De Finetti's theorem: rate of convergence in Kolmogorov distance
Creators: name: Dolera, Emanuele

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This paper provides a quantitative version of de Finetti law of large numbers. Given an infinite sequence $\{X_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ of exchangeable Bernoulli variables, it is well-known that $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n X_i \stackrel{a.s.}{\longrightarrow} Y$, for a suitable random variable $Y$ taking values in $[0,1]$. Here, we consider the rate of convergence in law of $\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i = 1}^n X_i$ towards $Y$, with respect to the Kolmogorov distance. After showing that any rate of the type of $1/n^α$ can be obtained for any $α\in (0,1]$, we find a sufficient condition on the probability distribution of $Y$ for the achievement of the optimal rate of convergence, that is $1/n$. Our main result improve on existing literature: in particular, with respect to \cite{MPS}, we study a stronger metric while, with respect to \cite{Mna}, we weaken the regularity hypothesis on the probability distribution of $Y$.

description: We study the scattering of the $φ^8$ kinks with power-law asymptotics. We found two critical values of the initial velocity, $v_{cr}^{(1)}$ and $v_{cr}^{(2)}$, which separate different regimes of the kink-antikink collision. At the initial velocities $v_{in}< v_{cr}^{(1)}$ kinks can not collide due to repulsive force between them. At $v_{in}>v_{cr}^{(2)}$ the kinks escape to spatial infinities after one collision. In the range $v_{cr}^{(1)}\le v_{in}\le v_{cr}^{(2)}$ we observed kinks capture and formation of their bound state. Besides that, at these initial velocities we found resonance phenomena -- escape windows.

description: The nature of computing, and hence of computer science, is changing rapidly. Many topics that now seem interesting will be obsolete or irrelevant within ten years, and our perspective on other topics will change. If a curriculum designed now is to remain effective through 1990 or beyond, we must try to understand the forces that are shaping the field and to anticipate the roles that computing and computer science will play in the future. At Carnegie-Mellon, a group of eight faculty and graduate students is designing a new undergraduate computer science curriculum. We began by examining the trends that will affect the field over the next decade and the new phenomena and issues that may arise. From this basis we are developing a new curriculum without prior assumptions drawn from existing curricula. In this talk I will discuss our view of current trends in computer science and the roles that colleges and universities must play over the next decade.

description: We show that the cycloidal magnetic order of a multiferroic can arise in the absence of spin and lattice anisotropies, for e.g., in a cubic material, and this explains the occurrence of such a state in CoCr$_2$O$_4$. We discuss the case when this order coexists with ferromagnetism in a so called `conical cycloid' state, and show that a direct transition to this state from the ferromagnet is necessarily first order. On quite general grounds, the reversal of the direction of the uniform magnetization in this state can lead to the reversal of the electric polarization as well, without the need to invoke `toroidal moment' as the order parameter.

description: We present a study of the magnetic field-dependent thermal transport in the spin S=1 chain material Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2(ClO4) (NENP). The measured thermal conductivity is found to be very sensitive to the field-induced changes in the spin excitation spectrum. The magnetic contribution to the total heat conductivity is analyzed in terms of a quasiparticle model, and we obtain a temperature and momentum independent mean free path. This implies that the motion of quasiparticles is effectively three dimensional despite the tiny interchain coupling.

description: In 1968 E.W. Dijkstra wrote a letter to the editor of the CACM proposing that the goto statement be abolished from all "higher level" programming languages. Although this suggestion has not met with universal acceptance, we would like to nominate another well-known language construct as a candidate for abolition: the non-local variable.
We claim that the noon-local variable is a major contributing factor in programs which are difficult to understand. For the moment we wish to keep the phrase "non-local variable" somewhat vague. Roughly, however, we mean any variable which is accessed, and particularly modified, over a relatively large span of program text. More specifically, we mean any variable are contained in S> We always intend conceptual locality, rather than textual locality; it may be the case that a single conceptual unit, (e.g., control of a loop) has elements that are separated by a number of lines of other text, but that the interpspresed text can be treated as a single element and "collapsed" for purposes of understanding the surrounding unit. If the text is properly displayed (e.g. with proper indentation), the physical distance between such elements need not interfere with their (conceptual) locality.

description: Using a phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory for the magnetic conical cycloid state of a multiferroic, which has been recently reported in the cubic spinel CoCr$_{2}$O$_{4}$, we discuss its low-energy fluctuation spectrum. We identify the Goldstone modes of the conical cycloidal order, and deduce their dispersion relations whose signature anisotropy in momentum space reflects the symmetries broken by the ordered state. We discuss the soft polarization fluctuations, the `electromagnons', associated with these magnetic modes and make several experimental predictions which can be tested in neutron scattering and optical experiments.

description: The robustness of spin liquids with respect to small perturbations, and the way magnetic frustration can be lifted by slight changes in the balance between competing magnetic interactions remains a rich and open issue. We address this question through the study of the Gadolinium Aluminium garnet Gd$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$, a related compound to the extensively studied Gd$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$. We report on its magnetic properties at very low temperature. We show that despite a freezing at about 300 mK, no magnetic transition is observed, suggesting the presence of a spin liquid state down to the lowest temperatures similarly to Gd$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$, in spite of a larger ratio between exchange and dipolar interactions. Finally, the phase diagram as a function of field and temperature is strongly reminiscent from the one reported in Gd$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$. This study reveals the robust nature of the spin liquid phase for Gd ions on the garnet lattice in stark contrast to Gd ions on the pyrochlore lattice for which a slight perturbation drives the compound into a range of magnetically ordered states.

description: Educational materials designed to teach users not to fall for phishing attacks are widely available but are often ignored by users. In this paper, we extend an embedded training methodology using learning science principles in which phishing education is made part of a primary task for users. The goal is to motivate users to pay attention to the training materials. In embedded training, users are sent simulated phishing attacks and trained after they fall for the attacks. Prior studies tested users immediately after training and demonstrated that embedded training improved users’ ability to identify phishing emails and websites. In the present study, we tested users to determine how well they retained knowledge gained through embedded training and how well they transferred this knowledge to identify other types of phishing emails. We also compared the effectiveness of the same training materials delivered via embedded training and delivered as regular email messages. In our experiments, we found that: (a) users learn more effectively when the training materials are presented after users fall for the attack (embedded) than when the same training materials are sent by email (non-embedded); (b) users retain and transfer more knowledge after embedded training than after nonembedded training; and (c) users with higher Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) scores are more likely than users with lower CRT scores to click on the links in the phishing emails from companies with which they have no account.

description: We study the convergence and shape correction to the limit distributions of extreme values due to the finite size (FS) of data sets. A renormalization method is introduced for the case of independent, identically distributed (iid) variables, showing that the iid universality classes are subdivided according to the exponent of the FS convergence, which determines the leading order FS shape correction function as well. We find that, for the correlated systems of subcritical percolation and 1/f^alpha stationary (alpha<1) noise, the iid shape correction compares favorably to simulations. Furthermore, for the strongly correlated regime (alpha>1) of 1/f^alpha noise, the shape correction is obtained in terms of the limit distribution itself.

description: In part one of this two-part series, we described our Gesture-Based Programming paradigm for programming by human demonstration. This paradigm depends on a pre-existing knowledge base of capabilities, collectively called “encapsulated expertise,” that comprise the real-time sensorimotor primitives from which the run-time executable is constructed as well as providing the basis for interpreting the teacher’s actions during programming. In this paper we present a technique based on principal components analysis, augmentable with model-based information, for learning and recognizing sensorimotor primitives. We describes simple applications of the technique to a mobile robot and a PUMA manipulator. The mobile robot learned to escape from jams while the manipulator learned guarded moves and accommodations that are composable to allow flat plate mating operations. While these initial applications are simple, they demonstrate the ability to extract primitives from demonstration, recognize the learned primitives in subsequent demonstrations, and combine and transform primitives to create different capabilities.

description: We present detailed images of diffuse UV intergalactic light (IGL), situated in a 60kpc halo that surrounds the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 at z=2. We discuss the nature of the IGL and rule out faint cluster galaxies, nebular continuum emission, synchrotron, inverse Compton emission and scattering of galactic stellar light as possible sources of the IGL. Dust scattered quasar light is an unlikely possibility that cannot be ruled out entirely. We conclude that the source of the IGL is most likely to be a young stellar population distributed in a halo encompassing the radio and satellite galaxies, undergoing star formation at a rate greater than 57 Msun/yr. Within 70kpc of the radio core, approximately 44% of the star formation that is traced by UV light occurs in this diffuse mode. The average UV colour of the IGL is bluer than the average galaxy colour, and there is a trend for the IGL to become bluer with increasing radius from the radio galaxy. Both the galaxies and the IGL show a UV colour--surface brightness relation which can be obtained by variations in either stellar population age or extinction. These observations show a different, but potentially important mode of star formation, that is diffuse in nature. Star formation, as traced by UV light, occurs in two modes in the high redshift universe: one in the usual Lyman break galaxy clump-like mode on kpc scales, and the other in a diffuse mode over a large region surrounding massive growing galaxies. Such a mode of star formation can easily be missed by high angular resolution observations that are well suited for detecting high surface brightness compact galaxies. Extrapolating from these results, it is possible that a significant amount of star formation occurs in large extended regions within the halos of the most massive galaxies forming at high redshift.

description: Frequently during its lifetime a human organism is subjected to the acoustical and similar to them vibrating impacts. Under the certain conditions such influence may cause physiological changes in the organs functioning. Thus the study of the oscillatory mechanical impacts to the organism is very important task of the numerical physiology. It allows to investigate the endurance limits of the organism and to develop protective measures in order to extend them. The noise nuisances affects to the most parts of the organism disrupting their functions. The vibrating disturbances caused to the lung function as one of the most sensitive to the acoustical impacts is considered in this work. The model proposed to describe the air motion in trachea-bronchial tree is based on the one dimensional no-linear theory including mass and momentum conservation for the air flow in flexible tubes.

description: We present an approach to studying optical band gaps in real solids in which quantum Monte Carlo methods allow for the application of a rigorous variational principle to both ground and excited state wave functions. In tests that include small, medium, and large band gap materials, optical gaps are predicted with a mean-absolute-deviation of 3.5% against experiment, less than half the equivalent errors for typical many-body perturbation theories. The approach is designed to be insensitive to the choice of density functional, a property we exploit in order to provide insight into how far different functionals are from satisfying the assumptions of many body perturbation theory. We explore this question most deeply in the challenging case of ZnO, where we show that although many commonly used functionals have shortcomings, there does exist a one particle basis in which perturbation theory's zeroth order picture is sound. Insights of this nature should be useful in guiding the future application and improvement of these widely used techniques.

description: Gesture-Based Programming is a paradigm for the evolutionary programming of rapidly deployable manipulation systems by human demonstration. The goal is to provide a more natural environment for the user and to generate more complete and successful programs by focusing on task experts rather than programming experts. What makes it unique from other programming by human demonstration approaches are the same things that make it evolutionary: a composable knowledge base of expertise agents and a facility for supervised practice after initial training. Prior knowledge of previously acquired skills (sensorimotor expertise) facilitates the interpretation of “gestures” during training and then provides closed-loop control of execution during run-time. This paper, part one of two, presents a high-level description of the system as well as descriptions of capabilities we’ve demonstrated on a PUMA robot and Utah/MIT hand. The companion paper provides a detailed account of one method of acquiring, matching, and even transforming sensorimotor expertise.

The Impact of Halo Properties, Energy Feedback and Projection Effects on the Mass-SZ Flux Relation

description: We present a detailed analysis of the intrinsic scatter in the integrated SZ effect - cluster mass (Y-M) relation, using semi-analytic and simulated cluster samples. Specifically, we investigate the impact on the Y-M relation of energy feedback, variations in the host halo concentration and substructure populations, and projection effects due to unresolved clusters along the line of sight (the SZ background). Furthermore, we investigate at what radius (or overdensity) one should measure the integrated SZE and define cluster mass so as to achieve the tightest possible scaling. We find that the measure of Y with the least scatter is always obtained within a smaller radius than that at which the mass is defined; e.g. for M_{200} (M_{500}) the scatter is least for Y_{500} (Y_{1100}). The inclusion of energy feedback in the gas model significantly increases the intrinsic scatter in the Y-M relation due to larger variations in the gas mass fraction compared to models without feedback. We also find that variations in halo concentration for clusters of a given mass may partly explain why the integrated SZE provides a better mass proxy than the central decrement. Substructure is found to account for approximately 20% of the observed scatter in the Y-M relation. Above M_{200} = 2x10^{14} h^{-1} msun, the SZ background does not significantly effect cluster mass measurements; below this mass, variations in the background signal reduce the optimal angular radius within which one should measure Y to achieve the tightest scaling with M_{200}.

description: It has been known for over 30 years that Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are overabundant by orders of magnitude in bright X-ray sources per unit mass relative to the disk population. Recently a quantitative understanding of this phenomenon has developed, with a clear correlation between the number of X-ray sources in a cluster, $N_X$, and the cluster's encounter frequency, $Γ$, becoming apparent. We derive a refined version of $Γ$ that incorporates the finite lifetime of X-ray sources and the dynamical evolution of clusters. With it we find we are able to explain the few clusters that lie off the $N_X$--$Γ$ correlation, and resolve the discrepancy between observed GC core radii and the values predicted by theory. Our results suggest that most GCs are still in the process of core contraction and have not yet reached the thermal equilibrium phase driven by binary scattering interactions.

description: H-NS family proteins encoded on the chromosome of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 (TurA and TurB) and the IncP-7 plasmid pCAR1 (Pmr) commonly have an N-terminal dimerization/oligomerization domain constituted by a central and a terminal dimerization sites. To clarify the dimerization manner at the central dimerization sites of the three homologs, we performed chemical cross-linking analyses with protein variants inactivated at the terminal dimerization site. Comparison of the hetero-dimer ratios among them suggested stronger affinities between the central dimerization sites of TurA and TurB monomers than between TurA and Pmr or TurB and Pmr. Furthermore, analyses of the interaction between truncated TurB containing only a functional terminal dimerization site and full-length proteins suggested that TurB exhibited higher affinities for oligomer complex formation with TurB itself and TurA but not Pmr. Altogether, we revealed stronger interaction between the N-terminal domains of TurA and TurB than between either of them and Pmr. Binding affinities between the chromosomally-encoded H-NS family proteins TurA and TurB were stronger than between either of them and the plasmid-encoded Pmr.

description: Gesture-Based Programming is a paradigm for programming robots by human demonstration in which the human demonstrator directs the self-adaptation of executable software. The goal is to provide a more natural environment for the user as programmer and to generate more complete and successful programs by focusing ontask experts rather thanprogramming experts. We call the paradigm “gesture-based” because we try to enable the system to capture, in real-time, theintention behind the demonstrator’s fleeting, context-dependent hand motions, contact conditions, finger poses, and even cryptic utterances in order to reconfigure itself. The system is self-adaptive in the sense that knowledge of previously acquired skills (sensorimotor expertise) is retained by the system and this knowledge facilitates the interpretation of the gestures during training and then provides feedback control during run-time.

description: Among the multiple steps constituting the kinesin's mechanochemical cycle, one of the most interesting events is observed when kinesins move an 8-nm step from one microtubule (MT)-binding site to another. The stepping motion that occurs within a relatively short time scale (~100 microsec) is, however, beyond the resolution of current experiments, therefore a basic understanding to the real-time dynamics within the 8-nm step is still lacking. For instance, the rate of power stroke (or conformational change), that leads to the undocked-to-docked transition of neck-linker, is not known, and the existence of a substep during the 8-nm step still remains a controversial issue in the kinesin community. By using explicit structures of the kinesin dimer and the MT consisting of 13 protofilaments (PFs), we study the stepping dynamics with varying rates of power stroke (kp). We estimate that 1/kp 20 microsec, the averaged time trace shows a substep that implies the existence of a transient intermediate, which is reminiscent of a recent single molecule experiment at high resolution. We identify the intermediate as a conformation in which the tethered head is trapped in the sideway binding site of the neighboring PF. We also find a partial unfolding (cracking) of the binding motifs occurring at the transition state ensemble along the pathways prior to binding between the kinesin and MT.

description: The problem of robust distributed control arises in several large-scale systems, such as transportation networks and power grid systems. In many practical scenarios controllers might not have enough information to make globally optimal decisions in a tractable way. We propose a novel class of tractable optimization problems whose solution is a controller complying with any specified information structure. The approach we suggest is based on decomposing intractable information constraints into two subspace constraints in the disturbance feedback domain. We discuss how to perform the decomposition in an optimized way. The resulting control policy is globally optimal when a condition known as Quadratic Invariance (QI) holds, whereas it is feasible and it provides a provable upper bound on the minimum cost when QI does not hold. Finally, we show that our method can lead to improved performance guarantees with respect to previous approaches, by applying the developed techniques to the platooning of autonomous vehicles.

description: We investigate a divide-and-conquer technique in multidimensional space which decomposes a geometric problem on N points in k dimensions into two problems on N/2 points in k dimensions plus a single problem on N points in k-1 dimension. Special structure of the subproblems is exploited to obtain an algorithm for finding the two closest of N points in O(N log N) time in any dimension. Related results are discussed, along with some conjectures and unsolved geometric problems.
On factorized Lax pairs for classical many-body integrable systems

description: In this paper we study factorization formulae for the Lax matrices of the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider and Calogero-Moser models. We review the already known results and discuss their possible origins. The first origin comes from the IRF-Vertex relations and the properties of the intertwining matrices. The second origin is based on the Schlesinger transformations generated by modifications of underlying vector bundles. We show that both approaches provide explicit formulae for $M$-matrices of the integrable systems in terms of the intertwining matrices (and/or modification matrices). In the end we discuss the Calogero-Moser models related to classical root systems. The factorization formulae are proposed for a number of special cases.

"Abstract.txt" of "Search for an exotic decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a pseudoscalar particle in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV"
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: HEPData

description: Original abstract file
description: A search for an exotic decay of the Higgs boson to a Z boson and a light pseudoscalar particle (a), decaying to a pair of leptons and a pair of photons, respectively, is presented. The search is based on proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The analysis probes pseudoscalar masses $m_{a}$ between 1 and 30 GeV, leading to two pairs of well-isolated leptons and photons. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the Higgs boson production cross section times its branching fraction to two leptons and two photons. The observed (expected) limits are in the range of 1.1-17.8 (1.7-17.9) fb within the probed $m_{a}$ interval. An excess of data above the expected standard model background with a local (global) significance of 2.6 (1.3) standard deviations is observed for a mass hypothesis of $m_{a}$ = 3 GeV. Limits on models involving axion-like particles, formulated as an effective field theory, are also reported.

description: We develop optimal algorithms for forming the intersection of geometric objects in the plane and apply them to such diverse problems as linear programming, hidden-line elimination, and wire layout. Given N line segments in the plane, finding all intersecting pairs requires O(N2) time. We give an O(N log N) algorithm to determine whether any two intersect and use i t to detect whether two simple plane polygons intersect. We employ an O(N log N) algorithm for finding the common intersection of N half-planes to show that the Simplex method is not optimal. The emphasis throughout i s On obtaining upper and lower bounds and relating these results to other problems in computational geometry.
An efficient explicit full-discrete scheme for strong approximation of stochastic Allen-Cahn equation

description: In Becker and Jentzen (2019) and Becker et al. (2017), an explicit temporal semi-discretization scheme and a space-time full-discretization scheme were, respectively, introduced and analyzed for the additive noise-driven stochastic Allen-Cahn type equations, with strong convergence rates recovered. The present work aims to propose a different explicit full-discrete scheme to numerically solve the stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with cubic nonlinearity, perturbed by additive space-time white noise. The approximation is easily implementable, performing the spatial discretization by a spectral Galerkin method and the temporal discretization by a kind of nonlinearity-tamed accelerated exponential integrator scheme. Error bounds in a strong sense are analyzed for both the spatial semi-discretization and the spatio-temporal full discretization, with convergence rates in both space and time explicitly identified. It turns out that the obtained convergence rate of the new scheme is, in the temporal direction, twice as high as existing ones in the literature. Numerical results are finally reported to confirm the previous theoretical findings.

description: Distinguishing between the capacity of ecosystems to generate ecosystem services (ES) and the actual use of these service (ES flow) in ES assessment and mapping is important to develop an understanding of the sustainability of ES use. This study assesses the spatial variation in ES capacity and flow in the Mediterranean small island state of Malta. The services included in this study were crop provisioning, beekeeping and honey production, fodder and livestock production, crop pollination, air quality regulation, and aesthetic ES. This assessment develops different spatial models, which make use of available datasets, causal relationships between datasets, including a generated land use land cover (LULC) map, and statistical models and indicators based on direct measurements. Individual ES indicators were mapped to visualise and compare their spatial patterns across the case study area. Subsequently, an analysis of ES associations and bundles was carried out using Pearson parametric correlation test, for both ES capacity and flow indicators generated from this study, and through Principal Component Analysis. Results demonstrate several significant synergistic interactions between ES capacity and flow in rural landscapes characterised with agricultural and semi-natural LULC categories, indicating high landscape multifunctionality. In contrast, predominantly urban areas tend to be characterised with a low ecosystem capacity and ES flow, suggesting that ES delivery in the landscapes of the study area is determined by land use intensity. These findings support the notion that multifunctional rural landscapes provide multiple ES, making an important contribution to human well-being, and that land use planning that develops green infrastructure in urban areas can significantly contribute to support biodiversity and ES delivery.
