Some phases are rather short. Fast learning, for example, is associated with frequent changes of strategies. They possess a number of desired properties, not satisfied by procedures proposed in the earlier literature. One of them is distribution-consistency. Unlike the traditional concept of consistency, it implies convergence of change-point estimators to the corresponding parameters as the magnitude of a change tends to infinity.
Traffic engineering is a fundamental area in telecommunication network analysis and design.
An important general goal of traffic engineering is to find methods for the dimensioning of various network resources, such that the whole system meets the required performance criteria in such that the whole system meets the required performance criteria in serving the randomly fluctuating traffic demand at reasonable cost. Traffic engineering issues lead to interesting mathematical models and problems. In this presentation we focus on the issue of how to capture the network level behavior in a mathematical model when various flows of traffic require different sets and amounts of resources and their interaction may generate complicated dependencies in the availability of the resources. Knots and links can be built from 2-string tangles. The formula also outputs all possible diagrams in which such a move can be observed.
