Optimizing the beacon exchange rate for proactive autonomic configuration in ubiquitous MANETs
Proactive self-configuration is indispensable for MANETs like ubiquitous sensor networks (USNs), as component devices of the network are usually exposed to natural or man-made disasters due to the hostile deployment and ad hoc nature of the USNs. Network state beacons (NSBs) are exchanged among the key nodes of the network for crucial and effective monitoring of the network for steady state operation. The rate of beacon exchange (F/sub E/) and its contents, define the time and nature of the proactive action. Therefore it is very important to optimize these parameters to tune the functional response of the USN. This paper presents a comprehensive model for monitoring and proactively reconfiguring the network by optimizing the F/sub E/. The results confirm the improved throughput while maintaining QoS over longer periods of network operation
Distributed and Load-Adaptive Self Configuration in Sensor Networks
Proactive self-configuration is crucial for MANETs such as sensor networks, as these are often deployed in hostile environments and are ad hoc in nature. The dynamic architecture of the network is monitored by exchanging so-called Network State Beacons (NSBs) between key network nodes. The Beacon Exchange rate and the network state define both the time and nature of a proactive action to combat network performance degradation at a time of crisis. It is thus essential to optimize these parameters for the dynamic load profile of the network. This paper presents a novel distributed adaptive optimization Beacon Exchange selection model which considers distributed network load for energy efficient monitoring and proactive reconfiguration of the network. The results show an improvement of 70% in throughput, while maintaining a guaranteed quality-of- service for a small control-traffic overhead

Simulation of continuous variable quantum games without entanglement
A simulation scheme of quantum version of Cournot's Duopoly is proposed, in
which there is a new Nash equilibrium that may be also Pareto optimal without
any entanglement involved. The unique property of this simulation scheme is
decoherence-free against the symmetric photon loss. Furthermore, we analyze the
effects of the asymmetric information on this simulation scheme and investigate
the case of asymmetric game caused by asymmetric photon loss. A second-order
phase transition-like behavior of the average profits of the firm 1 and firm 2
in Nash equilibrium can be observed with the change of the degree of asymmetry
of the information or the degree of "virtual cooperation". It is also found
that asymmetric photon loss in this simulation scheme plays a similar role with
the asymmetric entangled states in the quantum game.

On certain equations of arbitrary length over torsion-free groups
Let be a non-trivial torsion free group and be an unknown. In this
paper we consider three equations (over ) of arbitrary length and show that
they have a solution (over ) provided two relations among their coefficients
hold. Such equations appear for all lengths greater than or equal to eight and
the results presented in this article can substantially simplify their
solution.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1903.0650
The Refined Topological Vertex
We define a refined topological vertex which depends in addition on a
parameter, which physically corresponds to extending the self-dual graviphoton
field strength to a more general configuration. Using this refined topological
vertex we compute, using geometric engineering, a two-parameter (equivariant)
instanton expansion of gauge theories which reproduce the results of Nekrasov.
The refined vertex is also expected to be related to Khovanov knot invariants.Comment: 70 Pages, 23 Figure
