Given the possibility of communication systems failing catastrophically, we investigate limits to communicating over channels that fail at random times. These channels are finite-state semi-Markov channels. We show that communication with…
Pattern avoidance classes of permutations that cannot be expressed as unions of proper subclasses can be described as the set of subpermutations of a single bijection. In the case that this bijection is a permutation of the natural numbers…
We study the problem of communicating over a single-source single-terminal network in the presence of an adversary that may jam a single link of the network. If any one of the edges can be jammed, the capacity of such networks is well…
In this paper, we consider sequential dynamic team decision problems with nonclassical information structures. First, we address the problem from the point of view of a ``manager" who seeks to derive the optimal strategy of the team in a…
We construct a fractured structure, in the sense of Lurie, on the $\infty$-topos of condensed anima. This fractured structure allows us to better comprehend various properties of condensed anima - we use it to exhibit an explicit collection…
An input-output approach to stability analysis is explored for networked systems with uncertain link dynamics. The main result consists of a collection of integral quadratic constraints, which together imply robust stability of the…
Complex networks have recently attracted much interest due to their prevalence in nature and our daily lives [1, 2]. A critical property of a network is its resilience to random breakdown and failure [3-6], typically studied as a…
Though modern neural networks have achieved impressive performance in both vision and language tasks, we know little about the functions that they implement. One possibility is that neural networks implicitly break down complex tasks into…
Sum-networks are networks where all the terminals demand the sum of the symbols generated at the sources. It has been shown that for any finite set/co-finite set of prime numbers, there exists a sum-network which has a vector linear…
The problem of deciding whether CSP instances admit solutions has been deeply studied in the literature, and several structural tractability results have been derived so far. However, constraint satisfaction comes in practice as a…
Traffic flows in a distributed computing network require both transmission and processing, and can be interdicted by removing either communication or computation resources. We study the robustness of a distributed computing network under…
Using data from a large laboratory experiment on problem solving in which we varied the structure of 16-person networks we investigate how an organization's network structure may be constructed to optimize performance in complex…
Complex networks are ubiquitous: a cell, the human brain, a group of people and the Internet are all examples of interconnected many-body systems characterized by macroscopic properties that cannot be trivially deduced from those of their…
In contrast to the network coding problem wherein the sinks in a network demand subsets of the source messages, in a network computation problem the sinks demand functions of the source messages. Similarly, in the functional index coding…
Truss structures composed of members that work exclusively in tension or in compression appear in several problems of science and engineering, e.g., in the study of the resisting mechanisms of masonry structures, as well as in the design of…
In many real-world networks the ability to synchronize is a key property for its performance. Examples include power-grid, sensor, and neuron networks as well as consensus formation. Recent work on undirected networks with diffusive…
Structured prediction problems are one of the fundamental tools in machine learning. In order to facilitate algorithm development for their numerical solution, we collect in one place a large number of datasets in easy to read formats for a…
Constrained coding is a fundamental field in coding theory that tackles efficient communication through constrained channels. While channels with fixed constraints have a general optimal solution, there is increasing demand for parametric…
Structural resolution (or S-resolution) is a newly proposed alternative to SLD-resolution that allows a systematic separation of derivations into term-matching and unification steps. Productive logic programs are those for which…
We consider the problem of joint source and channel coding of structured data such as natural language over a noisy channel. The typical approach to this problem in both theory and practice involves performing source coding to first…
