The extent and importance of cloud computing is rapidly increasing due to the ever increasing demand for internet services and communications. Instead of building individual information technology infrastructure to host databases or software, a third party can host them in its large server clouds. Large organizations may wish to keep sensitive information on their more restricted servers rather than in the public cloud. This has led to the introduction of federated cloud computing (FCC) in...

We present a necessary condition under which a collinear ferromagnet Fe$_{1-x}A_{x}$ ($A={\rm Pt},{\rm Ni}$) with disordered face-centered-cubic structure exhibits the Invar effect. The condition involves the rate at which the fraction of Fe moments that are antiferromagnetically aligned with the magnetization fluctuates as the system is heated, $dx^{{\rm Fe}\downarrow}/dT$. Another contributing factor is the magnetostructural coupling $\kappa=-(1/V)(\partial V / \partial x^{{\rm...

We construct parent Hamiltonians involving only local 2-body interactions for a broad class of Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS). Making use of perturbation gadget techniques, we define a perturbative Hamiltonian acting on the virtual PEPS space with a finite order low energy effective Hamiltonian that is a gapped, frustration-free parent Hamiltonian for an encoded version of a desired PEPS. For topologically ordered PEPS, the ground space of the low energy effective Hamiltonian is shown...

Automatic extraction methods typically assume that line segments are pronounced, thin, few and far between, do not cross each other, and are noise and clutter-free. Since these assumptions often fail in realistic scenarios, many line segments are not detected or are fragmented. In more severe cases, i.e., many who use the Hough Transform, extraction can fail entirely. In this paper, we propose a method that tackles these issues. Its key aspect is the combination of thresholded image derivatives...

When the kinetic energy of a collection of interacting two-dimensional (2D) electrons is quenched at very high magnetic fields so that the Coulomb repulsion dominates, the electrons are expected to condense into an ordered array, forming a quantum Wigner crystal (WC).

Here, we report for the first time the observation of propagating multi-soliton polariton patterns consisting of multi-peak structures either along (x) or perpendicular to (y) the direction of propagation. Soliton arrays of up to 5 solitons are observed, with the number of solitons controlled by the size or power of the...

The analysis makes use of the full range of available high-energy scattering data for Q^2 > 1 GeV^2 and W^2 > 3.5 GeV^2, including fixed-target proton and deuteron cross sections at lower energies that were excluded in previous global analyses. The expanded data set places more stringent constraints on the momentum...

We use H-band Mg and Al features to derive calibrations for effective temperature, radius and log luminosity; the standard deviations in the...

This method integrates three different concepts related to the presence of horizon in maritime images to increase the accuracy of horizon detection. Specifically it uses the persistence of horizon in multi-scale median filtering, and its detection as a linear feature commonly detected by two different methods, namely the Hough transform of edgemap and the intensity gradient.

A mutation will affect an individual and some or all of its descendants. In this paper, we investigate ordered trees with a distinguished vertex called the mutator. We describe various mutations in ordered trees, and find the generating functions for statistics concerning trees with those mutations. The examples give new interpretations to several known sequences and also introduce many new sequences and their combinatorial interpretations.

Pseudo-arcs are the higher dimensional analogues of arcs in a projective plane: a pseudo-arc is a set $\mathcal{A}$ of $(n-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(3n-1,q)$ such that any three span the whole space. Pseudo-arcs of size $q^n+1$ are called pseudo-ovals, while pseudo-arcs of size $q^n+2$ are called pseudo-hyperovals. A pseudo-arc is called elementary if it arises from applying field reduction to an arc in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$. We explain the connection between dual pseudo-ovals and elation...

In recent decades, the spin and transverse momentum of quarks and gluons were found to play integral roles in the structure of the nucleon. Simultaneously, the onset of gluon saturation in hadrons and nuclei at high energies was predicted to result in a new state of matter dominated by classical gluon fields.

In general, these reduced Lagrangian systems have magnetic force terms and are singular in the sense that the Lagrangian does not depend on some velocity components. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the Routh reduction process itself is entirely captured by the application...

Sampling theory has traditionally drawn tools from functional and complex analysis. Past successes, such as the Shannon-Nyquist theorem and recent advances in frame theory, have relied heavily on the application of geometry and analysis. The reliance on geometry and analysis means that the results are geometrically rigid. There is a subtle interplay between the topology of the domain of the functions being sampled, and the class of functions themselves. Bandlimited functions are somewhat...

Our everyday experience teaches us that the structure of a medium strongly influences how light propagates through it. A disordered medium, e.g., appears transparent or opaque, depending on whether its structure features a mean free path that is larger or smaller than the medium thickness. While the microstructure of the medium uniquely determines the shape of all penetrating light paths, recent theoretical insights indicate that the mean length of these paths is entirely independent of any...

The oscillator can be in a classical thermal state, the effect $\Delta T$ is classical for a wide range of frequencies and quality factors. We note that the test of $\Delta T$ does not necessitate...

We divide the possible failure mechanisms into two sets: small gaps due to quantum phase transitions and small gaps due to avoided crossings inside a phase. We argue that the thermodynamic order of the phase transitions is not predictive of the scaling of the gap with the system size. On the contrary, we also argue that, if the phase surrounding the problem Hamiltonian is a...

Multiply constant-weight codes (MCWCs) have been recently studied to improve the reliability of certain physically unclonable function response. In this paper, we give combinatorial constructions for MCWCs which yield several new infinite families of optimal MCWCs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the Johnson type upper bounds of MCWCs are asymptotically tight for fixed weights and distances. Finally, we provide bounds and constructions of two dimensional MCWCs.

Motivated by direct laser acceleration of electrons in sub-critical plasmas, we examine temporal resolution requirements that must be satisfied to accurately calculate electron dynamics in strong laser fields. Using the motion of a single electron in a perfect plane electromagnetic wave as a test problem, we show surprising deterioration of the numerical accuracy with increasing wave amplitude...

We consider the problem of a slender rod slipping along a rough surface. Painlev\'e showed that the governing rigid body equations for this problem can exhibit multiple solutions (the {\it indeterminate} case) or no solutions at all (the {\it inconsistent} case), provided the coefficient of friction $\mu$ exceeds a certain critical value $\mu_P$. Subsequently G\'enot and Brogliato proved that, from a consistent state, the rod cannot reach an inconsistent state through slipping. Instead the rod...

We study anomalous conductivities in Chiral Superfluids in the framework of two different holographic models, by means of Kubo formulae. In addition, we point out the existence of an anomalous transport phenomenon that consists in the presence of a charge density when the superfluid velocity is aligned with a magnetic field. It has been pointed out recently that certain chiral conductivities in holographic superfluids exhibit universal behavior at zero temperature. We show that anomalous...

Deletion-restriction is a fundamental tool in the theory of hyperplane arrangements. Various important results in this field have been proved using deletion-restriction. In this paper we use deletion-restriction to identify a class of toric arrangements for which the cohomology algebra of the complement is generated in degree $1$. We also show that for these arrangements the complement is formal in the sense of Sullivan.

We prove the elementary but surprising fact that the Hofer distance between two closed subsets of a symplectic manifold can be expressed in terms of the restrictions of Hamiltonians to one of the subsets; this helps explain certain energy-capacity inequalities that appeared recently in work of Borman-McLean and Humiliere-Leclercq-Seyfaddini. We also build on arXiv:1201.2926 to obtain new vanishing results for the Hofer distance between subsets, applicable for instance to singular analytic...

Entanglement in fermion many-body systems is studied using a generalized definition of separability based on partitions of the set of observables, rather than on particle tensor products. In this way, the characterizing properties of non-separable fermion states can be explicitly analyzed, allowing a precise description of the geometric structure of the corresponding state space. These results have direct applications in fermion quantum metrology: sub-shot noise accuracy in parameter estimation...

Influence maximization is the problem of finding influent nodes in a graph so as to maximize the spread of information. It has many applications in advertising and marketing on social networks.

Furthermore, we make no assumption on the underlying diffusion model. We refer to this problem as...

In recent papers a microscopic model for the SM Higgs mechanism has been proposed, and an idea how to determine the 24 quark and lepton masses of all 3 generations has emerged in that framework. This idea is worked out in detail here by accommodating the fermion masses and mixings to microscopic parameters. The top quark mass can be given in terms of the Fermi scale and of certain exchange couplings of isospin vectors obeying a tetrahedral symmetry. The observed hierarchy in the family spectrum...

We show that the level sets of automorphisms of free groups with respect to the Lipschitz metric are connected as subsets of Culler-Vogtmann space. In fact we prove our result in a more general setting of deformation spaces. As applications, we give metric solutions of the conjugacy problem for irreducible automorphisms and the detection of reducibility. We additionally prove technical results that may be of independent interest --- such as the fact that the set of displacements is well ordered.

Several attempts were made in the literature to generalize univariate reliability concepts to bivariate as well as multivariate set up. Here we extend the univariate quantile based reliability concepts to bivariate case based on quantile curves. We propose quantile curves based bivariate hazard rate and bivariate mean residual life function and study their uniqueness properties to determine the underlying quantile curve. A relationship between them is also derived.

For $d,g,r\in\mathbb{N}$, we construct a bipartite $r$-augmented complete $d$-ary tree having girth at least $g$. The height of such trees must grow extremely rapidly in terms of the girth. Using the resulting graphs, we construct sparse non-$k$-choosable bipartite graphs, showing that maximum average degree at most $2(k-1)$ is a sharp sufficient condition for $k$-choosability in bipartite graphs, even when...

Detailed comparison of these physical quantities shows that the dividing point between the two types of bipoles corresponds to a bipole area of about 300 millionths of the solar hemisphere (MHS)....

Then we did calculations for the neutral thallium and tested an assumption, that the the ratio between the anomalies for $s$ and $p_{1/2}$ states is the same for these two systems. Finally, we come up with recommendations about preferable atomic states...

The expected opacity of the intergalactic space limits the mean free path of TeV gamma rays to dozens of Megaparsecs. However, TeV photons from numerous more distant sources have been detected. This might be interpreted, in each particular case, in terms of hardening of the emitted spectrum caused by presently unknown mechanisms at work in the sources. Here we show that this interpretation is not supported by the analysis of the ensemble of all observed sources. In the frameworks of an...

Candidates for such SNe include Type IIn and superluminous SNe. If some of these SNe are powered by interaction, then there should be a relation between their peak luminosity, bolometric light-curve rise time, and shock-breakout velocity. Given that the shock velocity during shock breakout is not measured, we expect a correlation,...

As preprocessing of quantum error correction, our scheme estimates the current noise level through a negligible amount of classical computation using error syndromes and updates the decoder's knowledge on the spot before inferring the locations of errors. This preprocessing requires no additional quantum interaction or...

Locks have been widely used as an effective synchronization mechanism among processes and threads. However, we observe that a large number of false inter-thread dependencies (i.e., unnecessary lock contentions) exist during the program execution on multicore processors, thereby incurring significant performance overhead. This paper presents a performance debugging framework, PERFPLAY, to facilitate a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the performance impact of unnecessary lock...

The need for an ontological layer on top of data, associated with advanced reasoning mechanisms able to exploit the semantics encoded in ontologies, has been acknowledged both in the database and knowledge representation communities. We focus in this paper on the ontological query answering problem, which consists of querying data while taking ontological knowledge into account. More specifically, we establish complexities of the conjunctive query entailment problem for classes of existential...

In this work, we sift a simple supersymmetric framework of late invisible decays to/of the gravitino. We investigate two cases where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle or the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle. The next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle decays into two dark matter candidates and has a long lifetime due to gravitationally suppressed interactions. However, because of the absence of any hadronic or electromagnetic products, it satisfies the tight bounds...

Using classical density functional theory (DFT) we calculate the density profile $\rho({\mathbf r})$ and local compressibility $\chi({\mathbf r})$ of a simple liquid solvent in which a pair of blocks with (microscopic) rectangular cross-section are immersed. We consider blocks that are solvophobic, solvophilic and also ones that have both solvophobic and solvophilic patches. Large values of $\chi({\mathbf r})$ correspond to regions in space where the liquid density is fluctuating most strongly....

This work aims to show the applicability, and how, of privacy by design approach to biometric systems and the benefit of using formal methods to this end. Starting from a general framework that has been introduced at STM in 2014, that enables to define privacy architectures and to formally reason about their properties, we explain how it can be adapted to biometrics. The choice of particular techniques and the role of the components (central server, secure module, biometric terminal, smart...

Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is a powerful tool, widely used in the fields of structural identification and health monitoring, and certainly eligible for identifying the real in-operation behaviour of vehicle systems. Several attempts can be found in the literature, for which the usage of algorithms based on the classical OMA formulation has been strained for the identification of passenger cars and industrial trucks. The interest is mainly focused on the assessment of suspension behaviour...

These lecture notes are concerned with the solvability of the second boundary value problem of the prescribed affine mean curvature equation and related regularity theory of the Monge-Amp\`ere and linearized Monge-Amp\`ere equations. The prescribed affine mean curvature equation is a fully nonlinear, fourth order, geometric partial differential equation of the following form $$\sum_{i, j=1}^n U^{ij}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial {x_i}\partial{x_j}}\left[(\det D^2 u)^{-\frac{n+1}{n+2}}\right]=f$$...

In this article, we discuss a dynamical stochastic model that represents the time evolution of income distribution of a population, where the dynamics develop from an interplay of multiple economic exchanges in the presence of multiplicative noise. The model remit stretches beyond the conventional framework of a Langevin-type kinetic equation in that our model dynamics is self-consistently constrained by dynamical conservation laws emerging from population and wealth conservation. This model is...

To analyze the property of nuclear matter in the 16O+208Pb collision system, the internuclear potential of the fusion reaction is calculated by using the Skyrme forces associated with an extensive nuclear matter incompressibility K range in the semiclassical energy density formalism. Comparison of the experimental fusion cross sections and those obtained by using potentials derived from different forces with various K values shows that the incompressibility of nuclear matter changes during the...

The Markoff group of transformations is a group $\Gamma$ of affine integral morphisms, which is known to act transitively on the set of all positive integer solutions to the equation $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=xyz$. The fundamental strong approximation conjecture for the Markoff equation states that for every prime $p$, the group $\Gamma$ acts transitively on the set $X^{*}\left(p\right)$ of non-zero solutions to the same equation over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$. Recently, Bourgain, Gamburd and Sarnak...

The observational properties of Soft Gamma Repeaters and Ano\-malous X-ray Pulsars (SGR/AXP) indicate to necessity of the energy source different from a rotational energy of a neutron star. The model, where the source of the energy is connected with a magnetic field dissipation in a highly magnetized neutron star (magnetar) is analyzed. Some observational inconsistencies are indicated for this interpretation. The alternative energy source, connected with the nuclear energy of superheavy nuclei...

Extreme-scale computational science increasingly demands multiscale and multiphysics formulations. Combining software developed by independent groups is imperative: no single team has resources for all predictive science and decision support capabilities. Scientific libraries provide high-quality, reusable software components for constructing applications with improved robustness and portability. However, without coordination, many libraries cannot be easily composed. Namespace collisions,...

We propose a new approach for using unsupervised boosting to create an ensemble of generative models, where models are trained in sequence to correct earlier mistakes. Our meta-algorithmic framework can leverage any existing base learner that permits likelihood evaluation, including recent latent variable models. Further, our approach allows the ensemble to include discriminative models trained to distinguish real data from model-generated data. We show theoretical conditions under which...

It is well established that the notion of min-entropy fails to satisfy the \emph{chain rule} of the form $H(X,Y) = H(X|Y)+H(Y)$, known for Shannon Entropy. Such a property would help to analyze how min-entropy is split among smaller blocks. Problems of this kind arise for example when constructing extractors and dispersers. We show that any sequence of variables exhibits a very strong strong block-source structure (conditional distributions of blocks are nearly flat) when we \emph{spoil few...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $I(R)^*$ be the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$. The $M$-intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G_M(R)$, is a graph with the vertex set $I(R)^*$, and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if $IM\cap JM\neq 0$. For every multiplication $R$-module $M$, the diameter and the girth of $G_M(R)$ are determined. Among other results, we prove that if $M$ is a faithful $R$-module and the clique number of...

We propose a 2D generalization to the $M$-band case of the dual-tree decomposition structure (initially proposed by N. Kingsbury and further investigated by I. Selesnick) based on a Hilbert pair of wavelets. We particularly address (\textit{i}) the construction of the dual basis and (\textit{ii}) the resulting directional analysis. We also revisit the necessary pre-processing stage in the $M$-band case. While several reconstructions are possible because of the redundancy of the representation,...
