On Secrecy Capacity Scaling in Wireless Networks
This work studies the achievable secure rate per source-destination pair in wireless networks. First, a path loss model is considered, where the legitimate and eavesdropper nodes are assumed to be placed according to Poisson point processes with intensities $\lambda$ and $\lambda_e$, respectively. It is shown that, as ...

Optimal scalings for local Metropolis--Hastings chains on nonproduct targets in high dimensions
We investigate local MCMC algorithms, namely the random-walk Metropolis and the Langevin algorithms, and identify the optimal choice of the local step-size as a function of the dimension $n$ of the state space, asymptotically as $n\to\infty$. We consider target distributions defined as a change of measure from a produc...

Distinct scalings for mean first-passage time of random walks on scale-free networks with the same degree sequence
In general, the power-law degree distribution has profound influence on various dynamical processes defined on scale-free networks. In this paper, we will show that power-law degree distribution alone does not suffice to characterize the behavior of trapping problem on scale-free networks, which is an integral major th...

Bowen-York trumpet data and black-hole simulations

When these data are evolved, they quickly approach a ``trumpet'' topology, suggesting that it would be...

A method is developed for estimating the emission rates of contaminants into the atmosphere from multiple point sources using measurements of particulate material deposited at ground level. The approach is based on a Gaussian plume type solution for the advection-diffusion equation with ground-level deposition and give...

Linearly Coupled Communication Games
This paper discusses a special type of multi-user communication scenario, in which users' utilities are linearly impacted by their competitors' actions. First, we explicitly characterize the Nash equilibrium and Pareto boundary of the achievable utility region. Second, the price of anarchy incurred by the non-collabora...

Closed sets of non-local correlations
We introduce a fundamental concept -- closed sets of correlations -- for studying non-local correlations. We argue that sets of correlations corresponding to information-theoretic principles, or more generally to consistent physical theories, must be closed under a natural set of operations. Hence, studying the closure...

Bi-cross-validation of the SVD and the nonnegative matrix factorization
This article presents a form of bi-cross-validation (BCV) for choosing the rank in outer product models, especially the singular value decomposition (SVD) and the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). Instead of leaving out a set of rows of the data matrix, we leave out a set of rows and a set of columns, and then pr...

Benchmark all-electron ab initio quantum Monte Carlo calculations for small molecules
We study the efficiency, precision and accuracy of all-electron variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations using Slater basis sets. Starting from wave functions generated by Hartree-Fock and density functional theory, we describe an algorithm to enforce the electron-nucleus cusp condition by linear proj...

Heat transport in model jammed solids
We calculate numerically the normal modes of vibrations in 3D jammed packings of soft spheres as a function of the packing fraction and obtain the energy diffusivity, a spectral measure of transport that controls sound propagation and thermal conductivity. The crossover frequency between weak and strong phonon scatteri...

Phased-MIMO Radar: A Tradeoff Between Phased-Array and MIMO Radars
We propose a new technique for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with colocated antennas which we call phased-MIMO radar. The new technique enjoys the advantages of MIMO radar without sacrificing the main advantage of phased-array radar which is the coherent processing gain at the transmitting side. The essen...

On k-Column Sparse Packing Programs
We consider the class of packing integer programs (PIPs) that are column sparse, i.e. there is a specified upper bound k on the number of constraints that each variable appears in. We give an (ek+o(k))-approximation algorithm for k-column sparse PIPs, improving on recent results of $k^2\cdot 2^k$ and $O(k^2)$. We also ...

About two thirds of the stars observed are hydrogen-dominated DA white dwarfs. Here we present a catalog and detailed spectroscopic analysis of the DA stars in the SPY. Atmospheric parameters e...

The hardness-intensity diagram of all RXTE/PCA data combined shows a q-shaped track similar to that observed in previous outbursts.
