Robustness-by-Construction Synthesis: Adapting to the Environment at Runtime

description: While most of the current synthesis algorithms only focus on correctness-by-construction, ensuring robustness has remained a challenge. Hence, in this paper, we address the robust-by-construction synthesis problem by considering the specifications to be expressed by a robust version of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL), called robust LTL (rLTL). rLTL has a many-valued semantics to capture different degrees of satisfaction of a specification, i.e., satisfaction is a quantitative notion.
 We argue that the current algorithms for rLTL synthesis do not compute optimal strategies in a non-antagonistic setting. So, a natural question is whether there is a way of satisfying the specification "better" if the environment is indeed not antagonistic. We address this question by developing two new notions of strategies. The first notion is that of adaptive strategies, which, in response to the opponent's non-antagonistic moves, maximize the degree of satisfaction. The idea is to monitor non-optimal moves of the opponent at runtime using multiple parity automata and adaptively change the system strategy to ensure optimality. The second notion is that of strongly adaptive strategies, which is a further refinement of the first notion. These strategies also maximize the opportunities for the opponent to make non-optimal moves. We show that computing such strategies for rLTL specifications is not harder than the standard synthesis problem, e.g., computing strategies with LTL specifications, and takes doubly-exponential time.

description: We apply the DMRG method to the Pariser-Parr-Pople hamiltonian and investigate the onset of dimerization. We deduce the parameters of the hopping term and the contribution of the sigma bonds from ab initio calculations on ethylene. Denoting by R_{ij} the C-C distances, we perform a variational optimization of the dimerization delta= (R_{i,i+1} - R_{i-1,i})/2 and of the average bond length R_0 for chains up to N=50 sites. The critical value of N at which the transition occurs is found to be between N=14 and N=18 for the present model. The asymptotic values for large N for R_0 and delta are given by 1.408(3) angstroms and 0.036(0) angstroms.

description: Cette présentation tente d'abord d'expliquer ce qu'est une ressource éducative libre (REL) et en quoi consiste le mouvement de l'éducation ouverte. On analyse ensuite ensemble la question du temps accordé à la création de nos ressources éducatives :

Est-ce qu'une REL prend plus de temps à créer qu'une ressource éducative standard?

Qu'est-ce qui demande du temps dans la création de ressources éducatives? 

Est-ce que le temps, c’est de l’argent, et si oui, qui encaisse?

Qu’en est-il du temps versus la qualité des ressources produites?

Qu'entend-on par document "vivant" quand on parle de REL?

Au final, est-ce que la question du temps est la bonne question à se poser?

Enfin, le webinaire nous permet de prendre connaissance de la perspective sur les REL et le temps de 2 personnes créatrices de REL à l'Université Laval, la professeure titulaire à la Faculté de droit, Marie-Claire Belleau, et le conseiller en pédagogie universitaire Jean-François Proteau.

description: We investigate $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric coherent perfect absorbers (CPAs) in the TE mode solution of a linear homogeneous optical system surrounded by graphene sheets. It is revealed that presence of graphene sheets contributes the enhancement of absorption in a coherent perfect absorber. We derive exact analytic expressions, and work through their possible impacts on lasing threshold and CPA conditions. We point out roles of each parameter governing optical system with graphene and show that optimal conditions of these parameters give rise to enhancement and possible experimental realization of a CPA laser. Presence of graphene leads the required gain amount to reduce considerably based on its chemical potential and temperature. We obtain that relation between system parameters decides the measure of CPA condition. We find out that graphene features contributing to resonance effect in graphene sheets are rather preferable to build a better coherent perfect absorber.

description: It is possible to extract work from a quantum-mechanical system whose dynamics is governed by a time-dependent cyclic Hamiltonian. An energy bath is required to operate such a quantum engine in place of the heat bath used to run a conventional classical thermodynamic heat engine. The effect of the energy bath is to maintain the expectation value of the system Hamiltonian during an isoenergetic expansion. It is shown that the existence of such a bath leads to equilibrium quantum states that maximise the von Neumann entropy. Quantum analogues of certain thermodynamic relations are obtained that allow one to define the temperature of the energy bath.

A Triple Origin for Twin Blue Stragglers in Close Binaries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a formation mechanism for twin blue stragglers (BSs) in compact binaries that involves mass transfer from an evolved outer tertiary companion on to the inner binary via a circumbinary disk. We apply this scenario to the observed double BS system Binary 7782 in the old open cluster NGC 188, and show that its observed properties are naturally reproduced within the context of the proposed model. We predict the following properties for twin BSs: (1) For the outer tertiary orbit, the initial orbital period should lie between 220 days $\lesssim$ P$_{\rm out}$ $\lesssim$ 1100 days, assuming initial masses for the inner binary components of $m_{\rm 1} = 1.1$ M$_{\odot}$ and $m_{\rm 2} =$ 0.9 M$_{\odot}$ and an outer tertiary mass of $m_{\rm 3} = 1.4$ M$_{\odot}$. After Roche-lobe overflow, the outer star turns into a white dwarf (WD) of mass 0.43 to 0.54\,\MSun. There is a correlation between the mass of this WD and the outer orbital period: more massive WDs will be on wider orbits. (3) The rotational axes of both BSs will be aligned with each other and the orbital plane of the outer tertiary WD. (4) The BSs will have roughly equal masses, independent of their initial masses (since the lower mass star accretes the most). The dominant accretor should, therefore, be more enriched by the accreted material. Hence, one of the BSs will appear to be more enriched by either He, C and O or by s-process elements, if the donor started Roche lobe overflow on, respectively, the red giant or asymptotic giant branch. (5) Relative to old clusters, twin BSs in close binaries formed from the proposed mechanism should be more frequent in the Galactic field and open clusters with ages $\lesssim$ 4-6 Gyr, since then the donor will have a radiative envelope. (6) The orbit of the binary BS will have a small semi-major axis (typically $\aplt 0.3$\,au) and be close to circular ($e \aplt 0.2$).

description: Various deep learning methods have been proposed to segment breast lesion from ultrasound images. However, similar intensity distributions, variable tumor morphology and blurred boundaries present challenges for breast lesions segmentation, especially for malignant tumors with irregular shapes. Considering the complexity of ultrasound images, we develop an adaptive attention U-net (AAU-net) to segment breast lesions automatically and stably from ultrasound images. Specifically, we introduce a hybrid adaptive attention module, which mainly consists of a channel self-attention block and a spatial self-attention block, to replace the traditional convolution operation. Compared with the conventional convolution operation, the design of the hybrid adaptive attention module can help us capture more features under different receptive fields. Different from existing attention mechanisms, the hybrid adaptive attention module can guide the network to adaptively select more robust representation in channel and space dimensions to cope with more complex breast lesions segmentation. Extensive experiments with several state-of-the-art deep learning segmentation methods on three public breast ultrasound datasets show that our method has better performance on breast lesion segmentation. Furthermore, robustness analysis and external experiments demonstrate that our proposed AAU-net has better generalization performance on the segmentation of breast lesions. Moreover, the hybrid adaptive attention module can be flexibly applied to existing network frameworks.

description: We introduce the Optimizing a Discrete Loss (ODIL) framework for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE) using machine learning tools. The framework formulates numerical methods as a minimization of discrete residuals that are solved using gradient descent and Newton's methods. We demonstrate the value of this approach on equations that may have missing parameters or where no sufficient data is available to form a well-posed initial-value problem. The framework is presented for mesh based discretizations of PDEs and inherits their accuracy, convergence, and conservation properties. It preserves the sparsity of the solutions and is readily applicable to inverse and ill-posed problems. It is applied to PDE-constrained optimization, optical flow, system identification, and data assimilation using gradient descent algorithms including those often deployed in machine learning. We compare ODIL with related approach that represents the solution with neural networks. We compare the two methodologies and demonstrate advantages of ODIL that include significantly higher convergence rates and several orders of magnitude lower computational cost. We evaluate the method on various linear and nonlinear partial differential equations including the Navier-Stokes equations for flow reconstruction problems.

description: Recycled rubber is used in various civil engineering applications to improve the properties of construction materials. The use of elastic materials such as rubber particles in soils can enhance the damping ratio and possibly improve the seismic response. In this research, dynamic parameters of rubber-soil mixture, over the medium to large strain range, were investigated by use of a hollow cylinder apparatus. The soil-rubber mixture was prepared in four different rubber contents and different particle size ratios of rubber to soil. The results showed that increasing the rubber particle content increases the damping ratio and decreases the shear modulus of the mixture. Moreover, reducing the particle size ratio showed a similar trend as increasing rubber particle content.

description: Prepare-and-measure scenarios, in their many forms, can be seen as the basic building blocks of communication tasks. As such, they can be used to analyze a diversity of classical and quantum protocols -- of which dense coding and random access codes are key examples -- in a unified manner. In particular, the use of entanglement as a resource in prepare-and-measure scenarios have only recently started to be systematically investigated, and many crucial questions remain open. In this work, we explore such scenarios and provide answers to some seminal questions. More specifically, we show that, in scenarios where entanglement is a free resource, quantum messages are equivalent to classical ones with twice the capacity. We also prove that, in such scenarios, it is always advantageous for the parties to share entangled states of dimension greater than the transmitted message. Finally, we show that unsteerable states cannot provide advantages in classical communication tasks, thus proving that not all entangled states are useful resources in these scenarios.

description: Using kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations of a Solid-on-Solid model we investigate the influence of step edge diffusion (SED) and evaporation on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Based on these investigations we propose two strategies to optimize MBE-growth. The strategies are applicable in different growth regimes: during layer-by-layer growth one can reduce the desorption rate using a pulsed flux. In three-dimensional (3D) growth the SED can help to grow large, smooth structures. For this purpose the flux has to be reduced with time according to a power law.

description: The conformation of molecules on surfaces is decisive for their functionality. For the case of the endofullerene paramagnet Sc2TbN@C80 the conformation is linked to an electric and a magnetic dipole moment. Therefore a workfunction change of a substrate with adsorbed molecules, qualifies the system to be magnetoelectric. One monolayer of Sc2TbN@C80 has been studied on h-BN/Ni(111). The molecules assume a hexagonally close packed lattice aligned with the substrate high symmetry directions. The structure is incommensurate and arranges at a periodicity of about 4.3x4.3 substrate unit cells. At low temperatures a (2 x 2) superstructure is observed. Angular resolved valence band photoemission spectroscopy shows a temperature induced 0.3 eV shift on the C80 molecular orbitals to lower binding energies that is parallel to a workfunction increase. From comparison of the molecular orbital angular photoemission intensity distributions it is conjectured that the molecules undergo a change in conformation between 30 and 300 K. This phase transition is centred at 125 K as observed with high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy that shows the core levels of the atomic species on the molecules to shift parallel to the workfunction. The temperature dependence of the workfunction can be described with a two level model that accounts for the disordering with an excitation energy of 60 meV into a highly degenerate ensemble. The experimental findings are backed by density functional theory calculations for the diamagnetic sibling of Sc2TbN@C80 : Sc2YN@C80 that rationalize the incommensurate structure, show a permanent dipole moment of Sc2YN@C80 and a relation between the workfunction and the orientation of the endohedral cluster.

Comparison of $1/T_{1}$ at the Cu and the two distinct oxygen sites revealed that the major spectral weight of low frequency spin fluctuations is located near $q \sim (π, π)$ for most of the temperature and doping ranges investigated. Remarkable difference in the temperature dependence of $1/T_1$ for the two oxygen sites in the heavily doped $x$=12 sample revealed reduction of singlet correlations between two legs in place of growing antiferromagnetic correlations along the leg direction with increasing temperature. Such behavior is most likely caused by the dissociation of bound hole pairs.

description: Recycled rubber is used in various civil engineering applications to improve the properties of construction materials. The use of elastic materials such as rubber particles in soils can enhance the damping ratio and possibly improve the seismic response. In this research, dynamic parameters of rubber-soil mixture, over the medium to large strain range, were investigated by use of a hollow cylinder apparatus. The soil-rubber mixture was prepared in four different rubber contents and different particle size ratios of rubber to soil. The results showed that increasing the rubber particle content increases the damping ratio and decreases the shear modulus of the mixture. Moreover, reducing the particle size ratio showed a similar trend as increasing rubber particle content.

description: We combine histogram reweighting techniques with the two-lattice matching Monte Carlo renormalization group method to conduct computationally efficient calculations of critical exponents on systems with moderately small lattice sizes. The approach, which relies on the construction of renormalization group mappings between two systems of identical lattice size to partially eliminate finite-size effects, and the use of histogram reweighting to obtain computationally efficient results in extended regions of parameter space, is utilized to explicitly determine the renormalized coupling parameters of the two-dimensional $ϕ^{4}$ scalar field theory and to extract multiple critical exponents. We conclude by quantifying the computational benefits of the approach and discuss how reweighting opens up the opportunity to extend Monte Carlo renormalization group methods to systems with complex-valued actions.

description: Imaging of structural defects in a material can be realized with a radio-frequency atomic magnetometer by monitoring the material's response to a radio-frequency excitation field. We demonstrate two measurement configurations that enable the increase of the amplitude and phase contrast in images that represent a structural defect in highly electrically conductive and high magnetic permeability samples. Both concepts involve the elimination of the excitation field component, orthogonal to the sample surface, from the atomic magnetometer signal. The first method relies on the implementation of a set of coils that directly compensates the excitation field component in the magnetometer signal. The second takes advantage of the fact that the radio-frequency magnetometer is not sensitive to the magnetic field oscillating along one of its axes. Results from simple modelling confirm the experimental observation and are discussed in detail.

description: The (2+p)-Satisfiability (SAT) problem interpolates between different classes of complexity theory and is believed to be of basic interest in understanding the onset of typical case complexity in random combinatorics. In this paper, a tricritical point in the phase diagram of the random $2+p$-SAT problem is analytically computed using the replica approach and found to lie in the range $2/5 \le p_0 \le 0.416$. These bounds on $p_0$ are in agreement with previous numerical simulations and rigorous results.

description: We generalize the Barabási--Albert's model of growing networks accounting for initial properties of sites and find exactly the distribution of connectivities of the network $P(q)$ and the averaged connectivity $\bar{q}(s,t)$ of a site $s$ in the instant $t$ (one site is added per unit of time). At long times $P(q) \sim q^{-γ}$ at $q \to \infty$ and $\bar{q}(s,t) \sim (s/t)^{-β}$ at $s/t \to 0$, where the exponent $γ$ varies from 2 to $\infty$ depending on the initial attractiveness of sites. We show that the relation $β(γ-1)=1$ between the exponents is universal.

Lateral Optical Forces on Linearly-Polarized Emitters near a Reciprocal Substrate

description: We theoretically investigate the emergence of lateral (recoil) forces acting on generic dipole-type emitters in the vicinity of a reciprocal translation-invariant substrate. Surprisingly, we find that for linearly-polarized electric dipoles the lateral force invariably vanishes, independent of the anisotropy (e.g., tilted optical axes) or chirality of the substrate. We identify a novel opportunity to have a recoil force relying on a superposition of two linearly-polarized and collinear electric and magnetic dipoles. Counterintuitively, it is shown that when such an emitter stands above a uniaxial dielectric half-space with tilted optical axes it may experience a recoil force oriented along the direction perpendicular to the plane defined by the interface normal and the substrate optical axis.

description: A voting rule decides on a probability distribution over a set of m alternatives, based on rankings of those alternatives provided by agents. We assume that agents have cardinal utility functions over the alternatives, but voting rules have access to only the rankings induced by these utilities. We evaluate how well voting rules do on measures of social welfare and of proportional fairness, computed based on the hidden utility functions.
 In particular, we study the distortion of voting rules, which is a worst-case measure. It is an approximation ratio comparing the utilitarian social welfare of the optimum outcome to the social welfare produced by the outcome selected by the voting rule, in the worst case over possible input profiles and utility functions that are consistent with the input. The previous literature has studied distortion with unit-sum utility functions (which are normalized to sum to 1), and left a small asymptotic gap in the best possible distortion. Using tools from the theory of fair multi-winner elections, we propose the first voting rule which achieves the optimal distortion $Θ(\sqrt{m})$ for unit-sum utilities. Our voting rule also achieves optimum $Θ(\sqrt{m})$ distortion for a larger class of utilities, including unit-range and approval (0/1) utilities.
 We then take a worst-case approach to a quantitative measure of the fairness of a voting rule, called proportional fairness. Informally, it measures whether the influence of cohesive groups of agents on the voting outcome is proportional to the group size. We show that there is a voting rule which, without knowledge of the utilities, can achieve a $Θ(\log m)$-approximation to proportional fairness, and thus also to Nash welfare and to the core, making it interesting for applications in participatory budgeting. For all three approximations, we show that $Θ(\log m)$ is the best possible.

Particle motion driven by non-uniform thermodynamic forces

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We present a complete reciprocal description of particle motion inside multi-component fluids that extends the conventional Onsager formulation of non-equilibrium transport to systems where the thermodynamic forces are non-uniform on the colloidal scale. Based on the dynamic length and time scale separation in suspensions, the particle flux is shown to be related to the volume-averaged coupling between the Stokes flow tensor and the thermodynamic force density acting on the fluid. The flux is then expressed in terms of thermodynamic quantities that can be computed from the interfacial properties and equation of state of the colloids. Our results correctly describe diffusion and sedimentation, and suggest that force-free phoretic motion can occur even in the absence of interfacial interactions, provided that the thermodynamic gradients are non-uniform at the colloidal surface. In particular, we derive an explicit hydrodynamic form for the phoretic force resulting from these non-uniform gradients. The form is validated by the recovery of the Henry function for electrophoresis and the Ruckenstein term for thermophoresis.

Visual Guidance for User Placement in Avatar-Mediated Telepresence between Dissimilar Spaces

description: Rapid advances in technology gradually realize immersive mixed-reality (MR) telepresence between distant spaces. This paper presents a novel visual guidance system for avatar-mediated telepresence, directing users to optimal placements that facilitate the clear transfer of gaze and pointing contexts through remote avatars in dissimilar spaces, where the spatial relationship between the remote avatar and the interaction targets may differ from that of the local user. Representing the spatial relationship between the user/avatar and interaction targets with angle-based interaction features, we assign recommendation scores of sampled local placements as their maximum feature similarity with remote placements. These scores are visualized as color-coded 2D sectors to inform the users of better placements for interaction with selected targets. In addition, virtual objects of the remote space are overlapped with the local space for the user to better understand the recommendations. We examine whether the proposed score measure agrees with the actual user perception of the partner's interaction context and find a score threshold for recommendation through user experiments in virtual reality (VR). A subsequent user study in VR investigates the effectiveness and perceptual overload of different combinations of visualizations. Finally, we conduct a user study in an MR telepresence scenario to evaluate the effectiveness of our method in real-world applications.
