GLOBALLY plus -REGULAR VARIETIES AND THE MINIMAL MODEL PROGRAM FOR THREEFOLDS IN MIXED CHARACTERISTIC

Zsolt Patakfalvi

We establish the Minimal Model Program for arithmetic threefolds whose residue characteristics are greater than five. In doing this, we generalize the theory of global F-regularity to mixed characteristic and identify certain stable sections of adjoint lin ...

Adaptive Risk-Based Replanning For Human-Aware Multi-Robot Task Allocation With Local Perception

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour

In this letter, we propose an adaptive risk-based replanning strategy in the context of multirobot task allocation for dealing with limitations of local perception and unpredicted human behavior. Our replanning method is based on the variations of social r ...

Using the Neurorobotics platform to explain global processing in visual crowding

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Alban Bornet

The Neurorobotics Platform of the Human Brain Project hosts many different large-scale models that can easily be connected with each other. Here, we linked a deep neural network for saliency computation to a spiking cortical model for visual segmentation ( ...

Real-Time Control of Microgrids with Explicit Power Setpoints: Unintentional Islanding

Mario Paolone, Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Andrey Bernstein

We propose a method to perform a safe unintentional islanding maneuver of microgrids. The method is derived in the context of a framework for the real-time control of microgrids, called Commelec, recently proposed by the authors. The framework uses a hiera ...

Estimating MFDs in simple networks with route choice

Nikolaos Geroliminis

The concept of the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) is elegant and attractive because it provides a global view of traffic behavior and performance at a network level. However, recent research shows that the MFD shape can be influenced by local traffi ...
