Let $T^* = \{P^*_1, \ldots, P^*_N\}$ be a polygonal tiling of a simply connected region in the plane, and let $T = \{P_1, \ldots, P_N\}$ be a noisy version of $T^*$ obtained by making small perturbations to the coordinates of the vertices…
This study deals with the problem of optimizing transmit power in high density heterogeneous networks. In the communication network, effective methods of allocating transmit power, in order to reduce the total transmit power, but still…
This paper introduces new approaches for combining non-orthogonal multiple access with distributed antenna systems. The study targets a minimization of the total transmit power in each cell, under user rate and power multiplexing…
The electrical network reconfiguration problem aims to minimize losses in a distribution system by adjusting switches while ensuring radial topology. The growing use of renewable energy and the complexity of managing modern power grids make…
In this paper, we study the problem of computing Euclidean geodesic centers of a polygonal domain $\mathcal{P}$ with a total of $n$ vertices. We discover many interesting observations. We give a necessary condition for a point being a…
In this paper, a distributed convex optimization framework is developed for energy trading between islanded microgrids. More specifically, the problem consists of several islanded microgrids that exchange energy flows by means of an…
In this paper, we consider networks with topologies described by some connected undirected graph ${\mathcal{G}}=(V, E)$ and with some agents (fusion centers) equipped with processing power and local peer-to-peer communication, and…
Deciding whether a political districting plan was distorted by a hidden agenda, or whether it dilutes the voting power of some group, requires a neutral baseline for comparison. Remarkably, all nine U.S. Supreme Court justices have now…
In this paper we provide a fully distributed implementation of the k-means clustering algorithm, intended for wireless sensor networks where each agent is endowed with a possibly high-dimensional observation (e.g., position, humidity,…
Given a surface with boundary and some points on its boundary, a polygon diagram is a way to connect those points as vertices of non-overlapping polygons on the surface. Such polygon diagrams represent non-crossing permutations on a surface…
Distributed optimization for resource allocation problems is investigated and a sub-optimal continuous-time algorithm is proposed. Our algorithm has lower order dynamics than others to reduce burdens of computation and communication, and is…
The objective of clustering is to discover natural groups in datasets and to identify geometrical structures which might reside there, without assuming any prior knowledge on the characteristics of the data. The problem can be seen as…
This paper considers the problem of clustering a partially observed unweighted graph---i.e., one where for some node pairs we know there is an edge between them, for some others we know there is no edge, and for the remaining we do not know…
Efficient extraction of useful knowledge from these data is still a challenge, mainly when the data is distributed, heterogeneous and of different quality depending on its corresponding local infrastructure. To reduce the overhead cost,…
The generation of curves and surfaces from given data is a well-known problem in Computer-Aided Design that can be approached using subdivision schemes. They are powerful tools that allow obtaining new data from the initial one by means of…
In political redistricting, the compactness of a district is used as a quantitative proxy for its fairness. Several well-established, yet competing, notions of geographic compactness are commonly used to evaluate the shapes of regions,…
Distributed algorithms and theories are called for in this era of big data. Under weaker local signal-to-noise ratios, we improve upon the celebrated one-round distributed principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm designed in the spirit…
Consider a distributed coding for computing problem with constant decoding locality, i.e., with a vanishing error probability, any single sample of the function can be approximately recovered by probing only constant number of compressed…
In this paper, a distributed subgradient-based algorithm is proposed for continuous-time multi-agent systems to search a feasible solution to convex inequalities. The algorithm involves each agent achieving a state constrained by its own…
In this paper, we generalize the notions of centroids and barycenters to the broad class of information-theoretic distortion measures called Bregman divergences. Bregman divergences are versatile, and unify quadratic geometric distances…
