Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a commonly used, flexible framework
applied to many problems in statistical ecology. GAMs are often considered to
be a purely frequentist framework (`generalized linear models with wiggly
bits'), howev...

We construct new families of symplectic capacities indexed by certain
symmetric polynomials, defined using rational symplectic field theory. In
particular, we introduce a sequence of capacities based on an L-infinity
structure on linearized...

Session types are formal specifications of communication protocols, allowing
protocol implementations to be verified by typechecking. Up to now, session
type disciplines have assumed that the communication medium is reliable, with
no loss o...

The reachability problem asks to decide if there exists a path from one
vertex to another in a digraph. In a grid digraph, the vertices are the points
of a two-dimensional square grid, and an edge can occur between a vertex and
its immediat...
Confidence-Triggered Detection: An Approach to Build Real-time
Tracking-by-detection System

Real-time object tracking necessitates a delicate balance between speed and
accuracy, a challenge exacerbated by the computational demands of deep learning
methods. In this paper, we propose Confidence-Triggered Detection (CTD), an
innovati...
Generalized domination structure in cubic graphs

Mathematics
Combinatorics
The minimum dominating set problem asks for a dominating set with minimum
size. First, we determine some vertices contained in the minimum dominating set
of a graph. Applying a particular scheme to the graph, the resulting graph is
2-connec...
On the Extension of the Gaussian Moat Problem

Number Theory
In this paper, we have developed an algorithm for the prime searching in
R3. This problem was proposed by M. Das [Arxiv,2019]. This paper is
an extension of her work. As we know the distribution of primes will get more
irregular...

A new microscopic derivation of the elastic constants of amorphous solids is
presented within the framework of nonaffine lattice dynamics, which makes use
of a perturbative form of the low-frequency eigenvectors of the dynamical
matrix intr...
A study on general visual categorization of objects into animal and
plant groups using global shape descriptors with a focus on category-specific

How do humans distinguish between general categories of objects? In a number
of se-mantic-category deficits, patients are good at making broad
categorization but are un-able to remember fine and specific details. It has
been well accepted t...
Discretized Gradient Flow for Manifold Learning in the Space of

Mathematics
Differential Geometry
Gradient descent, or negative gradient flow, is a standard technique in
optimization to find minima of functions. Many implementations of gradient
descent rely on discretized versions, i.e., moving in the gradient direction
for a set step s...
