Transportation-based functional ANOVA and PCA for covariance operators

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel, Valentina Masarotto

We consider the problem of comparing several samples of stochastic processes with respect to their second-order structure, and describing the main modes of variation in this second order structure, if present. These tasks can be seen as an Analysis of Vari ...

Decision Procedures for Power Structures

Rodrigo Raya

We study the decision problem for the existential fragment of the theory of power structures. We prove complexity results that parallel the decidability results of Feferman-Vaught for the theories of product structures thereby showing that the construction ...

LISA – A Modern Proof System

Viktor Kuncak, Simon Guilloud, Sankalp Gambhir

We present LISA, a proof system and proof assistant for constructing proofs in schematic first-order logic and axiomatic set theory. The logical kernel of the system is a proof checker for first-order logic with equality and schematic predicate and fun ...

Higher-order organization of multivariate time series

Enrico Amico, Andrea Santoro

Time series analysis has proven to be a powerful method to characterize several phenomena in biology, neuroscience and economics, and to understand some of their underlying dynamical features. Several methods have been proposed for the analysis of multivar ...

Scaling Language Features for Program Verification

Georg Stefan Schmid

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

Reduced-order Models for Simulating Coupled Geometric Instabilities in Steel Beam-columns Under Inelastic Cyclic Straining

Alexander Riley Hartloper

Numerical models that can simulate coupled geometric instabilities in steel beam-columns are required for the seismic assessment of certain steel moment-resisting frames. Reliably simulating coupled instabilities requires that the steel material is precise ...

Regularity of solutions for a fourth-order elliptic system via Conservation law

Changyu Guo

In this paper, we obtain interior Holder continuity for solutions of the fourth-order elliptic system Delta(2)u = Delta(V center dot del u) + div(w del u) + W center dot del u formulated by Lamm and Riviere [Comm. Partial Differential Equations 33 (2008) 2 ...

Procrustes Metrics and Optimal Transport for Covariance Operators

Valentina Masarotto

Covariance operators play a fundamental role in functional data analysis, providing the canonical means to analyse functional variation via the celebrated Karhunen-Loève expansion. These operators may themselves be subject to variation, for instance in con ...

Configuration logics: Modeling architecture styles

Simon Bliudze, Joseph Sifakis, Anastasia Mavridou, Eduard Baranov

We study a framework for the specification of architecture styles as families of architectures involving a common set of types of components and coordination mechanisms. The framework combines two logics: 1) interaction logics for the specification of arch ...

Inverter Propagation and Fan-Out Constraints for Beyond-CMOS Majority-Based Technologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Eleonora Testa

Traditional logic synthesis faces challenges of meeting the requirements demanded by the many emerging nanotech-nologies that are based on logic models different from standard CMOS. Several emerging nanodevices including Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) ...

Higher-Order Subtyping with Type Intervals

Sandro Stucki

Modern, statically typed programming languages provide various abstraction facilities at both the term- and type-level. Common abstraction mechanisms for types include parametric polymorphism -- a hallmark of functional languages -- and subtyping -- which ...

Coherent generation of symmetry-forbidden phonons by light-induced electron-phonon interactions in magnetite

Oleg Yazyev, Fabrizio Carbone, Frank van Mourik, Edoardo Baldini, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Andreas Helmut Christian Mann, Simone Borroni

Symmetry breaking across phase transitions often causes changes in selection rules and emergence of optical modes which can be detected via spectroscopic techniques or generated coherently in pump-probe experiments. In second-order or weakly first-order tr ...

Modelling Architecture Styles

Anastasia Mavridou

Software systems tend to increase over time in size and complexity. Their development usually spans a long period of time and often results in systems that are hard to understand, debug and maintain. Architectures are common means for organising coordinati ...

A Note on the Expressiveness of BIP

Simon Bliudze, Eduard Baranov

We extend our previous algebraic formalisation of the notion of component-based framework in order to formally define two forms, strong and weak, of the notion of full expressiveness. Our earlier result shows that the BIP (Behaviour-Interaction-Priority) f ...

Dispersion operators and resistant second-order functional data analysis

Victor Panaretos, David Kraus

Inferences related to the second-order properties of functional data, as expressed by covariance structure, can become unreliable when the data are non-Gaussian or contain unusual observations. In the functional setting, it is often difficult to identify a ...

Sets with Cardinality Constraints in Satisfiability Modulo Theories

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter

Boolean Algebra with Presburger Arithmetic (BAPA) is a decidable logic that can express constraints on sets of elements and their cardinalities. Problems from verification of complex properties of software often contain fragments that belong to quantifier- ...

Towards Complete Reasoning about Axiomatic Specifications

Viktor Kuncak, Swen Jacobs

To support verification of expressive properties of functional programs, we consider algebraic style specifications that may relate multiple user-defined functions, and compare multiple invocations of a function for different arguments. We present decision ...

Cryptographic Hash Functions in Groups and Provable Properties

We consider several "provably secure" hash functions that compute simple sums in a well chosen group (G,*). Security properties of such functions provably translate in a natural way to computational problems in G that are simple to define and possibly also ...

Building a Calculus of Data Structures
