This research aims to improve the efficiency in estimating the Hurst exponent in financial time series. A new procedure is developed based on equality in distribution and is applicable to the estimation methods of the Hurst exponent. We show how to use this new procedure with three of the most...

Power efficiency is one of the major considerations in the current hardware/software co-designs. This paper models hardware/software partitioning as an optimization problem with objective of minimizing power consumption under the constraints: hardware area A and execution time E. An efficient...

The existing literature identifies patent thickets indirectly. In this paper we propose a novel measure based on patent citations which allows us to measure the density of patent thickets directly. We discuss the algorithm which generates the measure and present descriptive results validating...
