In this paper, we study diffusion social learning over weakly-connected graphs. We show that the asymmetric flow of information hinders the learning abilities of certain agents regardless of their local observations. Under some circumstances that we clarif ...
A crucial component of steerable wavelets is the radial profile of the generating function in the frequency domain. In this paper, we present an infinite-dimensional optimization scheme that helps us find the optimal profile for a given criterion over the ...
In this work, we consider multitask learning problems where clusters of nodes are interested in estimating their own parameter vector. Cooperation among clusters is beneficial when the optimal models of adjacent clusters have a good number of similar entri ...
This paper provides expressions for the largest and smallest solution of a global optimization problem using an adjoint variable which represents the available one-sided improvements up to the interval “horizon”. Interpreting the problem in terms of optima ...
We derive rigorous asymptotic results for the magnitude of contagion in a large counterparty network and give an analytical expression for the asymptotic fraction of defaults, in terms of network characteristics. Our results extend previous studies on cont ...
Organisms need to assess their nutritional state and adapt their digestive capacity to the demands for various nutrients. Modulation of digestive enzyme production represents a rational step to regulate nutriment uptake. However, the role of digestion in n ...
This paper presents 5ex+y, a system that is able to extract, index and query mathematical content expressed as mathematical expressions, complementing the CERN Document Server (CDS). We present the most important aspects of its design, our approach to mode ...
Targeted alteration of the genome lies at the heart of the exploitation of S. pombe as a model system. The rate of analysis is often determined by the efficiency with which a target locus can be manipulated. For most loci this is not a problem, however for ...
In this paper, building upon Bussgang's theorem, we present a new expression for the total degradation (TD) in OFDM systems. This novel expression is applicable to any high power amplifier (HPA) model. In case of ideal clipping HPA model and for particular ...
Analytical determination of safety in glass structures often uses oversimplified resistance criteria or fully probabilistic models which require special software to numerically solve the complex equations. Due to computation cost and remaining uncertainty ...
