We consider the online list accessing problem and present a new family of competitive-optimal deterministic list update algorithms which is the largest class of such algorithms known to-date. This family, called Sort-by-Rank (sbr), is parametrized with a real 0 1, where sbr(0) is the Move-to-Front algorithm and sbr(1) is equivalent to the Timestamp algorithm. The behaviour of sbr() mediates bet...

Presently, conditions ensuring the validity of bootstrap methods for the sample mean of (possibly heterogeneous) near epoch dependent (NED) functions of mixing processes are unknown. Here we establish the validity of the bootstrap in this context, extending the applicability of bootstrap methods to a class of processes broadly relevant for applications in economics and Þnance. Our results apply...

| This paper presents Power-Pro architecture (Programmable Power Management Architecture), a novel processor architecture for power reduction. Power-Pro architecture has following two functionalities, (i) Supply voltage and clock frequency can be dynamically varied, (ii) Active data-path width can be dynamically adjusted to requirement of application programs. For the application programs which...

So far, there have been introduced many front-end studies, but most of them fail to present, in a consistent way, how the signals are transformed throughout the front-end itself. In this paper, it is intended to introduce a unique presentation of spectrum and signal transformation within RF front-ends. This approach should help researches to have better insight into the high-level modeling and ...
