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 ...

Persistence and the Sheaf-Function Correspondence

Nicolas Michel Berkouk

The sheaf-function correspondence identifies the group of constructible functions on a real analytic manifold M with the Grothendieck group of constructible sheaves on M. When M is a finite dimensional real vector space, Kashiwara-Schapira have recently in ...

Global Frobenius liftability I

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo p(2)-we expect that such varieties, after a finite stale cover, admit a toric fibration over an ordinary abelian v ...

On Sets Defining Few Ordinary Circles

Frank de Zeeuw

An ordinary circle of a set P of n points in the plane is defined as a circle that contains exactly three points of P. We show that if P is not contained in a line or a circle, then P spans at least ordinary circles. Moreover, we determine the exact minimu ...

A semi-algebraic version of Zarankiewicz's problem

János Pach

A bipartite graph G is semi-algebraic in R-d if its vertices are represented by point sets P,Q subset of R-d and its edges are defined as pairs of points (p,q) epsilon P x Q that satisfy a Boolean combination of a fixed number of polynomial equations and i ...

Distinct Distances on Algebraic Curves in the Plane

János Pach, Frank de Zeeuw

Let S be a set of n points in R-2 contained in an algebraic curve C of degree d. We prove that the number of distinct distances determined by S is at least c(d)n(4/3), unless C contains a line or a circle. We also prove the lower bound c(d)' min{m(2/3)n(2/ ...

On some algebraic and extremal problems in discrete geometry

Seyed Hossein Nassajianmojarrad

In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer

n\ge 3

, we define

e(n)

to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...

Few distinct distances implies no heavy lines or circles

Frank de Zeeuw

We study the structure of planar point sets that determine a small number of distinct distances. Specifically, we show that if a set of n points determines o(n) distinct distances, then no line contains Omega(n (7/8)) points of and no circle contains Omega ...

Generalized Virasoro algebra: left-symmetry and related algebraic and hydrodynamic properties

Tudor Ratiu

Motivated by the work of Kupershmidt (J. Nonlin. Math. Phys. 6 (1998), 222 -245) we discuss the occurrence of left symmetry in a generalized Virasoro algebra. The multiplication rule is defined, which is necessary and sufficient for this algebra to be quas ...

Distinct Values Of Bilinear Forms On Algebraic Curves

Let B-M : C x C -> C be a bilinear form B-M(p, q) - p(T)Mq, with an invertible matrix M is an element of C-2x2. We prove that any finite set S contained in an irreducible algebraic curve C of degree d in C determines Omega(d)(vertical bar S vertical bar(4/ ...

A Parametric Nonconvex Decomposition Algorithm for Real-Time and Distributed NMPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours

A novel decomposition scheme to solve parametric nonconvex programs as they arise in Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is presented. It consists of a fixed number of alternating proximal gradient steps and a dual update per time step. Hence, the pr ...

The xi-stability on the affine grassmannian

We introduce a notion of xi-stability on the affine grassmannian (SIC) for the classical groups, this is the local version of the xi-stability on the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve introduced by Chaudouard and Laumon. We prove that the quotient ( ...

A parametric multi-convex splitting technique with application to real-time NMPC

A novel splitting scheme to solve parametric multi-convex programs is presented. It consists of a fixed number of proximal alternating minimisations and a dual update per time step, which makes it attractive in a real-time Nonlinear Model Predictive Contro ...

Algebraic algorithms for network information flow

Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni

Ahlswede et al. in the seminal paper [1] have shown that in data transfer over networks, processing the data at the nodes can significantly improve the throughput. As proved by Li et al. in [2], even with a simple type of operation, namely linear operation ...

Linear Local Models for Monocular Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann

Recovering the 3D shape of a nonrigid surface from a single viewpoint is known to be both ambiguous and challenging. Resolving the ambiguities typically requires prior knowledge about the most likely deformations that the surface may undergo. It often take ...

Some remarks on orbit sets of unimodular rows

Jean Fasel

Let A be a d-dimensional smooth algebra over a perfect field of characteristic not 2. Let Um(n+1)(A)/En+1 (A) be the set of unimodular rows of length n + 1 up to elementary transformations. If n >= (d + 2)/2, it carries a natural structure of group as disc ...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...

A geometric characterization of orient at ion-reversing involutions

We give a geometric characterization of compact Riemann surfaces admitting orientation-reversing involutions with fixed points. Such surfaces are generally called real surfaces and can be represented by real algebraic curves with non-empty real part. We sh ...
