Compute-and-Forward (C&F) has been proposed as an efficient strategy to reduce the backhaul load for the distributed antenna systems. Finding the optimal coefficients in C&F has commonly been treated as a shortest vector problem (SVP),…
We show that the Minimal Length-Bounded L-But problem can be computed in linear time with respect to L and the tree-width of the input graph as parameters. In this problem the task is to find a set of edges of a graph such that after…
Quasi-lattices are introduced in terms of 'join' and 'meet' operations. It is observed that quasi-lattices become lattices when these operations are associative and when these operations satisfy 'modularity' conditions. A fundamental…
