Title: Generalized Value Iteration Networks: Life Beyond Lattices, Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a generalized value iteration network (GVIN), which is an end-to-end neural network planning module. GVIN emulates the value iteration algorithm by using a novel graph convolution operator, which enables GVIN to lea...

Title: Switch Functions, Abstract: We define a switch function to be a function from an interval to $\{1,-1\}$ with a finite number of sign changes. (Special cases are the Walsh functions.) By a topological argument, we prove that, given $n$ real-valued functions, $f_1, \dots, f_n$, in $L^1[0,1]$, there exists a switch...

Title: First international comparison of fountain primary frequency standards via a long distance optical fiber link, Abstract: We report on the first comparison of distant caesium fountain primary frequency standards (PFSs) via an optical fiber link. The 1415 km long optical link connects two PFSs at LNE-SYRTE (Labora...

Title: Hardy inequalities, Rellich inequalities and local Dirichlet forms, Abstract: First the Hardy and Rellich inequalities are defined for the submarkovian operator associated with a local Dirichlet form. Secondly, two general conditions are derived which are sufficient to deduce the Rellich inequality from the Hard...

Title: On the generation of drift flows in wall-bounded flows transiting to turbulence, Abstract: Despite recent progress, laminar-turbulent coexistence in transitional planar wall-bounded shear flows is still not well understood. Contrasting with the processes by which chaotic flow inside turbulent patches is sustaine...

Title: Goldbach's Function Approximation Using Deep Learning, Abstract: Goldbach conjecture is one of the most famous open mathematical problems. It states that every even number, bigger than two, can be presented as a sum of 2 prime numbers. % In this work we present a deep learning based model that predicts the numbe...

Title: Estimation of a Continuous Distribution on a Real Line by Discretization Methods -- Complete Version--, Abstract: For an unknown continuous distribution on a real line, we consider the approximate estimation by the discretization. There are two methods for the discretization. First method is to divide the real l...
