In this thesis, we concentrate on advancing high-level behavioral control policies for robotic systems within the framework of Dynamical Systems (DS). Throughout the course of this research, a unifying thread weaving through diverse fields emerges, and tha ...
We derive algorithms for efficient secure numerical and logical operations in the semi-honest model ensuring statistical or perfect security for secure multi-party computation (MPC). To derive our algorithms for trigonometric functions, we use basic mathem ...
The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...
Pushed by the proliferation of antennas and of multiuser scenarios, matrices with random entries are appearing more and more frequently in information theory. This leads to the study of matrix channels, where the capacity depends on the distribution of the ...
The objective of this PhD thesis is the translation of, and the mathematical commentary on, a 16th-century Latin book. Its author, Diego Palomino is not well known. With a background in theology, he was a prior. In order to obtain his PhD at the University ...
David Ross Brillinger was born on the 27th of October 1937, in Toronto, Canada. In 1955, he entered the University of Toronto, graduating with a B. A. with Honours in Pure Mathematics in 1959, while also serving as a Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Naval ...
In any sport or human endeavor, coaches regularly state “play to your strengths.” One might not guess that a land-locked, mountainous country like Switzerland would have strengths that would give them a chance at winning the oldest, most competitive sailin ...
