Edge-reinforced branching random walk on a triangle
The edge-reinforced random walk (ERRW) is a random process on the vertices of a graph that is more likely to cross the edges it has visited in the past. Depending on the strength of the reinforcement, the ERRW of a single particle can either exhibit localisation (eventually moving back and forth across a single edge) or remain transient. We consider a model where a single ERRW is replaced by that of an exponentially growing number of random particles, and we study its localisation properties on…

I’ve watched the pendulum swing back and forth multiple times in my career between “code reuse ftw!!” and “no dependencies!!” The one thing I can say with confidence is that both those extremes as dogma are ridiculous and costly. It’s all tradeoffs; you can’t escape the part where you think carefully and contextually.

Concurrent Double-Ended Priority Queues
This work provides the first concurrent implementation specifically designed for a double-ended priority queue (DEPQ). We do this by describing a general way to add an ExtractMax operation to any concurrent priority queue that already supports Insert and ExtractMin operations. The construction uses two linearizable single-consumer priority queues to build a linearizable dual-consumer DEPQ (only one process can perform Extract operations at each end). This construction preserves lock-freedom. We…

Modeling Adaptive Tracking of Predictable Stimuli in Electric Fish
The weakly electric fish \emph{Eigenmannia virescens} naturally swims back and forth to stay within a moving refuge, tracking its motion using visual and electrosensory feedback. Previous experiments show that when the refuge oscillates as a low-frequency sinusoid (below about 0.5 Hz), the tracking is nearly perfect, but phase lag increases and gain decreases at higher frequencies. Here, we model this nonlinear behavior as an adaptive internal model principle (IMP) system. Specifically, an adap…

Yesterday as I unicycled home I came up behind some guy on one of those small electric transport devices that have a single wheel in the middle of a board that is ridden like a skateboard. The guy riding it was not going very fast (and intentionally weaving back and forth). Probably just having fun because it was new, I guess. I was faster than him but since he weaved so much I did not feel comfortable overtaking.

A novel approach to generate distributions
A novel approach to adding two additional parameters to a family of distributions for better adaptability has been put forth. This approach yields a versatile class of distributions supported on the positive real line. We proceed to analyze its mathematical characteristics, such as critical points, modality, stochastic representation, identifiability, quantiles, moments, and truncated moments. We present a new regression model for unimodal continuous data based on a submodel of the newly propos…

This paper presents a cost-effective inertial pedestrian dead reckoning method for the bipedal robot in the GPS-denied environment. Each time when the inertial measurement unit (IMU) is on the stance foot, a stationary pseudo-measurement can be executed to provide innovation to the IMU measurement based prediction. The matrix Lie group based theoretical development of the adopted invariant extended Kalman filter (InEKF) is set forth for tutorial purpose. Three experiments are conducted to compa…

Beyond Autoregression: An Empirical Study of Diffusion Large Language Models for Code Generation
LLMs have become the mainstream approaches to code generation. Existing LLMs mainly employ autoregressive generation, i.e. generating code token-by-token from left to right. However, the underlying autoregressive generation has two limitations in code generation. First, autoregressive LLMs only generate a token at each step, showing low efficiency in practice. Second, programming is a non-sequential process involving back-and-forth editing, while autoregressive LLMs only employ the left-to-righ…

"By 1993, I added a CD-ROM player to my computer, and I ordered a couple of CD-ROMs from Walnut Creek. One of them had folders and folders of source code in a variety of languages with very strange names: REXX, Forth, Basica, ADA, Lisp, Fortran. I did not know what those languages were for. I did not know why there were so many. I did not know I could create my own. There was no Stack Overflow, there was no GitHub."

The Two-Zone Temperature Distribution Model: Inferences on the Structure and Composition of Dusty Protoplanetary Disks
In order to understand the mineralogy and structure of protoplanetary disks, it is important to analyze them from both an empirical spectrum-based perspective and a radiative transfer image-based perspective. In a prior paper, we set forth an empirical mineralogy mid-IR spectral model that conveyed spatial information and worked in tandem with a radiative transfer model, which formed the EaRTH Disk Model. In this article, we take the empirical portion of that model, the TZTD model, and refine i…

We present a sample- and time-efficient algorithm to learn any bosonic Fock state acted upon by an arbitrary Gaussian unitary. As a special case, this algorithm efficiently learns states produced in Fock state BosonSampling, thus resolving an open question put forth by Aaronson and Grewal (Aaronson, Grewal 2023). We further study a hierarchy of classes of states beyond Gaussian states that are specified by a finite number of their higher moments. Using the higher moments, we find a full spectru…

Electoral Competition with Credible Promises and Strategic Voters
How can voters induce politicians to put forth more proximate (in terms of preference) as well as credible platforms (in terms of promise fulfillment) under repeated elections? Building on the work of Aragones et al.

I present a formal model where, instead of assuming voters to be naive, I tackle the question by completely charac…

Untangling the Complex Nature of AGN Variability with Fairall 9
The accretion flow in AGN is not well understood, motivating intensive monitoring campaigns of multiwavelength variability to probe its structure. One of the best of these is the 3 year optical/UV/X-ray approximately daily monitoring campaign on Fairall\,9, a fairly typical moderate accretion rate AGN. The UV lightcurve shows a clear increase over $\sim 50$ days between years 1 and 2, strongly coherent with the X-ray lightcurve rise. This changes the average spectral energy distribution such th…

Dynamical approach to area law for lattice Yang-Mills
In this note, we observe that the dynamical approach to lattice Yang-Mills set forth in [SZZ23] may also be applied to prove Wilson's area law in the 't Hooft regime of parameters. The main point is to verify the mass gap condition from [DF80], from which area law directly follows. Our results apply for gauge groups $G \in \{\mathrm{U}(N), \mathrm{SU}(N), \mathrm{SO}(2N)\}$, which all have nontrivial center (which is one of the key assumptions in [DF80]).

Fragmentation of matching markets is a ubiquitous problem across countries and across applications. In order to study the implications of fragmentation and possibilities for integration, we first document and discuss a variety of fragmentation cases in practice such as school choice, medical residency matching, and so forth.

This theory enjoys the property that any preference system admits extension to a complete system of preferences, provided it satisfies a certain coherence requirement analogous to the one de Finetti advanced for his foundations of probability. Unlike de Finetti's theory, the one we set forth requires neither transitivity nor Archimedeanness nor boundedness nor continuity of preference.…
