The simulation of various natural phenomena is one of the important research fields in computer graphics. In particular, aspects such as sky, clouds, water, fire, trees, smoke, te...
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
CMOS Phase-locked loops (PLL) are ubiquitous in RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits. PLLs are very sensitive to noise fluctuations on the power and ground rails. In this paper...
— We consider a stochastic model of an ECN/RED gateway with competing TCP sources sharing the capacity. As the number of competing flows becomes large, the queue behavior at the...
The cross-entropy method (CE) developed by R. Rubinstein is an elegant practical principle for simulating rare events. The method approximates the probability of the rare event by...
