Using a concept of filter we propose one generalization of Riemann integral, that is integration with respect to filter. We study this problem, demonstrate different properties and phenomena of filter integration.

The emergence of order in nature manifests in different phenomena, with synchronization being one of the most representative examples. Understanding the role played by the interactions between the constituting parts of a complex system in synchronization has become a pivotal research question bridging network science a...

We present a DNN accelerator that allows inference at arbitrary precision with dedicated processing elements that are configurable at the bit level. Our DNN accelerator has 8 Processing Elements controlled by a RISC-V controller with a combined 8.2 TMACs of computational power when implemented with the recent Alveo U25...

In this paper, we consider the optimization problem Submodular Cover (SCP), which is to find a minimum cardinality subset of a finite universe $U$ such that the value of a submodular function $f$ is above an input threshold $\tau$. In particular, we consider several variants of SCP including the general case, the case ...

Photons are emitted at all stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and do not interact with the medium strongly. With access to the versatility of RHIC, measurements of low momentum direct photons are made possible across different system size and beam energies. An excess of direct photons, above prompt photon prod...

Many bosons can occupy a single quantum state without a limit. This state is described by quantum-mechanical Bose-Einstein statistics, which allows the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate at low temperatures and high particle densities. Photons, historically the first considered bosonic gas, were late to show this ...

Inspired by presentations by the authors during a workshop organized at the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science (PCTS) in January 2022, we present a perspective on some of the outstanding questions related to the "physics of the ground beneath our feet." These identified challenges are intrinsically shared with th...
