Abstract. Utility functions of several variables are ubiquitous in economics. Their maximization requires inversion of the gradient map. Using convex analysis tools, we provide a r...
Determining whether a textual phrase denotes a functional relation (i.e., a relation that maps each domain element to a unique range element) is useful for numerous NLP tasks such...
Abstract— TCP/IP can be interpreted as a distributed primaldual algorithm to maximize aggregate utility over source rates. It has recently been shown that an equilibrium of TCP/I...
Several solutions have been proposed to exploit the availability of heterogeneous sources of biomolecular data for gene function prediction, but few attention has been dedicated t...
Monitoring data streams in a distributed system is the focus of much research in recent years. Most of the proposed schemes, however, deal with monitoring simple aggregated values...
