description: This paper presents the Relaxed Continuous-Time Actor-critic (RCTAC) algorithm, a method for finding the nearly optimal policy for nonlinear continuous-time (CT) systems with known dynamics and infinite horizon, such as the path-tracking control of vehicles. RCTAC has several advantages over existing adaptive dynamic programming algorithms for CT systems. It does not require the ``admissibility" of the initialized policy or the input-affine nature of controlled systems for convergence. Instead, given any initial policy, RCTAC can converge to an admissible, and subsequently nearly optimal policy for a general nonlinear system with a saturated controller. RCTAC consists of two phases: a warm-up phase and a generalized policy iteration phase. The warm-up phase minimizes the square of the Hamiltonian to achieve admissibility, while the generalized policy iteration phase relaxes the update termination conditions for faster convergence. The convergence and optimality of the algorithm are proven through Lyapunov analysis, and its effectiveness is demonstrated through simulations and real-world path-tracking tasks.

description: A crucial challenge in network theory is the study of the robustness of a network after facing a sequence of failures. In this work, we propose a dynamical definition of network's robustness based on Information Theory, that considers measurements of the structural changes caused by failures of the network's components. Failures are defined here, as a temporal process defined in a sequence. The robustness of the network is then evaluated by measuring dissimilarities between topologies after each time step of the sequence, providing a dynamical information about the topological damage. We thoroughly analyze the efficiency of the method in capturing small perturbations by considering both, the degree and distance distributions. We found the network's distance distribution more consistent in capturing network structural deviations, as better reflects the consequences of the failures. Theoretical examples and real networks are used to study the performance of this methodology.

description: Davydov-Yetter cohomology classifies infinitesimal deformations of tensor categories and of tensor functors. Our first result is that Davydov-Yetter cohomology for finite tensor categories is equivalent to the cohomology of a comonad arising from the central Hopf monad. This has several applications: First, we obtain a short and conceptual proof of Ocneanu rigidity. Second, it allows to use standard methods from comonad cohomology theory to compute Davydov-Yetter cohomology for a family of non-semisimple finite-dimensional Hopf algebras generalizing Sweedler's four dimensional Hopf algebra.

In this article we focus on the surface case. A salient feature here is the scale invariance of the functional which leads to a plenitude of critical points. Moreover, via the spinorial Weierstraß representation it relates to the Willmore energy of periodic immersions of surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^3$.

description: Nonlocality without entanglement and its subsequent generalizations offer deep information-theoretic insights and subsequently find several useful applications. Concept of genuinely nonlocal set of product states emerges as a natural multipartite generalization of this phenomenon. Existence of such sets eventually motivates the problem concerning their entanglement-assisted discrimination. Here, we construct examples of genuinely nonlocal product states for arbitrary number of parties. Strength of genuine nonlocality of these sets can be considered minimal as their perfect discrimination is possible with entangled resources residing in Hilbert spaces having the smallest possible dimensions. Our constructions lead to fully separable measurements that are impossible to implement even if all but one party come together. Furthermore, they also provide the opportunity to compare different multipartite states that otherwise are incomparable under single copy local manipulation.

description: In contrast to interband excitons in undoped quantum wells, doped quantum wells do not display sharp resonances due to excitonic bound states. In these systems the effective Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes typically only leads to a depolarization shift of the single-electron intersubband transitions. Non-perturbative light-matter interaction in solid-state devices has been investigated as a pathway to tune optoelectronic properties of materials. A recent theoretical work [Cortese et al., Optica 6, 354 (2019)] predicted that, when the doped quantum wells are embedded in a photonic cavity, emission-reabsorption processes of cavity photons can generate an effective attractive interaction which binds electrons and holes together, leading to the creation of an intraband bound exciton. Spectroscopically, this bound state manifests itself as a novel discrete resonance which appears below the ionisation threshold only when the coupling between light and matter is increased above a critical value. Here we report the first experimental observation of such a bound state using doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells embedded in metal-metal resonators whose confinement is high enough to permit operation in strong coupling. Our result provides the first evidence of bound states of charged particles kept together not by Coulomb interaction, but by the exchange of transverse photons. Light-matter coupling can thus be used as a novel tool in quantum material engineering, tuning electronic properties of semiconductor heterostructures beyond those permitted by mere crystal structures, with direct applications to mid-infrared optoelectronics.

description: Impedance control is a well-established technique to control interaction forces in robotics. However, real implementations of impedance control with an inner loop may suffer from several limitations. Although common practice in designing nested control systems is to maximize the bandwidth of the inner loop to improve tracking performance, it may not be the most suitable approach when a certain range of impedance parameters has to be rendered. In particular, it turns out that the viable range of stable stiffness and damping values can be strongly affected by the bandwidth of the inner control loops (e.g. a torque loop) as well as by the filtering and sampling frequency. This paper provides an extensive analysis on how these aspects influence the stability region of impedance parameters as well as the passivity of the system. This will be supported by both simulations and experimental data. Moreover, a methodology for designing joint impedance controllers based on an inner torque loop and a positive velocity feedback loop will be presented. The goal of the velocity feedback is to increase (given the constraints to preserve stability) the bandwidth of the torque loop without the need of a complex controller.

description: Encoding domain knowledge into the prior over the high-dimensional weight space of a neural network is challenging but essential in applications with limited data and weak signals. Two types of domain knowledge are commonly available in scientific applications: 1. feature sparsity (fraction of features deemed relevant); 2. signal-to-noise ratio, quantified, for instance, as the proportion of variance explained (PVE). We show how to encode both types of domain knowledge into the widely used Gaussian scale mixture priors with Automatic Relevance Determination. Specifically, we propose a new joint prior over the local (i.e., feature-specific) scale parameters that encodes knowledge about feature sparsity, and a Stein gradient optimization to tune the hyperparameters in such a way that the distribution induced on the model's PVE matches the prior distribution. We show empirically that the new prior improves prediction accuracy, compared to existing neural network priors, on several publicly available datasets and in a genetics application where signals are weak and sparse, often outperforming even computationally intensive cross-validation for hyperparameter tuning.

description: Work and quantum correlations are two fundamental resources in thermodynamics and quantum information theory. In this work we study how to use correlations among quantum systems to optimally store work. We analyse this question for isolated quantum ensembles, where the work can be naturally divided into two contributions: a local contribution from each system, and a global contribution originating from correlations among systems. We focus on the latter and consider quantum systems which are locally thermal, thus from which any extractable work can only come from correlations. We compute the maximum extractable work for general entangled states, separable states, and states with fixed entropy. Our results show that while entanglement gives an advantage for small quantum ensembles, this gain vanishes for a large number of systems.

Comprehensive measurements of $t$-channel single top-quark production cross sections at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This article presents measurements of the $t$-channel single top-quark ($t$) and top-antiquark ($\bar{t}$) total production cross sections $σ(tq)$ and $σ(\bar{t}q)$, their ratio $R_{t}=σ(tq)/σ(\bar{t}q)$, and a measurement of the inclusive production cross section $σ(tq + \bar{t}q)$ in proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV at the LHC. Differential cross sections for the $tq$ and $\bar{t}q$ processes are measured as a function of the transverse momentum and the absolute value of the rapidity of $t$ and $\bar{t}$, respectively. The analyzed data set was recorded with the ATLAS detector and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.59 fb$^{-1}$. Selected events contain one charged lepton, large missing transverse momentum, and two or three jets. The cross sections are measured by performing a binned maximum-likelihood fit to the output distributions of neural networks. The resulting measurements are $σ(tq)= 46\pm 6\; \mathrm{pb}$, $σ(\bar{t}q)= 23 \pm 4\; \mathrm{pb}$, $R_{t}=2.04\pm 0.18$, and $σ(tq + \bar{t}q)= 68 \pm 8\; \mathrm{pb}$, consistent with the Standard Model expectation. The uncertainty on the measured cross sections is dominated by systematic uncertainties, while the uncertainty on $R_{t}$ is mainly statistical. Using the ratio of $σ(tq + \bar{t}q)$ to its theoretical prediction, and assuming that the top-quark-related CKM matrix elements obey the relation $|V_{tb}|\gg |V_{ts}|, |V_{td}|$, we determine $|V_{tb}|=1.02 \pm 0.07$.

Diffusion limits for shortest remaining processing time queues under nonstandard spatial scaling

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We develop a heavy traffic diffusion limit theorem under nonstandard spatial scaling for the queue length process in a single server queue employing shortest remaining processing time (SRPT). For processing time distributions with unbounded support, it has been shown that standard diffusion scaling yields an identically zero limit. We specify an alternative spatial scaling that produces a nonzero limit. Our model allows for renewal arrivals and i.i.d. processing times satisfying a rapid variation condition. We add a corrective spatial scale factor to standard diffusion scaling, and specify conditions under which the sequence of unconventionally scaled queue length processes converges in distribution to the same nonzero reflected Brownian motion to which the sequence of conventionally scaled workload processes converges. Consequently, this corrective spatial scale factor characterizes the order of magnitude difference between the queue length and workload processes of SRPT queues in heavy traffic. It is determined by the processing time distribution such that the rate at which it tends to infinity depends on the rate at which the tail of the processing time distribution tends to zero. For Weibull processing time distributions, we restate this result in a manner that makes the resulting state space collapse more apparent.

By considering self-products of the Cartwright-Steger surface, this allows us to build new examples of smooth projective varieties whose fundamental group has a non-finitely generated homology.

Creators: name: Dolley, Margaret

description: This thesis is in two parts. First I present a polyphonic novel, Shooting
 the Faithful Departed, exploring the competing claims to a derelict house
 on an Irish island set out by four people attending a gathering of
 descendants, when they are trapped together inside the property as a storm
 prolongs their stay.

 In the subsequent exegesis, I set out how I have used concepts of place
 and space as a source of inspiration and driver of plot, characterization
 and voice. Moving from the intimate and concrete domestic space – in the
 form of my abandoned house – that is a familiar trope in Irish literature,
 I explore concepts of ‘no space’; the real and imagined spaces of the
 diaspora; and the narrative opportunities of interaction between different
 time zones in the internet era.

 I interrogate focalising techniques that might best represent a diverse
 transnational cast, explore the dialectic between source country and
 diaspora, and consider what constitutes ownership and belonging, as well
 as how claims to a property can crystallise the commodification of
 Irishness. In considering entitlement to property, I suggest that human
 claims may be need to be modified by environmental factors in the age of
 the Anthropocene.

 People face particular challenges in creating belief systems when they
 have two or more cultures to draw from, especially when dealing with
 grief, death, loss or absence. In a postcolonial tradition like Ireland’s
 that is long marked by haunting, I show how the wider virtual space around
 a dwelling may become a place for returnees from the diaspora, as well as
 people in the ‘home’ country, to gather in and reconcile with their dead.
 There may be particular relevance when family members have lost their
 lives while travelling for economic reasons such as lack of work or land,
 and when their physical remains have not received a formal committal.
 Acquiring a measure of agency through the device of haunting may enable
 the survivors to come to terms with the past and negotiate their own
 future.

description: Recently, there has been a growing interest in the usage of mm-scale composites of plasmonic nanoparticles for enhancing the rates of chemical reactions; the effect was shown recently to be predominantly associated with the elevated temperature caused by illumination. Here, we study the parametric dependence of the temperature distribution in these samples, and provide analytic expressions for simple cases. We show that since these systems are usually designed to absorb all the incoming light, the temperature distribution in them is weakly-dependent on the illumination spectrum, pulse duration, particle shape, size and density. Thus, changes in these parameters yield at most modest quantitative changes. We also show that the temperature distribution is linearly dependent on the beam radius and the thermal conductivity of the host. Finally, we study the sensitivity of the reaction rate to these parameters as a function of the activation energy and interpret various previous experimental reports. These results would simplify the optimization of photocatalysis experiments, as well as for other energy-related applications based on light harvesting for heat generation.

description: A graph is called \emph{claw-free} if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to $K_{1,3}$. Matthews and Sumner proved that a 2-connected claw-free graph $G$ is hamiltonian if every vertex of it has degree at least $(|V(G)|-2)/3$. At the workshop C\&C (Novy Smokovec, 1993), Broersma conjectured the degree condition of this result can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies of $N$ (the graph obtained from a triangle by adding three disjoint pendant edges). Fujisawa and Yamashita showed that the degree condition of Matthews and Sumner can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies of $Z_1$ (the graph obtained from a triangle by adding one pendant edge). Our main result in this paper is a characterization of all graphs $H$ such that a 2-connected claw-free graph $G$ is hamiltonian if each end-vertex of every induced copy of $H$ in $G$ has degree at least $|V(G)|/3+1$. This gives an affirmative solution of the conjecture of Broersma up to an additive constant.

When does a discrete-time random walk in $\mathbb{R}^n$ absorb the origin into its convex hull?

description: We connect this question to a problem of estimating the probability that the image of certain random matrices does not intersect with a subset of the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$. In this way, the case of a discretized Brownian motion is related to Gordon's escape theorem dealing with standard Gaussian matrices. The approach allows us to prove that with high probability, the $π/2$-covering time of certain random walks on $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ is of order $n$. For certain spherical simplices on $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, we extend the "escape" phenomenon to a broad class of random matrices; as an application, we show that $e^{Cn}$ steps are sufficient for the standard walk on $\mathbb{Z}^n$ to absorb the origin into its convex hull with a high probability.

description: The minimal $U(1)_X$ extension of the Standard Model (SM) is a simple and well-motivated extension of the SM, which supplements the SM with the seesaw mechanism for naturally generating the light neutrino masses and offers various interesting phenomenologies. In the model, the $U(1)_X$ charge of each SM field is characterized by the $U(1)_X$ charge of the SM Higgs doublet with a free parameter $x_H$. Due to the $U(1)_X$ charge of the Higgs doublet, the Higgs boson has a trilinear coupling with the $Z$ boson and the $U(1)_X$ gauge boson ($Z^\prime$). With this coupling, a new process for the associated Higgs boson production with a $Z$ boson arises through a $Z^\prime$ boson in the $s$-channel at high energy colliders. In this paper, we calculate the associated Higgs boson production at high energy colliders and show interesting effects of the new $Z^\prime$ boson mediated process, which can be tested in the future.

description: We study, within QCD collinear factorization and including BFKL resummation at the next-to-leading order, the production of Mueller-Navelet jets at LHC with center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The adopted jet vertices are calculated in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity-azimuthal angle plane. We consider several representations of the dijet cross section, differing only beyond the next-to-leading order, to calculate a few observables related with this process. We use various methods of optimization to fix the energy scales entering the perturbative calculation and compare thereafter our results with the experimental data from the CMS collaboration.

description: In this note, we investigate, under what circumstances, a warm standby system (formed by n active components and m warm standby components) has more number of surviving warm standby components than another similar system at the time of $k$th failure of the active component of the respective system. The number of such components being random, the comparison has been done with respect to different stochastic orders, viz. usual stochastic order, hazard rate and reversed hazard rate orders, and likelihood ratio order.

description: The prototypical exciton model of two interacting Dirac particles in graphene was analyzed in [1] and it was found that in one of the electron-hole scattering channels the total kinetic energy vanishes, resulting in a singular behaviour. We show that this singularity can be removed by extending the quasiparticle dispersion, thus breaking the symmetry between upper and lower Dirac cones. The dynamics of an electron-electron pair are then mapped onto that of a single particle with negative mass and anisotropic dispersion. We show that the interplay between dispersion and repulsive interaction can result in the formation of bound, Cooper-pair-like, metastable states in double-layered hybrid structures.

description: Given a graph G where each node is associated with a set of attributes, attributed network embedding (ANE) maps each node v in G to a compact vector Xv, which can be used in downstream machine learning tasks. Ideally, Xv should capture node v's affinity to each attribute, which considers not only v's own attribute associations, but also those of its connected nodes along edges in G. It is challenging to obtain high-utility embeddings that enable accurate predictions; scaling effective ANE computation to massive graphs pushes the difficulty of the problem to a whole new level. Existing solutions largely fail on such graphs, leading to prohibitive costs, low-quality embeddings, or both. This paper proposes PANE, an effective and scalable approach to ANE computation for massive graphs that achieves state-of-the-art result quality on multiple benchmark datasets. PANE obtains high scalability and effectiveness through 3 main algorithmic designs. First, it formulates the learning objective based on a novel random walk model for attributed networks. Second, PANE includes a highly efficient solver for the above optimization problem, whose key module is a carefully designed initialization of the embeddings, which drastically reduces the number of iterations required to converge. Finally, PANE utilizes multi-core CPUs through non-trivial parallelization of the above solver, which achieves scalability while retaining the high quality of the resulting embeddings. The performance of PANE depends upon the number of attributes in the input network. To handle large networks with numerous attributes, we further extend PANE to PANE++. Extensive experiments, comparing 10 existing approaches on 8 real datasets, demonstrate that PANE and PANE++ consistently outperform all existing methods in terms of result quality, while being orders of magnitude faster.

Disconnection and level-set percolation for the Gaussian free field

description: We study the level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3. We consider a level alpha such that the excursion-set of the Gaussian free field above alpha percolates. We derive large deviation estimates on the probability that the excursion-set of the Gaussian free field below the level alpha disconnects a box of large side-length from the boundary of a larger homothetic box. It remains an open question whether our asymptotic upper and lower bounds are matching. With the help of a recent work of Lupu, see arXiv:1402.0298, we are able to infer some asymptotic upper bounds for similar disconnection problems by random interlacements, or by simple random walk.

description: We consider second order differential operators $A_μ$ on a bounded, Dirichlet regular set $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, subject to the nonlocal boundary conditions \[ u(z) = \int_Ωu(x)\, μ(z, dx)\quad \mbox{for } z \in \partial Ω. \] Here the function $μ: \partialΩ\to \mathscr{M}^+(Ω)$ is $σ(\mathscr{M} (Ω), C_b(Ω))$-continuous with $0\leq μ(z,Ω) \leq 1$ for all $z\in \partial Ω$. Under suitable assumptions on the coefficients in $A_μ$, we prove that $A_μ$ generates a holomorphic positive contraction semigroup $T_μ$ on $L^\infty(Ω)$. The semigroup $T_μ$ is never strongly continuous, but it enjoys the strong Feller property in the sense that it consists of kernel operators and takes values in $C(\barΩ)$. We also prove that $T_μ$ is immediately compact and study the asymptotic behavior of $T_μ(t)$ as $t \to \infty$.

description: The purpose of this work is to further develop a novel dual-mode microwave applicator for diagnosis and thermal ablation treatment. The MR-compatible MW applicator enables differentiation of tumor tissue and healthy tissue through dielectric contrast measurements, optimizing the positioning of the applicator in the lesion. Due to the robust applicator design and the resulting permittivity tracking during ablation, even carbonized tissue can be detected. The use of operating frequencies between 5 and 10 GHz allow a noticeably lower power consumption for microwave ablation of only 20 W compared to commercially available applicators. Clinically relevant dimensions of ablation zones can be achieved and additionally monitored using MR imaging and thermometry.
