In [1] nested codes are defined and some fundamental properties are introduced. We review the usage of nested codes in wyner’s noiseless binning scheme,noisy side information problems and dirty paper problems. Some related topic such as multiterminal coding of correlated sources and coordinated encoding over mutually interfering channels are also touched. I. NESTED CODES: PRELIMINARIES Nested c...

Systems (DEMS) is proposed. This MLP algorithm uses a gradient metric based on hardware-software cost and performance as the core metric for selection of optimal partitions and consists of three nested levels. The innermost level is a simple binary search that allows quick evaluations of a large number of possible partitions. The middle level iterates over different possible allocations of proc...

A general model class of finite mixtures of linear regression models is presented. It allows (nested) varying and fixed effects for the regression coefficients and the variance. A combination of varying and fixed effects is useful in applications because it can be used to account for overdispersion as a nuisance parameter or to reduce the number of estimated parameters. In addition concomitant ...

The C-Planarity problem asks for a drawing of a clustered graph, i.e., a graph whose vertices belong to properly nested clusters, in which each cluster is represented by a simple closed region with no edgeedge crossings, no region-region crossings, and no unnecessary edge-region crossings. We study C-Planarity for embedded flat clustered graphs, graphs with a fixed combinatorial embedding whose...
