Alternative Modeling of Volunteer Based Systems
PublicationThe canonical approach to model a flow of a voluntary based computing, as presented in Chapter 7 may tax the capacity of the simulator, especially when a more complex model of Voluntary Computing, proposed in [1], is used which would imply that, for typical heterogeneous groups of volunteers, several thousands of threads would have to be run inside the simulator, to mimic closely the behaviour of every volunteer. This chapter presents...

RF Input-Quasi-Reflectionless Dispersive-Delay Structures Based on Complementary-Diplexer Circuits
PublicationA class of RF dispersive-delay structures (DDSs) with input-quasi-reflectionless behavior is reported. It is based on the exploitation of complementary-diplexer circuit networks, in which the out-of-band RF-input-power echoes reflected by the main bandpass-filter-(BPF)-type channel are dissipated by the resistively-terminated auxiliary bandstop-filter-(BSF)-type channel. Specifically, it is shown that the influence of the absorptive...

An Alternative Proof of a Lower Bound on the 2-Domination Number of a Tree
PublicationA 2-dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G such that every vertex not in D has a at least two neighbors in D. The 2-domination number of a graph G, denoted by gamma_2(G), is the minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set of G. Fink and Jacobson [n-domination in graphs, Graph theory with applications to algorithms and computer science, Wiley, New York, 1985, 283-300] established the following lower bound on the 2-domination...
