An Improved Bound on Sums of Square Roots via the Subspace Theorem

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Matthieu Nicolas Haeberle, Neta Singer

The sum of square roots is as follows: Given x1, . . ., xn ∈ Z and a1, . . ., an ∈ N decide whether E = Pni=1 xi √ai ≥ 0. It is a prominent open problem (Problem 33 of the Open Problems Project), whether this can be decided in polynomial time. The state-of ...

A ride time-oriented scheduling algorithm for dial-a-ride problems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Claudia Bongiovanni, Mor Kaspi

This paper offers a new algorithm to efficiently optimize scheduling decisions for dial-a-ride problems (DARPs), including problem variants considering electric and autonomous vehicles (e-ADARPs). The scheduling heuristic, based on linear programming theor ...

On distributional autoregression and iterated transportation

Victor Panaretos, Laya Ghodrati

We consider the problem of defining and fitting models of autoregressive time series of probability distributions on a compact interval of Double-struck capital R. An order-1 autoregressive model in this context is to be understood as a Markov chain, where ...

Stochastic quantisation of Yang-Mills-Higgs in 3D

Martin Hairer

We define a state space and a Markov process associated to the stochastic quantisation equation of Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) theories. The state space S is a nonlinear metric space of distributions, elements of which can be used as initial conditions for the ...

FETCH: A Fast and Efficient Technique for Channel Selection in EEG Wearable Systems

David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, José Angel Miranda Calero, Alireza Amirshahi, Jonathan Dan

The rapid development of wearable biomedical systems now enables real-time monitoring of electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Acquisition of these signals relies on electrodes. These systems must meet the design challenge of selecting an optimal set of el ...

Anomalous dissipation and other non-smooth phenomena in fluids

Massimo Sorella

The thesis is dedicated to the study of two main partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid dynamics: the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motion of incompressible fluids, and the transport equation with divergence-free velocity fields, whic ...

Multi-robot task allocation for safe planning against stochastic hazard dynamics

Maryam Kamgarpour

We address multi-robot safe mission planning in uncertain dynamic environments. This problem arises in several applications including safety-critical exploration, surveillance, and emergency rescue missions. Computation of a multi-robot optimal control pol ...

Approximation Algorithms for Allocation and Network Design

Etienne Michel François Bamas

In this thesis, we give new approximation algorithms for some NP-hard problems arising in resource allocation and network design. As a resource allocation problem, we study the Santa Claus problem (also known as the MaxMin Fair Allocation problem) in which ...

Distributionally Robust Linear Quadratic Control

Daniel Kuhn, Bahar Taskesen, Cagil Kocyigit

Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control is a fundamental control paradigm that is studied in various fields such as engineering, computer science, economics, and neuroscience. It involves controlling a system with linear dynamics and imperfect observations ...

On a Finite-Size Neuronal Population Equation

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Population equations for infinitely large networks of spiking neurons have a long tradition in theoret-ical neuroscience. In this work, we analyze a recent generalization of these equations to populations of finite size, which takes the form of a nonlinear ...

Optimal containment control for a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with actuator faults

Ju Wu

This article investigates the optimal containment control problem for a class of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with time-varying actuator faults and unmatched disturbances based on adaptive dynamic programming. Since there exist unknown input signals i ...

Routing and charging game in ride-hailing service with electric vehicles

John Lygeros, Kenan Zhang

This paper studies the routing and charging behaviors of electric vehicles in a competitive ride-hailing market. When the vehicles are idle, they can choose whether to continue cruising to search for passengers, or move a charging station to recharge. The ...

Results on Sparse Integer Programming and Geometric Independent Sets

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

An integer linear program is a problem of the form max{c^T x : Ax=b, x >= 0, x integer}, where A is in Z^(n x m), b in Z^m, and c in Z^n. Solving an integer linear program is NP-hard in general, but there are several assumptions for which it becomes fixed ...

Metastability of the Potts Ferromagnet on Random Regular Graphs

Jean Bernoulli Ravelomanana

We study the performance of Markov chains for the q-state ferromagnetic Potts model on random regular graphs. While the cases of the grid and the complete graph are by now well-understood, the case of random regular graphs has resisted a detailed analysis ...

Universal and adaptive methods for robust stochastic optimization

Ali Kavis

Within the context of contemporary machine learning problems, efficiency of optimization process depends on the properties of the model and the nature of the data available, which poses a significant problem as the complexity of either increases ad infinit ...

Gradient free cooperative seeking of a moving source

Tony Alan Wood

In this paper, we consider the optimisation of a time varying scalar field by a network of agents with no gradient information. We propose a composite control law, blending extremum seeking with formation control in order to converge to the extrema faster ...

Model Predictive Control for Multi-Agent Systems under Limited Communication and Time-Varying Network Topology

Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Danilo Saccani

In control system networks, reconfiguration of the controller when agents are leaving or joining the network is still an open challenge, in particular when operation constraints that depend on each agent's behavior must be met. Drawing our motivation from ...

Hidden Markov Modeling Over Graphs

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Mert Kayaalp

This work proposes a multi-agent filtering algorithm over graphs for finite-state hidden Markov models (HMMs), which can be used for sequential state estimation or for tracking opinion formation over dynamic social networks. We show that the difference fro ...
