Mobile robot networks emerged in the past few years as a promising distributed computing model. Existing work in the literature typically ensures the correctness of mobile robot protocols via ad hoc handwritten proofs, which are both cumbersome and error-prone. This paper surveys state-of-the-art results about applying formal methods approaches (namely, model-checking, program synthesis, and pr...

Leonard Colebrook (1883?1967)

Leonard Colebrook was a physician who researched bacteria and infections in England during the twentieth century. In 1936, Colebrook deployed the antibiotic Prontosil to treat puerperal fever, a disorder that results from bacterial infections in the uterine tracts of women after childbirth or abortions.

General Bahr-Esseen inequalities and their applications

We study the Bahr-Esseen inequality. We show that the Bahr-Esseen inequality holds with exponent p if it holds with exponent [Formula: see text] for the truncated and centered random variables. The Bahr-Esseen inequality is also true if the truncated random variables are acceptable. We then apply the results to obtain weak and strong laws of large numbers and complete convergence.
