Randomized Quicksort and the Entropy of the Random Source
Abstract. The worst-case complexity of an implementation of Quicksort depends on the random number generator that is used to select the pivot elements. In this paper we estimate th...

Identifying lossy links in wired/wireless networks by exploiting sparse characteristics
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating link loss rates based on end-to-end path loss rates in order to identify lossy links on the network. We first derive a maximu...
