Title: History-aware Autonomous Exploration in Confined Environments using MAVs, Abstract: Many scenarios require a robot to be able to explore its 3D environment online without human supervision. This is especially relevant for inspection tasks and search and rescue missions. To solve this high-dimensional path planni...

Title: A factor-model approach for correlation scenarios and correlation stress-testing, Abstract: In 2012, JPMorgan accumulated a USD~6.2 billion loss on a credit derivatives portfolio, the so-called `London Whale', partly as a consequence of de-correlations of non-perfectly correlated positions that were supposed to ...

Title: Topology data analysis of critical transitions in financial networks, Abstract: We develop a topology data analysis-based method to detect early signs for critical transitions in financial data. From the time-series of multiple stock prices, we build time-dependent correlation networks, which exhibit topological...

Title: Construction of exact constants of motion and effective models for many-body localized systems, Abstract: One of the defining features of many-body localization is the presence of extensively many quasi-local conserved quantities. These constants of motion constitute a corner-stone to an intuitive understanding ...

Title: Toric manifolds over cyclohedra, Abstract: We study the action of the dihedral group on the (equivariant) cohomology of the toric manifolds associated with cycle graphs.

Title: Use of Genome Information-Based Potentials to Characterize Human Adaptation, Abstract: As a living information and communications system, the genome encodes patterns in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reflecting human adaption that optimizes population survival in differing environments. This paper mathem...

Title: Communication-Efficient Algorithms for Decentralized and Stochastic Optimization, Abstract: We present a new class of decentralized first-order methods for nonsmooth and stochastic optimization problems defined over multiagent networks. Considering that communication is a major bottleneck in decentralized optimi...
