We study the probability distribution of age of information (AoI) in arbitrary networks with memoryless service times. A source node generates packets following a Poisson process, and then the packets are forwarded across the network in such a way th...
We substantially refine asymptotic logarithmic upper bounds produced by Svante Janson (2015) on the right tail of the limiting QuickSort distribution function $F$ and by Fill and Hung (2018) on the right tails of the corresponding density $f$ and of...
We present an algorithm for distributed networks to efficiently find a small vertex cut in the CONGEST model. Given a positive integer $κ$, our algorithm can, with high probability, either find $κ$ vertices whose removal disconnects the network or...

With the growing popularity of BitCoin in the last couple of years, other blockchains have been in development for solving various problems that need distributed consensus. Ethereum blockchain is one example, that gives users to develop "smart contracts" that runs in the blockcha…
We propose a transform method from a force curve obtained by a surface force apparatus (SFA) to a density distribution of a liquid on a surface of the SFA probe. (We emphasize that the transform method is a theory for the experiment.) In the method,...
Bayesian nonparametric estimates of Australian mental health distributions are obtained to assess how the mental health status of the population has changed over time and to compare the mental health status of female/male and indigenous/non-indigenou...
We list multiplier and convolutor spaces of the spaces occurring in L. Schwartz' "Théorie des distributions". Furthermore we clarify whether the multiplications and convolutions are continuous or not....
We present a novel attack on quantum key distribution based on the idea of adaptive absorption [calsam01]. The conditional beam splitting attack is shown to be much more efficient than the conventional beam spitting attack, achieving a performance...
Distributed denial of service attacks are often considered a security problem. While this may be the way to view the problem with today's Internet, new network architectures attempting to address the issue should view it as a scalability problem. In...
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is an attack wherein multiple compromised computer systems flood the bandwidth and/or resources of a target, such as a server, website or other network resource, and cause a denial of service for users of...
In this paper we evaluate distributed node coloring algorithms for wireless networks using the network simulator Sinalgo [by DCG@ETHZ]. All considered algorithms operate in the realistic signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) model of interfer...
We explore how to capture the significance of a sub-text block in an article and how it may be used for text mining tasks. A sub-text block is a sub-sequence of sentences in the article. We formulate the notion of content significance distribution (C...
Sinner et al. (2016) recently introduced a five-parameter family of size distributions, coined Interpolating Family or IF distribution for short. In this complementary note, we take advantage of the tractability of the IF distribution to compute the...
We show that a side-channel-free (SCF) source does not have to be an ideal source by introducing the idea of mapping from ideal source. We propose a 3-state no-touch protocol for quantum key distribution (QKD) where Alice and Bob does not modulate...

The last decade has sparked several valiant efforts in deductive verification of distributed agreement protocols such as consensus and leader election. Oddly, there have been far fewer verification efforts that go beyond the core protocols and target...
Deploying deep models in real-world scenarios entails a number of challenges, including computational efficiency and real-world (e.g., long-tailed) data distributions. We address the combined challenge of learning long-tailed distributions using high...
The fast charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in distribution networks requires real-time EV charging control to avoid the overloading of grid components. Recent studies have proposed congestion control protocols, which result from distributed optimiz...
