Doctoral Theses

Many real-life applications such as image processing, weather forecasting, digital signal processing, etc., require large amount of computations. By distributing the task among several processors, one can appreciably reduce the computation time. To solve complex problems, several computer architectures using multiple processors have been introduced. Recent developments in IC technology have made it economically feasible to construct multiple processor systems consisting of hundreds or thousands of processors.There are two types of multiprocessor systems (PS87). One is tightly coupled, where the processors share a common clock and/or memory. The other is loosely coupled, where each processor runs independently with a local …

Communication Games, Kimberly I. Noonan

Honors Theses

A communication game combines traditional n-person game theory with graph theory. The result is a model of a bargaining situation where communication is restricted. The game's multilinear extension (MLE), a polynomial that summarizes the solutions of the game, is well known for the case where the graph is a tree or simple cycle. This paper simplifies the computation of MLE of the communication game in the case when the graph is a series of simple cycles. The results are then applied to studying the power of each Canadian province in passing an amendment to the constitution, taking geographic location into …
