Recently, an information-theoretical decomposition of Kullback–Leibler divergence into uncertainty, reliability, and resolution was introduced. In this article, this decomposition is generalized to the case where the observation is uncertain. Along with a ...
This paper explores a connection between randomness extraction and channel (source) coding problems. It is explained how efficient extractors can be used to define efficient coding schemes and reciprocally, a new deterministic extractor based on a polar co ...

We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a particular quadratic generator and study the behaviour of their solutions when the probability measure is changed, the filtration is shrunk, or the underlying probability space is transf ...
This work investigates the influence of diffusion adaptation on the behavior of networks of micro-organisms that are subject to Brownian fluctuations in the motion of their constituent agents. The organisms are assumed to share information, usually through ...
A personalized measure for thermal comfort has been applied for use in combination with smart controls for building automation. Using data from a field study, we first show the superiority of personalized measures for thermal comfort compared to standard n ...
Hydropeaking is a common phenomenon of water courses that are affected by peak energy production of hydro power plants. It may cause severe impacts on the biodiversity of a stream. In fact, due to hydropeaking fishes, macroinvertebrates and aquatic plants ...
The exponential server timing channel is known to be the simplest, and in some sense canonical, queuing timing channel. The capacity of this infinite-memory channel is known. Here, we discuss practical finite-length restrictions on the codewords and attemp ...
Let B be a positive quaternion algebra, and let O subset of B be an Eichler order. There is associated, in a natural way, a variety X = X(O) the connected components of which are indexed by the ideal classes of O and are isomorphic to spheres. This variety ...
The dissertation “Archaeological area of Classe: memory and identity of a buried place” introduces a strategic and global masterplan to set a new dialogue between the ancient traces of the Ravenna’s harbour and the system of fascinating Early Christian bas ...
A new approach to assess the orthogonality of two-dimensional (2-D) separation systems based on conditional entropy is developed. It considers the quantitative distribution of peaks in the entire separation space such that the orthogonality obtained is ind ...
