  • MFCS - Competitive Analysis of On-line Stream Merging Algorithms
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2002
    Co-Authors: Wun-tat Chan, Hing-fung Ting, Prudence W. H. Wong
    Abstract:

    A popular approach to reduce the server Bandwidth in a video-on-demand system is to merge the streams initiated at different times. In recent years, a number of on-line algorithms for stream merging have been proposed; the objective is to minimize either the total Bandwidth or the Maximum Bandwidth over all time. The performance of these algorithms was better understood with respect to the first objective. In particular, the connector algorithm [9] is known to be O(1)- competitive, and the dyadic algorithm [12] is known to have an almost tight bounds on its average total Bandwidth requirement. For minimizing Maximum Bandwidth, existing results are limited to empirical studies only and no algorithm has been known to be competitive. The main contribution of this paper is the first competitive analysis of the connector and the dyadic algorithms with respect to the Maximum Bandwidth, showing that both algorithms are 4-competitive. We also give a worstcase analysis of the dyadic algorithm with respect to the total Bandwidth, revealing that the dyadic algorithm can be tuned to be 3-competitive.

  • Quantum capture limited modulation Bandwidth of quantum well, wire, and dot lasers
    Applied Physics Letters, 1993
    Co-Authors: Sidney C. Kan, Dan Vassilovski, Kam Y. Lau
    Abstract:

    We investigate the quantum capture limited modulation Bandwidths of various lower‐dimensional semiconductor lasers. It is shown that, for buried quantum well, wire, and dot lasers, the Maximum Bandwidth is proportional to the packing density of the active region. For the quantum wire lasers grown on V‐grooved substrates, the Maximum Bandwidth is enhanced by the precapture of carriers from three‐dimensional states to two‐dimensional states before the capture into the one‐dimensional states.
