The Theory of Stabilisation Monoids and Regular Cost Functions
Abstract. We introduce the notion of regular cost functions: a quantitative extension to the standard theory of regular languages. We provide equivalent characterisations of this n...

Fast Mode Decision for H.264 Based on Rate-Distortion Cost Estimation
A fast mode decision algorithm for an H.264 encoder is proposed which reduces computation by using a statistical dependency of macroblock rate-distortion (RD) costs. The algorithm...

Reducing the Cost of Generating APH-Distributed Random Numbers
Phase-type (PH) distributions are proven to be very powerful tools in modelling and analysis of a wide range of phenomena in computer systems. The use of these distributions in sim...
