      Analytic residues along algebraic cycles 

      Berenstein, Carlos A.; Vidras, Alekos; Yger, A. (2005)
      Let W be a q-dimensional irreducible algebraic subvariety in the affine space A C n, P1,..., Pm m elements in C[X1,...,Xn], and V(P) the set of common zeros of the Pj's in C n. Assuming that W is not included in V(P), one ...

      Distributed function calculation via linear iterations in the presence of malicious agents - Part II: Overcoming malicious behavior 

      Sundaram, S.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2008)
      Given a network of interconnected nodes, each with a given initial value, we develop a distributed strategy that enables some or all of the nodes to calculate any arbitrary function of these initial values, despite the ...

      Examples of optimal control for nonlinear stochastic control problems with partial information 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Elliott, Robert J. (IEEE, 1995)
      Partially observable stochastic optimal control problems are considered. It is shown, via an information state approach and dynamic programming, that several classes of nonlinear systems with non-linearities in the dynamics ...

      Modeling change of haplotype distributions in random mating populations using random sets 

      Raji-Kermany, A.; Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Hickey, D. (2004)
      Several mathematical models have been developed to describe the genetic structure of populations. Most of these models focus on only one, or few genetic loci. In this paper, we develop a model to describe a large number ...

      On efficient AR spectral estimation for long-range predictions 

      Karagrigoriou, Alex; Vonta, Filia (2005)
      This article discusses the concept of asymptotic efficiency from the frequency domain point of view making use of the direct method for multiple prediction. In particular, it is shown that with the use of a new autoregressive ...

      Optimal measurement strategy for nonlinear filtering 

      Ahmed, N. U.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (2006)
      In this paper we consider the question of an optimal measurement strategy for nonlinear filtering. Given a set of measurement and observation options, the problem faced by a designer is to choose the option that gives the ...
