We study a majority based preference diffusion model in which the members of a social network update their preferences based on those of their connections. Consider an undirected graph where each node has a strict linear order over a set of…
In this paper we consider strategies for MIMO interference channels which combine the notions of interference alignment and channel pre-inversion. Users collaborate to form data-sharing groups, enabling them to clear interference within a…
The channel estimation is one of important techniques to ensure reliable broadband signal transmission. Broadband channels are often modeled as a sparse channel. Comparing with traditional dense-assumption based linear channel estimation…
This paper focuses on the problem of energy imbalance management in amicrogrid. The problem is investigated from the power market perspective. Unlike the traditional power grid, a microgrid can obtain extra energy froma renewable energy…
Off-chain transaction channels represent one of the leading techniques to scale the transaction throughput in cryptocurrencies. However, the economic effect of transaction channels on the system has not been explored much until now. We…
Payment channel networks (PCNs) are a promising approach to making cryptocurrency transactions faster and more scalable. At their core, PCNs bypass the blockchain by routing transactions through intermediary channels. However, a channel can…
Multi-constraint hypergraph partitioning is a generalization of balanced partitioning, where the vertex set of a hypergraph is partitioned such that the inter-block connectivity of hyperedges is minimized while balancing the vertices with…
The least cost influence maximization problem aims to determine minimum cost of partial (e.g., monetary) incentives initially given to the influential spreaders on a social network, so that these early adopters exert influence toward their…
It has been shown that it is impossible to achieve both stringent end-to-end deadline and reliability guarantees in a large network without having complete information of all future packet arrivals. In order to maintain desirable…
Banks in the interbank network can not assess the true risks associated with lending to other banks in the network, unless they have full information on the riskiness of all the other banks. These risks can be estimated by using network…
The current framework of network utility maximization for distributed rate allocation assumes fixed channel code rates. However, by adapting the physical layer channel coding, different rate-reliability tradeoffs can be achieved on each…
To address the challenges that the decarbonization of the energy sector is bringing about, advanced distribution network management and operation strategies are being developed. Many of these strategies require accurate network models to…
The smart grid concept has emerged to address the existing problems in the traditional electric grid, which has been functioning for more than a hundred years. The most crucial difference between traditional grids and smart grids is the…
The growth-optimal portfolio optimization strategy pioneered by Kelly is based on constant portfolio rebalancing which makes it sensitive to transaction fees. We examine the effect of fees on an example of a risky asset with a binary return…
Q&A websites rely on user-generated responses, with incentives such as reputation scores or monetary rewards often offered. While some users may find it intrinsically rewarding to assist others, studies indicate that payment can improve the…
The task of accelerating large neural networks on general purpose hardware has, in recent years, prompted the use of channel pruning to reduce network size. However, the efficacy of pruning based approaches has since been called into…
Viability of electric car-sharing operations depends on rebalancing algorithms. Earlier methods in the literature suggest a trend toward non-myopic algorithms using queueing principles. We propose a new rebalancing policy using cost…
We propose a model of incentives for data pricing in large mobile networks, in which an operator wishes to balance the number of connections (active users) of different classes of users in the different cells and at different time instants,…
In distributed wireless networks, nodes often do not know the topology (network size, connectivity and the channel gains) of the network. Thus, they have to compute their transmission and reception parameters in a distributed fashion. In…
Heat exchanger network synthesis exploits excess heat by integrating process hot and cold streams and improves energy efficiency by reducing utility usage. Determining provably good solutions to the minimum number of matches is a bottleneck…
