Optimal containment control for a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with actuator faults

This article investigates the optimal containment control problem for a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with time-varying actuator faults and unmatched disturbances based on adaptive dynamic programming. Since there exist unknown input signals i ...

Decentralized learning made easy with DecentralizePy

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafael Pereira Pires, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Rishi Sharma, Milos Vujasinovic

Decentralized learning (DL) has gained prominence for its potential benefits in terms of scalability, privacy, and fault tolerance. It consists of many nodes that coordinate without a central server and exchange millions of parameters in the inherently ite ...

Communication-efficient distributed training of machine learning models

Thijs Vogels

In this thesis, we explore techniques for addressing the communication bottleneck in data-parallel distributed training of deep learning models. We investigate algorithms that either reduce the size of the messages that are exchanged between workers, or th ...

Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: functional MRI and connectome correlates

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel

decrement have been proposed, such as weakened acquisition of the motor skill. While the processes at play during the initial acquisition phase have been well-characterized in young adults, they were only scarcely investigated in older adults. The goal of ...

Rich cell-type-specific network topology in neocortical microcircuitry

Henry Markram, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Srikanth Ramaswamy, Michael Reimann, Idan Segev, Eyal Gal, Michael London

Uncovering structural regularities and architectural topologies of cortical circuitry is vital for understanding neural computations. Recently, an experimentally constrained algorithm generated a dense network reconstruction of a similar to 0.3-mm(3) volum ...

Design of Steerable Wavelets to Detect Multifold Junctions

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Zsuzsanna Püspöki, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We propose a framework for the detection of junctions in images. Although the detection of edges and key points is a well examined and described area, the multiscale detection of junction centers, especially for odd orders, poses a challenge in pattern ana ...

A deployable tensegrity footbridge that connects at mid-span

Ian Smith, Nicolas Willy Veuve, Seif Dalil Safaei

This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connects at mid-span. Tensegrity structures are pre-stressed structures composed of tension elements (cables) surrounded by compression elements (strut ...

A Unifying Parametric Framework for 2D Steerable Wavelet Transforms

Michaël Unser

We introduce a complete parameterization of the family of two-dimensional steerable wavelets that are polar-separable in the Fourier domain under the constraint of self-reversibility. These wavelets are constructed by multiorder generalized Riesz transform ...

Understanding and Tackling the Root Causes of Instability in Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz, David Starobinski

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that imp ...

Automatic Verification of Parametric Specifications with Complex Topologies

Swen Jacobs

The focus of this paper is on reducing the complexity in verification by exploiting modularity at various levels: in specification, in verification, and structurally. For specifications, we use the modular language CSP-OZ-DC, which allows us to decouple ve ...

Phase behaviour of the symmetric binary mixture from Thermodynamic Perturbation Theory

Nicolas Dorsaz, Giuseppe Foffi

We study the phase behaviour of symmetric binary mixtures of hard core Yukawa (HCY) particles via thermodynamic perturbation theory (TPT). We show that all the topologies of phase diagram reported for the symmetric binary mixtures are correctly reproduced ...

DNA Topology : A Biophysical Study of DNA Rings, Knots, and Catenanes by Means of Atomic Force Microscopy and Numerical Simulations

Guillaume Witz

This thesis explores different aspects of DNA topology through experimental and numerical techniques. Topology is a vast mathematical field, that deals with the spatial properties of objects undergoing continuous deformations, but here it is restricted to ...

Elucidating the Instability of Random Access Wireless Mesh Networks

Patrick Thiran, Adel Aziz, David Starobinski

We investigate both theoretically and experimentally the stability of CSMA-based wireless mesh networks, where a network is said to be stable if and only if the queue of each relay node remains (almost surely) finite. We identify two key factors that impac ...

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 ...

Modeling and Numerical Simulation of a Complete Hydrolelectric Production Site

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond

For many years the EPFL Laboratory for Electrical Machines develops SIMSEN, a numerical software package for the simulation in transient and steady-state conditions of electrical power systems and adjustable speed drives, having an arbitrary topology. SIMS ...

Loss Tomography in General Topologies with Network Coding

Christina Fragouli

Network tomography infers internal network characteristics by sending and collecting probe packets from the network edge. Traditional tomographic techniques for general topologies typically use a mesh of multicast trees and/or unicast paths to cover the en ...

Synthèse, structure et propriétés physicochimiques des cyclosporines

Olivier Turpin

Cyclosporin is a cyclic undecapeptide useful as drug for organ transplantation due to its immunosuppressive properties. Ten years ago, an anti-viral activity was discovered, incompatible with immunosuppression. These two activities originate in the presenc ...
