A maximal independent set on a graph is an inclusion-maximal set of mutually non-adjacent nodes. This basic symmetry breaking structure is vital for many distributed algorithms, w...
A sufficient condition for the convexity of a finite product of positive definite quadratic forms is given in terms of the condition numbers of the underlying matrices. When only...
