Extinction In Lower Hessenberg Branching Processes With Countably Many Types

Sophie Myriam Hautphenne

We consider a class of branching processes with countably many types which we refer to as Lower Hessenberg branching processes. These are multitype Galton-Watson processes with typeset X = {0, 1, 2,...}, in which individuals of type i may give birth to off ...

Training DNNs with Hybrid Block Floating Point

Babak Falsafi, Martin Jaggi, Tao Lin, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira

The wide adoption of DNNs has given birth to unrelenting computing requirements, forcing datacenter operators to adopt domain-specific accelerators to train them. These accelerators typically employ densely packed full-precision floating-point arithmetic t ...

Geometry-aware Deep Network for Single-Image Novel View Synthesis

Mathieu Salzmann

This paper tackles the problem of novel view synthesis from a single image. In particular, we target real-world scenes with rich geometric structure, a challenging task due to the large appearance variations of such scenes and the lack of simple 3D models ...

The size of the sync basin revisited

Philippe René Joseph Jacquod, Robin Delabays

In dynamical systems, the full stability of fixed point solutions is determined by their basins of attraction. Characterizing the structure of these basins is, in general, a complicated task, especially in high dimensionality. Recent works have advocated t ...

Secure numerical and logical multi party operations

Bin Lu

We derive algorithms for efficient secure numerical and logical operations in the semi-honest model ensuring statistical or perfect security for secure multi-party computation (MPC). To derive our algorithms for trigonometric functions, we use basic mathem ...

Fixed Points For Bounded Orbits In Hilbert Spaces

Nicolas Monod, Maxime Gheysens

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...

A parametric augmented Lagrangian algorithm for real-time economic NMPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours, Harsh Ambarishkumar Shukla

In this paper, a novel optimality-tracking algorithm for solving Economic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (ENMPC) problems in real-time is presented. Developing online schemes for ENMPC is challenging, since it is unclear how convexity of the Quadratic ...

IEEE2016

Motivated by common practices in the reinsurance industry and in insurance markets such as Lloyd's, we study the general problem of optimal insurance contracts design in the presence of multiple insurance providers. We show that the optimal risk allocation ...

Elsevier Science Sa2016

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part is about a variant of Banach's fixed point theorem and its applications to several partial differential equations (PDE's), abstractly of the form [ \mathcal Lu + \mathcal Q(u) = f.] The main result of thi ...
