We present a novel probabilistic framework for the recovery of discrete signals with missing data, extending classical Fourier-based methods. While prior results, such as those of Donoho and Stark; see also Logan's method, guarantee exact…

Motivated by multi-hop communication in unreliable wireless networks, we present a percolation theory for time-varying networks. We develop a renormalization group theory for a prototypical network on a regular grid, where individual links…
