Certification of Bottleneck Task Assignment With Shortest Path Criteria

Minimising the longest travel distance for a group of mobile robots with interchangeable goals requires knowledge of the shortest length paths between all robots and goal destinations. Determining the exact length of the shortest paths in an environment wi ...

Wideband integrated bioaerosol sensor (WIBS) excited, fluorescent, and hyper-fluorescent particle number concentrations and normalized size distributions (dN/dlogDp) measured in the Swiss container during MOSAiC 2019/2020

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Alireza Moallemi, Margarida Teles Nogueira Rolo

These datasets contain the total particle number concentrations and normalized size distributions (dN/dlogDp) of excited, fluorescent, and hyper-fluorescent particles of sizes 0.5 to 20 μm (optical diameter). The normalized size distribution datasets are s ...

Optimal Matching of Random Parts

Thomas Alois Weber

This paper examines the minimization of the cost for an expected random production output, given an assembly of finished goods from two random inputs, matched in two categories. We describe the optimal input portfolio, first using the standard normal appro ...

Level statistics of the one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model

Andreas Martin Läuchli Herzig

In this paper we analyze the spectral level statistics of the one-dimensional ionic Hubbard model, the Hubbard model with an alternating on-site potential. In particular, we focus on the statistics of the gap ratios between consecutive energy levels. This ...

Sifting through the Noise: Universal First-Order Methods for Stochastic Variational Inequalities

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos, Thomas Michaelsen Pethick, Ali Kavis

We examine a flexible algorithmic framework for solving monotone variational inequalities in the presence of randomness and uncertainty. The proposed template encompasses a wide range of popular first-order methods, including dual averaging, dual extrapola ...

A Current Propagation Type Return Stroke Model Consistent with the Leader Charge Distribution

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

We describe a current propagation type return stroke model which is consistent with the estimated distribution of the charge on the leader channel. The model takes into account the dispersion of the return stroke current along the return stroke channel. Th ...

Unbiased Monte Carlo cluster updates with autoregressive neural networks

Giuseppe Carleo, Riccardo Rossi, Dian Wu

Efficient sampling of complex high-dimensional probability distributions is a central task in computational science. Machine learning methods like autoregressive neural networks, used with Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling, provide good approximations to s ...

Fast ion transport phenomena in turbulent toroidal plasmas

Fabian Manke

In the field of plasma physics, suprathermal ions are encountered e.g. in astrophysical jets, the solar wind, as well as fusion plasmas, where they originate from neutral beam injection or fusion reactions. One aspect of shared interest with astrophysical ...

A new spatial count data model with Bayesian additive regression trees for accident hot spot identification

Prateek Bansal, Rico Krüger

The identification of accident hot spots is a central task of road safety management. Bayesian count data models have emerged as the workhorse method for producing probabilistic rankings of hazardous sites in road networks. Typically, these methods assume ...

Compression testing spherical particles for strength: Theory of the meridian crack test and implementation for microscopic fused quartz

Andreas Mortensen, Goran Zagar, Raphaël Charvet, Cyril Dénéréaz, Václav Pejchal

We show that uniaxial compression testing of spherical particles can give unambiguous access to their tensile strength as governed by surface flaws if one uses pairs of elasto-plastic platens, tailoring their hardness in order to control the relative area ...

Kinematics of age mixing in advection-dispersion models

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Gianluca Botter

This paper investigates age mixing processes arising in advection-dispersion models, where large-scale travel and residence time distributions can be explicitly calculated based on the underlying velocity field. In particular, we analyze spatially integrat ...

Quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice: Semiclassical and variational approaches to vison dispersion and condensation

Frédéric Mila

After reviewing the concept of vison excitations in Z(2) dimer liquids, we study the liquid-crystal transition of the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice by means of a semiclassical spin-wave approximation to the dispersion of visons in the conte ...

Network Loss Inference with Second Order Statistics of End-to-End Flows

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen

We address the problem of calculating link loss rates from end-to-end measurements. Contrary to existing works that use only the average end-to-end loss rates or strict temporal correlations between probes, we exploit second-order moments of end-to-end flo ...
