packet_delays: Internet packet delays (2002)
A network representing the difference in delay observed by packet probes sent from a computer at Rice University to similar machines at different universities, in c.2002. The edge weight denotes the difference in delay of the packet in milliseconds.
This network has 10 nodes and 9567 edges.

Free differential modalities
Categorical models of the exponential modality of linear logic will often, but not always, support an operation of differentiation. When they do, we speak of a monoidal differential modality; when they do not, we have merely a monoidal coalgebra modality. More generally, there are notions of differential modality and coalgebra modality which stand in the same relation, but which move outside the realm of linear logic; they model important structures such as smooth differentiation on Euclidean s…

A stability-enhanced nonstandard finite difference framework for solving one and two-dimensional nonlocal differential equations
Standard finite difference (SFD) schemes often suffer from limited stability regions, especially when applied in explicit setup to partial differential equations. To address this challenge, this study investigates the efficacy of nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) schemes in enhancing stability of explicit SFD schemes for 1D and 2D Caputo-type time-fractional diffusion equations (TFDEs). A nonstandard L1approximation is proposed for the Caputo fractional derivative, and its local truncation e…

Oscillatory Behavior of Linear Nonautonomous Advanced and Delayed Impulsive Differential Equations with Discontinuous Deviating Arguments via Difference Equations
We establish sufficient conditions to guarantee the oscillatory and non-oscillatory behavior of solutions to nonautonomous advanced and delayed linear differential equations with piecewise constant arguments: \[ x'(t) = a(t)x(t) + b(t)x([t \pm k]), \] where $k \in \mathbb{N}$, $k \geq 1$, in both impulsive and non-impulsive cases (DEPCA and IDEPCA). Due to the hybrid nature of these systems, our approach draws on results from the theory of advanced and delayed linear difference equations. The a…

What makes a study design quasi-experimental? The case of difference-in-differences
Study designs classified as quasi- or natural experiments are typically accorded more face validity than observational study designs more broadly. However, there is ambiguity in the literature about what qualifies as a quasi-experiment. Here, we attempt to resolve this ambiguity by distinguishing two different ways of defining this term. One definition is based on identifying assumptions being uncontroversial, and the other is based on the ability to account for unobserved sources of confoundin…

Differential Privacy in Kernelized Contextual Bandits via Random Projections
We consider the problem of contextual kernel bandits with stochastic contexts, where the underlying reward function belongs to a known Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space. We study this problem under an additional constraint of Differential Privacy, where the agent needs to ensure that the sequence of query points is differentially private with respect to both the sequence of contexts and rewards. We propose a novel algorithm that achieves the state-of-the-art cumulative regret of $\widetilde{\mat…
