The paper characterizes the position value and the Myerson value for communication situations. The position value is originally defined as the sum of half the Shapley value of the link games but is also represented by the Shapley value of a modification of the link games. That modification is called the divided link games. In addition, by constructing coalition structures of the divided links f...

We establish theoretical bounds on qubit detuning for some of the previously proposed controlled-NOT !CNOT" logic gate implementations with weakly coupled Josephson phase qubits. It is found that in the twostep, #iSWAP-based case the value of the detuning during the entangling operations must not exceed 2g, where g is the characteristic coupling constant. In the single-step case we consider two...

We propose a novel type of cascading parametric interaction for generating a nonlinear phase shift in dielectric media with a quadratic nonlinear response based on two-frequency wave mixing of the fundamental and second-harmonic waves. Self-phase modulation of the fundamental wave results from a cascading process consisting of four second-order subprocesses, the direct and reverse subprocesses ...

A new code, named MAP, is written in FORTRAN language for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) calculation with the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and Message Passing Interface (MPI) parallelization. There are several optional numerical schemes for computing the MHD part, namely, modified Mac Cormack Scheme (MMC), Lax-Fridrichs scheme (LF) and weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme. All of th...

Based on the work in (Poller, 1994) and a minor assumption about a normal form for TAGs, we present a highly simplified version of the twostep parsing approach for TAGs which allows for a much easier analysis of run-time and space complexity. It also snggests how restrictions on the grammars might result in improvements in run-time complexity. The main advantage of a two-step parsing system sho...

This paper is an empirical investigation of money supply shock asymmetry using disaggregated output data covering the 1962:02-1999:11 sample period. A twostep estimation procedure is employed. The first step estimates the positive and negative shocks to M2 money growth. These shocks are then used as independent variables in the second-step estimation for 10 different disaggregated measures of i...

We study the problem of estimating the coefficients in linear ordinary differential equations (ODE’s) with a diverging number of variables when the solutions are observed with noise. The solution trajectories are first smoothed with local polynomial regression and the coefficients are estimated with nonconcave penalty proposed by [4]. Under some regularity and sparsity conditions, we show the p...

Micro-blogging sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ present a nice opportunity for targeting advertisements that are contextually related to the microblog content. By virtue of the sparse and noisy text makes identifying the microblogs suitable for advertising a very hard problem. In this work, we approach the problem of identifying the microblogs that could be targeted for advertisements a...

As vehicular networks become popular, more and more people want to access data from their vehicles. When many vehicles want to access data through a roadside unit, service scheduling becomes an important issue. In this paper, we identify some challenges in vehicle-roadside data access. As vehicles move pretty fast, the requests should be served quickly. Also, vehicles may upload data to the roa...

In this paper, an ADC for parallel readout to convert large amount data in sensor applications is proposed. The ADC achieves small area and low power consumption by using twostep conversion. A 1-order ΔΣ ADC converts coarse bits and then a cyclic ADC converts fine bits. An operational amplifier, comparators, capacitors, and switches used in the ADCs are efficiently shared to reduce power consum...
