Product Description: Techniques and principles of minimax theory play a key role in many areas of research, including game theory, optimization, and computational complexity. In general, a minimax problem can be formulated as min max f(x, y) (1) ",EX !lEY where f(x, y) is a function defined on the product of X and Y spaces...read more

Product Description: The switching net.work is an important. classic research area in t.ele- communication and comput.er net.works. It.s import.ancc st.ems from both theory and practice. In fact, some open problems, such as Benes conjec- ture on shuffle-exchange networks and Chung-Rmis conjecture on multi- rate rearrangeability, still attract many researchers and the further de- velopment in optical networks requires advanced technology in optical switching networks...read more

Product Description: With the rapid growth of bandwidth demand from network users and the advances in optical technologies, optical networks with multiterabits­ per-second capacity has received significant interest from both researchers and practitioners...read more

Product Description: Wireless networking enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols without network cables. Since their emergence in the 1970s, wireless networks have become increasingly pop­ ular in the computing industry...read more
