From trees to barcodes and back again II: Combinatorial and probabilistic aspects of a topological inverse problem

Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Lida Kanari, Adélie Eliane Garin

In this paper we consider two aspects of the inverse problem of how to construct merge trees realizing a given barcode. Much of our investigation exploits a recently discovered connection between the symmetric group and barcodes in general position, based ...

Nearly-Tight and Oblivious Algorithms for Explainable Clustering

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Adam Teodor Polak, Buddhima Ruwanmini Gamlath Gamlath Ralalage, Xinrui Jia

We study the problem of explainable clustering in the setting first formalized by Dasgupta, Frost, Moshkovitz, and Rashtchian (ICML 2020). A k-clustering is said to be explainable if it is given by a decision tree where each internal node splits data point ...

A p-weighted limiter for the discontinuous Galerkin method on one-dimensional and two-dimensional triangular grids

Qian Wang

This paper presents an accuracy-preserving p-weighted limiter for discontinuous Galerkin methods on one-dimensional and two-dimensional triangular grids. The p-weighted limiter is the extension of the second-order WENO limiter by Li et al. [W. Li, J. Pan a ...

Bounds for Pach's Selection Theorem and for the Minimum Solid Angle in a Simplex

Jan Kyncl

We estimate the selection constant in the following geometric selection theorem by Pach: For every positive integer d, there is a constant such that whenever are n-element subsets of , we can find a point and subsets for every , each of size at least , suc ...

Wireless network simplification: the Gaussian N-relay diamond network

Christina Fragouli, Ayfer Özgür Aydin

We consider the Gaussian N-relay diamond net- work, where a source wants to communicate to a destination node through a layer of N-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: What fraction of the capacity can we maintain by using only k out of the ...

Quotient method for controlling the acrobot

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt

This paper describes a two-sweep control design method to stabilize the acrobot, an input-afﬁne under-actuated system, at the upper equilibrium point. In the forward sweep, the system is successively reduced, one dimension at a time, until a two-dimensiona ...

Upper bounds for Euclidean minima of algebraic number fields

Eva Bayer Fluckiger

The aim of this paper is to give new upper bounds for Euclidean minima of algebraic number fields. In particular, to show that Minkowski's conjecture holds for the maximal totally real subfields of cyclotomic fields of prime power conductor. ...

Efficient erasure correcting codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

We introduce a simple erasure recovery algorithm for codes derived from cascades of sparse bipartite graphs and analyze the algorithm by analyzing a corresponding discrete-time random process. As a result, we obtain a simple criterion involving the fractio ...

Reliable and Total Order Broadcast in the Crash-Recovery Model

Rachid Guerraoui, Romain Boichat

This paper addresses the problem of broadcasting messages in a reliable and totally ordered manner when processes and channels may crash and recover, or crash and never recover. We present a suite of specifications of reliable and total order broadcast pri ...
