Grid computing enables scientists to combine and share the computer resources from multiple administrative domains to solve complex scientific problems.
We will consider the problem of cutting the maximum number of edges of a cube (commonly known as hypercube in n-dimensions) using a plane (hyperplane in n-dimensions). We will see an explicit plane which gives the maximum cut.
I will discuss a variation of the minority game. There are $N$ agents. Each has to choose between one of two alternatives everyday, and there is reward to each member of the smaller group.
Regular expressions are mostly known as pattern matching expressions in scripting languages (Perl, sed, awk, etc.). They are also theoretically studied for their strong relationship with Automata Theory.
The compressive sensing philosophy exploits the fact that many signals of interest have a sparse representation in some basis to provide an efficient approach to data acquisition and recovery.
As a doctoral student in decision sciences, I wandered into a classroom at MIT where S.E. Luria was teaching an introductory biology class to engineers. I sat in the back and caught the last few minutes of the class.
I will describe Maxwell's demon, the Smoluchowski ratchet and pawl, the Szilard engine that relates information and heat, and some work of Brillouin, Landauer, Bennett and others on these topics.
Active sequential hypothesis testing problem arises in a broad spectrum of applications in cognition, communications, design of experiments, and sensor management.
The notion of visibility graphs can be extended to that of pseudo-visibility graphs, where the edges between vertices do not necessarily remain straight line-segments.
