We consider the extinction events of Galton-Watson processes with countably infinitely many types. In particular, we construct truncated and augmented Galton-Watson processes with finite but increasing sets of types. A pathwise approach is then used to sho ...
This paper presents an input parameterization for dynamic optimization that allows reducing the number of decision variables compared to traditional direct methods. A small number of decision variables is likely to be beneficial for various applications su ...
This paper discusses the use of parsimonious input parameterization for the dynamic optimization of reaction systems. This parameterization is able to represent the optimal inputs with only a few parameters. In the context of batch, semibatch, and continuo ...

We provide sharp conditions for the finiteness and the continuity of multimarginal optimal transport with repulsive cost, expressed in terms of a suitable concentration property of the measure. To achieve this result, we analyze the Kantorovich potentials ...

Redundant Gabor frames admit an infinite number of dual frames, yet only the canonical dual Gabor system, constructed from the minimal l(2)-norm dual window, is widely used. This window function however, might lack desirable properties, e. g. good time-fre ...

We investigate the representation theory of finite sets. The correspondence functors are the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various specific properties wh ...
We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schrödinger cocycle over a skew shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below 1, which is the threshold for Herman's subharmonicity t ...
Let R be a finite set of terminals in a convex metric space (M, d). We give approximation algorithms for problems of finding a minimum size set S subset of M of additional points such that the unit-disc graph G[R boolean OR S] of R boolean OR S satisfies s ...
With the aim to reduce the environmental footprint of buildings, this paper presents an original structural system concept for two-way slabs in residential and office buildings. The proposed system extends the best practice in terms of modularity, versatil ...
In this paper we show that every set A ⊂ ℕ with positive density contains B + C for some pair B, C of infinite subsets of ℕ , settling a conjecture of Erdős. The proof features two different decompositions of an arbitrary bounded sequence into a structured ...
