Algorithmic and Combinatorial Questions on Some Geometric Problems on Graphs
(2018-05-08)This thesis mainly focuses on algorithmic and combinatorial questions related to some geometric problems on graphs. In the last part of this thesis, a graph coloring problem is also discussed. Boxicity and Cubicity: These ... -
Algorithms for Product Pricing and Energy Allocation in Energy Harvesting Sensor Networks
(2018-05-09)In this thesis, we consider stochastic systems which arise in different real-world application contexts. The first problem we consider is based on product adoption and pricing. A monopolist selling a product has to appropriately ... -
Architecture and Design of Wide Band Spectrum Sensing Receiver for Cognitive Radio Systems
(2018-01-03)To explore spectral opportunities in wideband regime for cognitive radio we need a wideband spectrum sensing receiver. Current wideband receiver architectures need wideband analog to digital converter (ADC) to sample ... -
Ballast-Free Variable-Speed Generation for Standalone and Grid-Connected Micro-Hydel Power Plants

Bayes Optimal Feature Selection for Supervised Learning
(2018-02-18)The problem of feature selection is critical in several areas of machine learning and data analysis such as, for example, cancer classification using gene expression data, text categorization, etc. In this work, we consider ... -
Belief Propagation and Algorithms for Mean-Field Combinatorial Optimisations
(2017-11-15)We study combinatorial optimization problems on graphs in the mean-field model, which assigns independent and identically distributed random weights to the edges of the graph. Specifically, we focus on two generalizations ... -
Characterization of the Voice Source by the DCT for Speaker Information
(2017-12-10)Extracting speaker-specific information from speech is of great interest to both researchers and developers alike, since speaker recognition technology finds application in a wide range of areas, primary among them being ... -
Compact Modeling of Short Channel Common Double Gate MOSFET Adapted to Gate-Oxide Thickness Asymmetry
(2018-05-08)Compact Models are the physically based accurate mathematical description of the cir-cuit elements, which are computationally efficient enough to be incorporated in circuit simulators so that the outcome becomes useful for ... -
Computational Models of Perceptual Space : From Simple Features to Complex Shapes
(2018-02-15)Dissimilarity plays a very important role in object recognition. But, finding perceptual dissimilarity between objects is non-trivial as it is not equivalent to the pixel dissimilarity between the objects (For example, two ... -
Content Distribution in Social Groups
(2018-01-29)We study Social Groups consisting of self-interested inter-connected nodes looking for common content. We can observe Social Groups in various socio-technological networks, such as Cellular Network assisted Device-to-Device ... -
