On real-time systems running under timing constraints, scheduling can be performed when one is aware of the worst case execution time (WCET) of tasks. Usually, the WCET of a task is unknown and schedulers make use of safe over-approximations given by static WCET analysis. To reduce the over-approximation, WCET analysis has to gain information about the under

We present a versatile and fast MATLAB program (UmUTracker) that automatically detects and tracks particles by analyzing video sequences acquired by either light microscopy or digital in-line holographic microscopy. Our program detects the 2D lateral positions of particles with an algorithm based on the isosceles triangle transform, and reconstructs their 3D

In the present article, we discover a new well-behaved charged anisotropic solution of Einstein-Maxwell's field equations. We ansatz the metric potential $g_{00}$ of the form given by Maurya el al. (arXiv:1607.05582v1) with $n=2$. In their article it is mentioned that for $n=2$ the solution is not well-behaved for neutral configuration as the speed of so

Let $(G,μ)$ be a uniformly elliptic random conductance graph on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with a Poisson point process of particles at time $t=0$ that perform independent simple random walks. We show that inside a cube $Q_K$ of side length $K$, if all subcubes of side length $\ell<K$ inside $Q_K$ have sufficiently many particles, the particles return to stationarity af

We study two aspects of higher dimensional operators in standard model effective field theory. We first introduce a perturbative power counting rule for the entries in the anomalous dimension matrix of operators with equal mass dimension. The power counting is determined by the number of loops and the difference of the indices of the two operators involved,

Let $\mathbb{N}^{2}_{\leqslant}$ be the set $\mathbb{N}^{2}$ with the partial order defined as the product of usual order $\leq$ on the set of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. We study the semigroup $\mathscr{P\!O}\!_{\infty}(\mathbb{N}^2_{\leqslant})$ of monotone injective partial selfmaps of $\mathbb{N}^{2}_{\leqslant}$ having cofinite domain and image. We

This paper deals with the homogenization problem of one-dimensional pseudo-elliptic equations with a rapidly varying random potential. The main purpose is to characterize the homogenization error (random fluctuations), i.e., the difference between the random solution and the homogenized solution, which strongly depends on the autocovariance property of the u

We consider continuous and discrete Schrödinger systems with self-adjoint matrix potentials and with additional dependence on time (i.e., dynamical Schrödinger systems). Transformed and explicit solutions are constructed using our generalized (GBDT) version of the Bäcklund-Darboux transformation. Asymptotic expansions of these solutions in time are of intere

We consider tensor factorizations using a generative model and a Bayesian approach. We compute rigorously the mutual information, the Minimal Mean Squared Error (MMSE), and unveil information-theoretic phase transitions. In addition, we study the performance of Approximate Message Passing (AMP) and show that it achieves the MMSE for a large set of parameters

The low-temperature properties of certain quantum magnets can be described in terms of a Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of magnetic quasiparticles (triplons). Some mean-field approaches (MFA) to describe these systems, based on the standard grand canonical ensemble, do not take the anomalous density into account and leads to an internal inconsistency, as i

The naturalness of warps is gaining extensive attentions in image stitching. Recent warps such as SPHP and AANAP, use global similarity warps to mitigate projective distortion (which enlarges regions), however, they necessarily bring in perspective distortion (which generates inconsistencies). In this paper, we propose a novel quasi-homography warp, which ef

Intrinsic defects in optomechanical devices are generally viewed to be detrimental for achieving coherent amplification of phonons, and great care has thus been exercised in fabricating devices and materials with no (or a minimal number of) defects. Contrary to this view, here we show that, by surpassing an exceptional point (EP), both the mechanical gain an

We explore lattice structures on integer binary relations (i.e. binary relations on the set $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ for a fixed integer $n$) and on integer posets (i.e. partial orders on the set $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ for a fixed integer $n$). We first observe that the weak order on the symmetric group naturally extends to a lattice structure on all integer binar

A stochastic optimal control problem driven by an abstract evolution equation in a separable Hilbert space is considered. Thanks to the identification of the mild solution of the state equation as $ν$-weak Dirichlet process, the value processes is proved to be a real weak Dirichlet process.

Based upon a previous work of Manjunath and Sturmfels for a finite, complete, undirected graph, and a refined algorithm by Eröcal, Motsak, Schreyer and Steenpaß for computing syzygies, we display a free resolution of the lattice ideal associated to a finite, strongly connected, weighted, directed graph. Moreover, the resolution is minimal precisely when the

In a Bayesian inverse problem setting, the solution consists of a posterior measure obtained by combining prior belief, information about the forward operator, and noisy observational data. This measure is most often given in terms of a density with respect to a reference measure in a high-dimensional (or infinite-dimensional) Banach space. Although Monte Ca

The present article deals with the averaging principle for a two-time-scale system of jump-diffusion stochastic differential equation. Under suitable conditions, the weak error is expanded in powers of timescale parameter. It is proved that the rate of weak convergence to the averaged dynamics is of order $1$. This reveals the rate of weak convergence is ess

Most stars in the Galaxy are believed to be formed within star clusters from collapsing molecular clouds. However, the complete process of star formation, from the parent cloud to a gas-free star cluster, is still poorly understood.

A credal network under epistemic irrelevance is a generalised type of Bayesian network that relaxes its two main building blocks. On the one hand, the local probabilities are allowed to be partially specified. On the other hand, the assessments of independence do not have to hold exactly. Conceptually, these two features turn credal networks under epistemic

However, it typically suffers from proliferation of saddle points in the high-dimensional parameter space. Therefore, it is highly desirable to design an efficient algorithm to escape from thes

We present an experimental demonstration of converting a microwave field to an optical field via frequency mixing in a cloud of cold $^{87}$Rb atoms, where the microwave field strongly couples to an electric dipole transition between Rydberg states. We show that the conversion allows the phase information of the microwave field to be coherently transferred t

Related families of gentle $(m+1)$-Calabi-Yau tilted algebras are the $m$-cluster-tilted algebras of type $\mathbb{A}$ and $\widetilde{\mathbb{A}}$. For these algebras we prove that a mo

In this paper, we conduct performance evaluation for Ultra-Dense Networks (UDNs), and identify which modelling factors play major roles and minor roles. From our study, we draw the following conclusions. First, there are 3 factors/models that have a major impact on the performance of UDNs, and they should be considered when performing theoretical analyses: i

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labelled positive or negative. The sign of a circle (cycle, circuit) is the product of the signs of its edges. Most of the essential properties of a signed graph depend on the signs of its circles. Here I describe several questions regarding negative circles and their cousins the positive circles. Topics include inci

In order to analyze the fidelity susceptibility of non-relativistic field theories, which are important in condensed matter systems, we generalize the proposal to obtain the fidelity susceptibility holographically to Lifshitz geometries. It will be argued that this proposal can be used to study the fidelity susceptibility for various condensed matter systems

In a dissipative dynamic system driven by an oscillating force, a strong nonlinear highly oscillatory friction force can create a quasi-steady tug, which is always directed opposite to the ponderomotive force induced due to a spatial inhomogeneity of oscillations. When the friction-induced tug exceeds the ponderomotive force, the friction stabilizes the syst

We study the question of when geometric extension algebras are polynomial quasihereditary. Our main theorem is that under certain assumptions, a geometric extension algebra is polynomial quasihereditary if and only if it arises from an even resolution. We give an application to the construction of reflection functors for quiver Hecke algebras.

Homodyne measurement is a corner-stone of quantum optics. It measures the fundamental variables of quantum electrodynamics - the quadratures of light, which represent the cosine-wave and sine-wave components of an optical field and constitute the quantum optical analog of position and momentum.

In this article, we show that the function $t \mapsto \hat{h}_{E_t}(P_t)$ on $B(\overline{K})$ is the height induced from an adelically metrized line bun

The Seiberg-Witten equation with multiple spinors generalises the classical Seiberg-Witten equation in dimension three. In contrast to the classical case, the moduli space of solutions $\mathcal{M}$ can be non-compact due to the appearance of so-called Fueter sections. In the absence of Fueter sections we define a signed count of points in $\mathcal{M}$ and

We perform shape derivatives up to the second order to find out precise information about locally optimal configurations with respect to the torsional rigidity functional. In particular we analyse the role played by the configuration obtained

We show &#34;free theorems&#34; in the style of Wadler for polymorphic functions in homotopy type theory as consequences of the abstraction theorem. As an application, it follows that every space defined as a higher inductive type has the same homotopy groups as some type of polymorphic functions defined without univalence or higher inductive types.

Any quantum-confined electronic system coupled to the electromagnetic continuum is subject to radiative decay and renormalization of its energy levels. When coupled to a cavity, these quantities can be strongly modified with respect to their values in vacuum. Generally, this modification can be accurately captured by including only the closest resonant mode

We study the limiting behaviour of solutions to abelian vortex equations when the volume of the underlying Riemann surface grows to infinity. We prove that the solutions converge smoothly away from finitely many points. The proof relies on a priori estimates for functions satisfying generalised Kazdan-Warner equations.

We formulate the theory of shortcuts to adiabaticity in classical mechanics. For a reference Hamiltonian, the counterdiabatic term is constructed from the dispersionless Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy. Then the adiabatic theorem holds exactly for an arbitrary choice of time-dependent parameters. We use the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to define the generalized

Because of their quantum fluctuations, axion fields had a chance to experience field excursions traversing many minima of their potentials during inflation.

We describe the design and implementation of an extremely scalable real-time RFI mitigation method, based on the offline AOFlagger. All algorithms scale linearly in the number of samples. We describe how we implemented the flagger in the LOFAR real-time pipeline, on both CPUs and GPUs. Additionally, we introduce a novel simple history-based flagger that help

We present a new result about the shadowing of nontransversal chain of heteroclinic connections based on the idea of dropping dimensions. We illustrate this new mechanism with several examples. As an application we discuss this mechanism in a simplification of a toy model system derived by Colliander et al. in the context of cubic defocusing nonlinear Schröd

We develop the theory of Riemann-Hilbert problems necessary for the results in part one of this series of papers. In particular, we obtain solutions for a family of non-linear Riemann-Hilbert problems through classical contraction principles and saddle-point estimates. We use compactness arguments to obtain the required smoothness property on solutions. We a

Maintenance of association rules is an interesting problem. Several incremental maintenance algorithms were proposed since the work of (Cheung et al, 1996). The majority of these algorithms maintain rule bases assuming that support threshold doesn&#39;t change. In this paper, we present incremental maintenance algorithm under support threshold change. This s

Since formulation of Inductive Database (IDB) problem, several Data Mining (DM) languages have been proposed, confirming that KDD process could be supported via inductive queries (IQ) answering. This paper reviews the existing DM languages. We are presenting important primitives of the DM language and classifying our languages according to primitives&#39; sa

In 2009 Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke presented a new construction of hyperkähler metrics on the total spaces of certain complex integrable systems, represented as a torus fibration $\mathcal{M}$ over a base space $\mathcal{B}$, except for a divisor $D$ in $\mathcal{B}$, in which the torus fiber degenerates into a nodal torus. The hyperkähler metric $g$ is obta
