Robustifying Event-Triggered Control to Measurement Noise

description: While many event-triggered control strategies are available in the literature, most of them are designed ignoring the presence of measurement noise. As measurement noise is omnipresent in practice and can have detrimental effects, for instance, by inducing Zeno behavior in the closed-loop system and with that the lack of a positive lower bound on the inter-event times, rendering the event-triggered control design practically useless, it is of great importance to address this gap in the literature. To do so, we present a general framework for set stabilization of (distributed) event-triggered control systems affected by additive measurement noise. It is shown that, under general conditions, Zeno-free static as well as dynamic triggering rules can be designed such that the closed-loop system satisfies an input-to-state practical set stability property. We ensure Zeno-freeness by proving the existence of a uniform strictly positive lower-bound on the minimum inter-event time. The general framework is applied to point stabilization and consensus problems as particular cases, where we show that, under similar assumptions as the original work, existing schemes can be redesigned to robustify them to measurement noise. Consequently, using this framework, noise-robust triggering conditions can be designed both from the ground up and by simple redesign of several important existing schemes. Simulation results are provided that illustrate the strengths of this novel approach.
Non-Markovian dynamics with a giant atom coupled to a semi-infinite photonic waveguide

description: We study the non-Markovian dynamics of a two-level giant atom interacting with a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide through multiple coupling points, where a perfect mirror is located at the endpoint of the waveguide. The system enters a non-Markovian process when the travel time of the photon between adjacent coupling points is sufficiently large compared to the inverse of the bare relaxation rate of the giant atom. The photon released by the spontaneous emission of the atom transfers between multiple coupling points through the waveguide or is reabsorbed by the atom with the photon emitted via the atom having completed the round trip after reflection of the mirror, which leads to the photon being trapped and forming bound states. We find that three different types of bound states can be formed in the system, containing the static bound states with no inversion of population, the periodic equal amplitude oscillation with two bound states, and the periodic non-equal amplitude oscillation with three bound states. The physical origins of three bound states formation are revealed. Moreover, we consider the influences of the dissipation of unwanted modes and dephasing on the bound states. Finally, we extend the system to a more general case involving many giant atoms coupled into a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide. The obtained set of delay differential equations for the giant atoms might open a way to better understand the non-Markovian dynamics of many giant atoms coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide.

description: We study singular metrics of constant negative $Q$-curvature in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ for every $n \geq 1$. Precisely, we consider solutions to the problem \[
 (-Δ)^{n/2}u=-e^{nu}\quad \text{on}\quad\mathbb{R}^{n}\backslash \{0\}, \] under a finite volume condition $Λ:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}e^{nu}dx$. We classify all singular solutions of the above equation based on their behavior at infinity and zero. As a consequence of this, when $n=1,2$, we show that there is actually no singular solution. Then adapting a variational technique, we obtain that for any $n\geq 3$ and $Λ>0$, the equation admits solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior. These solutions correspond to metrics of constant negative $Q$-curvature, which are either smooth or have a singularity at the origin of logarithmic or polynomial type. The present paper complements previous works on the case of positive $Q$-curvature, and also sharpens previous results in the nonsingular negative $Q$-curvature case.

description: A novel framework is proposed for handling the complex task of modelling and analysis of longitudinal, multivariate, heterogeneous clinical data. This method uses temporal abstraction to convert the data into a more appropriate form for modelling, temporal pattern mining, to discover patterns in the complex, longitudinal data and machine learning models of survival analysis to select the discovered patterns. The method is applied to a real-world study of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease that has no cure. The patterns discovered were predictive of AD in survival analysis models with a Concordance index of up to 0.8. This is the first work that performs survival analysis of AD data using temporal data collections for AD. A visualisation module also provides a clear picture of the discovered patterns for ease of interpretability.

description: The theory of organizational action is a “point of view” on decision and action processes. The focus is mostly on how such processes are generated and developed, which is, their regulation. Organization is conceived as “action-that-organizes”, unseparated from the subject. The subject, by acting, organizes his/her action. This new edition, revised and augmented, comprises three books. In Book I the fundamentals of the theory, the way it is built and its epistemological presuppositions, are introduced. In Book II, the point of view is oriented toward the work processes and their transformations, including the workers’ well-being. In Book III, the point of view is extended to learning and to the tight relationship between learning, work analysis and organizational change.

description: Let $M$ be a Kähler manifold with complex structure $J$ and Kähler metric $g$. A c-projective vector field is a vector field on $M$ whose flow sends $J$-planar curves to $J$-planar curves, where $J$-planar curves are analogs of what (unparametrised) geodesics are for pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (without complex structure). The c-projective symmetry algebras of Kähler surfaces with essential (i.e., non-affine) c-projective vector fields are computed.
Fractional calculus within the optical model used in nuclear and particle physics

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: The optical model is a fundamental tool to describe scattering processes in nuclear physics. The basic input is an optical model potential, which describes the refraction and absorption processes more or less schematically. Of special interest is the form of the absorption potential. With increasing energy of the incident projectile, a derivation of this potential must take into account the observed energy dependent transition from surface to volume type. The classic approach has weaknesses in this regard. We will discuss these deficiencies and will propose an alternative method based on concepts developed within the framework of fractional calculus, which allows to describe a smooth transition from surface to volume absorption in an appropriate way.

High Frequency vs. Daily Resolution: the Economic Value of Forecasting Volatility Models
Creators: name: Lilla, Francesca
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2016
Subjects: SECS-P/05 Econometria

description: Forecasting-volatility models typically rely on either daily or high frequency (HF) data and the choice between these two categories is not obvious. In particular, the latter allows to treat volatility as observable but they suffer of many limitations. HF data feature microstructure problem, such as the discreteness of the data, the properties of the trading mechanism and the existence of bid-ask spread. Moreover, these data are not
always available and, even if they are, the asset’s liquidity may be not sufficient to allow for frequent transactions. This paper considers different variants of these two family forecasting-volatility models, comparing their performance (in terms of Value at Risk, VaR) under the assumptions of jumping prices and leverage effects for volatility. Findings suggest that GARJI model provides more accurate VaR measures for the S&P 500 index than RV models. Furthermore, the assumption of conditional normality is shown to be not sufficient to obtain accurate risk measures even if jump contribution is provided. More sophisticated models might address this issue, improving VaR results.

description: Speech enhancement systems are typically trained using pairs of clean and noisy speech. In audio-visual speech enhancement
(AVSE), there is not as much ground-truth clean data available; most audio-visual datasets are collected in real-world environments with background noise and reverberation, hampering the development of AVSE. In this work, we introduce AV2Wav, a resynthesis-based audio-visual speech enhancement approach that can generate clean speech despite the challenges of real-world training data. We obtain a subset of nearly clean speech from an audio-visual corpus using a neural quality estimator, and then train a diffusion model on this subset to generate waveforms conditioned on continuous speech representations from AV-HuBERT with noise-robust training. We use continuous rather than discrete representations to retain prosody and speaker information. With this vocoding task alone, the model can perform speech enhancement better than a masking-based baseline. We further fine-tune the model on clean/noisy utterance pairs to improve the performance. Our approach outperforms a masking-based baseline in terms of both automatic metrics and a human listening test and is close in quality to the target speech in the listening test.

description: When a deep learning model is sequentially trained on different datasets, it forgets the knowledge acquired from previous data, a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting. It deteriorates performance of the deep learning model on diverse datasets, which is critical in privacy-preserving deep learning (PPDL) applications based on transfer learning (TL). To overcome this, we propose review learning (RL), a generative-replay-based continual learning technique that does not require a separate generator. Data samples are generated from the memory stored within the synaptic weights of the deep learning model which are used to review knowledge acquired from previous datasets. The performance of RL was validated through PPDL experiments. Simulations and real-world medical multi-institutional experiments were conducted using three types of binary classification electronic health record data. In the real-world experiments, the global area under the receiver operating curve was 0.710 for RL and 0.655 for TL. Thus, RL was highly effective in retaining previously learned knowledge.

description: In cases in which there is the possibility of massive human losses, the threshold likelihood of their occurrence, and the non-excessive costs of their prevention, we ought to act now. This is all the more definitely the case because it may well be that this is the time-of-last-opportunity to head off one or more potential disasters, all of which may still be preventable by sufficiently rapid reductions in carbon emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel. It is unfair that the present generation should incur as heavy a burden as it does of seizing the last opportunity for prevention of disasters like large sea-level rises, but the unfairness is not sufficient to make the burden unreasonable to bear, especially since it is not in fact as heavy as often believed.

description: Vision transformers have gained popularity recently, leading to the development of new vision backbones with improved features and consistent performance gains. However, these advancements are not solely attributable to novel feature transformation designs; certain benefits also arise from advanced network-level and block-level architectures. This paper aims to identify the real gains of popular convolution and attention operators through a detailed study. We find that the key difference among these feature transformation modules, such as attention or convolution, lies in their spatial feature aggregation approach, known as the "spatial token mixer" (STM). To facilitate an impartial comparison, we introduce a unified architecture to neutralize the impact of divergent network-level and block-level designs. Subsequently, various STMs are integrated into this unified framework for comprehensive comparative analysis. Our experiments on various tasks and an analysis of inductive bias show a significant performance boost due to advanced network-level and block-level designs, but performance differences persist among different STMs. Our detailed analysis also reveals various findings about different STMs, including effective receptive fields, invariance, and adversarial robustness tests.

description: Mahallas are community groups that have existed for centuries in Uzbek culture. In every community of our people there is a group of elders who are expected to help solve any social problems and conflicts that arise in the community. Although mahallas are not religious organizations, they promote traditional Islamic ideas about social roles and behavior. They help organize weddings, funerals and circumcisions - the main events in the life of the people. They also try to prevent divorces (married couples must appear before the mahalla before legal divorce proceedings begin), the mahalla must also ensure that the elderly are taken care of, and criminals are punished (criminals may be forced to leave the mahalla) [3,42].

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

description: The classic online facility location problem deals with finding the optimal set of facilities in an online fashion when demand requests arrive one at a time and facilities need to be opened to service these requests. In this work, we study two variants of the online facility location problem; (1) weighted requests and (2) congestion. Both of these variants are motivated by their applications to real life scenarios and the previously known results on online facility location cannot be directly adapted to analyse them.
 Weighted requests: In this variant, each demand request is a pair $(x,w)$ where $x$ is the standard location of the demand while $w$ is the corresponding weight of the request. The cost of servicing request $(x,w)$ at facility $F$ is $w\cdot d(x,F)$. For this variant, given $n$ requests, we present an online algorithm attaining a competitive ratio of $\mathcal{O}(\log n)$ in the secretarial model for the weighted requests and show that it is optimal.
 Congestion: The congestion variant considers the case when there is an additional congestion cost that grows with the number of requests served by each facility. For this variant, when the congestion cost is a monomial, we show that there exists an algorithm attaining a constant competitive ratio. This constant is a function of the exponent of the monomial and the facility opening cost but independent of the number of requests.

description: This article discusses obstacles to overcoming dangerous climate change. It employs an account of dangerous climate change that takes climate change and climate change policy as dangerous if it imposes avoidable costs of poverty prolongation. It then examines plausible accounts of the collective action problems that seem to explain the lack of ambition to mitigate. After criticizing the merits of two proposals to overcome these problems, it discusses the pledge and review process. It argues that pledge and review possesses the virtues of encouraging broad participation and of providing a procedural safeguard for the right of sustainable development. However, given the perceptions of the marginal short term costs of mitigation, pledge and review is unlikely, at least initially, to issue in an agreement to make deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Because there is no rival approach that seems likely to better instantiate the two virtues, pledge and review may be the best available policy for mitigation. Moreover, recent economic research suggests that the co-benefits of mitigation may be greater than previously assumed and that the costs of renewable energy may be less than previously calculated. This would radically undermine claims that the short term mitigation costs necessarily render mitigation irrational and produce collective action problems. Given the circumstances, pledge and review might be our best hope to avoid dangerous climate change.

Climate Change, Population, and Justice: Hard Choices to Avoid Tragic Choices
Creators: name: Cripps, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Global Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric
Year: 2015
Subjects: Climate change; global justice; intergenerational justice; population; tragic choices

description: However far we are from either in practice, basic global and intergenerational justice, including climate change mitigation, are taken to be theoretically compatible. If population grows as predicted, this could cease to be the case. This paper asks whether that tragic legacy can now be averted without hard or even tragic choices on population policy. Current generations must navigate between: a high-stakes gamble on undeveloped technology; violating human rights; demanding unbearable sacrifices of the already badly off; institutional unfairness across adults; institutional unfairness across children; failing to protect children’s basic interests; and threatening the autonomy of the family. We are not yet forced to choose between bequeathing a tragic choice and making one, by adopting basically unjust measures. However, even the remaining options present a morally hard choice. The fact we face it is yet another damning indictment on the combined actions and collective failures of the global elite.

description: The 1-in-3 and Not-All-Equal satisfiability problems for Boolean CNF formulas are two well-known NP-hard problems. In contrast, the promise 1-in-3 vs. Not-All-Equal problem can be solved in polynomial time. In the present work, we investigate this constraint satisfaction problem in a regime where the promise is weakened from either side by a rainbow-free structure, and establish a complexity dichotomy for the resulting class of computational problems.

description: The design and deployment of autonomous systems for space missions require robust solutions to navigate strict reliability constraints, extended operational duration, and communication challenges. This study evaluates the stability and performance of a hierarchical deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework designed for multi-agent satellite inspection tasks. The proposed framework integrates a high-level guidance policy with a low-level motion controller, enabling scalable task allocation and efficient trajectory execution. Experiments conducted on the Local Intelligent Network of Collaborative Satellites (LINCS) testbed assess the framework's performance under varying levels of fidelity, from simulated environments to a cyber-physical testbed. Key metrics, including task completion rate, distance traveled, and fuel consumption, highlight the framework's robustness and adaptability despite real-world uncertainties such as sensor noise, dynamic perturbations, and runtime assurance (RTA) constraints. The results demonstrate that the hierarchical controller effectively bridges the sim-to-real gap, maintaining high task completion rates while adapting to the complexities of real-world environments. These findings validate the framework's potential for enabling autonomous satellite operations in future space missions.

Dalit Women in India: At the Crossroads of Gender, Class, and Caste

Publisher: name: Global Justice : Theory Practice Rhetoric

Subjects: dalit women; gender; discrimination; exclusion; scheduled castes; India

description: As the lowest in the caste hierarchy, Dalits in Indian society have historically suffered caste-based social exclusion from economic, civil, cultural, and political rights. Women from this community suffer from not only discrimination based on their gender but also caste identity and consequent economic deprivation. Dalit women constituted about 16.60 percent of India’s female population in 2011. Dalit women’s problems encompass not only gender and economic deprivation but also discrimination associated with religion, caste, and untouchability, which in turn results in the denial of their social, economic, cultural, and political rights. They become vulnerable to sexual violence and exploitation due to their gender and caste. Dalit women also become victims of abhorrent social and religious practices such as devadasi/jogini (temple prostitution), resulting in sexual exploitation in the name of religion. The additional discrimination faced by Dalit women on account of their gender and caste is clearly reflected in the differential achievements in human development indicators for this group. In all the indicators of human development, for example, literacy and longevity, Dalit women score worse than Dalit men and non-Dalit women. Thus, the problems of Dalit women are distinct and unique in many ways, and they suffer from the ‘triple burden’ of gender bias, caste discrimination, and economic deprivation. To gain insights into the economic and social status of Dalit women, our paper will delve more closely into their lives and encapsulate the economic and social situations of Dalit women in India. The analyses of human poverty and caste and gender discrimination are based on official data sets as well as a number of primary studies in the labor market and on reproductive health.

A Convergent Numerical Algorithm for $α$-Dissipative Solutions of the Hunter-Saxton Equation

description: A convergent numerical method for $α$-dissipative solutions of the Hunter-Saxton equation is derived. The method is based on applying a tailor-made projection operator to the initial data, and then solving exactly using the generalized method of characteristics. The projection step is the only step that introduces any approximation error. It is therefore crucial that its design ensures not only a good approximation of the initial data, but also that errors due to the energy dissipation at later times remain small. Furthermore, it is shown that the main quantity of interest, the wave profile, converges in $L^{\infty}$ for all $t \geq 0$, while a subsequence of the energy density converges weakly for almost every time.
