Information Spectrum Converse for Minimum Entropy Couplings and Functional Representations

Given two jointly distributed random variables (X,Y), a functional representation of X is a random variable Z independent of Y, and a deterministic function g(⋅,⋅) such that X=g(Y,Z). The problem of finding a minimum entropy functional representation is kn ...

Functional peaks-over-threshold analysis

Anthony Christopher Davison, Raphaël Gérard Théodore Michel Marie de Deloÿe et Fourcade de Fondeville

Peaks-over-threshold analysis using the generalised Pareto distribution is widely applied in modelling tails of univariate random variables, but much information may be lost when complex extreme events are studied using univariate results. In this paper, w ...

Fractional extreme distributions

Thomas Simon, Lotfi Boudabsa

We consider three classes of linear differential equations on distribution functions, with a fractional order alpha is an element of [0; 1]. The integer case alpha = 1 corresponds to the three classical extreme families. In general, we show that there is a ...

The structural role of the core literature in history

Giovanni Colavizza

The intellectual landscapes of the humanities are mostly uncharted territory. Little is known on the ways published research of humanist scholars defines areas of intellectual activity. An open question relates to the structural role of core literature: hi ...

On the Structure of Cortical Microcircuits Inferred from Small Sample Sizes

Rodrigo de Campos Perin

The structure in cortical microcircuits deviates from what would be expected in a purely random network, which has been seen as evidence of clustering. To address this issue, we sought to reproduce the nonrandom features of cortical circuits by considering ...

Measurement of branching fraction and direct CP asymmetry in charmless B+ -> K+ K- pi(+) decays at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang

We report a study of the charmless hadronic decay of the charged B meson to the three-body final state K+K-pi(+). The results are based on a data sample that contains 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected at the Y (4S) resonance with the Belle detecto ...

Rich Vehicle and Inventory Routing Problems with Stochastic Demands

Iliya Dimitrov Markov

This thesis develops a unified framework for modeling and solving various classes of rich routing problems with stochastic demands, including the VRP and the IRP. The work is inspired by the problem of collecting recyclables from sensorized containers in G ...

A Comment on “Computational Complexity of Stochastic Programming Problems”

Daniel Kuhn, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto, Wolfram Wiesemann

Although stochastic programming problems were always believed to be computationally challenging, this perception has only recently received a theoretical justification by the seminal work of Dyer and Stougie (Mathematical Programming A, 106(3):423–432, 200 ...

Intearcting Brownian Swarms: Some Analytical Results

Max-Olivier Hongler, Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti

We consider the dynamics of swarms of scalar Brownian agents subject to local imitation mechanisms implemented using mutual rank-based interactions. For appropriate values of the underlying control parameters, the swarm propagates tightly and the distances ...

Mass distributions marginalized over per-event errors

Frédéric Guillaume Dupertuis

We present generalizations of the Crystal Ball function to describe mass peaks in which the per event mass resolution is unknown and marginalized over. The presented probability density functions are tested using a series of toy Monte Carlo samples generat ...
