Shrinking Horizon Model Predictive Control with Signal Temporal Logic Constraints under Stochastic Disturbances | We present Shrinking Horizon Model Predictive Control (SHMPC) for
discrete-time linear systems with Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specification
constraints under stochastic disturbances. The control objective is to maximize
an optimization function under the restriction that a given STL specification
is satisfied with ... | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Novel processes and metrics for a scientific evaluation rooted in the principles of science - Version 1 | Scientific evaluation is a determinant of how scientists, institutions and
funders behave, and as such is a key element in the making of science. In this
article, we propose an alternative to the current norm of evaluating research
with journal rank. Following a well-defined notion of scientific value, we
introduce q... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Topological quantization of energy transport in micro- and nano-mechanical lattices | Topological effects typically discussed in the context of quantum physics are
emerging as one of the central paradigms of physics. Here, we demonstrate the
role of topology in energy transport through dimerized micro- and
nano-mechanical lattices in the classical regime, i.e., essentially "masses and
springs". We sho... | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Environmental impact assessment for climate change policy with the simulation-based integrated assessment model E3ME-FTT-GENIE | A high degree of consensus exists in the climate sciences over the role that
human interference with the atmosphere is playing in changing the climate.
Following the Paris Agreement, a similar consensus exists in the policy
community over the urgency of policy solutions to the climate problem. The
context for climate... | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Nested Convex Bodies are Chaseable | In the Convex Body Chasing problem, we are given an initial point $v_0$ in
$R^d$ and an online sequence of $n$ convex bodies $F_1, ..., F_n$. When we
receive $F_i$, we are required to move inside $F_i$. Our goal is to minimize
the total distance travelled. This fundamental online problem was first studied
by Friedman... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Analytic properties of approximate lattices | We introduce a notion of cocycle-induction for strong uniform approximate
lattices in locally compact second countable groups and use it to relate
(relative) Kazhdan- and Haagerup-type of approximate lattices to the
corresponding properties of the ambient locally compact groups. Our approach
applies to large classes ... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Auxiliary Variables in TLA+ | Auxiliary variables are often needed for verifying that an implementation is
correct with respect to a higher-level specification. They augment the formal
description of the implementation without changing its semantics--that is, the
set of behaviors that it describes. This paper explains rules for adding
history, pr... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
A Homological model for the coloured Jones polynomials | In this paper we will present a homological model for Coloured Jones
Polynomials. For each color $N \in \N$, we will describe the invariant
$J_N(L,q)$ as a graded intersection pairing of certain homological classes in a
covering of the configuration space on the punctured disk. This construction is
based on the Lawre... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Extremes of threshold-dependent Gaussian processes | In this contribution we are concerned with the asymptotic behaviour as $u\to
\infty$ of $\mathbb{P}\{\sup_{t\in [0,T]} X_u(t)> u\}$, where $X_u(t),t\in
[0,T],u>0$ is a family of centered Gaussian processes with continuous
trajectories. A key application of our findings concerns

The null hypothesis of common jumps in case of irregular and asynchronous observations | This paper proposes novel tests for the absence of jumps in a univariate
semimartingale and for the absence of common jumps in a bivariate
semimartingale. Our methods rely on ratio statistics of power variations based
on irregular observations, sampled at different frequencies. We develop central
limit theorems for t... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Property Safety Stock Policy for Correlated Commodities Based on Probability Inequality | Deriving the optimal safety stock quantity with which to meet customer

assumption that... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Carleman estimates for the time-fractional advection-diffusion equations and applications | In this article, we prove Carleman estimates for the generalized
time-fractional advection-diffusion equations by considering the fractional
derivative as perturbation for the first order time-derivative. As a direct
application of the Carleman estimates, we show a conditional stability of a
lateral Cauchy problem fo... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Generating and Aligning from Data Geometries with Generative Adversarial Networks | Unsupervised domain mapping has attracted substantial attention in recent
years due to the success of models based on the cycle-consistency assumption.
These models map between two domains by fooling a probabilistic discriminator,
thereby matching the probability distributions of the real and generated data.
Instead ... | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Wolf-Rayet spin at low metallicity and its implication for Black Hole formation channels | The spin of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars at low metallicity (Z) is most relevant for
our understanding of gravitational wave sources such as GW 150914, as well as
the incidence of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Two scenarios have been
suggested for both phenomena: one of them involves rapid rotation and

What Drives the International Development Agenda? An NLP Analysis of the United Nations General Debate 1970-2016 | There is surprisingly little known about agenda setting for international

Randomizing growing networks with a time-respecting null model | Complex networks are often used to represent systems that are not static but
grow with time: people make new friendships, new papers are published and refer
to the existing ones, and so forth. To assess the statistical significance of
measurements made on such networks, we propose a randomization methodology---a

High-dimensional posterior consistency for hierarchical non-local priors in regression | The choice of tuning parameter in Bayesian variable selection is a critical

A metric of mutual energy and unlikely intersections for dynamical systems | We introduce a metric of mutual energy for adelic measures associated to the

systems,... | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Volvox barberi flocks, forming near-optimal, two-dimensional, polydisperse lattice packings | Volvox barberi is a multicellular green alga forming spherical colonies of
10000-50000 differentiated somatic and germ cells. Here, I show that these
colonies actively self-organize over minutes into "flocks" that can contain
more than 100 colonies moving and rotating collectively for hours. The colonies

Learning to Identify Ambiguous and Misleading News Headlines | Accuracy is one of the basic principles of journalism. However, it is

Evidence of Complex Contagion of Information in Social Media: An Experiment Using Twitter Bots | It has recently become possible to study the dynamics of information

systematically recurs is whether information spreads according to simple or
complex dynamics: does each... | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Birecurrent sets | A set is called recurrent if its minimal automaton is strongly connected and
