A Distributed Luenberger Observer for Linear State Feedback Systems With Quantized and Rate-Limited Communications

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti, Ye Pu, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This article addresses the problem of simultaneous distributed state estimation, and control of linear systems with linear state feedback, subjected to process, and measurement noise, under the constraints of quantized, and rate-limited network data transm ...

Entanglement Entropy from Nonequilibrium Work

Jonathan D'Emidio

The Renyi entanglement entropy in quantum many-body systems can be viewed as the difference in free energy between partition functions with different trace topologies. We introduce an external field lambda that controls the partition function topology, all ...

On the Hardness of the Strongly Dependent Decision Problem

Martin Biely

We present necessary and sufficient conditions for solving the strongly dependent decision (SDD) problem in various distributed systems. Our main contribution is a novel characterization of the SDD problem based on point-set topology. For partially synchro ...

Path properties of the solution to the stochastic heat equation with Levy noise

Robert Dalang, Carsten Hao Ye Chong, Thomas Marie Jean-Baptiste Humeau

We consider sample path properties of the solution to the stochastic heat equation, in Rd or bounded domains of Rd, driven by a Levy space-time white noise. When viewed as a stochastic process in time with values in an infinite-dimensional space, the solut ...

On a generalization of the Poincaré Lemma to equations of the type dw + a ∧ w = f

David Valentin Strütt

We study the system of linear partial differential equations given by dw + a Lambda w = f, on open subsets of R-n, together with the algebraic equation da Lambda u = beta, where a is a given 1-form, f is a given (k + 1)-form, beta is a given k + 2-form, w ...

General Surface Energy for Spinal Cord and Aorta Segmentation

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann, Harshit Gupta

We present a new surface energy potential for the segmentation of cylindrical objects in 3D medical imaging using parametric spline active contours (a.k.a. spline-snakes). Our energy formulation is based on an optimal steerable surface detector. Thus, we c ...

Multidimensional Persistence and Noise

Martina Scolamiero

In this paper, we study multidimensional persistence modules (Carlsson and Zomorodian in Discrete Comput Geom 42(1):71-93, 2009; Lesnick in Found Comput Math 15(3):613-650, 2015) via what we call tame functors and noise systems. A noise system leads to a p ...

Characterization of the Impact of Hardware Islands on OLTP

Anastasia Ailamaki, Miguel Sérgio De Oliveira Branco, Pinar Tözün, Danica Porobic, Ippokratis Pandis

Modern hardware is abundantly parallel and increasingly heterogeneous. The numerous processing cores have non-uniform access latencies to the main memory and processor caches, which causes variability in the communication costs. Unfortunately, database sys ...

Exponential Kleisli Monoids as Eilenberg-Moore Algebras

Gavin Jay Seal, Dirk Hofmann

Lax monoidal powerset-enriched monads yield a monoidal structure on the category of monoids in the Kleisli category of a monad. Exponentiable objects in this category are identified as those Kleisli monoids with algebraic structure. This result generalizes ...

Iso-level tool path planning for free-form surfaces

Bailin Deng

The aim of tool path planning is to maximize the efficiency against some given precision criteria. In practice, scallop height should be kept constant to avoid unnecessary cutting, while the tool path should be smooth enough to maintain a high feed rate. H ...

Global dynamics away from the ground state for the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation

Joachim Krieger

We study global behavior of radial solutions for the nonlinear wave equation with the focusing energy critical nonlinearity in three and five space dimensions. Assuming that the solution has energy at most slightly more than the ground states and gets away ...

Moyennabilité et courbure : G-espaces boréliens et espaces CAT(0)

Martin Anderegg

As Avez showed (in 1970), the fundamental group of a compact Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature has exponential growth if and only if it is not flat. After several generalizations from Gromov, Zimmer, Anderson, Burger and Shroeder, the ...

Multiple source multiple destination topology inference using network coding

Christina Fragouli

In this paper, we combine network coding and tomographic techniques for topology inference. Our goal is to infer the topology of a network by sending probes between a given set of multiple sources and multiple receivers and by having intermediate nodes per ...

Multiplicities of simple closed geodesics and hypersurfaces in Teichmuller space

Hugo Parlier

Using geodesic length functions, we define a natural family of real codimension 1 subvarieties of Teichmuller space, namely the subsets where the lengths of two distinct simple closed geodesics are of equal length. We investigate the point set topology of ...

Network-Coded Broadcast: from Canonical Networks to Random Topologies

Christina Fragouli, Jörg Widmer

We consider the problem of finding the minimum number of transmissions in an ad-hoc network for all-to-all broadcasting using network coding. This work generalizes previous results for canonical topologies such as the circle and the wrap around grid to the ...
