This paper studies the equilibrium property and algorithmic complexity of the exchange market equilibrium problem with concave piece-wise linear functions, which include linear an...
We consider distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) in wireless ad-hoc networks, where many links contend for the same channel using random access. In such networks, distribute...
