Implementation and Performance Analysis of the Lightning Potential Index as a Forecasting Tool

Martina Lagasio

Severe weather events are responsible for hundreds of fatalities and millions of euros of damage every year in the Mediterranean basin. Lightning activity is a characteristic phenomenon of severe weather and often accompanies torrential rainfall, which und ...

Incorporating Climate Change Predictions in the Analysis of Weather-based Uncertainty

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi

This paper proposes randomly-generated synthetic time series incorporating climate change forecasts to quantify the variation in energy simulation due to weather inputs, i.e., Monte Carlo analysis for uncertainty and sensitivity quantification. The method ...

Rainfall Forecasting in Burkina Faso Using Bayesian-Wavelet Neural Networks

Jonathan Giezendanner

This work aims to forecast rain locally in Tambarga, Burkina Faso, to be able to fight against a worm inducing the disease called schistosomiasis. The chosen approach relies on a machine-leaning technique called Artificial Neural Networks, which simulates ...

Divergence-Free Wavelet Frames

Michaël Unser, Emrah Bostan, John Paul Ward

We propose an efficient construction of wavelet frames in any number of dimensions that are divergence-free. Our approach is based on applying the Leray projector, which is scale-invariant, to a standard wavelet frame. We prove that the projected wavelets ...

Towards More Accurate and Efficient Beamformed Radio Interferometry Imaging

Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will form the largest radio telescope ever built, generating on the order of one terabyte of data per second. To reduce the data flow sent to the central processor, hierarchical designs have been proposed: the data is prima ...

Fourier Analysis of MAC Polarization

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

A problem of the polar code construction for multiple access channels (MACs) is that they do not always achieve the whole capacity region. Although polar codes achieve the sum-capacity of symmetric MACs, polarization may induce a loss in the capacity regio ...

Better Algorithms for LWE and LWR

Serge Vaudenay, Alexandre Raphaël Duc, Florian Tramèr

The Learning With Error problem (LWE) is becoming more and more used in cryptography, for instance, in the design of some fully homomorphic encryption schemes. It is thus of primordial importance to find the best algorithms that might solve this problem so ...

Constrained Spectrum Control

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Jean-Hubert Hours

A novel Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) scheme is proposed in order to shape the harmonic response of constrained nonlinear systems. The salient ingredient is the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of the system's output signal, which is constra ...

Fourier Analysis of Functional Time Series, with Applications to DNA Dynamics

Shahin Tavakoli

This work is about time series of functional data (functional time series), and consists of three main parts. In the first part (Chapter 2), we develop a doubly spectral decomposition for functional time series that generalizes the Karhunen–Loève expansion ...

A Unified Formulation of Gaussian Versus Sparse Stochastic Processes-Part I: Continuous-Domain Theory

Michaël Unser, Pouya Dehghani Tafti

We introduce a general distributional framework that results in a unifying description and characterization of a rich variety of continuous-time stochastic processes. The cornerstone of our approach is an innovation model that is driven by some generalized ...
