Active contraction of cardiac cells: a reduced model for sarcomere dynamics with cooperative interactions

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

We propose a reduced ODE model for the mechanical activation of cardiac myofilaments, which is based on explicit spatial representation of nearest-neighbour interactions. Our model is derived from the cooperative Markov Chain model of Washio et al. (Cell M ...

Streaming Robust Submodular Maximization: A Partitioned Thresholding Approach

Volkan Cevher, Ilija Bogunovic, Slobodan Mitrovic, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Jakub Tarnawski

We study the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint k, with two additional twists: (i) elements arrive in a streaming fashion and (ii) m items from the algorithm’s memory might be removed after th ...
