The Cost of Scaling a Reliable Interconnection Topology

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

In distributed computing, many papers try to evaluate the message complexity of a distributed system as a function of the number of nodes n. But what about the cost of building the distributed system itself? Assuming that we want to reliably connect n node ...

Tighter thermodynamic bound on the speed limit in systems with unidirectional transitions

Daniel Maria Busiello, Deepak Gupta

We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links Herein, we first compute the statistical length and the th ...

On the Almost Sure Convergence of Stochastic Gradient Descent in Non-Convex Problems

Volkan Cevher, Ali Kavis, Shaul Nadav Hallak

This paper analyzes the trajectories of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) to help understand the algorithm’s convergence properties in non-convex problems. We first show that the sequence of iterates generated by SGD remains bounded and converges with prob ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acromegaly: Evaluating the role of the biological effective dose associated with endocrine remission in a series of 42 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a valuable treatment option for persistent and/or recurrent acromegaly secondary to growth hormone (GH) secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Here, we assess the role of biological effective dose (BED) received b ...

Optimistic Distributionally Robust Optimization for Nonparametric Likelihood Approximation

Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Wolfram Wiesemann

The likelihood function is a fundamental component in Bayesian statistics. However, evaluating the likelihood of an observation is computationally intractable in many applications. In this paper, we propose a non-parametric approximation of the likelihood ...

Blockage of driftwood and resulting head increase upstream of an ogee spillway with piers

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Paloma Furlan

Accumulations of floating debris in reservoirs can have negative impacts on the safe operation of a dam. Thus, adequate spillway design in view of driftwood is of paramount importance. Herein, investigation of driftwood blockage with a reservoir flow appro ...

Extracting the Critical Rooting Length in Plant Uprooting by Flow From Pullout Experiments

Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani

The growth and establishment of riparian vegetation on river bedforms is of hydrological as well as ecological importance as it helps in enhancing spatial heterogeneity and thus the biodiversity of river corridors. Yet, during floods, flow drag and scourin ...

Quantifying Commitment in Nash Equilibria

Thomas Alois Weber

To quantify a player's commitment in a given Nash equilibrium of a finite dynamic game, we map the corresponding normal-form game to a "canonical extension," which allows each player to adjust his or her move with a certain probability. The commitment meas ...
