Three ideas are introduced that when brought together characterize the realistic quasiclassical realms of our quantum universe as particular kinds of sets of alternative coarse-grained histories defined by quasiclassical variables: (1) Branch dependent adaptive coarse grainings that can be close to maximally refined and can simplify calculation. (2) Narrativ

Let Q be a connected directed quiver with n vertices. We show that Q is representation-infinite if and only if there do exist n isomorphism classes of exceptional modules of some fixed length at least 2.

This paper considers the containment control problem for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics and multiple leaders whose control inputs are possibly nonzero and time varying. Based on the relative states of neighboring agents, a distributed static continuous controller is designed, under which the containment error is uniformly ultimately bounded

This technical note studies the distributed average tracking problem for multiple time-varying signals with general linear dynamics, whose reference inputs are nonzero and not available to any agent in the network. In distributed fashion, a pair of continuous algorithms with, respectively, static and adaptive coupling strengths are designed. Based on the bou

A CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is an automatic security mechanism used to determine whether the user is a human or a malicious computer program. It is a program that generates and grades tests that are human solvable, but intends to be beyond the capabilities of current computer programs. CAPTCHA should

IEEE specifies different modulation techniques for WiMAX; namely, BPSK, QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM. This paper studies the performance of Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) over Fixed WiMAX system considering different combinations of digital modulation. The performance is studied taking into account a number of key system parameters which include the variatio

We here provide a distribution-free approach to the random factor analysis model. We show that it leads to the same estimating equations as for the classical ML estimates under normality, but more easily derived, and valid also in the case of more variables than observations ($p>n$). For this case we also advocate a simple iteration method. In an illustratio

The discovery, representation and reconstruction of Business Networks (BN) from Network Mining (NM) raw data is a difficult problem for enterprises. This is due to huge amounts of e.g. complex business processes within and across enterprise boundaries, heterogeneous technology stacks, and fragmented data. To remain competitive, visibility into the enterprise

Service systems are labor intensive due to the large variation in the tasks required to address service requests from multiple customers. Aligning the staffing levels to the forecasted workloads adaptively in such systems is nontrivial because of a large number of parameters and operational variations leading to a huge search space.

We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analysing the rules for phyllotactic indices of related structures and the variation of the density for line-slip structures, close to the symmetric ones. We show that rhombic structures, which are of a lo

We consider $n$-component fixed-length order parameter interacting with a weak random field in $d=1,2,3$ dimensions. Relaxation from the initially ordered state and spin-spin correlation functions have been studied on lattices containing hundreds of millions sites. At $n-1<d$ presence of topological structures leads to metastability, with the final state dep

One of the most questionable issues in wetting is the vertical force balance that is excluded in Young&#39;s law. On soft deformable solids, such as biotic materials and synthetic polymers, the vertical force of liquid leads to a microscopic protrusion of the contact line, i.e. a &#34;wetting ridge&#34;.

The model of coherent quadrupole and octupole motion (CQOM) is applied to describe non-yrast split parity-doublet spectra in odd-mass nuclei. The yrast levels are described as low-energy rotation-vibration modes coupled to the ground single-particle (s.p.) state, while the non-yrast parity-doublet structures are obtained as higher-energy rotation-vibration m

A subgroup $G\subset Diff^1_+([0,1])$ is $C^1$-close to the identity if there is a sequence $h_n\in Diff^1_+([0,1])$ such that the conjugates $h_n g h_n^{-1}$ tend to the identity for the $C^1$-topology, for every $g\in G$. This is equivalent to the fact that $G$ can be embedded in the $C^1$-centralizer of a $C^1$-contraction of $[0,+\infty)$ (see [Fa] and T

We propose a technique to improve the search efficiency of the bag-of-words (BoW) method for image retrieval. We introduce a notion of difficulty for the image matching problems and propose methods that reduce the amount of computations required for the feature vector-quantization task in BoW by exploiting the fact that easier queries need less computational

We consider local unitary invariants and entanglement monotones for the mixed two qutrit system. Character methods for the local SU(3)xSU(3) transformation group are used to establish the count of algebraically independent polynomial invariants up to degree 5 in the components of the density operator. These are identified up to quartic degree in the standard

Using density functional calculations, we demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the Ir4+ ion plays an essential role in determining the antiferromagnetism of the hexagonal spin-chain system Sr3MIrO6 (M = Ni, Co) by tuning the crystal-field level sequence and altering the Ir-M inter-orbital interactions. The SOC splits the e&#39;_{g} doublet of th

In 1988, I. Beck introduced the notion of a zero-divisor graph of a commutative rings with $1$. There have been several generalizations in recent years. In particular, in 2007 J. Coykendall and J.

For an arbitrary set of distances $D\subseteq \{0,1, \ldots, diam(G)\}$, a $D$-weight of a vertex $x$ in a graph $G$ under a vertex labeling $f:V\rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots , v\}$ is defined as $w_D(x)=\sum_{y\in N_D(x)} f(y)$, where $N_D(x) = \{y \in V| d(x,y) \in D\}$. A graph $G$ is said to be $D$-distance magic if all vertices has the same $D$-vertex-weigh

In this Letter we consider the problem of screening of external charge in graphene from the cyclic RG flow viewpoint. The analogy with conformal Calogero model is used to suggest the interpretation of the tower of resonant states as tower of Efimov states.

This is a remark that by using an adaptation of the technique invented by A. Kiselev, F. Nazarov, and A.

The inverse source problem where an unknown source is to be identified from the knowledge of its radiated wave is studied. The focus is placed on the effect that multi-frequency data has on establishing uniqueness. In particular, it is shown that data obtained from finitely many frequencies is not sufficient. On the other hand, if the frequency varies within

In this paper, we classify the class of constant weighted curvature curves in the plane with a log-linear density, or in other words, classify all traveling curved fronts with a constant forcing term in $\Bbb R^2.$ The classification gives some interesting phenomena and consequences including: the family of curves converge to a round point when the weighted

This paper considers the distributed consensus problem of linear multi-agent systems subject to different matching uncertainties for both the cases without and with a leader of bounded unknown control input. Due to the existence of nonidentical uncertainties, the multi-agent systems discussed in this paper are essentially heterogeneous. For the case where th

Interactions between proteins are hard to decipher. Protein-protein interactions are difficult problem to address because they are not based on differences in charge type like protein-DNA or protein-lipid interactions.

Data quality and data cleaning are context dependent activities. Starting from this observation, in previous work a context model for the assessment of the quality of a database instance was proposed. In that framework, the context takes the form of a possibly virtual database or data integration system into which a database instance under quality assessment

We study some properties of a recently proposed local Lorentz Violating Finsler geometry, the so-called Bipartite space. This anisotropic structure deforms the causal null surface to an elliptic cone and provides an anisotropy to the inertia. The modified dispersion relations and the geodesic equation for a massive particle are studied. For a weak directiona

The notion of regular cell complexes plays a central role in topological combinatorics because of its close relationship with posets. A generalization, called totally normal cellular stratified spaces, was introduced by the third author by relaxing two conditions; face posets are replaced by acyclic categories and cells with incomplete boundaries are allowed

Aimed to a deeper comprehension of a manifestly T-dual invariant formulation of string theory, in this paper a detailed comparison between the non-covariant action proposed by Tseytlin and the covariant one proposed by Hull is done. These are obtained by making both the string coordinates and their duals explicitly appear, on the same foot, in the world-shee

We propose a randomized version of the non-local means (NLM) algorithm for large-scale image filtering. The new algorithm, called Monte Carlo non-local means (MCNLM), speeds up the classical NLM by computing a small subset of image patch distances, which are randomly selected according to a designed sampling pattern. We make two contributions. First, we anal

Numerical modelling of convection driven dynamos in the Boussinesq approximation revealed fundamental characteristics of the dynamo-generated magnetic fields and the fluid flow. Because these results were obtained for an incompressible fluid, their validity for gas planets and stars remains to be assessed. A common approach is to take some density stratifica

We construct a gedanken experiment in which an extremal Kerr black hole interacts with a test electromagnetic field. Using Teukolsky&#39;s solutions for electromagnetic perturbations in Kerr spacetime, and the conservation laws imposed by the energy momentum tensor of the electromagnetic field and the Killing vectors of the spacetime, we prove that this inte

We consider $n$ risk-averse agents who compete for liquidity in an Almgren--Chriss market impact model. Mathematically, this situation can be described by a Nash equilibrium for a certain linear-quadratic differential game with state constraints. The state constraints enter the problem as terminal boundary conditions for finite and infinite time horizons. We

What properties of a game determine whether it has such negative &#34;value of information&#34; for a particular player? Can a game have negative value of information for all players?

We discuss a new perspective on Khovanov homology, using categorifications of tensor products. While in many ways more technically demanding than Khovanov&#39;s approach (and its extension by Bar-Natan), this has distinct advantage of directly connecting Khovanov homology to a categorification of \$(\mathbb{C}^2)^{\otimes \ell}\$, and admitting a direct gene

We address the question of whether the quantum-mechanical wave function $Ψ$ of a system is uniquely determined by any complete description $Λ$ of the system&#39;s physical state. We show that this is the case if the latter satisfies a notion of &#34;free choice&#34;. This notion requires that certain experimental parameters---those that according to quantum

In this work, we examine the sensitivity of monojet searches at the LHC to directly produced charginos and neutralinos (electroweakinos) in the limit of small mass splitting, where the traditional multilepton plus missing energy searches loose their sensitivity.

We compute analytically the multi-particle eccentricities, ε_m {2n}, for systems dominated by fluctuations, such as proton-nucleus collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we derive a general relation for <ε_2^{2n}>. We further discuss the relations between various multi-particle eccentricities and demonstrate that ε_2{2} > ε_2{4} \simeq ε_2{6

In 1848, Hermite introduced a reduction theory for binary forms of degree $n$ which was developed more fully in the seminal 1917 treatise of Julia. This canonical method of reduction made use of a new, fundamental, but irrational $\mathrm{SL}_2$-invariant of binary $n$-ic forms defined over $\mathbb{R}$, which is now known as the Julia invariant.

We introduce the notion of a symplectic capacity relative to a coisotropic submanifold of a symplectic manifold, and we construct two examples of such capacities through modifications of the Hofer-Zehnder capacity. As a consequence, we obtain a non-squeezing theorem for symplectic embeddings relative to coisotropic constraints and existence results for leafw

In 1971 Trotter conjectured that every finite poset on at least $3$ points has a pair whose removal does not decrease the dimension by more than $1$. In 1992 Brightwell and Scheinerman introduced fractional dimension of posets, and they made a similar conjecture for fractional dimension. This paper settles this latter conjecture.

We are concerned with the problem of detecting with high probability whether a wave function has collapsed or not, in the following framework: A quantum system with a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space is initially in state $ψ$; with probability $0<p<1$, the state collapses relative to the orthonormal basis $b_1,...,b_d$. That is, the final state $ψ&#39;$ is rand

It is well known that a particle cannot freely share entanglement with two or more particles. This restriction is generally called monogamy. However the formal quantification of such restriction is only known for some measures of entanglement and for two-level systems.

The notion of metric entropy dimension is introduced to measure the complexity of entropy zero dynamical systems. For measure preserving systems, we define entropy dimension via the dimension of entropy generating sequences. This combinatorial approach provides us with a new insight to analyze the entropy zero systems. We also define the dimension set of a s

The garden hose complexity is a new communication complexity introduced by H. Buhrman, S. Fehr, C. Schaffner and F. Speelman [BFSS13] to analyze position-based cryptography protocols in the quantum setting. We focus on the garden hose complexity of the equality function, and improve on the bounds of O. Margalit and A. Matsliah[MM12] with the help of a new ap

In many applications concerning the comparison of data expressed by $\mathbb{R}^m$-valued functions defined on a topological space $X$, the invariance with respect to a given group $G$ of self-homeomorphisms of $X$ is required. While persistent homology is quite efficient in the topological and qualitative comparison of this kind of data when the invariance

The boundary conditions on multiply connected extra dimensions play major rolls in gauge-Higgs unification theory. Different boundary conditions, having been given in ad hoc manner so far, lead to different theories. To solve this arbitrariness problem of boundary conditions, we construct a formulation of gauge-Higgs unification with dynamics of boundary con

We generalize some classical results on Chow group of an abelian variety to semiabelian varieties and to motivic (co)homology, using a result of Ancona--Enright-Ward--Huber on a decomposition of the motive of a semiabelian variety in the Voevodsky&#39;s category.

In Science, Reshef et al. (2011) proposed the concept of equitability for measures of dependence between two random variables. To this end, they proposed a novel measure, the maximal information coefficient (MIC). Recently a PNAS paper (Kinney and Atwal, 2014) gave a mathematical definition for equitability. They proved that MIC in fact is not equitable, whi

Extra scalar fields are common in beyond Standard Model (SM) new physics, and they may mix with the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson discovered at the LHC. This fact suggests possible discovery channels for these new scalar fields with their decay modes involving the 125 GeV Higgs boson. In this work, we explore the LHC search potential of the heavy CP-even Higgs

The previous functional analytic construction of the fermionic projector on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds is extended to space-times of infinite lifetime. The construction is based on an analysis of families of solutions of the Dirac equation with a varying mass parameter. It makes use of the so-called mass oscillation property which implies that
