In multiple-user communications, the bursty nature of the packet arrival times cannot be divorced from the analysis of the transmission process. However, in traditional information theory the random arrival times are smoothed out by appropriated source cod ...
Though the following topics seem unlinked, most of the tools used in this thesis are related to random walks and renewal theory. After introducing the voter model, we consider the parabolic Anderson model with the voter model as catalyst. In GÄRTNER, DEN H ...
We consider increase-decrease congestion controls, a formulation that accommodates many known congestion controls. There have been many works that aim to obtain relation between the loss-event rate \fpp and time-average window \taw for some known parti ...
We study the dynamics of systems with deterministic trajectories randomly forced by instantaneous discontinuous jumps occurring according to two different compound Poisson processes. One process, with constant frequency, causes instantaneous positive rando ...
The population dynamics of an assembly of globally coupled homogeneous phase oscillators is studied in presence of non-Gaussian fluctuations. The variance of the underlying stochastic process grows as t + \beta^2 t^2 ( \beta being a constant) and therefore ...
Sequences of events in noise-driven excitable systems with slow variables often show serial correlations among their intervals of events. Here, we employ a master equation for generalized non-renewal processes to calculate the interval and count statistics ...
Traditionally, the bursty nature of data sources is not taken in consideration by information theory. Random arrival times typically are assumed to be smoothed out by appropriate source coding, rendering any meaningful analysis of the end-to-end delay impo ...
The mechanism leading to the onset of the electrode effects is still under discussion in the literature. In this contribution it is proposed that the main mechanism responsible of the electrode effects is the formation of a gas film isolating the electrode ...
