A unified model for Sierpinski networks with scale-free scaling and small-world effect
In this paper, we propose an evolving Sierpinski gasket, based on which we establish a model of evolutionary Sierpinski networks (ESNs) that unifies deterministic Sierpinski network [Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 60}, 259 (2007)] and random Sierpinski network [Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 65}, 141 (2008)] to the same framework. We sugg...

Supercooled Liquids for Pedestrians
When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its metastable phase and to avoid crystallization. In this way the liquid enters in the supercooled phase. Supercooled liquids have a very ri...

Differentially Private Combinatorial Optimization
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients", open a set of at most $k$ facilities to minimize the average distance from the clients to these facilities. This is just the well-studied $k$-median problem, for which many approximation algorithms and hardness results are known. ...

Convergent relaxations of polynomial optimization problems with non-commuting variables

Orbiting binary black hole evolutions with a multipatch high order finite-difference approach
We present numerical simulations of orbiting black holes for around twelve cycles, using a high-order multipatch approach. Unlike some other approaches, the computational speed scales almost perfectly for thousands of processors. Multipatch methods are an alternative to AMR (adaptive mesh refinement), with benefits of ...

A Bayesian approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves: Reconsidering Scorpius X-1 occultations
We present a new approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves, such as those in the x-ray at the center of the Scorpius X-1 occultation debate. Our method uses a new parameterization for such events (the bilogistic event profile) and provides a clear, physically relevant characterization of each event's ke...

Measurement of the WW production cross section with dilepton final states in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV and limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings
We provide the most precise measurement of the WW production cross section in p-pbar collisions to date at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, and set limits on the associated trilinear gauge couplings. The WW->lvl'v (l,l'=e,mu) decay channels are analyzed in 1 fb^(-1) of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermi...

(Meta) Kernelization
In a parameterized problem, every instance I comes with a positive integer k. The problem is said to admit a polynomial kernel if, in polynomial time, one can reduce the size of the instance I to a polynomial in k, while preserving the answer. In this work we give two meta-theorems on kernelzation. The first theorem sa...

Projective Space Codes for the Injection Metric
In the context of error control in random linear network coding, it is useful to construct codes that comprise well-separated collections of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field. In this paper, the metric used is the so-called "injection distance", introduced by Silva and Kschischang. A Gilbert-Varshamov bou...

The price impact of order book events: market orders, limit orders and cancellations

We provide here an empirical study of the cross-correlation between all these different events, and their respective i...

Cosmology of the Lifshitz universe
We study the ultraviolet complete non-relativistic theory recently proposed by Horava. After introducing a Lifshitz scalar for a general background, we analyze the cosmology of the model in Lorentzian and Euclidean signature. Vacuum solutions are found and it is argued the existence of non-singular bouncing profiles. W...

Solvable Lie A-algebras
A finite-dimensional Lie algebra $L$ over a field $F$ is called an $A$-algebra if all of its nilpotent subalgebras are abelian. This is analogous to the concept of an $A$-group: a finite group with the property that all of its Sylow subgroups are abelian. These groups were first studied in the 1940s by Philip Hall, and...

Origin of the spectral linewidth in non linear oscillators based on MgO tunnel junctions

The linewidth is almost not affected by decreasing the temperature. At very low currents, a strong enhancement of the linewidth at low temper...

First, for covering integer programs {min cx: Ax >= b, 0 <= x <= d} where A has at most k nonzeroes per row, we give a k-approximation algorithm. (We assume A, b, c, d are nonnegative.) For any k >= 2 and eps>0, if P !=...
