Consistency of cross validation for comparing regression procedures
Theoretical developments on cross validation (CV) have mainly focused on selecting one among a list of finite-dimensional models (e.g., subset or order selection in linear regression) or selecting a smoothing parameter (e.g., bandwidth for kernel smoothing). However, little is known about consistency of cross validatio...

Locked constraint satisfaction problems
We introduce and study the random "locked" constraint satisfaction problems. When increasing the density of constraints, they display a broad "clustered" phase in which the space of solutions is divided into many isolated points. While the phase diagram can be found easily, these problems, in their clustered phase, are...

Diversity and relative arbitrage in equity markets
A financial market is called "diverse" if no single stock is ever allowed to dominate the entire market in terms of relative capitalization. In the context of the standard Ito-process model initiated by Samuelson (1965) we formulate this property (and the allied, successively weaker notions of "weak diversity" and "asy...

Averaging of Nonlinearity Management with Dissipation
Motivated by recent experiments in optics and atomic physics, we derive an averaged nonlinear partial differential equation describing the dynamics of the complex field in a nonlinear Schroedinger model in the presence of a periodic nonlinearity and a periodically-varying dissipation coefficient. The incorporation of d...

Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission III. The spectroscopic transit of CoRoT-Exo-2b with SOPHIE and HARPS

The Fourier spectrum of critical percolation
Consider the indicator function $f$ of a two-dimensional percolation crossing event. In this paper, the Fourier transform of $f$ is studied and sharp bounds are obtained for its lower tail in several situations. Various applications of these bounds are derived. In particular, we show that the set of exceptional times o...

A Multiply Imaged Luminous Infrared Galaxy Behind the Bullet Cluster
We present evidence for a Spitzer-selected luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) behind the Bullet Cluster. The galaxy, originally identified in IRAC photometry as a multiply imaged source, has a spectral energy distribution consistent with a highly extincted (A_V~3.3), strongly star-forming galaxy at z=2.7. Using our strong...

However, the extent to which interference can be aligned over a finite number of signalling dimensions remains unknown. Another important concern for interference alignment schemes is...

From time series to complex networks: the visibility graph
In this work we present a simple and fast computational method, the visibility algorithm, that converts a time series into a graph. The constructed graph inherits several properties of the series in its structure. Thereby, periodic series convert into regular graphs, and random series do so into random graphs. Moreover...

Constraints on the non-linear coupling parameter fnl with the Archeops data
We present a Gaussianity analysis of the Archeops Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropy data maps at high resolution to constrain the non-linear coupling parameter fnl characterising well motivated non-Gaussian CMB models. We used the data collected by the most sensitive Archeops bolometer at 143 GHz...

Support Vector Machine Classification with Indefinite Kernels
We propose a method for support vector machine classification using indefinite kernels. Instead of directly minimizing or stabilizing a nonconvex loss function, our algorithm simultaneously computes support vectors and a proxy kernel matrix used in forming the loss. This can be interpreted as a penalized kernel learnin...

Rise of the centrist: from binary to continuous opinion dynamics
We propose a model that extends the binary ``united we stand, divided we fall'' opinion dynamics of Sznajd-Weron to handle continuous and multi-state discrete opinions. Disagreement dynamics are often ignored in continuous extensions of the binary rules, so we make the most symmetric continuum extension of the binary m...

Optimal cloning of unitary transformations
After proving a general no-cloning theorem for black boxes, we derive the optimal universal cloning of unitary transformations, from one to two copies. The optimal cloner is realized by quantum channels with memory, and greately outperforms the optimal measure-and-reprepare cloning strategy. Applications are outlined, ...

Nonmodal energy growth and optimal perturbations in compressible plane Couette flow

The maximum amplification of perturbation energy over time, $G_{\max}$, is found to increase with increasing Reynolds number ${\it Re}$, but decreases wit...

What is the best way to measure baryonic acoustic oscillations?
Oscillations in the baryon-photon fluid prior to recombination imprint different signatures on the power spectrum and correlation function of matter fluctuations. The measurement of these features using galaxy surveys has been proposed as means to determine the equation of state of the dark energy. The accuracy require...

On the Convexity of the MSE Region of Single-Antenna Users
We prove convexity of the sum-power constrained mean square error (MSE) region in case of two single-antenna users communicating with a multi-antenna base station. Due to the MSE duality this holds both for the vector broadcast channel and the dual multiple access channel. Increasing the number of users to more than tw...

Efficient positronium laser excitation for antihydrogen production in a magnetic field
Antihydrogen production by charge exchange reaction between Positronium (Ps) atoms and antiprotons requires an efficient excitation of Ps atoms up to high-n levels (Rydberg levels). In this study it is assumed that a Ps cloud is produced within a relatively strong uniform magnetic field (1 Tesla) and with a relatively ...

In the first part, we focus on the theory of L\'{e}vy processes. We analyze a `toy' example of a L\'{e}vy process, viz. a L\'{e}vy jump-diffusion, which yet offers significant insight...
