Abstract—Many next-generation Internet architectures propose advanced packet processing functions in the data path of the network. Such “services” are typically performed on ...
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...
We show that any k-wise independent probability distribution on {0, 1}n O(m2.22− √ k/10)fools any boolean function computable by an m-clause DNF (or CNF) formula on n variable...
With a graph G = (V, E) we associate a collection of non-negative real weights vV {i,v : 1 i m} uvE{ij,uv : 1 i j m}. We consider the probability distribution on {f : V {1,...
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
