Can Negligible Cooperation Increase Network Capacity? The Average-Error Case
In communication networks, cooperative strategies are coding schemes where network nodes work together to improve network performance metrics such as sum-rate. This work studies encoder cooperation in the setting of a discrete multiple access channel with two encoders and a single decoder. A node in the network that is connected to both encoders via rate-limited links, referred to as the cooper...
متن کاملMutation in evolutionary games can increase average fitness at equilibrium.
We study game dynamical interactions between two strategies, A and B, and analyse whether the average fitness of the population at equilibrium can be increased by adding mutation from A to B. Classifying all two by two games with payoff matrix [(a,b),(c,d)], we show that mutation from A to B enhances the average fitness of the whole population (i) if both a and d are less than (b + c)/2 and (ii...
متن کاملEnvironmental 50Hz Magnetic Fields Can Increase Viability of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)
Introduction Over the last decades, considerable levels of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been characterized in the living environment. Recent epidemiological studies on occupational and residential exposure to EMF have shown that 50/60 Hz fields, known as extremely low frequencies (ELF), have various biological effects, such as angiogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of en...
متن کاملTheory of oscillations in average crisis-induced transient lifetimes.
Analytical and numerical study of the roughly periodic oscillations emerging on the background of the well-known power law governing the scaling of the average lifetimes of crisis induced chaotic transients is presented. The explicit formula giving the amplitude of "normal" oscillations in terms of the eigenvalues of unstable orbits involved in the crisis is obtained using a simple geometrical ...
متن کاملAverage optical performance of the human eye as a function of age in a normal population.
PURPOSE To determine the average optical performance of the human eye, in terms of the modulation transfer function (MTF), as a function of age. METHODS An apparatus was constructed to measure the ocular MTF, based on the recording of images of a green, 543-nm laser-point source after reflection in the retina and double pass through the ocular media. MTFs were computed from the average of thr...
