Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...
Abstract. The topology creation is one of the most important step for the design of an overlay network. Traffic characteristic and volume, and behavior of nodes which can be sel...
A non–linear dynamic system is called contracting if initial conditions are forgotten exponentially fast, so that all trajectories converge to a single trajectory. We use contra...
