The use of random fields, which allows one to take into account the spatial interaction among random variables in complex systems, is a frequent tool in numerous problems of stati...

We consider the average cost problem for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDP) with finite state, observation, and control spaces. We prove that there exists an -...
Sensor networks are often used to perform monitoring tasks, such as animal and vehicle tracking, or the surveillance of enemy forces in military applications. In this paper we int...
—In this paper, recent results in game theory and stochastic approximation are brought together to mitigate the problem of femto-to-macrocell cross-tier interference. The main re...
