      Robust coding for uncertain sources: A minimax approach 

      Rezaei, F.; Charalambous, Charalambos D. (2005)
      This paper is concerned with designing minimum average length uniquely decodable codes, for a family of source distributions for which the relative entropy with respect to a given nominal distribution is bounded above by ...

      Robust control over uncertain communication channels 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Farhadi, A.; Denic, S.; Rezaei, F. (2005)
      In this paper, the mathematical framework for studying robust control over uncertain communication channels is introduced. The theory is developed by generalizing the classical information theoretic measures of information ...

      Stochastic optimal control of discrete-time systems subject to conditional distribution uncertainty 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Tzortzis, I.; Rezaei, F. (2011)
      The aim of this paper is to address optimality of control strategies for stochastic discrete time control systems subject to conditional distribution uncertainty. This type of uncertainty is motivated from the fact that ...

      Stochastic optimal control subject to ambiguity 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Tzortzis, I.; Rezaei, F. (2011)
      The aim of this paper is to address optimality of control strategies for stochastic control systems subject to uncertainty and ambiguity. Uncertainty corresponds to the case when the true dynamics and the nominal dynamics ...

      Stochastic uncertain systems subject to relative entropy constraints: Induced norms and monotonicity properties of minimax games 

      Charalambous, Charalambos D.; Rezaei, F. (2007)
      Entropy and relative entropy are fundamental concepts on which information theory is founded on, and in general, telecommunication systems design. On the other hand, dissipation inequalities, minimax strategies, and induced ...
