Higher-order moments of the elliptic flow distribution in PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV

Jian Wang, Matthias Finger, Qian Wang, Yiming Li, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Matthias Wolf, Varun Sharma, Yi Zhang, Tian Cheng, Yixing Chen, Alexis Kalogeropoulos, Ioannis Papadopoulos, Hua Zhang, Siyuan Wang, Xin Chen, Michele Bianco, Sebastiana Gianì, Sun Hee Kim, Davide Di Croce, Jian Zhao, Rakesh Chawla, Jan Steggemann, Konstantin Androsov, Anna Mascellani, Federica Legger, Matteo Galli, Gabriele Grosso

The hydrodynamic flow-like behavior of charged hadrons in high-energy lead-lead collisions is studied through multiparticle correlations. The elliptic anisotropy values based on different orders of multiparticle cumulants, v(2){2k}, are measured up to the ...

Extensions of Peer Prediction Incentive Mechanisms

Adam Julian Richardson

As large, data-driven artificial intelligence models become ubiquitous, guaranteeing high data quality is imperative for constructing models. Crowdsourcing, community sensing, and data filtering have long been the standard approaches to guaranteeing or imp ...

Parabolic stochastic PDEs on bounded domains with rough initial conditions: moment and correlation bounds

Le Chen, Cheuk Yin Lee, David Jean-Michel Candil

We consider nonlinear parabolic stochastic PDEs on a bounded Lipschitz domain driven by a Gaussian noise that is white in time and colored in space, with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition. We establish existence, uniqueness and moment bounds of the r ...

Euclid preparation: XXVIII. Forecasts for ten different higher-order weak lensing statistics

Maurizio Martinelli, Frédéric Courbin, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel

Recent cosmic shear studies have shown that higher-order statistics (HOS) developed by independent teams now outperform standard two-point estimators in terms of statistical precision thanks to their sensitivity to the non-Gaussian features of large-scale ...

An equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimator for defeaturing problems

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

An a posteriori error estimator based on an equilibrated flux reconstruction is proposed for defeaturing problems in the context of finite element discretizations. Defeaturing consists in the simplification of a geometry by removing features that are consi ...

Stochastic particle transport by deep-water irregular breaking waves

Debbie Eeltink

Correct prediction of particle transport by surface waves is crucial in many practical applications such as search and rescue or salvage operations and pollution tracking and clean-up efforts. Recent results by Deike et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 829, 2017, ...

Numerical simulations of gas puff imaging using a multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction in the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A three-dimensional simulation of gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostics is carried out by using a self-consistent multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction. The simulation, based on the drift-reduced Braginskii model for the plasma and a kinetic ...

Convergence of adaptive algorithms for constrained weakly convex optimization

Volkan Cevher, Ahmet Alacaoglu, Yurii Malitskyi

We analyze the adaptive first order algorithm AMSGrad, for solving a constrained stochastic optimization problem with a weakly convex objective. We prove the

\tilde O(t^{-1/2})

rate of convergence for the squared norm of the gradient of Moreau envelope, ...

Distributionally Robust Mechanism Design

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Cagil Kocyigit

We study a mechanism design problem where an indivisible good is auctioned to multiple bidders, for each of whom it has a private value that is unknown to the seller and the other bidders. The agents perceive the ensemble of all bidder values as a random v ...

Distributionally Robust Optimization with Polynomial Densities: Theory, Models and Algorithms

Daniel Kuhn

In distributionally robust optimization the probability distribution of the uncertain problem parameters is itself uncertain, and a fictitious adversary, e.g., nature, chooses the worst distribution from within a known ambiguity set. A common shortcoming o ...

Optimal lower bounds on hitting probabilities for stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension k >= 1

Robert Dalang, Fei Pu

We establish a sharp estimate on the negative moments of the smallest eigenvalue of the Malliavin matrix gamma z of Z := (u(s, y), u(t , x) - u(s, y)), where u is the solution to a system of d non-linear stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension k >= ...

Distributional Robustness in Mechanism Design

Cagil Kocyigit

Mechanism design theory examines the design of allocation mechanisms or incentive systems involving multiple rational but self-interested agents and plays a central role in many societally important problems in economics. In mechanism design problems, agen ...

The static and dynamic structural heterogeneities of B-DNA: extending Calladine-Dickerson rules

John Maddocks, Marco Pasi, Daiva Petkeviciute, Alessandro Samuele Patelli

We present a multi-laboratory effort to describe the structural and dynamical properties of duplex B-DNA under physiological conditions. By processing a large amount of atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we determine the sequence-dependent structura ...

Reconstructing the Drizzle Mode of the Raindrop Size Distribution Using Double-Moment Normalization

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

Commonly used disdrometers tend not to accurately measure concentrations of very small drops in the raindrop size distribution (DSD), either through truncation of the DSD at the small-drop end or because of large uncertainties on these measurements. Recent ...

Truncated Levy motion through path integrals and applications to nondiffusive suprathermal ion transport

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Fractional Levy motion has been derived from its generalized Langevin equation via path integrals in earlier works and has since proven to be a useful model for nonlocal and non-Markovian processes, especially in the context of nondiffusive transport. Here ...

Quantifying uncertainties in contact mechanics of rough surfaces using the multilevel Monte Carlo method

Fabio Nobile, Sebastian Krumscheid, Valentine Ginette Madeleine Rey

We quantify the effect of uncertainties on quantities of interest related to contact mechanics of rough surfaces. Specifically, we consider the problem of frictionless non adhesive normal contact between two semi infinite linear elastic solids subject to u ...

Resonant optical trapping in hollow photonic crystal cavities and its potential use for bacterial characterisation

Meandering particle bunches and a link between averages of time series of particle counts and higher-order moments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

Time-averaged spatially resolved measurements are used in many fields of physics to determine spatial distributions of a physical quantity. Although one could think that time averaging suppresses all information on time variation, there are some situations ...
