a chain of transmitters, each of them being in the carrier sense...

Gesundheit! Modeling Contagion through Facebook News Feed
Whether they are modeling bookmarking behavior in Flickr or cascades of failure in large networks, models of diffusion often start with the assumption that a few nodes start long ...

On-line Chain Partitioning of Up-growing Interval Orders
On-line chain partitioning problem of on-line posets has been open for the past 20 years. The best known on-line algorithm uses 5w −1 4 chains to cover poset of width w. Felsner ...

Lower Bounds for Lucas Chains
Lucas chains are a special type of addition chains satisfying an extra condition: for the representation ak = aj + ai of each element ak in the chain, the difference aj - ai must a...

The Description of Homogeneous Branched-Chain Explosions with Slow Radical Recombination by Self-Adjusting Time Scales
A nonlinear multiscale technique is used to describe the time history of a spatially homogeneous chain-branching/chain-breaking explosion when chain branching is much faster than c...

On Markov Chains for Independent Sets
Random independent sets in graphs arise, for example, in statistical physics, in the hard-core model of a gas. In 1997, Luby and Vigoda described a rapidly mixing Markov chain for...

Preprocessing Chains for Fast Dihedral Rotations Is Hard or Even Impossible
We examine a computational geometric problem concerning the structure of polymers. We model a polymer as a polygonal chain in three dimensions. Each edge splits the polymer into t...

On the revision of preferences and rational inference processes
Orderings and inference relations can be successfully used to model the behavior of a rational agent. This behavior is indeed represented either by a set of ordered pairs that ref...

Skipping, Cascade, and Combined Chain Schemes for Broadcast Encryption
We develop a couple of new methods to reduce transmission overheads in broadcast encryption. The methods are based on the idea of assigning one key per each partition using one-way...
