Constrained curve fitting on manifolds
When designing curves on surfaces the need arises to approximate a given noisy target shape by a smooth fitting shape. We discuss the problem of fitting a B-spline curve to a poin...

On tandem blocking queues with a common retrial queue
We consider systems of tandem blocking queues having a common retrial queue. The model represents dynamics of short TCP transfers in the Internet. Analytical results are available...

Mean field for Markov Decision Processes: from Discrete to Continuous Optimization
We study the convergence of Markov Decision Processes made of a large number of objects to optimization problems on ordinary differential equations (ODE). We show that the optimal...

Mixing and non-mixing local minima of the entropy contrast for blind source separation
In this paper, both non-mixing and mixing local minima of the entropy are analyzed from the viewpoint of blind source separation (BSS); they correspond respectively to acceptable a...
