The splay-list: a distribution-adaptive concurrent skip-list

The design and implementation of efficient concurrent data structures has seen significant attention. However, most of this work has focused on concurrent data structures providing good worst-case guarantees, although, in real workloads, objects are often ...

Memoryless Worker-Task Assignment with Polylogarithmic Switching Cost

Adam Teodor Polak

We study the basic problem of assigning memoryless workers to tasks with dynamically changing demands. Given a set of w workers and a multiset T ⊆ [t] of |T| = w tasks, a memoryless worker-task assignment function is any function ϕ that assigns the workers ...

Approximate CVPp in time 2(0.802n)

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Moritz Andreas Venzin

We show that a constant factor approximation of the shortest and closest lattice vector problem in any l(p)-norm can be computed in time 2((0.802 + epsilon)n). This matches the currently fastest constant factor approximation algorithm for the shortest vect ...

Safety in Numbers: Asymptotic Analysis of a Monitoring Problem

Emre Telatar, Reka Inovan

In this work, we introduce a setup where a monitoring entity attempts to distinguish a cheating player among a group of regular players where all players behave in order to maximize their reward. We assume that the cheating player has an "information advan ...

Spectral Hypergraph Sparsifiers of Nearly Linear Size

Mikhail Kapralov, Jakab Tardos

Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which optimal bounds on ...

The Role of Adaptivity in Source Identification with Time Queries

Gergely Odor

Understanding epidemic propagation in large networks is an important but challenging task, especially since we usually lack information, and the information that we have is often counter-intuitive. An illustrative example is the dependence of the final siz ...

On the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We prove small data modified scattering for the Vlasov-Poisson system in dimension

d=3

using a method inspired from dispersive analysis. In particular, we identify a simple asymptotic dynamic related to the scattering mass. ...

Efficient Sequential and Parallel Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Integer Programming Using Proximity

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Moritz Andreas Venzin, Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

We consider the problem of solving integer programs of the form min {c^⊺ x : Ax = b, x ∈ ℤ_{⩾ 0}}, where A is a multistage stochastic matrix in the following sense: the primal treedepth of A is bounded by a parameter d, which means that the columns of A ca ...

Sequential metric dimension for random graphs

Patrick Thiran, Gergely Odor

In the localization game on a graph, the goal is to find a fixed but unknown target node v* with the least number of distance queries possible. In the j-th step of the game, the player queries a single node v_j and receives, as an answer to their query, th ...

Scattering Map for the Vlasov–Poisson System

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We construct (modified) scattering operators for the Vlasov–Poisson system in three dimensions, mapping small asymptotic dynamics as t→−∞ to asymptotic dynamics as t→+∞. The main novelty is the construction of modified wave operators, but we also obtain a ...

Asymptotic symmetry and asymptotic solutions to Ito stochastic differential equations

Francesco Spadaro

We consider several aspects of conjugating symmetry methods, including the method of invariants, with an asymptotic approach. In particular we consider how to extend to the stochastic setting several ideas which are well established in the deterministic on ...

Paths in pseudorandom graphs and applications

Van Thang Pham

Let G = (V, E) be an (n, d, lambda)-graph. In this paper, we give an asymptotically tight condition on the size of U subset of V such that the number of paths of length k in U is close to the expected number for arbitrary integer k >= 1. More precisely, we ...

On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to parabolic variational inequalities

Maria Colombo

We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in the fact that, ...

Non-Exponential Variations for Classical Results in First Passage Percolation

Jacques Saliba

We study in this thesis the asymptotic behavior of optimal paths on a random graph model, the configuration model, for which we assign continuous random positive weights on its edges. We start by describing the asymptotic behavior of the diameter and the f ...

Bound and Conquer: Improving Triangulation by Enforcing Consistency

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Alireza Ghasemi

We study the accuracy of triangulation in multi-camera systems with respect to the number of cameras. We show that, under certain conditions, the optimal achievable reconstruction error decays quadratically as more cameras are added to the system. Furtherm ...

Unsupervised Robust Nonparametric Learning Of Hidden Community Properties

Martin Jaggi, Akhilesh Deepak Gotmare, Mikhail Langovoy

We consider learning of fundamental properties of communities in large noisy networks, in the prototypical situation where the nodes or users are split into two classes according to a binary property, e.g., according to their opinions or preferences on a t ...

Asymptotic dynamic for dipolar Quantum Gases below the ground state energy threshold

Luigi Forcella

We consider the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate without external confinement. We first consider the unstable regime, where the nonlocal nonlinearityis neither positive nor radially symmetric and standing states are k ...

Efficient Learning from Comparisons

Lucas Maystre

Humans are comparison machines: comparing and choosing an item among a set of alternatives (such as objects or concepts) is arguably one of the most natural ways for us to express our preferences and opinions. In many applications, the analysis of data con ...
