Defects in undoped germanosilicate fibers have a profound effect on optical properties in the visible region of the spectrum. Photoexcitation of these defects can produce a refractive-index change, which in turn can be used for many useful purposes, including the formation of gratings and second-harmonic generation in fibers. The defects responsible for this behavior have been associated with t...

Fujiwara and Iwama [In: The 13th Annual International Symposium on Algorithms andComputation, pp. 476–488 (2002)] first integrated probability distribution into the classical competitive analysis to study the rental problem. They assumed that the future inputs are drawn from an exponential distribution, and obtained the optimal competitive strategy and the competitive ratio by the derivative me...
