Minimizing Structural Vibrations via Guided Flow Matching Design Optimization
Structural vibrations are a source of unwanted noise in engineering systems like cars, trains or airplanes. Minimizing these vibrations is crucial for improving passenger comfort. This work presents a novel design optimization approach based on guided flow matching for reducing vibrations by placing beadings (indentations) in plate-like structures. Our method integrates a generative flow matching model and a surrogate model trained to predict structural vibrations. During the generation process…

A Kinematic Constraint on Pedestrian Walking: Power-law Scaling between Critical Angular Velocity and Speed

A Kinematic Constraint on Pedestrian Walking: Power-law Scaling between Critical Angular Velocity and Speed
This paper presents a statistical analysis of speed and angular velocity obtained from pedestrian experiments across nine distinct datasets. Experimental scenarios included crossing motion, unidirectional/bidirectional flows, bidirectional/four-directional crossing flows, pedestrian-vehicle interactions, unidirectional flow in a circular corridor, and circle antipode configurations. We applied filtering methods to reduce noise and analyzed the data at different sampling frequencies. The results…

The G-Gromov-Hausdorff Distance and Equivariant Topology
For an arbitrary finite group G, we consider a suitable notion of Gromov Hausdorff distance between compact G-metric spaces and derive lower bounds based on equivariant topology methods. As applications, we prove equivariant rigidity and finiteness theorems, and obtain sharp bounds on the Gromov Hausdorff distance between spheres.

Matrix Weighted $L^p$ Estimates in the Nonhomogeneous Setting
We establish a modified pointwise convex body domination for vector-valued Haar shifts in the nonhomogeneous setting, strengthening and extending the scalar case developed in arXiv:2309.13943. Moreover, we identify a subclass of shifts, called $L^1$-normalized, for which the standard convex body domination holds without requiring any regularity assumption on the measure. Finally, we extend the best-known matrix weighted $L^p$ estimates for sparse forms to the nonhomogeneous setting. The key dif…

But when I try to use an address out of the /59 on the local network (via radvd handing out /64's) it gets nowhere, traceroutes stop at the CPE/CMTS.

Efficient space reduction techniques by optimized majority rules for the Kemeny aggregation problem
The Kemeny aggregation problem consists of computing the consensus rankings of an election with respect to the Kemeny-Young voting method. These aggregated rankings are the geometric medians as well as the maximum likelihood estimators in the Mallows model of the rankings in the election under the Kendall-tau distance which counts the number of pairwise disagreements. The problem admits fundamental applications in various domains such as computational social choice, machine learning, operations…

Parallel Complexity of Depth-First-Search and Maximal path
Constructing a Depth First Search (DFS) tree is a fundamental graph problem, whose parallel complexity is still not settled. Reif showed parallel intractability of lex-first DFS. In contrast, randomized parallel algorithms (and more recently, deterministic quasipolynomial parallel algorithms) are known for constructing a DFS tree in general (di)graphs. However a deterministic parallel algorithm for DFS in general graphs remains an elusive goal. Working towards this, a series of works gave deter…
