Given the dynamic nature of traffic, we investigate variant robust network design where have to determine capacity reserve on each link so that demand vector belonging a polyhedral set can be routed. The objective is either minimize congestion or linear cost. Routing assumed fractional and (i.e., dependent current traffic vector). We first prove problem with minimum cannot approximated within a...

Abstract Interference is an important limitation in many communication systems. It has been shown situations that the popular Gaussian approximation not adequate and interference exhibits impulsive behavior. This paper surveys different statistical models proposed for such interference, can generally be unified using class of sub-exponential family distributions, its impact on receiver design. ...

This article highlights new spline-empowered computational methods for solving robust design optimization (RDO) problems in complex mechanical systems. The are predicated on a spline dimensional decomposition (SDD) of high-dimensional, discontinuous, or nonsmooth stochastic response statistical moment analysis, novel fusion SDD and score functions calculating the second-moment sensitivities wit...
