Frequency Analysis and Sheared Filtering for Multidimensional Effects in Rendering
Creators: Egan, Kevin Tyler
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Computer science

description: Many of the most expensive effects in rendering are those that require integrating complex multidimensional signals. Computation for a single pixel can require hundreds of samples, and standard methods do not provide a mathematically sound way to share samples between pixels with overlapping integrands. This thesis first analyzes the underlying signals for motion blur and occlusion and identifies the sparse structure of these signals in the Fourier domain. We then leverage this information to design a sheared filter that is customized to each pixel's frequency content. We finally present practical algorithms that share samples between pixels, reduce sampling requirements by an order of magnitude, and provide significant speedups for many of the most expensive computations in computer graphics.

description: Usability testing is a fundamental yet challenging (e.g., inflexible to iterate the study design flaws and hard to recruit study participants) research method for user experience (UX) researchers to evaluate a web design. Recent advances in Large Language Model-simulated Agent (LLM-Agent) research inspired us to design UXAgent to support UX researchers in evaluating and reiterating their usability testing study design before they conduct the real human subject study. Our system features an LLM-Agent module and a universal browser connector module so that UX researchers can automatically generate thousands of simulated users to test the target website. The results are shown in qualitative (e.g., interviewing how an agent thinks ), quantitative (e.g., # of actions), and video recording formats for UX researchers to analyze. Through a heuristic user evaluation with five UX researchers, participants praised the innovation of our system but also expressed concerns about the future of LLM Agent-assisted UX study.

description: We present measurements of temperature dependence of photoluminescence intensity from monolayer MoS2 encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) flakes. The obtained temperature dependence shows an opposite trend to that of previously observed in a monolayer MoS2 on a SiO2 substrate. Ab-initio bandstructure calculations have revealed that monolayer MoS2 encapsulated by hBN flakes have no longer a direct-gap semiconductor but an indirect-gap semiconductor. This is caused by orbital hybridization between MoS2 and hBN, which leads to upward shift of gamma-valley of MoS2. This work shows an important implication that the hBN-encapsulated structures used to address intrinsic properties of two-dimensional crystals can alter basic properties encapsulated materials.

Reidemeister Torsion of 3-Dimensional Euler Structures with Simple Boundary Tangency and Legendrian Knots

description: We generalize Turaev's definition of torsion invariants of pairs $(M,ξ)$, where $M$ is a 3-dimensional manifold and $ξ$ is an Euler structure on $M$ (a non-singular vector field up to homotopy relative to the boundary of $M$ and local modifications in the interior of $M$). Namely, we allow $M$ to have arbitrary boundary and $ξ$ to have simple (convex and/or concave) tangency circles to the boundary. We prove that Turaev's $H_1(M)$-equivariance formula holds also in our generalized context. Our torsions apply in particular to (the exterior of) Legendrian links (in particular, knots) in contact 3-manifolds, and we prove that they can distinguish knots which are isotopic as framed knots but not as Legendrian knots. Using the combinatorial encoding of vector fields based on branched standard spines we show how to explicitly invert Turaev's reconstruction map from combinatorial to smooth Euler structures, thus making the computation of torsions a more effective one. As an example we work out a specific computation.

description: The dilute A_3 model is a solvable IRF (interaction round a face) model with three local states and adjacency conditions encoded by the Dynkin diagram of the Lie algebra A_3. It can be regarded as a solvable version of an Ising model at the critical temperature in a magnetic field. One therefore expects the scaling limit to be governed by Zamolodchikov's integrable perturbation of the c=1/2 conformal field theory. Indeed, a recent thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz approach succeeded to unveil the corresponding E_8 structure under certain assumptions on the nature of the Bethe Ansatz solutions. In order to check these conjectures, we perform a detailed numerical investigation of the solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations for the critical and off-critical model. Scaling functions for the ground-state corrections and for the lowest spectral gaps are obtained, which give very precise numerical results for the lowest mass ratios in the massive scaling limit. While these agree perfectly with the E_8 mass ratios, we observe one state which seems to violate the assumptions underlying the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz calculation. We also analyze the critical spectrum of the dilute A_3 model, which exhibits massive excitations on top of the massless states of the Ising conformal field theory.

description: To study the time decay laws (tdl) of quasibounded hamiltonian systems we have considered two finite potential wells with oscillating walls filled by non interacting particles. We show that the tdl can be qualitatively different for different movement of the oscillating wall at classical level according to the characteristic of trapped periodic orbits. However, the quantum dynamics do not show such differences.

description: We construct a dynamical decoupling protocol for accurately generating local and global symmetries in general many-body systems. Multiple commuting and non-commuting symmetries can be created by means of a self-similar-in-time ("polyfractal") drive. The result is an effective Floquet Hamiltonian that remains local and avoids heating over exponentially long times. This approach can be used to realize a wide variety of quantum models, and non-equilibrium quantum phases.

description: We can achieve fast and consistent early skin cancer detection with recent developments in computer vision and deep learning techniques. However, the existing skin lesion segmentation and classification prediction models run independently, thus missing potential efficiencies from their integrated execution. To unify skin lesion analysis, our paper presents the Gaussian Splatting - Transformer UNet (GS-TransUNet), a novel approach that synergistically combines 2D Gaussian splatting with the Transformer UNet architecture for automated skin cancer diagnosis. Our unified deep learning model efficiently delivers dual-function skin lesion classification and segmentation for clinical diagnosis. Evaluated on ISIC-2017 and PH2 datasets, our network demonstrates superior performance compared to existing state-of-the-art models across multiple metrics through 5-fold cross-validation. Our findings illustrate significant advancements in the precision of segmentation and classification. This integration sets new benchmarks in the field and highlights the potential for further research into multi-task medical image analysis methodologies, promising enhancements in automated diagnostic systems.

We show that at zero temperature they can be written simply in terms of contour integrals over a (two-dimensional) hyperelliptic curve. This allows one to easily demonstrate the existence of weak-coupling to strong-coupling dualities. In the Kondo problem, the curve is the same for under- and over-screened cases; the only change is in the contour.

Fluctuations in the Irreversible Decay of Turbulent Energy
Creators: name: Eyink, Gregory L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A fluctuation law of the energy in freely-decaying, homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is derived within standard closure hypotheses for 3D incompressible flow. In particular, a fluctuation-dissipation relation is derived which relates the strength of a stochastic backscatter term in the energy decay equation to the mean of the energy dissipation rate. The theory is based on the so-called ``effective action'' of the energy history and illustrates a Rayleigh-Ritz method recently developed to evaluate the effective action approximately within probability density-function (PDF) closures. These effective actions generalize the Onsager-Machlup action of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics to turbulent flow. They yield detailed, concrete predictions for fluctuations, such as multi-time correlation functions of arbitrary order, which cannot be obtained by direct PDF methods. They also characterize the mean histories by a variational principle.

Withdrawal Success Optimization

Subjects: subject: Portfolio Management (q-fin.PM)

description: For $n$ assets and discrete-time rebalancing, the probability to complete a given schedule of investments and withdrawals is maximized over progressively measurable portfolio weight functions. Applications consider two assets, namely the S&P Composite Index and an inflation-protected bond. The maximum probability and optimal portfolio weight functions are computed for annually rebalanced schedules involving an arbitrary initial investment and then equal annual withdrawals over the remainder of the time period. Applications also consider annually rebalanced schedules that start with dollar cost averaging (equal annual investments) and then shift to equal annual withdrawals. Results indicate noticeable improvements in the probability to complete a given schedule when optimal portfolio weights are used instead of constant portfolio weights like the standard of keeping 90% in the S&P Composite Index and 10% in inflation-protected bonds.
On the convergence of nuclear effective field theory with perturbative pions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The classic paper by Fleming, Mehen and Stewart cast doubts on the convergence of spin-triplet nucleon-nucleon partial wave scattering amplitudes when following the proposal of Kaplan, Savage and Wise to construct nuclear effective field theory around the unitary fermion limit with perturbative pion exchange. FMS identified the subclass of iterated one-pion exchange potential graphs as the cause of this poor convergence, which they showed persisted in the chiral limit. Theoretical tools are developed here to compute these Feynman graphs analytically to high order in all angular momentum channels simultaneously, examining the amplitudes computed to seven loops in the $L=J$ channels, and three loops in the coupled $L=J\pm1$ channels. One finds that there is nothing pathological about the perturbative expansion of a $1/r^3$ potential in general, and that the expansion converges satisfactorily in all partial waves except those with the lowest angular momentum, particularly the ${}^3P_0$ and the coupled ${}^3S_1-{}^3D_1$ channels. The results corroborate work by Birse, which suggests possible avenues to explore for improving the range of validity of the EFT expansion.
description: This revision aligns with the published version and includes a discussion of related work from atomic physics which has allows for a nonperturbative estimate of the radius of convergence of the KSW expansion in each partial wave, which is shown to agree well with the perturbative results computed here. 32 pages, 11 figures

description: We propose a graph theoretic approach to determine trace of product of two permutation matrices through a weighted digraph representation of the permutation matrices. Consequently, we derive trace-zero doubly stochastic (DS) matrices of order $5$ whose $k$-th power is also a trace-zero DS matrix for $k\in\{2,3,4,5\}$. Then, we determine necessary conditions for the coefficients of a generic polynomial of degree $5$ to be realizable as the characteristic polynomial of a trace-zero DS matrix of order $5$. Finally, we approximate the eigenvalue region of trace-zero DS matrices of order $5.$

The Simulation Semantics of Synthesisable Verilog
Creators: name: Lööw, Andreas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Despite numerous previous formalisation projects targeting Verilog, the semantics of Verilog defined by the Verilog standard -- Verilog's simulation semantics -- has thus far eluded definitive mathematical formalisation. Previous projects on formalising the semantics have made good progress but no previous project provides a formalisation that can be used to execute or formally reason about real-world hardware designs. In this paper, we show that the reason for this is that the Verilog standard is inconsistent both with Verilog practice and itself. We pinpoint a series of problems in the Verilog standard that we have identified in how the standard defines the semantics of the subset of Verilog used to describe hardware designs, that is, the synthesisable subset of Verilog. We show how the most complete Verilog formalisation to date inherits these problems and how, after we repair these problems in an executable implementation of the formalisation, the repaired implementation can be used to execute real-world hardware designs. The existing formalisation together with the repairs hence constitute the first formalisation of Verilog's simulation semantics compatible with real-world hardware designs. Additionally, to make the results of this paper accessible to a wider (nonmathematical) audience, we provide a visual formalisation of Verilog's simulation semantics.

Frequent Users of Services in New York City: Investigating Antecedent Factors, Life Experiences, and Triggers Associated with Cycles of Homelessness and Incarceration

description: This research investigates the antecedent factors and triggers of frequent episodes of homelessness and incarceration among individuals in New York City. Prior studies have shown a high rate of homelessness among formerly incarcerated individuals and, conversely, a high rate of incarceration among homeless individuals. In New York City, as many as one in five inmates was homeless immediately prior to incarceration and many return to homelessness upon discharge. Individuals who cycle between homeless shelters and jails and prisons have distinct social and health service needs. Improved knowledge of the factors and experiences associated with entrance into the cycle of homelessness and incarceration may improve the delivery and efficacy of services to help prevent and break the cycle. This research consists of a secondary analysis of data derived from the Housing and Services Evaluation (HASE) study of frequent users of New York City homeless shelters and jails. Qualitative and quantitative analysis was used to address the following aims: The first aim was to examine risk factors antecedent to homelessness and incarceration by investigating individual-level characteristics including demographics, clinical conditions, human capital, and social ties. The second was to investigate negative life experiences that appear to increase vulnerability of experiencing frequent homelessness and incarceration. The third aim was to examine proximal events that trigger the initial episode of homelessness. Results showed high rates of limited human capital, limited family networks, chronic health conditions, mental illness, substance abuse, and negative experiences in childhood and adolescence. Analysis of narrative responses identified events that commonly trigger homelessness, including involvement with the criminal justice system, interpersonal conflict, change in household composition, being "kicked out" of shared housing, and employment or other economic problems.

description: In this paper we introduce a novel family of Markov chains on the simple representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in defining characteristic, defined by tensoring with a fixed simple module and choosing an indecomposable non-projective summand. We show these chains are reversible and find their connected components and their stationary distributions. We draw connections between the properties of the chain and the representation theory of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$, emphasising symmetries of the tensor product. We also provide an elementary proof of the decomposition of tensor products of simple $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$-representations.

Friend in Need: A Contingency Model of Social Support Networks and Health Status

description: Social support networks have been shown to be related to the health status of various groups of people, when measured in different ways and under different circumstances. Yet, there have been few comparisons of this relationship across population groups. Therefore the purpose of this study was to compare the ways that social support networks relate to the health status of different population groups.

The study used data that was collected in Wave I of the National Survey of Personal Health Practices and Consequences in 1979, in telephone interviews with 3025 persons aged 20-64 residing in households with telephones. Ten target groups were selected for study--those with high stress jobs, the unemployed, the aged, the widowed, the bereaved, the disabled, those who had recently experienced serious illness or injury, the poor, those with negative status inconsistency, and single parents.

It was found that there was no uniform pattern in the way that social networks relate to health status, but rather different elements of social networks related to the health status of members of different target groups. These relationships were fairly consistent regardless of which of two health status measures were employed--self-rated health status and composite health status. And social networks were more strongly related to the health status of target group members than they were to the health of the general population.

Existing theories regarding the ability of social networks to predict health status are explored, in an attempt to explain the findings of this study. As they prove inadequate, a new model is proposed, in which the needs of various groups are seen as determining which social network elements will be able to modify health status. That is to say, the success of social networks in maintaining health is contingent upon a proper fit between social networks, individual needs and health status.

The implications of the study for social work practice and policy center around the importance of specificity in relating networks to health. In addition, avenues for future research are explored, especially in designing studies to specifically test the proposed model.
Thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the Kerr-AdS black hole

description: We investigate the laws of thermodynamics and weak cosmic censorship conjecture in the normal and extended phase space of a Kerr-AdS black hole by analyzing the energy-momentum relation of the absorbed fermion dropping into the horizon. In the normal phase space, the first law, second law as well as the weak cosmic censorship conjecture are found to be valid in all the initial states of the black hole. However, in the extended phase space, although the first law and weak cosmic censorship conjecture are still valid, the second law becomes more subtle. We find that the validity or violation of the second law depends on the spin parameter, the radius of the AdS spacetime, and their variations. In addition, in the extended phase space, the configurations of the extremal and near-extremal Kerr-AdS black holes are unchanged as the fermions are absorbed since the final and initial states are the same.

description: Ab-initio Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations of nuclei from deuterium to 40Ca, obtained using four different phenomenological and local chiral nuclear potentials, are analyzed using the Generalized Contact Formalism (GCF). We extract spin- and isospin-dependent "nuclear contact terms" for each interaction in both coordinate and momentum space. The extracted contact terms, that count the number of short-range correlated (SRC) pairs with different quantum numbers, are dependent on the nuclear interaction model used in the QMC calculation. However, the ratios of contact terms for a nucleus A to deuterium (for spin-1 pn pairs) or to 4He (for all NN pairs) are independent of the nuclear interaction model and are the same for both short-distance and high-momentum pairs. This implies that the relative abundance of short-range pairs in the nucleus is a long-range (mean-field) quantity that is insensitive to the short-distance nature of the nuclear force. Measurements of exclusive (e,e'NN) pair breakup processes are instead more sensitive to short-range dynamics

description: A new class of automata networks is defined. Their evolution rules are determined by a probability measure p on the set of all integers Z and an indicator function I_A on the interval [0,1]. It is shown that any cellular automaton rule can be represented by a (nonunique) rule formulated in terms of a pair (p,I_A). This new class of automata networks contains discrete systems which are not cellular automata. Some of their properties are discussed.

GPU based parallel genetic algorithm for solving an energy efficient dynamic flexible flow shop scheduling problem

description: Due to new government legislation, customers' environmental concerns and continuously rising cost of energy, energy efficiency is becoming an essential parameter of industrial manufacturing processes in recent years. Most efforts considering energy issues in scheduling problems have focused on static scheduling. But in fact, scheduling problems are dynamic in the real world with uncertain new arrival jobs after the execution time. This paper proposes a dynamic energy efficient flexible flow shop scheduling model using peak power value with the consideration of new arrival jobs. As the problem is strongly NP-hard, a priority based hybrid parallel Genetic Algorithm with a predictive reactive complete rescheduling approach is developed. In order to achieve a speedup to meet the short response in the dynamic environment, the proposed method is designed to be highly consistent with NVIDIA CUDA software model. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted and show that our approach can not only achieve better performance than the traditional static approach, but also gain competitive results by reducing the time requirements dramatically.

description: We prove an abstract compactness theorem for a family of generalized Seiberg-Witten equations in dimension three. This result recovers Taubes' compactness theorem for stable flat $\mathbf{P}\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbf{C})$-connections as well as the compactness theorem for Seiberg-Witten equations with multiple spinors. Furthermore, this result implies a compactness theorem for the ADHM$_{1,2}$ Seiberg-Witten equation, which partially verifies a conjecture by Doan and Walpuski.

description: We reconsider the percolation approach of Russo, Aizenman and Higuchi for showing that there exist only two phases in the Ising model on the square lattice. We give a fairly short alternative proof which is only based on FKG monotonicity and avoids the use of GKS-type inequalities originally needed for some background results. Our proof extends to the Ising model on other planar lattices such as the triangular and honeycomb lattice. We can also treat the Ising antiferromagnet in an external field and the hard-core lattice gas model on $Z^2$.
