Extensions of Peer Prediction Incentive Mechanisms

As large, data-driven artificial intelligence models become ubiquitous, guaranteeing high data quality is imperative for constructing models. Crowdsourcing, community sensing, and data filtering have long been the standard approaches to guaranteeing or imp ...

A New Analytical Approximation of the Fluid Antenna System Channel

Malek Khammassi

Fluid antenna systems (FAS) are an emerging technology that promises a significant diversity gain even in the smallest spaces. It consists of a freely moving antenna in a small linear space to pick up the strongest received signal. Previous works in the li ...

ALMOST EVERYWHERE NONUNIQUENESS OF INTEGRAL CURVES FOR DIVERGENCE-FREE SOBOLEV VECTOR FIELDS

Massimo Sorella

We construct divergence-free Sobolev vector fields in C([0,1];W-1,W-r(T-d;Rd)) with r < d and d\geq 2 which simultaneously admit any finite number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation. These vector fields are then shown to have at leas ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Understanding Deep Neural Function Approximation in Reinforcement Learning via ϵ-Greedy Exploration

Volkan Cevher, Fanghui Liu, Luca Viano

This paper provides a theoretical study of deep neural function approximation in reinforcement learning (RL) with the ϵ-greedy exploration under the online setting. This problem setting is motivated by the successful deep Q-networks (DQN) framework that fa ...

Semi-Discrete Optimal Transport: Hardness, Regularization and Numerical Solution

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Bahar Taskesen

Semi-discrete optimal transport problems, which evaluate the Wasserstein distance between a discrete and a generic (possibly non-discrete) probability measure, are believed to be computationally hard. Even though such problems are ubiquitous in statistics, ...

Sparse non-negative super-resolution - simplified and stabilised

Armin Eftekhari, Hemant Tyagi

We consider the problem of non-negative super-resolution, which concerns reconstructing a non-negative signal x = Sigma(k )(i=1)a(i)delta(ti) from m samples of its convolution with a window function phi(s - t), of the form y(s(j)) = Sigma(k)(i=1) a(i) phi( ...

On the stress tensor light-ray operator algebra

Grégoire Olivier Mathys, Matthew Thomas Walters, Alexandre Mathieu Frédéric Belin

We study correlation functions involving generalized ANEC operators of the form integral dx-x-n+2T--x -> in four dimensions. We compute two, three, and ...

Three-dimensional fabrication of sub-micron optical waveguides in PDMS and other polymer materials

Giulia Panusa

Optical waveguides are one of the most important photonic components. They are indispensable tools in many of todayâ s technologies because of their capacity of guiding light. In particular, compact, low loss, flexible polymer optical waveguides are cruci ...

First passage sets of the 2D continuum Gaussian free field

Juhan Aru, Titus Lupu

We introduce the first passage set (FPS) of constant level -a of the two-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) on finitely connected domains. Informally, it is the set of points in the domain that can be connected to the boundary by a path on whi ...

Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

Yash Lodha

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Increasing risk: Dynamic mean-preserving spreads

Max-Olivier Hongler

We extend the celebrated Rothschild and Stiglitz (1970) definition of Mean-Preserving Spreads to a dynamic framework. We adapt the original integral conditions to transition probability densities, and give sufficient conditions for their satisfaction. We t ...

A Note on BIBO Stability

Michaël Unser

The statements on the BIBO stability of continuoustime convolution systems found in engineering textbooks are often either too vague (because of lack of hypotheses) or mathematically incorrect. What is more troubling is that they usually exclude the identi ...

Embedded Microchannel Cooling for High Power-Density GaN-on-Si Power Integrated Circuits

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Luca Nela, Georgios Kampitsis, Reza Soleiman Zadeh Ardebili

In this work, we demonstrate a new thermal management approach for direct cooling of GaN-on-Si power integrated circuits (ICs), in which the Si substrate functions as a microfluidic heat sink, turning Si into a cost-effective, high thermal performance subs ...

Applying SHARK-X to perform data assimilation with the LWR-PROTEUS Phase II integral experiments

Andreas Pautz, Daniel Jerôme Siefman, Mathieu Hursin

Data assimilation methods have recently been implemented in the sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification tool SHARK-X. This paper presents how they were used with sensitivity coefficients and randomly-sampled nuclear data to simulate integral pa ...

A finitely presented infinite simple group of homeomorphisms of the circle

Yash Lodha

We construct a finitely presented, infinite, simple group that acts by homeomorphisms on the circle, but does not admit a non-trivial action by C1-diffeomorphisms on the circle. This is the first such example. The group emerges as a group of piecewise proj ...

Giant non-linear susceptibility of hydrogenic donors in silicon and germanium

Gabriel Aeppli

Implicit summation is a technique for the conversion of sums over intermediate states in multiphoton absorption and the high-order susceptibility in hydrogen into simple integrals. Here, we derive the equivalent technique for hydrogenic impurities in multi ...

Measuring Functional Integration by Identifying the Trip Chains and the Profiles of Cross-Border Workers: Empirical Evidences from Luxembourg

Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Philippe Gerber

The number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In the collective imagination these cross-border workers come to the Grand Duchy just to work. This paper challenges this representation by measuring the functi ...
