Guessing And Compression : A Large Deviations Approach
(2011-04-01)The problem of guessing a random string is studied. It arises in the analysis of the strength of secret-key cryptosystems against guessing attacks. Expected number of guesses, or more generally moments of the number of ... -
Interference Management For Vector Gaussian Multiple Access Channels
(2010-06-03)In this thesis, we consider a vector Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) with users demanding reliable communication at specific (Shannon-theoretic) rates. The objective is to assign vectors and powers to these users ... -
Large Time Behaviour and Metastability in Mean-Field Interacting Particle Systems
This thesis studies the large time behaviour and metastability in weakly interacting Markov processes with jumps. Our motivation is to quantify the large time behaviour of various networked systems that arise in practice. The ... -
Minimization Problems Based On A Parametric Family Of Relative Entropies
(2017-08-21)We study minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies. These relative entropies, which we call relative -entropies (denoted I (P; Q)), arise as redundancies under mismatched ... -
Nature-inspired Algorithms for Automated Deployment of Outdoor IoT Networks
A vast majority of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices will be connected in a topology where the edge-devices push data to a local gateway, which forwards the data to a cloud for further processing. In sizeable outdoor ... -
Neuronal Dissimilarity Indices that Predict Oddball Detection in Behaviour
(2017-09-23)Our vision is as yet unsurpassed by machines because of the sophisticated representations of objects in our brains. This representation is vastly different from a pixel-based representation used in machine storages. It is ... -
Optimal Mechanisms for Selling Two Heterogeneous Items
(2018-07-04)We consider the problem of designing revenue-optimal mechanisms for selling two heterogeneous items to a single buyer. Designing a revenue-optimal mechanism for selling a single item is simple: Set a threshold price based ... -
Resource Management In Celluar And Mobile Opportunistic Networks
(2015-01-07)In this thesis we study several resource management problems in two classes of wireless networks. The thesis is in two parts, the first being concerned with game theoretic approaches for cellular networks, and the second ... -
Sequential Controlled Sensing to Detect an Anomalous Process
In this thesis, we study the problem of identifying an anomalous arm in a multi-armed bandit as quickly as possible, subject to an upper bound on the error probability. Also known as odd arm identification, this problem ... -
Topics in Network Utility Maximization : Interior Point and Finite-step Methods
(2018-03-12)Network utility maximization has emerged as a powerful tool in studying flow control, resource allocation and other cross-layer optimization problems. In this work, we study a flow control problem in the optimization ... -
Topics on Safety and Security of Power Systems
In this thesis, we investigate some of the problems concerning the safety and security of power systems. Since the operational safety of the power system itself is a vast area of research, we choose to investigate the ...
