We describe a two-stage robust optimization approach for solving network flow and design problems with uncertain demand. In two-stage network optimization one defers a subset of the flow decisions until after the realization of the uncertain demand. Availability of such a recourse action allows one to come up with less conservative solutions compared to single-stage optimization. However, this ...

We aim to address the problem of Natural Language Video Localization (NLVL) — localizing video segment corresponding a natural language description in long and untrimmed video. State-of-the-art NLVL methods are almost one-stage fashion, which can be typically grouped into two categories: 1) anchor-based approach: it first pre-defines series candidates (e.g., by sliding window), then does classi...

Inspired by the Belt and Road Initiative, we introduce a model of two-stage network games, when players first form directed (the stage) then they may reconsider actions made at stage choose controls to influence other in positive or negative way second stage). At both stages get their payoffs. Considering cooperative version game, examine problem subgame consistency design an imputation distrib...

In this review article, a stage-convertible RF power amplifier designed with a 0.18-m RF CMOS process is described. A method to implement a low-power matching network is an essential technology for the stage-convertible power amplifier. Various low-power matching networks with distributed active transformers as an output power combiner are compared in terms of the amounts of undesired coupling...

In this paper, we introduce abstract algebraic analysis of the topological structure of a banyan network, which has become the baseline for most switching networks. The analysis provides the following key results: (1) The switching elements of a switching stage are arranged in order, that is, each stage of a banyan network consists of a series of a cyclic group. (2) The links between switching ...
