The paradigm of second-order phase transitions (PTs) induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in thermal and quantum systems is a pillar of modern physics that has been fruitfully applied to out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems. Dissipative phase ...
The Byzantine consensus problem involves.. processes, out of which t < n could be faulty and behave arbitrarily. Three properties characterize consensus: (1) termination, requiring correct (nonfaulty) processes to eventually reach a decision, (2) agreement ...
Environment is assumed to play a negative role in quantum mechanics, destroying the coherence in a quantum system and, thus, randomly changing its state. However, for a quantum system that is initially in a degenerate ground state, the situation could be d ...
Depending on the geometry of their Fermi surfaces, Weyl semimetals and their analogs in classical systems have been classified into two types. In type-I Weyl semimetals (WSMs), the conelike spectrum at the Weyl point is not tilted, leading to a pointlike c ...
Innovation is crucial and decisive for the long-term development of a metropolitan region in the global economy. While firms certainly play a significant role in the development of specific innovation, the environment that nur-tures innovative firms and di ...
A new approach is proposed to detect edges based on an artificial neural network (ANN). Some elementary continuous and discontinuous functions interpolated in the polynomial space and their continuity are used as the training sets to train a back propagati ...
This thesis focuses on English invention drawings between 1750 and 1850. These visual documents offer a perspective on a technical aesthetic linked to the rise of English machinery at the turn of the 19th century. In this work, I focus on two specific corp ...
Globalization implies profound changes in territories that involve the emergence of major urban renewal projects. It has the effect of increasing competition between metropolises. In order to make a place for themselves in this increasingly competitive glo ...
We consider online convex optimization with a zero-order oracle feedback. In particular, the decision maker does not know the explicit representation of the time-varying cost functions, or their gradients. At each time step, she observes the value of the c ...
This paper is devoted to the study of multigraded algebras and multigraded linear series. For an NsNs-graded algebra AA, we define and study its volume function FA:N+s -> RFA:N+s→R, which computes the ...
