Statistical Aspects of Wasserstein Distances

Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in order to recover th ...

The stochastic heat equation: hitting probabilities and the probability density function of the supremum via Malliavin calculus

Fei Pu

In this thesis, we study systems of linear and/or non-linear stochastic heat equations and fractional heat equations in spatial dimension

Stuck Walks: A Conjecture Of Erschler, Toth And Werner

Daniel Kious

In this paper, we work on a class of self-interacting nearest neighbor random walks, introduced in [Probab. Theory Related Fields 154 (2012) 149-163], for which there is competition between repulsion of neighboring edges and attraction of next-to-neighbori ...

Strength of reinforced concrete footings without transverse reinforcement according to limit analysis

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, João Tiago Ramos Bernardo de Santa Rita Simões, Duarte Miguel Viúla Faria

Isolated footings are reinforced concrete elements whose flexural and punching shear strengths are usually governing for their design. In this work, both failure modes and their interaction are investigated by means of the kinematical theorem of limit anal ...

The effects of spatial attention on temporal integration

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

Feature fusion reflects temporal integration. Previous studies mostly employed foveal presentations with no attention manipulation. In this study we examined the effects of sustained spatial attention on temporal integration using feature-fusion with perip ...

Pattern-wise trust assessment of sensor data

Karl Aberer, Mehdi Riahi, Robert Gwadera

One of the most important tasks of a sensor network (SN) is to detect occurrences of interesting events in the monitored environment. However, data measured by SN is often affected by errors. We investigate the problem of assessing trustworthiness (trust) ...

On the impact of link faults on Byzantine agreement

Martin Biely

Agreement problems and their solutions are essential to fault-tolerant distributed computing. Over the years, different assumptions on failures have been considered, but most of these assumptions were focusing on either processes or links. In contrast, we ...

A bottom-up stochastic model to predict building occupants' time-dependent activities

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Frédéric Haldi, Urs Wilke

A bottom-up modelling approach together with a set of calibration methodologies is presented to predict residential building occupants' time-dependent activities, for use in dynamic building simulations. The stochastic model to predict activity chains is c ...

Accurate and efficient evaluation of failure probability for partial different equations with random input data

Alfio Quarteroni, Peng Chen

Several computational challenges arise when evaluating the failure probability of a given system in the context of risk prediction or reliability analysis. When the dimension of the uncertainties becomes high, well established direct numerical methods can ...

Degrees of freedom of sparsely connected wireless networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

We investigate how the network connectivity can affect the degrees of freedom (DoF) of wireless networks. We consider a network of n source-destination (SD) pairs and assume that any two nodes are connected with a positive probability p, independent of oth ...
