In this paper, a generalized form of telegrapher's equations for electromagnetic field coupling to buried wires is derived. The presented approach is based on thin-wire antenna theory. The effect of a dissipative half-space is taken into account via the re ...
Wireless sensor networks have emerged a few years ago, enabling large scale sensing at low cost. There are many interesting problems related to this new sensing tool: designing robust and small hardware, defining adapted routing protocols, minimizing the e ...
We improve and simplify the minimization method for solitary waves in two cases: firstly, when the surface tension is weak (that is, the Bond number is < 1/3) and the depth is finite, and secondly, when the depth is infinite. In a previous work on the firs ...
The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...
We propose a Fourier analytical condition linking alias-free sampling with the Fourier transform of the indicator function defined on the given frequency support. Our discussions center around how to develop practical computation algorithms based on the pr ...

Damage occurring under tensile loading and the resulting increase of electrical resistance of indium-doped tin oxide and amorphous graphite coatings on various polymer substrates are investigated, using an electro-fragmentation method in situ in an optical ...
A long-standing open question in information theory is to characterize the unicast capacity of a wireless relay network. The difficulty arises due to the complex signal interactions induced in the network, since the wireless channel inherently broadcasts t ...
In this paper, an exact solution is derived for the characterization of thermal stresses in a single-fibre composite of finite length. All the required boundary and interfacial conditions of the thermo-elastic problem are thus satisfied exactly. The propos ...
We design distributed and quantized average consensus algorithms on arbitrary connected networks. By construction, quantized algorithms cannot produce a real, analog average. Instead, our algorithm reaches consensus on the quantized interval that contains ...
We propose and evaluate antichain algorithms to solve the universality and language inclusion problems for nondeterministic Buchi automata, and the emptiness problem for alternating Buchi automata. To obtain those algorithms, we establish the existence of ...
