A common technique to improve the reliability of loop (or ring) networks is by introducing link redundancy; that is, by providing several alternative paths for communication between pairs of nodes. With alternative paths between nodes, the network can now sustain several node and link failures by bypassing the faulty components. However, faults occurring at strategic locations in a ring can pre...

In some applications the covariance matrix of the observations is not only symmetric with respect to its main diagonal but also with respect to the anti-diagonal. The standard forward-only sample covariance estimate does not impose this extra symmetry. In such cases one often uses the so-called forward-backward sample covariance estimate. In this paper, a direct comparative study of the relativ...

In this talk we give a short review of forward jets and forward W -boson production at hadron colliders, in view of the extraction of footprints of BFKL physics. We argue that at Tevatron energies, dijet production at large rapidity intervals is still subasymptotic with respect to the BFKL regime, thus the cross section is strongly dependent on the various cuts applied in the experimental setup...

In this paper, we approach the problem of finding the zeros of the sum of a maximally monotone operator and a monotone and Lipschitz continuous one in a real Hilbert space via an implicit forward-backward-forward dynamical system with nonconstant relaxation parameters and stepsizes of the resolvents. Besides proving existence and uniqueness of strong global solutions for the differential equati...

In this paper, we propose a stochastic forward–backward–forward splitting algorithm and prove its almost sure weak convergence in real separable Hilbert spaces. Applications to composite monotone inclusion andminimization problems are demonstrated.

We introduced the use of two-hop forwarding to increase the throughput of an 802.11 network in our earlier work (Narayanan et al., Proceedings of IEEE WCNC’05, March 2005). Other researchers have also considered the benefits of forwarding in the 802.11 infrastructure mode to increase the total network throughput. But the high-data rate node that forwards data for other nodes will have to spend ...

In this paper, we propose an algebraic formalization of the two important classes of dynamic programming algorithms called forward and forward-backward algorithms. They are generalized extensively in this study so that a wide range of other existing algorithms is subsumed. Forward algorithms generalized in this study subsume the ordinary forward algorithm on trellises for sequence labeling, the...

Sensitivity analysis is an important tool for describing power system dynamic behavior in response to parameter variations. It is a central component in preventive and corrective control applications. The existing approaches for sensitivity calculations, namely, finite-difference and forward sensitivity analysis, require a computational effort that increases linearly with the number of sensitiv...
