Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Alberto Crepaldi, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

Linear and nonlinear substructured Restricted Additive Schwarz iterations and preconditioning

Tommaso Vanzan

Iterative substructuring Domain Decomposition (DD) methods have been extensively studied, and they are usually associated with nonoverlapping decompositions. It is less known that classical overlapping DD methods can also be formulated in substructured for ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Further results on latent discourse models and word embeddings

Youssef Allouah

We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...

Collaborative Learning in the Jungle (Decentralized, Byzantine, Heterogeneous, Asynchronous and Nonconvex Learning)

Rachid Guerraoui, El Mahdi El Mhamdi, Sébastien Louis Alexandre Rouault, Le Nguyen Hoang, Arsany Hany Abdelmessih Guirguis, Sadegh Farhadkhani

We study Byzantine collaborative learning, where n nodes seek to collectively learn from each others' local data. The data distribution may vary from one node to another. No node is trusted, and f < n nodes can behave arbitrarily. We prove that collaborati ...

Coarse graining and large-N behavior of the d-dimensional N-clock model

Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We study the asymptotic behavior of the N-clock model, a nearest neighbors ferromagnetic spin model on the d-dimensional cubic epsilon-lattice in which the spin field is constrained to take values in a discretization S-N of the unit circle S-1 consisting o ...

Proximity Results and Faster Algorithms for Integer Programming Using the Steinitz Lemma

Friedrich Eisenbrand

We consider integer programming problems in standard form max{c(T)x : Ax = b, x >= 0, x is an element of Z(n)} where A is an element of Z(mxn), b is an element of Z(m), and c is an element of Z(n). We show that such an integer program can be solved in time ...

On the density of the supremum of the solution to the linear stochastic heat equation

Robert Dalang, Fei Pu

We study the regularity of the probability density function of the supremum of the solution to the linear stochastic heat equation. Using a general criterion for the smoothness of densities for locally nondegenerate random variables, we establish the smoot ...

MOSES: A Streaming Algorithm for Linear Dimensionality Reduction

Armin Eftekhari

This paper introduces Memory-limited Online Subspace Estimation Scheme (MOSES) for both estimating the principal components of streaming data and reducing its dimension. More specifically, in various applications such as sensor networks, the data vectors a ...

Computational Analysis of the Mutual Constraints between Single‐Cell Growth and Division Control Models

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Gaëlle Madeleine Vuaridel, Ambroise Roger Vuaridel

Three models of division control are proposed to achieve cell size homeostasis: sizer, timer, and adder. However, few published studies of division control take into account the dynamics of single‐cell growth and most assume that single‐cell growth is expo ...

Non-Abelian band topology in noninteracting metals

Quansheng Wu

Electron energy bands of crystalline solids generically exhibit degeneracies called band-structure nodes. Here, we introduce non-Abelian topological charges that characterize line nodes inside the momentum space of crystalline metals with space-time invers ...

Arithmetic and geometric structures in cryptography

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski

We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...

Structure preserving model reduction of parametric Hamiltonian systems

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Babak Maboudi Afkham

While reduced-order models (ROMs) are popular for approximately solving large systems of differential equations, the stability of reduced models over long-time integration remains an open question. We present a greedy approach for ROM generation of paramet ...

Motion Vector Estimation of Textureless Objects Exploiting Reaction-Diffusion Cellular Automata

Alexandre Schmid

Conventional motion estimation algorithms extract motion vectors from image sequences based on the image's local-brightness differences in consecutive images. Therefore, motion vectors are extracted along the moving edges formed by moving objects over thei ...
