Virtually Moving Base Stations for Energy Efficiency in Wireless Sensor Networks

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Runwei Zhang

Energy efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be improved by moving base stations (BSs), as this scheme evenly distributes the communication load in the network. However, physically moving BSs is complicated and costly. In this paper, we propose ...

Majority Logic Representation and Satisfiability

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù

Majority logic is a powerful generalization of common AND/OR logic. Original two-level and multi-level logic networks can use majority operators as primitive connective, in place of AND/ORs. In such a way, Boolean functions have novel means for compact rep ...

Fixed-Rank Rayleigh Quotient Maximization by an MPSK Sequence

Anastasios Kyrillidis

Certain optimization problems in communication systems, such as limited-feedback constant-envelope beamforming or noncoherent M-ary phase-shift keying (MPSK) sequence detection, result in the maximization of a fixed-rank positive semidefinite quadratic for ...

Almost Polynomial Factor Hardness for Closest Vector Problem with Preprocessing

Nisheeth Vishnoi

We prove that for an arbitrarily small constant < 0, the preprocessing versions of the closest vector problem and the nearest codeword problem are hard to approximate within a factor 2log1-en, under the assumption that NP ⊈ SIZE(2logO(1/e)n). © 2014 Soc ...

Single machine scheduling with scenarios

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effort to design algorithms that are applicable in the presence of uncertainty in ...

Testing additive integrality gaps

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Gennady Shmonin

We consider the problem of testing whether the maximum additive integrality gap of a family of integer programs in standard form is bounded by a given constant. This can be viewed as a generalization of the integer rounding property, which can be tested in ...

Nanoparticle actuated hollow drug delivery vehicles

Esther Amstad

The trend towards personalized medicine and the long-standing wish to reduce drug consumption and unwanted side effects have been the driving force behind research on drug delivery vehicles that control localization, timing and dose of released cargo. Cont ...

Complexity of the critical node problem over trees

Marco Di Summa

In this paper we deal with the critical node problem (CNP), i.e., the problem of searching for a given number K of nodes in a graph G, whose removal minimizes the (weighted or unweighted) number of connections between pairs of nodes in the residual graph. ...

Decision Procedures for Program Synthesis and Verification

Ruzica Piskac

Decision procedures are widely used in software development and verification. The goal of this dissertation is to increase the scope of properties that can be verified using decision procedures. To achieve this goal, we identify three improvements over the ...

Hardness Of Precedence Constrained Scheduling On Identical Machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In 1966, Graham showed that a simple procedure called list scheduling yields a 2-approximation algorithm for the central problem of scheduling precedence constrained jobs on identical machines to minimize makespan. To date this has remained the best algori ...
