Abstract: One-shot devices, such as automotive airbags, fire extinguishers and ammunitions, pose significant challenges in their reliability analysis due to their inherently unobservable lifespans.

Shortest path algorithms sit at the heart of modern graph theory and many of the systems that move people, data, and goods around the world. After nearly seventy years of relying on the same classic ...

Abstract: The iterative hard thresholding (IHT) algorithm is widely used for recovering sparse signals in compressed sensing. Despite the development of numerous variants of this effective algorithm, ...
