Structure-function coupling increases during interictal spikes in temporal lobe epilepsy: A graph signal processing study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Patric Hagmann

Objective: Structure-function coupling remains largely unknown in brain disorders. We studied this coupling during interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs), using graph signal processing in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). ...

Are GAN-based Morphs Threatening Face Recognition?

Sébastien Marcel, Eklavya Sarkar, Laurent Colbois

Morphing attacks are a threat to biometric systems where the biometric reference in an identity document can be altered. This form of attack presents an important issue in applications relying on identity documents such as border security or access control ...

A geographical study of (M)over-bar(2)(P-2, 4)(main)

Francesca Carocci

We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree 4 to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main) via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein singularities. ...

Faster One-Sample Stochastic Conditional Gradient Method for Composite Convex Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever, Maria-Luiza Vladarean

We propose a stochastic conditional gradient method (CGM) for minimizing convex finitesum objectives formed as a sum of smooth and non-smooth terms. Existing CGM variants for this template either suffer from slow convergence rates, or require carefully inc ...

Energy Bounds For A Fourth-Order Equation In Low Dimensions Related To Wave Maps

Tobias Johannes Schmid

For compact, isometrically embedded Riemannian manifolds N -> R-L, we introduce a fourth-order version of the wave maps equation. By energy estimates, we prove an a priori estimate for smooth local solutions in the energy subcritical dimension n = 1, 2. Th ...

Decentralized Proximal Gradient Algorithms With Linear Convergence Rates

Ali H. Sayed, Kun Yuan, Sulaiman A S A E Alghunaim

This article studies a class of nonsmooth decentralized multiagent optimization problems where the agents aim at minimizing a sum of local strongly-convex smooth components plus a common nonsmooth term. We propose a general primal-dual algorithmic framewor ...

A Study of Several Artificial Viscosity Models within the Discontinuous Galerkin Framework

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Dealing with strong shocks while retaining low numerical dissipation traditionally has been one of the major challenges for high order methods like discontinuous Galerkin (DG). In the literature, shock capturing models have been designed for DG based on va ...

Adaptive Gradient Descent without Descent

Konstantin Mishchenko

We present a strikingly simple proof that two rules are sufficient to automate gradient descent: 1) don’t increase the stepsize too fast and 2) don’t overstep the local curvature. No need for functional values, no line search, no information about the func ...

Hydraulic design of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic

New design information regarding the hydraulic behaviour of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes is presented and discussed. An extensive experimental campaign revealed that classical stilling basins preceded by stepped chutes cannot be a ...

Birational characterization of abelian varieties and ordinary abelian varieties in characteristic p>0

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Lei Zhang

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We give a birational characterization of ordinary abelian varieties over k: a smooth projective variety X is birational to an ordinary abelian variety if and only if kappa(S)(X) = 0 and b(1)(X ...

On subadditivity of Kodaira dimension in positive characteristic over a general type base

Zsolt Patakfalvi

We show that for a surjective, separable morphism f of smooth projective varieties over a field of positive characteristic such that f(*) OX congruent to O-Y subadditivity of Kodaira dimension holds, provided the base is of general type and the Hasse-Witt ...

Distributed Inference over Multitask Graphs under Smoothness

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif

This paper formulates a multitask optimization problem where agents in the network have individual objectives to meet, or individual parameter vectors to estimate, subject to a smoothness condition over the graph. The smoothness requirement softens the tra ...

Learning without Smoothness and Strong Convexity

Yen-Huan Li

Recent advances in statistical learning and convex optimization have inspired many successful practices. Standard theories assume smoothness---bounded gradient, Hessian, etc.--- and strong convexity of the loss function. Unfortunately, such conditions may ...

A data-driven shock capturing approach for discontinuous Galekin methods

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

We propose a data-driven artificial viscosity model for shock capturing in discontinuous Galerkin methods. The proposed model trains a multi-layer feedforward network to map from the element-wise solution to a smoothness indicator, based on which the artif ...

Combinatorial presentation of multidimensional persistent homology

Martina Scolamiero

A multifiltration is a functor indexed by Nr that maps any morphism to a monomorphism. The goal of this paper is to describe in an explicit and combinatorial way the natural Nr-graded R[x(1),...x(r)]-module structure on the homology of a multifiltration of ...

On the Hilbert Transform of Wavelets

Michaël Unser, Kunal Narayan Chaudhury

A wavelet is a localized function having a prescribed number of vanishing moments. In this correspondence, we provide precise arguments as to why the Hilbert transform of a wavelet is again a wavelet. In particular, we provide sharp estimates of the locali ...

Homotopic Descent over Monoidal Model Categories

The starting point for this project is the article of Kathryn Hess [11]. In this article, a homotopic version of monadic descent is developed. In the classical setting, one constructs a category D(𝕋) of coalgebras in the Eilenberg-Moore category of ...

How regular is a regular-interval timetable? From theory to application

Panagiotis Tzieropoulos, Daniel Emery, David Tron

Initially, choice of regular-interval timetable was mostly addressing operational concerns, aiming to increase the network throughput and to smooth the day-today tasks of the personnel. Separation between infrastructure management and train operations, ind ...

Singularities of generic characteristic polynomials and smooth finite splittings of Azumaya algebras over surfaces

Manuel Ojanguren

Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let P(X-11,...,X-nn, T) be the characteristic polynomial of the generic matrix (X-ij) over k. We determine its singular locus as well as the singular locus of its Galois splitting. If X is a smooth quasi-projective s ...
