This paper investigates the problem of secure distributed lossless compression in the presence of arbitrarily correlated side information at an eavesdropper. This scenario consists of two encoders (referred to as Alice and Charlie) that wish to reliably transmit their respective (correlated) sources to a legitimate receiver (referred to as Bob) while satisfying some requirement on the equivocat...

-The problem is considered of encoding a discrete memoryless source when correlated side information may or may not be available to the decoder. It is assumed that the side information is not available to the encoder. The rate-distortion function R( D,, D2) is determined where D, is the distortion achieved with side information and D, is the distortion achieved without it. A generalization is m...

The recent accounting scandals at Enron, WorldCom, and Tyco were related to the misrepresentation of liabilities. We provide a structural model of correlated multi-firm default, in which public bond investors are uncertain about the liability-dependent barrier at which individual firms default. Investors form prior beliefs on the barriers, which they update with the default status information o...

The design and performance analysis of bandit algorithms in the presence stage-wise safety or reliability constraints has recently garnered significant interest. In this work, we consider linear stochastic problem under additional unknown that need to be satisfied at each round. For problem, present analyze a new safe algorithm based on Thompson Sampling (TS). Our shows that, with high probabil...
