An Extended Kalman Filter with a Computed Mean Square Error Bound
Creators: name: Hexner, Gyorgy

description: The paper proposes a new recursive filter for non-linear systems that inherently computes a valid bound on the mean square estimation error. The proposed filter, bound based extended Kalman, (BEKF) is in the form of an extended Kalman filter. The main difference of the proposed filter from the conventional extended Kalman filter is in the use of a computed mean square error bound matrix, to calculate the filter gain, and to serve as bound on the actual mean square error. The paper shows that when the system is linear the proposed filtering algorithm reduces to the conventional Kalman filter. The theory presented in the paper is applicable to a wide class of systems, but if the system is polynomial, then the recently developed theory of positive polynomials considerably simplifies the filter's implementation.

description: The emergence of a new, open, and free instruction set architecture, RISC-V, has heralded a new era in microprocessor architectures. Starting with low-power, low-performance prototypes, the RISC-V community has a good chance of moving towards fully functional high-end microprocessors suitable for high-performance computing. Achieving progress in this direction requires comprehensive development of the software environment, namely operating systems, compilers, mathematical libraries, and approaches to performance analysis and optimization. In this paper, we analyze the performance of two available RISC-V devices when executing three memory-bound applications: a widely used STREAM benchmark, an in-place dense matrix transposition algorithm, and a Gaussian Blur algorithm. We show that, compared to x86 and ARM CPUs, RISC-V devices are still expected to be inferior in terms of computation time but are very good in resource utilization. We also demonstrate that well-developed memory optimization techniques for x86 CPUs improve the performance on RISC-V CPUs. Overall, the paper shows the potential of RISC-V as an alternative architecture for high-performance computing.

description: We consider the role of potential scatterers in the nematic phase of Fe-based superconductors above the transition temperature to the (pi,0) magnetic state but below the orthorhombic structural transition. The anisotropic spin fluctuations in this region can be frozen by disorder, to create elongated magnetic droplets whose anisotropy grows as the magnetic transition is approached. Such states act as strong anisotropic defect potentials which scatter with much higher probability perpendicular to their length than parallel, although the actual crystal symmetry breaking is tiny. We calculate the scattering potentials, relaxation rates, and conductivity in this region, and show that such emergent defect states are essential for the transport anisotropy observed in experiments.

description: We consider the twistor description of classical self-dual Einstein gravity in the presence of a defect operator wrapping a certain $\mathbb{CP}^1$. The backreaction of this defect deforms the flat twistor space to that of Eguchi-Hanson space. We show that the celestial chiral algebra of self-dual gravity on the Eguchi-Hanson background is likewise deformed to become the loop algebra of a certain scaling limit of the family of $W(μ)$-algebras, where the scaling limit is controlled by the radius of the Eguchi-Hanson core. We construct this algebra by computing the Poisson algebra of holomorphic functions on the deformed twistor space, and check this result with a space-time calculation of the leading contribution to the gravitational splitting function. The loop algebra of a general $W(μ)$-algebra (away from the scaling limit) similarly arises as the celestial chiral algebra of Moyal-deformed self-dual gravity on Eguchi-Hanson space. We also obtain corresponding results for self-dual Yang-Mills.

Optical Analysis and Modeling of HD96670, a new Black Hole X-ray Binary Candidate

description: We report on optical observations and modeling of HD96670, a single-line spectroscopic binary in the Carina OB2 association. We collected 10 epochs of optical spectroscopy, and optical photometry on 17 non-consecutive nights on the source. We construct a radial velocity curve from the spectra, and update the orbital period of the binary to be $P = 5.28388 \pm 0.00046$ days. The spectra show oxygen and helium absorption, consistent with an O-type primary. We see no evidence for spectral lines from the secondary star in the binary. We model the optical light curve and radial velocity curve simultaneously using the Wilson-Devinney code and find a best fit mass of $M_1 = 22.7^{+5.2}_{-3.6} M_\odot$ for the primary, and $M_2 = 6.2^{+0.9}_{-0.7} M_\odot$ for the secondary. An object of this mass is consistent with either a B-type star, or a black hole. Given that we see no absorption lines from the secondary, in combination with an observed hard power-law X-ray spectrum with $Γ= 2.6$ detected past 10 keV, maybe produced by wind accretion onto the secondary, we conclude that the secondary is most likely a black hole. We see asymmetrical helium lines with a shape consistent with the presence of a third star. If the secondary is indeed a black hole, this system would add to the small sample of only four possible black hole high mass X-ray binaries in the galaxy.

description: We study the dynamics of disentanglement of two qubits initially prepared in a Bell state and coupled at different sites to an Ising transverse field spin chain (ITF) playing the role of a dynamic spin environment. The initial state of the whole system is prepared into a tensor product state $ρ_{Bell}\otimes ρ_{chain}$ where the state of the chain is taken to be given by the ground state $|G(λ_i)\rangle$ of the ITF Hamiltonian $H_E(λ_i)$ with an initial field $λ_i$. At time $t=0^+$, the strength of the transverse field is suddenly quenched to a new value $λ_f$ and the whole system (chain $+$ qubits) undergoes a unitary dynamics generated by the total Hamiltonian $H_{Tot}=H_E(λ_f) + H_I$ where $H_I$ describes a local interaction between the qubits and the spin chain. The resulting dynamics leads to a disentanglement of the qubits, which is described through the Wooter's Concurrence, due to there interaction with the non-equilibrium environment. The concurrence is related to the Loschmidt echo which in turn is expressed in terms of the time-dependent covariance matrix associated to the ITF. This permits a precise numerical and analytical analysis of the disentanglement dynamics of the qubits as a function of their distance, bath properties and quench amplitude. In particular we emphasize the special role played by a critical initial environment.

description: We investigate the formation of large peaks in the inflationary curvature power spectrum from double-well potentials. In such scenarios, the initial CMB spectrum is created at large field values. Subsequently, the inflaton will cross one of the minima and will decelerate rapidly as it reaches the local maximum at the origin, either falling back or crossing it. During this final phase, a significant peak in the curvature power spectrum can be generated. Our analysis reveals that this class of models produces more pronounced peaks than the more commonly studied quasi-inflection point scenarios with less tuning for the model parameters. Finally, we construct an explicit theoretically motivated inflationary scenario that is consistent with the latest CMB observations and capable of generating sufficiently large curvature perturbations for primordial black holes.

description: We propose a new method for conducting Bayesian prediction that delivers accurate predictions without correctly specifying the unknown true data generating process. A prior is defined over a class of plausible predictive models. After observing data, we update the prior to a posterior over these models, via a criterion that captures a user-specified measure of predictive accuracy. Under regularity, this update yields posterior concentration onto the element of the predictive class that maximizes the expectation of the accuracy measure. In a series of simulation experiments and empirical examples we find notable gains in predictive accuracy relative to conventional likelihood-based prediction.

description: This paper studies networked control systems closed over noiseless digital channels. By focusing on noisy LTI plants with scalar-valued control inputs and sensor outputs, we derive an absolute lower bound on the minimal average data rate that allows one to achieve a prescribed level of stationary performance under Gaussianity assumptions. We also present a simple coding scheme that allows one to achieve average data rates that are at most 1.254 bits away from the derived lower bound, while satisfying the performance constraint. Our results are given in terms of the solution to a stationary signal-to-noise ratio minimization problem and builds upon a recently proposed framework to deal with average data rate constraints in feedback systems. A numerical example is presented to illustrate our findings.

description: Generalization beyond in-domain experience to out-of-distribution data is of paramount significance in the AI domain. Of late, state-of-the-art Visual Question Answering (VQA) models have shown impressive performance on in-domain data, partially due to the language priors bias which, however, hinders the generalization ability in practice. This paper attempts to provide new insights into the influence of language modality on VQA performance from an empirical study perspective. To achieve this, we conducted a series of experiments on six models. The results of these experiments revealed that, 1) apart from prior bias caused by question types, there is a notable influence of postfix-related bias in inducing biases, and 2) training VQA models with word-sequence-related variant questions demonstrated improved performance on the out-of-distribution benchmark, and the LXMERT even achieved a 10-point gain without adopting any debiasing methods. We delved into the underlying reasons behind these experimental results and put forward some simple proposals to reduce the models' dependency on language priors. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed method in improving performance on the out-of-distribution benchmark, VQA-CPv2. We hope this study can inspire novel insights for future research on designing bias-reduction approaches.

description: The tunability of the optical properties of lead halide perovskite nanocrystals makes them highly appealing for applications. Both, halide anion exchange and quantum confinement pave the way for tailoring their band gap energy. For spintronics applications, the Landé g-factors of electrons and hole are of great importance. By means of the empirical tight-binding and $\textbf{k}\cdot\textbf{p}$ methods, we calculate them for nanocrystals of the class of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites CsPb$X_3$ ($X = \text{I},\,\text{Br},\,\text{Cl}$). The hole g-factor as function of the band gap follows the universal dependence found for bulk perovskites, while for the electrons a considerable modification is predicted. Based on the $\textbf{k}\cdot\textbf{p}$ analysis we conclude that this difference arises from the interaction of the bottom conduction band with the spin-orbit split electron states. The model predictions are confirmed by experimental data for the electron and hole g-factors in CsPbI3 nanocrystals placed in a glass matrix, measured by time-resolved Faraday ellipticity in a magnetic field at cryogenic temperatures.

description: The aim of this note is to provide a thinking road-map and a practical guide to researchers and practitioners working on hierarchical forecasting problems. Evaluating the performance of hierarchical forecasts comes with new challenges stemming from both the statistical structure of the hierarchy and the application context.

description: In this work we study the ice-water interface under coexistence conditions by means of molecular simulations using the TIP4P/2005 water model. Following the methodology proposed by Hoyt and co-workers [J. J. Hoyt, M. Asta and A. Karma, Phys. Rev. Lett., 86, 5530, (2001)] we measure the interfacial free energy of ice with liquid water by analysing the spectrum of capillary fluctuations of the interface. We get an orientationally averaged interfacial free energy of 27(2) mN/m, in good agreement with a recent estimate obtained from simulation data of the size of critical clusters [E. Sanz, C. Vega, J. R. Espinosa, R. Caballero-Bernal, J. L. F. Abascal and C. Valeriani, JACS, 135, 15008, (2013)]. We also estimate the interfacial free energy of different planes and obtain 27(2), 28(2)and 28(2) mN/m for the basal, the primary prismatic and the secondary prismatic planes respectively. Finally, we inspect the structure of the interface and find that its thickness is of approximately 4-5 molecular diameters. Moreover, we find that when the basal plane is exposed to the fluid the interface alternates regions of cubic ice with regions of hexagonal ice.

description: We treat the problem of client selection in a Federated Learning (FL) setup, where the learning objective and the local incentives of the participants are used to formulate a goal-oriented communication problem. Specifically, we incorporate the risk-averse nature of participants and obtain a communication-efficient on-device performance, while relying on feedback from the Parameter Server (\texttt{PS}). A client has to decide its transmission plan on when not to participate in FL. This is based on its intrinsic incentive, which is the value of the trained global model upon participation by this client. Poor updates not only plunge the performance of the global model with added communication cost but also propagate the loss in performance on other participating devices. We cast the relevance of local updates as \emph{semantic information} for developing local transmission strategies, i.e., making a decision on when to ``not transmit". The devices use feedback about the state of the PS and evaluate their contributions in training the learning model in each aggregation period, which eventually lowers the number of occupied connections. Simulation results validate the efficacy of our proposed approach, with up to $1.4\times$ gain in communication links utilization as compared with the baselines.

description: Due to advances in sensors, growing large and complex medical image data have the ability to visualize the pathological change in the cellular or even the molecular level or anatomical changes in tissues and organs. As a consequence, the medical images have the potential to enhance diagnosis of disease, prediction of clinical outcomes, characterization of disease progression, management of health care and development of treatments, but also pose great methodological and computational challenges for representation and selection of features in image cluster analysis. To address these challenges, we first extend one dimensional functional principal component analysis to the two dimensional functional principle component analyses (2DFPCA) to fully capture space variation of image signals. Image signals contain a large number of redundant and irrelevant features which provide no additional or no useful information for cluster analysis. Widely used methods for removing redundant and irrelevant features are sparse clustering algorithms using a lasso-type penalty to select the features. However, the accuracy of clustering using a lasso-type penalty depends on how to select penalty parameters and a threshold for selecting features. In practice, they are difficult to determine. Recently, randomized algorithms have received a great deal of attention in big data analysis. This paper presents a randomized algorithm for accurate feature selection in image cluster analysis. The proposed method is applied to ovarian and kidney cancer histology image data from the TCGA database. The results demonstrate that the randomized feature selection method coupled with functional principal component analysis substantially outperforms the current sparse clustering algorithms in image cluster analysis.

Lower bounds for ballistic current and noise in non-equilibrium quantum steady states

description: Let an infinite, homogeneous, many-body quantum system be unitarily evolved for a long time from a state where two halves are independently thermalized. One says that a non-equilibrium steady state emerges if there are nonzero steady currents in the central region. In particular, their presence is a signature of ballistic transport. We analyze the consequences of the current observable being a conserved density; near equilibrium this is known to give rise to linear wave propagation and a nonzero Drude peak. Using the Lieb-Robinson bound, we derive, under a certain regularity condition, a lower bound for the non-equilibrium steady-state current determined by equilibrium averages. This shows and quantifies the presence of ballistic transport far from equilibrium. The inequality suggests the definition of "nonlinear sound velocities", which specialize to the sound velocity near equilibrium in non-integrable models, and "generalized sound velocities", which encode generalized Gibbs thermalization in integrable models. These are bounded by the Lieb-Robinson velocity. The inequality also gives rise to a bound on the energy current noise in the case of pure energy transport. We show that the inequality is satisfied in many models where exact results are available, and that it is saturated at one-dimensional criticality.

description: The duration distribution of long Gamma Ray Bursts reveals a plateau at durations shorter than ~20 s (in the observer frame) and a power-law decline at longer durations (Bromberg et al., 2012). Such a plateau arises naturally in the Collapsar model. In this model the engine has to operate long enough to push the jet out of the stellar envelope and the observed duration of the burst is the difference between the engine's operation time and the jet breakout time. We compare the jet breakout time inferred from the duration distribution (~10 s in the burst's frame) to the breakout time of a hydrodynamic jet (~10 s for typical parameters) and of a Poynting flux dominated jet with the same overall energy (

description: Many stellar models present difficulties in reproducing basic observational relations of very low mass stars (VLMS), including the mass--radius relation and the optical colour--magnitudes of cool dwarfs. Here, we improve PARSEC models on these points. We implement the T--tau relations from PHOENIX BT-Settl model atmospheres as the outer boundary conditions in the PARSEC code, finding that this change alone reduces the discrepancy in the mass--radius relation from 8 to 5 per cent. We compare the models with multi--band photometry of clusters Praesepe and M67, showing that the use of T--tau relations clearly improves the description of the optical colours and magnitudes. But anyway, using both Kurucz and PHOENIX model spectra, model colours are still systematically fainter and bluer than the observations. We then apply a shift to the above T--tau relations, increasing from 0 at T_eff = 4730 K to ~14% at T_eff = 3160 K, to reproduce the observed mass--radius radius relation of dwarf stars. Taking this experiment as a calibration of the T--tau relations, we can reproduce the optical and near infrared CMDs of low mass stars in the old metal--poor globular clusters NGC6397 and 47Tuc, and in the intermediate--age and young solar--metallicity open clusters M67 and Praesepe. Thus, we extend PARSEC models using this calibration, providing VLMS models more suitable for the lower main sequence stars over a wide range of metallicities and wavelengths. Both sets of models are available on PARSEC webpage.

description: Cosmic string cusps are sources of short-lived, linearly polarised gravitational wave bursts which can be searched for in gravitational wave detectors. We assess the capability of LISA to detect these bursts using the latest LISA configuration and operational assumptions. For such short bursts, we verify that LISA can be considered as ``frozen", namely that one can neglect LISA's orbital motion. We consider two models for the network of cosmic string loops, and estimate that LISA should be able to detect 4-30 bursts per year assuming a string tension $Gμ\approx 10^{-10.6} - 10^{-10.1}$ and detection threshold $\rm{SNR} \ge 20$. Non-detection of these bursts would constrain the string tension to $Gμ\lesssim 10^{-11}$ for both models.

Alpha-Meteoroids then and now: Unearthing an overlooked micrometeoroid population
Creators: name: Sommer, Maximilian
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The term `$α$-meteoroid' was introduced to describe a group of micrometeoroids with certain dynamical properties, which -- alongside the group of the $β$-meteoroids -- had been identified by the first generation of reliable in-situ dust detectors in interplanetary space. In recent years, use of the term $α$-meteoroid has become more frequent again, under a subtly but crucially altered definition. This work shall bring attention to the discrepancy between the term's original and newly established meaning, and spotlight the now-overlooked group of particles that the term used to describe. We review past and present pertinent literature around the term $α$-meteoroid, and assess the dynamics of the originally referred-to particles with respect to possible sources, showing that their formation is the expected consequence of collisional grinding of the zodiacal cloud at short heliocentric distances. The abundance of the original $α$-meteoroids, which are essentially `bound $β$-meteoroids', makes them relevant to all in-situ dust experiments in the inner solar system. Due to the change of the term's meaning, however, they are not considered by contemporary studies. The characterization of this particle population could elucidate the processing of the innermost zodiacal cloud, and should thus be objective of upcoming in-situ dust experiments. The attained ambiguity of the term $α$-meteoroid is not easily resolved, warranting great care and clarity going forward.

description: This thesis presents an economical and sustainable approach for determining the uplift capacity of isolated spread footings for overhead transmission towers under drained loading. Various existing traditional methods are being adopted to design the spread footings under the uplift case, but these methods have inherent limitations without addressing these limitations. Numerical analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been conducted to perform a parametric study to investigate the influence of various parameters and a comparative study to compare the FE results with the existing traditional methods. This comparison aims to provide recommendations on the suitability of each method based on the soil type and backfill consistency to achieve an optimal solution.

description: We conduct an extensive evaluation of price jump tests based on high-frequency financial data. After providing a concise review of multiple alternative tests, we document the size and power of all tests in a range of empirically relevant scenarios. Particular focus is given to the robustness of test performance to the presence of jumps in volatility and microstructure noise, and to the impact of sampling frequency. The paper concludes by providing guidelines for empirical researchers about which test to choose in any given setting.
