    Latency is inherent in almost all real-world networked applications. In this paper, we propose a distributed allocation strategy over multi-agent networks with delayed communications. The state of each agent (or node) represents its share of assigned resources out of a fixed amount (equal to overall demand). Every node locally updates its state toward optimi

    We develop a classical picture of interference for non-interacting individual classical massive free particles. As long as they remain undetected, particles carry the information of a phase equal to an action integral along their trajectory. At the point of their detection, a special type of detector collects the phases from all individual particles reaching

    The quark-antiquark potentials are known to be confining in the absence of the $\bar{q}q$ pair creation. On the other hand, the inter-hadron potentials vanish at large distance, because the interaction range is limited by the inverse pion mass. When the $\bar{q}q$ pair creation and annihilation are switched on, the channel coupling occurs between the quark a

    Multi-user delay constrained scheduling is important in many real-world applications including wireless communication, live streaming, and cloud computing. Yet, it poses a critical challenge since the scheduler needs to make real-time decisions to guarantee the delay and resource constraints simultaneously without prior information of system dynamics, which

    Representation learning on temporal graphs has drawn considerable research attention owing to its fundamental importance in a wide spectrum of real-world applications. Though a number of studies succeed in obtaining time-dependent representations, it still faces significant challenges. On the one hand, most of the existing methods restrict the embedding spac

    In ridepooling systems with electric fleets, charging is a complex decision-making process. Most electric vehicle (EV) taxi services require drivers to make egoistic decisions, leading to decentralized ad-hoc charging strategies. The current state of the mobility system is often lacking or not shared between vehicles, making it impossible to make a system-op

    One of the most useful and correct methodological approaches in bibliometrics is ranking. In the context of highly skewed bibliometric distributions and severe distortions caused by outliers, it is often the preferable way of analysis. Ranking methodology strictly implies that "oranges should be compared with oranges, apples with apples". We should make a "l

    The chips contained in any electronic device are manufactured over circular silicon wafers, which are monitored by inspection machines at different production stages. Inspection machines detect and locate any defect within the wafer and return a Wafer Defect Map (WDM), i.e., a list of the coordinates where defects lie, which can be considered a huge, sparse,

    We extend the speed limit of a distance between two states evolving by different generators for quantum systems [K. Suzuki and K. Takahashi, Phys. Rev. Res. 2, 032016(R) (2020)] to the classical stochastic processes described by the master equation. We demonstrate that the trace distance between arbitrary evolving states is bounded from above by using a geom

    The main purpose of this paper is to propose a variance-based Bregman extragradient algorithm with line search for solving stochastic variational inequalities, which is robust with respect an unknown Lipschitz constant. We prove the almost sure convergence of the algorithm by a more concise and effective method instead of using the supermartingale convergenc

    The spatial discretization of convective terms in compressible flow equations is studied from an abstract viewpoint, for finite-difference methods and finite-volume type formulations with cell-centered numerical fluxes. General conditions are sought for the local and global conservation of primary (mass and momentum) and secondary (kinetic energy) invariants

    In this paper, we study bounds on the minimum length of $(k,n,d)$-superimposed codes introduced by Agarwal et al. [1], in the context of Non-Adaptive Group Testing algorithms with runlength constraints. A $(k,n,d)$-superimposed code of length $t$ is a $t \times n$ binary matrix such that any two 1's in each column are separated by a run of at least $d$ 0's,

    In this paper, we study affine Deligne--Lusztig varieties $X_w(b)$ when the finite part of the element $w$ in the Iwahori--Weyl group is a partial $\sigma$-Coxeter element. We show that such $w$ is a cordial element and $X_w(b) \neq \emptyset$ if and only if $b$ satisfies a certain Hodge--Newton indecomposability condition. The main result of this paper is t

    Many fundamental properties of a quantum system are captured by its Hamiltonian and ground state. Despite the significance of ground states preparation (GSP), this task is classically intractable for large-scale Hamiltonians. Quantum neural networks (QNNs), which exert the power of modern quantum machines, have emerged as a leading protocol to conquer this i

    We consider the resonant Casimir-Polder interaction of an excited alkali-type atom which has a single (electric dipole) transition with a Chern insulator. The Chern insulator has a nonzero, time reversal symmetry breaking Hall conductance, leading to an additional contribution to the resonant Casimir-Polder interaction which depends on the coupling between t

    The bubble size distribution is a summary statistics that can be computed from the observed 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization. As it depends only on the ionization field and is not limited to gaussian information, it is an interesting probe, complementary to the power spectrum of the full 21-cm signal.

    In this work, we investigate the spectra of the prospective tetracharm and tetrabottom baryonium, viz. the baryon-antibaryon states, in the framework of QCD sum rules. The non-perturbative contributions up to dimension 10 are taken into account. Numerical results indicate that there might exist 4 possible tetracharm baryonium states with masses $(7.33\pm0.12

    Mendelian randomization (MR) is a natural experimental design based on the random transmission of genes from parents to offspring. However, this inferential basis is typically only implicit or used as an informal justification. As parent-offspring data becomes more widely available, we advocate a different approach to MR that is exactly based on this natural

    A well-known precursor of an imminent solar eruption is the appearance of a hot S-shaped loop, also known as sigmoid, in an active region (AR). Classically, the formation of such an S-shaped loop is envisaged to be implemented by magnetic reconnection of two oppositely oriented J-shaped loops. However, the details of reconnection are elusive due to weak emis

    We show that previous correspondence between some (integrable) statistical field theory quantities and periods of $SU(2)$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ deformed gauge theory still holds if we add $N_f=1,2$ flavours of matter. Moreover, the correspondence entails a new non-perturbative solution to the theory. Eventually, we use this solution to give exact results on quasin

    We present a set of peculiar radio sources detected using an unsupervised machine learning method. We use data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope to train a self-organizing map (SOM). The radio maps from three ASKAP surveys, Evolutionary Map of Universe pilot survey (EMU-PS), Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins pilo

    Principle of information causality, proposed as a generalization of no signaling principle, has efficiently been applied to outcast beyond quantum correlations as unphysical. In this letter we show that this principle when utilized properly can provide physical rationale towards structural derivation of multipartite quantum systems. In accordance with no sig

    The Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability theorem is one of the most widely used theorems in extremal graph theory. We obtain an Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits type stability theorem in multi-partite graphs. Different from the Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability theorem, our stability theorem in multi-partite graphs says that if the number of edges of an $H$-free graph $G$ is clo

    Elucidating and accurately predicting the druggability and bioactivities of molecules plays a pivotal role in drug design and discovery and remains an open challenge. Recently, graph neural networks (GNN) have made remarkable advancements in graph-based molecular property prediction. However, current graph-based deep learning methods neglect the hierarchical

    Tin Selenide (SnSe) thin films were grown onto glass and alumina substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method. The structural, micro-structural and morphological characterizations of the as grown thin films were investigated using XRD, SEM and Raman spectroscopy which reveals that the films on glass are phase pure oriented SnSe while those on Alumina

    The rarefied flow and multi-scale flow are crucial for the aerodynamic design of spacecraft, ultra-low orbital vehicles and plumes. By introducing a discrete velocity space, the discrete velocity method (DVM) and unified methods can capture complex and non-equilibrium distribution functions and describe flow behaviors exactly. The unified methods predict flo

    We apply the tensor renormalization group method to the (1+1)-dimensional SU(2) principal chiral model at finite chemical potential with the use of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature to discretize the SU(2) Lie group. The internal energy at vanishing chemical potential $\mu=0$ shows good consistency with the prediction of the strong and weak coupling expansions.

    We present a general setting where wavelet filters and multiresolution decompositions can be defined, beyond the classical $\mathbf L^2(\mathbb R,dx)$ setting. This is done in a framework of {\em iterated function system} (IFS) measures; these include all cases studied so far, and in particular the Julia set/measure cases. Every IFS has a fixed order, say $N

    We construct the integral transform passing from the space representation to the momentum representation for the Hydrogen atom using polar spherical coordinates. The resulting radial wave functions are explicitly given in terms of complex finite expansions of Gegenbauer functions of the first and second kind, or in terms of (elementary) trigonometric functio

    Applying functional differentiation to the density field with Newtonian gravity, we obtain the static, nonlinear equation of the three-point correlation function $\zeta$ of galaxies, to the third order density perturbations. We make the equation closed and perform renormalization of the mass and the Jeans wavenumber. Using the boundary condition inferred fro

    Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense bursts of high-energy photons (prompt emissions) caused by relativistic jets. After the emissions, multi-wavelength afterglows, from radio to very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray, last for more than a few days. In the past three years, the VHE gamma-ray photons from four GRBs (GRBs 180720B, 190114C, 190829A and 201216C) were d

    Source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (SFUDA) aims to learn a target domain model using unlabeled target data and the knowledge of a well-trained source domain model. Most previous SFUDA works focus on inferring semantics of target data based on the source knowledge. Without measuring the transferability of the source knowledge, these methods insufficie

    As global cellular networks converge to 5G, one question lingers: Are we ready for the 5G challenge? A growing concern surrounds how well do existing congestion control algorithms perform in diverse 5G networks. Given that 5G networks are not yet widely deployed, assessing the performance of existing congestion control algorithms in realistic 5G settings pre

    The magnetic field governs the corona; hence it is a crucial parameter to measure. Unfortunately, existing techniques for estimating its strength are limited by strong assumptions and limitations. These techniques include photospheric or chromospheric field extrapolation using potential or non-linear-force-free methods, estimates based on coronal seismology,
