In this paper we consider the problem of computing the expected hitting time to a vertex for random walks on graphs. We give a method for computing an upper bound on the expected ...
Let K be a polytope in Rn defined by m linear inequalities. We give a new Markov Chain algorithm to draw a nearly uniform sample from K. The underlying Markov Chain is the first t...
In this paper we study the behavior of a continuous time random walk (CTRW) on a stationary and ergodic time varying dynamic graph. We establish conditions under which the CTRW is...

Abstract. We propose a novel restoration method for defects and missing regions in video sequences, particularly in application to archive film restoration. Our statistical framew...
In 1873 Francis Galton had constructed a simple mechanical device where a ball is dropped vertically through a harrow of pins that deflect the ball sideways as it falls. Galton c...
