description: We study a non-linear statistical inverse learning problem, where we observe the noisy image of a quantity through a non-linear operator at some random design points. We consider the widely used Tikhonov regularization (or method of regularization, MOR) approach to reconstruct the estimator of the quantity for the non-linear ill-posed inverse problem. The estimator is defined as the minimizer of a Tikhonov functional, which is the sum of a data misfit term and a quadratic penalty term. We develop a theoretical analysis for the minimizer of the Tikhonov regularization scheme using the ansatz of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We discuss optimal rates of convergence for the proposed scheme, uniformly over classes of admissible solutions, defined through appropriate source conditions.

description: Much of modern metrology and communication technology encodes information in electromagnetic waves, typically as an amplitude or phase. While current hardware can perform near-ideal measurements of photon number or field amplitude, to date no device exists that can even in principle perform an ideal phase measurement. In this work, we implement a single-shot canonical phase measurement on a one-photon wave packet, which surpasses the current standard of heterodyne detection and is optimal for single-shot phase estimation. By applying quantum feedback to a Josephson parametric amplifier, our system adaptively changes its measurement basis during photon arrival and allows us to validate the detector's performance by tracking the quantum state of the photon source. These results provide an important capability for optical quantum computing, and demonstrate that quantum feedback can both enhance the precision of a detector and enable it to measure new classes of physical observables.
Conformal nature of the Hawking radiation

description: String theory usually represents quantum black holes as systems whose statistical mechanics reproduces Hawking's thermodynamics in a very satisfactory way. Complicated brane theoretical models are worked out, as quantum versions of Supergravity solutions. These models are then assumed to be in thermal equilibrium: this is a little cheating, because one is looking for an explanation of the seeming thermodynamical nature of black holes, so they cannot be {\it assumed} to be finite temperature systems! In the model presented here, the black body spectrum arises with no statistical hypothesis as an approximation of the unitary evolution of microscopic black holes, which are always described by a 1+1 conformal field theory, characterized by some Virasoro algebra. At the end, one can state that {\it the Hawking-thermodynamics of the system is a by-product of the algebraic Virasoro-symmetric nature of the event horizon}. This is {\it the central result} of the present work.

Strong link between BWT and XBW via Aho-Corasick automaton and applications to Run-Length Encoding

Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: The boom of genomic sequencing makes compression of set of sequences inescapable. This underlies the need for multi-string indexing data structures that helps compressing the data. The most prominent example of such data structures is the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT), a reversible permutation of a text that improves its compressibility. A similar data structure, the eXtended Burrows-Wheeler Transform (XBW), is able to index a tree labelled with alphabet symbols. A link between a multi-string BWT and the Aho-Corasick automaton has already been found and led to a way to build a XBW from a multi-string BWT. We exhibit a stronger link between a multi-string BWT and a XBW by using the order of the concatenation in the multi-string. This bijective link has several applications: first, it allows to build one data structure from the other; second, it enables one to compute an ordering of the input strings that optimises a Run-Length measure (i.e., the compressibility) of the BWT or of the XBW.

description: This paper investigates a financial market where returns depend on an unobservable Gaussian drift process. While the observation of returns yields information about the underlying drift, we also incorporate discrete-time expert opinions as an external source of information. For estimating the hidden drift it is crucial to consider the conditional distribution of the drift given the available observations, the so-called filter. For an investor observing both the return process and the discrete-time expert opinions, we investigate in detail the asymptotic behavior of the filter as the frequency of the arrival of expert opinions tends to infinity. In our setting, a higher frequency of expert opinions comes at the cost of accuracy, meaning that as the frequency of expert opinions increases, the variance of expert opinions becomes larger. We consider a model where information dates are deterministic and equidistant and another model where the information dates arrive randomly as the jump times of a Poisson process. In both cases we derive limit theorems stating that the information obtained from observing the discrete-time expert opinions is asymptotically the same as that from observing a certain diffusion process which can be interpreted as a continuous-time expert. We use our limit theorems to derive so-called diffusion approximations of the filter for high-frequency discrete-time expert opinions. These diffusion approximations are extremely helpful for deriving simplified approximate solutions of utility maximization problems.

description: It is widely believed that water and complex organic molecules (COMs) first form in the ice mantle of dust grains and are subsequently returned into the gas due to grain heating by intense radiation of protostars. Previous research on the desorption of molecules from the ice mantle assumed that grains are at rest which is contrary to the fact that grains are suprathermally rotating as a result of their interaction with an anisotropic radiation or gas flow. {To clearly understand how molecules are released in to the gas phase, the effect of grain suprathermal rotation on surface chemistry must be quantified}. In this paper, we study the effect of suprathermal rotation of dust grains spun-up by radiative torques on the desorption of molecules from icy grain mantles around protostars. We show that centrifugal potential energy due to grain rotation reduces the potential barrier of molecules and significantly enhances their desorption rate. We term this mechanism {\it rotational-thermal} or {\it ro-thermal} desorption. We apply the ro-thermal mechanism for studying the desorption of molecules from icy grains which are simultaneously heated to high temperatures and spun-up to suprathermal rotation by an intense radiation of protostars. We find that ro-thermal desorption is much more efficient than thermal desorption for molecules with high binding energy such as water and COMs. Our results have important implications for understanding the origin of COMs detected in star-forming regions and call for attention to the effect of suprathermal rotation of icy grains to use molecules as a tracer of physical conditions of star-forming regions.

description: We consider the nonlinear Schroedinger equation on the one dimensional torus, with a defocousing polynomial nonlinearity and study the dynamics corresponding to initial data in a set of large measure with respect to the Gibbs measure. We prove that along the corresponding solutions the modulus of the Fourier coefficients is approximately constant for times of order $β^{2+ς}$, $β$ being the inverse of the temperature and $ς$ a positive number (we prove $ς= 1/10$). The proof is obtained by adapting to the context of Gibbs measure for PDEs some tools of Hamiltonian perturbation theory.

We provide a Limiting Absorption Principle, show asymptotic completeness of the wave operators and give a representation formula for the corresponding Scattering Matrix $S_{F}(λ)$. Moreover we show that, as $F\to 0$, $\|S_{F}(λ)-\mathsf 1\|^{2}_{\mathfrak{B}(L^{2}({\mathbb S}^{2}))}={\mathcal O}\!\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}^{2}}d\textbf{x}|F(\textbf{x})|^γ\right)$, $0

description: We examine 4-dimensional string backgrounds compactified over a two torus. There exist two alternative effective Lagrangians containing each two $SL(2)/U(1)$ sigma-models. Two of these sigma-models are the complex and the Kähler structures on the torus. The effective Lagrangians are invariant under two different $O(2,2)$ groups and by the successive applications of these groups the affine $\widehat{O}(2,2)$ Kac-Moody is emerged. The latter has also a non-zero central term which generates constant Weyl rescalings of the reduced 2-dimensional background. In addition, there exists a number of discrete symmetries relating the field content of the reduced effective Lagrangians.

System Design in the Era of IoT --- Meeting the Autonomy Challenge

description: The advent of IoT is a great opportunity to reinvigorate Computing by focusing on autonomous system design. This certainly raises technology questions but, more importantly, it requires building new foundation that will systematically integrate the innovative results needed to face increasing environment and mission complexity. A key idea is to compensate the lack of human intervention by adaptive control. This is instrumental for system resilience: it allows both coping with uncertainty and managing mixed criticality services. Our proposal for knowledge-based design seeks a compromise: preserving rigorousness despite the fact that essential properties cannot be guaranteed at design time. It makes knowledge generation and application a primary concern and aims to fully and seamlessly incorporate the adaptive control paradigm in system architecture.

Eternally oscillating zero energy Universe
Creators: name: Shankar, Karthik H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The question of whether the universe is eternal or if it had a singular moment of creation is deeply intriguing. Although different versions of steady state and oscillatory models of eternal universe have been envisaged, empirical evidence suggests a singular moment of creation at the big bang. Here we analyze the oscillatory solutions for the universe in a modified theory of gravity THED (Torsion Hides Extra-Dimension) and evaluate them by fitting Type 1a supernovae redshift data. THED-gravity exactly mimics General Relativity at the kinematical level, while the modifications in its dynamical equations allow the universe to bounce between a minimum size and a maximum size with a zero average energy within each oscillation. The optimally fit oscillatory solutions correspond to a universe with (i) a small matter density requiring little to no dark matter, (ii) a significantly negative spatial curvature, (iii) a tiny negative dark energy. Alternatively, there exists non-oscillating solutions that appear as an ever-expanding universe from a single bounce preceded by a collapse from the infinite past. These ever-expanding solutions provide marginally better fits to the supernova redshift data, but require larger matter densities and positive dark energy along with a positive spatial curvature. A qualitative analysis of CMB power spectrum in the modified theory suggests a significant negative spatial curvature, which is in stark contrast to a near-zero curvature in the standard big bang theory. An independent constraint on the spatial curvature can further shed light on discriminating the ever expanding and oscillatory universe scenarios.

New optimization methods in predictive control
Creators: name: Shahzad, Amir
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is mainly concerned with the efficient solution of a linear discrete-time finite horizon optimal control problem (FHOCP) with quadratic cost and linear constraints on the states and inputs. In predictive control, such a FHOCP needs to be solved online at each sampling instant. In order to solve such a FHOCP, it is necessary to solve a quadratic programming (QP) problem. Interior point methods (IPMs) have proven to be an efficient way of solving quadratic programming problems. A linear system of equations needs to be solved in each iteration of an IPM. The ill-conditioning of this linear system in the later iterations of the IPM prevents the use of an iterative method in solving the linear system due to a very slow rate of convergence; in some cases the solution never reaches the desired accuracy. A new well-conditioned IPM, which increases the rate of convergence of the iterative method is proposed. The computational advantage is obtained by the use of an inexact Newton method along with the use of novel preconditioners. A new warm-start strategy is also presented to solve a QP with an interior-point method whose data is slightly perturbed from the previous QP. The effectiveness of this warm-start strategy is demonstrated on a number of available online benchmark problems. Numerical results indicate that the proposed technique depends upon the size of perturbation and it leads to a reduction of 30-74% in floating point operations compared to a cold-start interior point method. Following the main theme of this thesis, which is to improve the computational efficiency of an algorithm, an efficient algorithm for solving the coupled Sylvester equation that arises in converting a system of linear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) to ordinary differential equations is also presented. A significant computational advantage is obtained by exploiting the structure of the involved matrices. The proposed algorithm removes the need to solve a standard Sylvester equation or to invert a matrix. The improved performance of this new method over existing techniques is demonstrated by comparing the number of floating-point operations and via numerical examples.
Formal Verification of Usage Control Models: A Case Study of UseCON Using TLA+

description: Usage control models provide an integration of access control, digital rights, and trust management. To achieve this integration, usage control models support additional concepts such as attribute mutability and continuity of decision. However, these concepts may introduce an additional level of complexity to the underlying model, rendering its definition a cumbersome and prone to errors process. Applying a formal verification technique allows for a rigorous analysis of the interactions amongst the components, and thus for formal guarantees in respect of the correctness of a model. In this paper, we elaborate on a case study, where we express the high-level functional model of the UseCON usage control model in the TLA+ formal specification language, and verify its correctness for <=12 uses in both of its supporting authorisation models.

description: Together, Historic American Engineering Records (HAER) Nos. AZ-22 and AZ-23 present a written historical summary and relevant historical documentation about the construction and use of the Western Canal and the Highline Canal, which are waterways that serve Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, and parts of south Phoenix, Arizona on the south side of the Salt River. This report, Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) No. AZ-22, presents a narrative history of both canals and their infrastructure features. It also includes photographs, drawings, and maps of the Western Canal. HAER AZ-23 (see https://core.tdar.org/document/393530) presents photographs, drawings, and maps of the Highline Canal. The Western Canal provides water for agricultural, industrial, and municipal uses to portions of eastern Mesa, south Tempe, and south Phoenix, near the base of the Salt River (South) Mountains. The construction of the canal resulted from the Reclamation Service's inability to purchase the Tempe Canal, in an effort to improve drainage for south Tempe agricultural fields. From 1911 to 1912, Reclamation worked to connect feeders from the Consolidated Canal in Mesa (the Peck, Wallace, and Pine Feeders) to the Kyrene Branch Canal in south Tempe and the Wormser Branch Canal in south Phoenix. After a funding delay, the Western Canal Company completed construction under Reclamation's supervision. Simultaneously, in 1912, the Highline Canal Construction Company formed to build and mange a canal that would deliver water to agricultural interests and residents on the southern and eastern slopes of the Salt River (South) Mountains. From 1912 to 1914, the company constructed the Highline Canal and Pump. Both the Western and Highline Canals continue to supply water to the southeastern portions of the Salt River Valley, and are long-standing features on the landscape. The canal right-of-ways have also been transformed into recreational spaces, which include bike and pedestrian trails and canal-side parks.

description: We present an approach to couple the resolution of Combinatorial Optimization problems with methods from Machine Learning, applied to the single source, capacitated, facility location problem. Our study is framed in the context where a reference facility location optimization problem is given. Assuming there exist data for many variations of the reference problem (historical or simulated) along with their optimal solution, we study how one can exploit these to make predictions about an unseen new instance. We demonstrate how a classifier can be built from these data to determine whether the solution to the reference problem still applies to a new instance. In case the reference solution is partially applicable, we build a regressor indicating the magnitude of the expected change, and conversely how much of it can be kept for the new instance. This insight, derived from a priori information, is expressed via an additional constraint in the original mathematical programming formulation. We present an empirical evaluation and discuss the benefits, drawbacks and perspectives of such an approach. Although presented through the application to the facility location problem, the approach developed here is general and explores a new perspective on the exploitation of past experience in combinatorial optimization.

description: An archaeological clearance survey has been carried out on a portion of land managed by Tonto National Forest for proposed tower access roads. These access roads are being constructed by Arizona Public Service for the proposed APS Chollo-Saguaro 500 kV Transmission Line. The archaeological surveys were performed in accordance with the interim survey procedures outlined in the October 13, 1976 letter by Martin McAllister. It states that "access roads (14 feet wide) and a buffer zone of 50 feet on each side of the road will be surveyed." Moreoever, "tower sites and a buffer zone consisting of the area within a radius of 200 feet around each tower site hub will be surveyed."

description: Scientific Archeological Services has just completed an archeological inventory of a small parcel situated immediately east of the Old Crosscut Canal in eastern Phoenix, Arizona. This parcel is to be impacted by the construction of two main surface channel features of the Old Crosscut Canal Project. This overall drainage project is to be a joint venture of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County and the city of Phoenix itself, and its development will involve certain reconstruction of the heavily eroded, earthen canal now existing between Indian School Road and McDowell Road. However, the exclusive impact area of immediate concern here is roughly triangular in plan and encompasses only about 2.25 acres of private or commercial land. The Old Crosscut Canal archeological inventory project has involved two types of archival research: a literature search and a records check, and an intensive field survey. The former reveals that no prehistoric or historic archeological sites, other than the Old Crosscut Canal itself, have previously been recorded in or immediately next to the defined project area. The intensive field survey of this same area was accomplished by conducting a comprehensive physical examination that results in essentially a complete, or 100 percent, coverage of all potential archeological surfaces within this particular impact area. It was performed by walking two types of linear transects that were never more than 20.0 m (65.6 ft) wide. This intensive survey produced absolutely no prehistoric or historic sites, no intrasite components, no intracomponent features, and no isolated artifacts.

description: Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater remediation to improve the recovery of trapped non-aqueous fluids. However, applications are limited by an incomplete understanding of the flow in porous media. The tortuous pore structure imposes both shear and extension, which elongates polymers; moreover, the flow is often at large Weissenberg numbers Wi at which polymer elasticity in turn strongly alters the flow. This dynamic elongation can even produce flow instabilities with strong spatial and temporal fluctuations despite the low Reynolds number Re. Unfortunately, macroscopic approaches are limited in their ability to characterize the pore-scale flow. Thus, understanding how polymer conformations, flow dynamics, and pore geometry together determine these non-trivial flow patterns and impact macroscopic transport remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we describe how microfluidic tools can shed light on the physics underlying the flow of polymer solutions in porous media at high Wi and low Re. Specifically, microfluidic studies elucidate how steady and unsteady flow behavior depends on pore geometry and solution properties, and how polymer-induced effects impact non-aqueous fluid recovery. This work provides new insights for polymer dynamics, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, and applications such as enhanced oil recovery and groundwater remediation.

description: While many studies and tools target the basic stabilizability problem of networked control systems (NCS), nowadays modern systems require more sophisticated objectives such as those expressed as formulae in linear temporal logic or as automata on infinite strings. One general technique to achieve this is based on so-called symbolic models, where complex systems are approximated by finite abstractions, and then, correct-by-construction controllers are automatically synthesized for them. We present tool SENSE for the construction of finite abstractions for NCS and the automated synthesis of controllers. Constructed controllers enforce complex specifications over plants in NCS by taking into account several non-idealities of the communication channels. Given a symbolic model of the plant and network parameters, SENSE can efficiently construct a symbolic model of the NCS, by employing operations on binary decision diagrams (BDDs). Then, it synthesizes symbolic controllers satisfying a class of specifications. It has interfaces for the simulation and the visualization of the resulting closed-loop systems using OMNETPP and MATLAB. Additionally, SENSE can generate ready-to-implement VHDL/Verilog or C/C++ codes from the synthesized controllers.

Quality of care in surgery and methods to assess the volume-outcome relationship
Creators: name: Mayer, Erik K.
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis outlines the proposed attributes of healthcare which can define its quality and reviews existing research in this area. Specifically, the limitations of existing research into the volume-outcome relationship within surgery are highlighted, thereby addressing the ‘health outcome’ dimension of quality of care. The principles and existing application of funnel plots within surgery are reviewed alongside their ability to overcome the limitations, risks and implications of contemporary ranking of surgical performance. Methods by which future research should be conducted are proposed as a conceptual model. This model, along with the proposed ‘quality’ attributes, identifies the research themes of the empirical studies. The application of a validated methodological scoring system formally explores the limitations of existing volume-outcome research within the uro-oncological field. A cross-sectional analysis of administrative data assesses the volume-outcome relationship for radical cystectomy in England, using an improved methodology that incorporates a multilevel model to account for the relationship and influence of both the surgeon and institution and adjustment for institutional structural and process of care confounders. Subsequently, risk-adjusted funnel plot methodology is applied to the dataset to further explore provider performance. A longitudinal analysis assesses compliance with healthcare policy for radical pelvic surgery in England by exploring the patterns of service provision, in response to the existing understanding of the volume-outcome relationship for uro-oncology. This thesis demonstrates the limitations with existing volume-outcome methodology and the need for improved methodology for both the interpretation and presentation of volume-outcome research. Appropriate handling of the data in volume-outcome analysis, which recognises the hierarchical nature, is important to adequately inform future service reconfiguration. Volume-outcome research is just one component of a quality framework that will help align healthcare with quality improvement programmes and must incorporate a multidimensional approach to measuring and presenting both the clinical and patient-orientated measures of quality of care.

description: This report presents a monitoring and data recovery plan for the proposed Stapley Drive Conduit and Fiber Optic Cable Project, City of Mesa Project Number 00-44. The Stapley Road Conduit and Fiber Optic Project will create moderate subsurface impacts through the excavation of a utility trench along a 2-mile right-of-way. The area was previously developed and is currently a major traffic corridor in the City of Mesa. The Stapley Road Conduit and Fiber Optic is being funded by federal CMAQ funds making the Federal Highway Administration, the lead agency for Section 106 consultation. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) provides the cultural resource review for the Federal agency. The project also crosses the Consolidated Canal, an historic property managed by the Salt River Project and the Bureau of Reclamation. A copy of the original survey report was submitted to Mr. David Gifford, cultural resource specialist in the Phoenix Office of the Bureau of Reclamation. Mr. Gifford determined that the project would intersect an area of the Consolidated Canal that has been previously surveyed and documented in a HAER report. No further actions were needed in regard to this portion of the project.
