Morphological processes and potential for lacustrine delta restoration

Giovanni De Cesare, Stéphanie Joëlle André, Alexandre Philippe Louis Antoine Fourrier

Most lacustrine deltas are nowadays highly anthropized systems. River training works during past centuries considered rivers mainly as vectors of water and sediments from a point source to a sink. However, numerous problems have been identified by resident ...

Null energy constraints on two-dimensional RG flows

Grégoire Olivier Mathys

We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov c-theorem, and derive further independ ...

Efficient Continual Finite-Sum Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Efstratios Panteleimon Skoulakis, Leello Tadesse Dadi

Given a sequence of functions

f_1,\ldots,f_n

with

f_i:\mathcal{D}\mapsto \mathbb{R}

, finite-sum minimization seeks a point

{x}^\star \in \mathcal{D}

minimizing

\sum_{j=1}^nf_j(x)/n

. In this work, we propose a key twist into the finite-sum minimizat ...

On the Use of the Generalized Littlewood Theorem Concerning Integrals of the Logarithm of Analytical Functions for the Calculation of Infinite Sums and the Analysis of Zeroes of Analytical Functions

Serguei Sekatski

Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calcul ...

Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm and exact moduli of continuity for a class of anisotropic Gaussian random fields

Cheuk Yin Lee

We establish a Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm and the exact local and uniform moduli of continuity for a large class of anisotropic Gaussian random fields with a harmonizable-type integral representation and the property of strong local nondeterm ...

Propagation of singularities for the stochastic wave equation

Cheuk Yin Lee

We study the existence and propagation of singularities of the solution to a one-dimensional linear stochastic wave equation driven by an additive Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space. Our approach is based on a simultaneous law of the ...

The Hausdorff measure of the range and level sets of Gaussian random fields with sectorial local nondeterminism

Cheuk Yin Lee

We determine the exact Hausdorff measure functions for the range and level sets of a class of Gaussian random fields satisfying sectorial local nondeterminism and other assumptions. We also establish a Chung-type law of the iterated logarithm. The results ...

Development of Lamb wave resonators in thin film X-cut lithium niobate

Muhammad Faizan

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is among the most revolutionary technologies of 21st century, with the applications ranging from industrial systems to consumer electronics. Using MEMS in battery-powered wireless devices has long been seen as the evol ...

An analytical toolkit for the S-matrix bootstrap

Miguel Alexandre Ribeiro Correia, Alexander Zhiboedov, Amit Sever

We revisit analytical methods for constraining the nonperturbative S-matrix of unitary, relativistic, gapped theories in d >= 3 spacetime dimensions. We assume extended analyticity of the two-to-two scattering amplitude and use it together with elastic uni ...

On Randomized Trace Estimates for Indefinite Matrices with an Application to Determinants

Daniel Kressner, Alice Cortinovis

Randomized trace estimation is a popular and well-studied technique that approximates the trace of a large-scale matrix B by computing the average of x(T) Bx for many samples of a random vector X. Often, B is symmetric positive definite (SPD) but a number ...

Dating Death: An Empirical Comparison of Medical Underwriters in the U.S. Life Settlements Market

Jiahua Xu

The value of a life settlement investment, manifested through a traded life insurance policy, is highly dependent on the insured's life expectancy (LE). LE estimation in life settlements relies heavily on medical underwriting. Employing different evaluatio ...

Frequency-scalable fabrication process flow for lithium niobate based Lamb wave resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Muhammad Faizan

In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication and characterization of lithium niobate (LN) based Lamb wave mode (S0 and SH0) resonators that address the stringent requirements of RF filtering for modern communication systems. The devices consist of a 400 n ...

On the Size of K-Cross-Free Families

János Pach, Andrei Kupavskii, Istvan Tomon

Two subsets A,B of an n-element ground set X are said to be crossing, if none of the four sets AB, A\B, B\A and X(AB) are empty. It was conjectured by Karzanov and Lomonosov forty years ago that if a family F of subsets of X does not contain k pairwise cr ...

Construction of Polar Codes With Sublinear Complexity

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Consider the problem of constructing a polar code of block length N for a given transmission channel W. Previous approaches require one to compute the reliability of the N synthetic channels and then use only those that are sufficiently reliable. However, ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Experimental evidence of Bloch surface waves on photonic crystals with thin-film LiNbO3 as a top layer

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Maria-Pilar Bernal

Strong nonlinear, electro-optical, and thermo-optical properties of lithium niobate (LN) have gained much attention. However, the implementation of LiNbO3 in real devices is not a trivial task due to difficulties in manufacturing and handling thin-film LN. ...

Laminated connections for structural glass applications under shear loading at different temperatures and strain rates

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections. Two adhesive materials for la ...

Asymptotics of action variables near semi-toric singularities

The presence of focus-focus singularities in semi-toric integrables Hamiltonian systems is one of the reasons why there cannot exist global Action-Angle coordinates on such systems. At focus-focus critical points, the Liouville-Arnold-Mineur theorem does n ...

Effects as Implicit Capabilities

Martin Odersky

We propose to investigate a new approach to effect checking that has an elegant solution to the effect polymorphism problem. The central idea is that instead of talking about effects we talk about capabilities. For instance, instead of saying a function “t ...
