Stochastic learning automata-based channel selection in cognitive radio/dynamic spectrum access for WiMAX networks
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
This paper proposes a cognitive radio-based dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for secondary users in a cluster-based WiMAX network. It uses a learning automata-based algorithm to find the optimal transmission channel, ...
Second law analysis of compressible flow through a diffuser subjected to constant wall temperature
(
Inderscience
, 2010 , Article)
This study presents the investigation of entropy generation in compressible turbulent flow of air through a diffuser. Constant temperature boundary condition is applied at the wall. Two-dimensional solution of velocity and ...
Weak and strong convergence theorems without some widely used conditions
(
Academic Publications, Ltd.
, 2010 , Article)
We establish weak (strong) convergence of Ishikawa iterates of two asymptotically (quasi-)nonexpansive maps without any condition on the rate of convergence associated with the two maps. Moreover, our weak convergence ...
