We deal with a natural integer-linear programming formulation of the routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) problem in elastic optical networks. We focus on strengthening the formulation with valid inequalities (cuts). For this purpose we apply clique inequalities that proved to be useful in other applications of this kind. We develop and combine a clique cut generation procedure with a column gene

It has been predicted theoretically that for some environments, the capacity of wireless MIMO systems can become very low, even for uncorrelated signals; this effect has been termed "keyhole" or "pinhole". We present the first unique measurements of this effect. The measurements were performed in a controlled indoor environment that was designed to obtain a keyhole. We analyze the limitations for
