We show how to compute or at least to estimate various capacity-related quantities for bosonic Gaussian channels. Among these are the coherent information, the entanglement-assisted classical capacity, the one-shot classical capacity, and a quantity involving the transpose operation, shown to be a general upper bound on the quantum capacity, even allowing for finite errors. All bounds are expli...

One of the most surprising recent results in quantum Shannon theory is the superactivation of the quantum capacity of a quantum channel. This phenomenon has its roots in the extreme violation of additivity of the channel capacity and enables to reliably transmit quantum information over zerocapacity quantum channels. In this work we demonstrate a similar effect for the classical capacity of a q...

Theories of absorptive capacity propose that knowledge gained from prior experience facilitates the identification, selection, and implementation of related profitable practices. Researchers have investigated how managers may develop absorptive capacity by building internal knowledge stocks, but few have focused on the distribution of this knowledge within the firm and the role managers play in...

We study a firm's optimal strategy to adjust its capacity using demand information. The capacity adjustment is costly and often subject to managerial hurdles which sometimes make it difficult to adjust capacity multiple times. In order to clearly analyze the impact of demand learning on the firm's decision, we study two scenarios. In the first scenario, the firm's capacity adjustment cost incre...

considering concepts such as emphasize on the role of the all stakeholders in urban regeneration, is one of the important and fundamental principles. this is important because in most cases, the private sector, government and municipal are considered more in process of intervention in distressed area and play a key role in this situation. but the role of people is often considered minor. empowe...

An open issue in self-organization is how to engineer emergent behaviors. This issue is also of interest for engineering holonic multi-agent systems as any level of a holarchy is dependant of the emergent behaviors of its sub-levels. In order to tackle this specific feature of holonic multiagent systems, the capacity concept which abstracts a know-how from its concrete realization is introduced...
