Distributed Sequential Receding Horizon Control of Multi-Agent Systems under Recurring Signal Temporal Logic
We consider the synthesis problem of a multi-agent system under signal temporal logic (STL) specifications representing bounded-time tasks that need to be satisfied recurrently over an infinite horizon. Motivated by the limited approaches to handling recurring STL systematically, we tackle the infinite-horizon control problem with a receding horizon scheme equipped with additional STL constraints that introduce minimal complexity and a backward-reachability-based terminal condition that is stra…

Difficult control is related to instability in biologically inspired Boolean networks
Previous work in Boolean dynamical networks has suggested that the number of components that must be controlled to select an existing attractor is typically set by the number of attractors admitted by the dynamics, with no dependence on the size of the network. Here we study the rare cases of networks that defy this expectation, with attractors that require controlling most nodes. We find empirically that unstable fixed points are the primary recurring characteristic of networks that prove more…

Let’s take a deep dive into this piece of consumer messaging —
1958. American Football. A sports reporter bluntly asks coach Vince Lombardi “What are you going to change to turn this team around after a string of failures and losing seasons?”
His reply: “I am not going to change anything. We will use the same players, the same plays and the same training system. But we will concentrate on becoming brilliant at the basics.”
This is an incredibly motivating message. And it paid off!
In the next nine seasons, Coach Lombardi’s team, the Green Bay Packers, went on to win five NFL Championships and two Super Bowls.
The phrase “Brilliant At The Basics” found its way into popular culture, becoming a recurring theme.
And the graphic? For the general public, the lightbulb image = Good Idea.

Gate-set evaluation metrics for closed-loop optimal control on nitrogen-vacancy center ensembles in diamond
A recurring challenge in quantum science and technology is the precise control of their underlying dynamics that lead to the desired quantum operations, often described by a set of quantum gates. These gates can be subject to application-specific errors, leading to a dependence of their controls on the chosen circuit, the quality measure and the gate-set itself. A natural solution would be to apply quantum optimal control in an application-oriented fashion. In turn, this requires the definition…

How Do Microservice API Patterns Impact Understandability? A Controlled Experiment
Microservices expose their functionality via remote Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), e.g., based on HTTP or asynchronous messaging technology. To solve recurring problems in this design space, Microservice API Patterns (MAPs) have emerged to capture the collective experience of the API design community. At present, there is a lack of empirical evidence for the effectiveness of these patterns, e.g., how they impact understandability and API usability. We therefore conducted a controlle…

Hausdorff dimension of the set of eventually always hitting points on a self-conformal set
Recurrence problems are fundamental in dynamics, and for example, sizes of the set of points recurring infinitely often to a target have been studied extensively in many contexts. For example, the problem of finding the dimension for shrinking target set in an iterated function system is an active research area. In the current work, we consider a set with a finer recurrence quality, the eventually always hitting set. In a sense, the points in the intersection of an eventually always hitting set…

Discovery of the magnetic cataclysmic variable XMM J152737.4-205305.9 with a deep eclipse-like feature
In this study, we report a discovery from XMM-Newton, which involves the identification and subsequent examination of a newly discovered polar-type cataclysmic variable named XMM J152737.4-205305.9. The discovery was made by matching the XMM-Newton data archive with the cataclysmic variable candidate catalog provided by Gaia Data Release 3. The utilization of X-ray photometry has led to the identification of two distinct dips that exhibit a recurring pattern with a precise period of 112.4(1) mi…

Compositional Neural Textures
Texture plays a vital role in enhancing visual richness in both real photographs and computer-generated imagery. However, the process of editing textures often involves laborious and repetitive manual adjustments of textons, which are the small, recurring local patterns that define textures. In this work, we introduce a fully unsupervised approach for representing textures using a compositional neural model that captures individual textons. We represent each texton as a 2D Gaussian function who…

On (Mis)perceptions of testing effectiveness: an empirical study
A recurring problem in software development is incorrect decision making on the techniques, methods and tools to be used. Mostly, these decisions are based on developers' perceptions about them. A factor influencing people's perceptions is past experience, but it is not the only one. In this research, we aim to discover how well the perceptions of the defect detection effectiveness of different techniques match their real effectiveness in the absence of prior experience. To do this, we conduct …

The motivation for this work resides in finding dynamical cosmological behaviors comparable with the $Λ$CDM model without the necessity of recurring to a dark energy component.

AdaMER-CTC: Connectionist Temporal Classification with Adaptive Maximum Entropy Regularization for Automatic Speech Recognition
In Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems, a recurring obstacle is the generation of narrowly focused output distributions. This phenomenon emerges as a side effect of Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC), a robust sequence learning tool that utilizes dynamic programming for sequence mapping. While earlier efforts have tried to combine the CTC loss with an entropy maximization regularization term to mitigate this issue, they employed a constant weighting term on the regularization du…

Testing EMRI models for Quasi-Periodic Eruptions with 3.5 years of monitoring eRO-QPE1
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous X-ray outbursts recurring on hour timescales, observed from the nuclei of a growing handful of nearby low-mass galaxies. Their physical origin is still debated, and usually modeled as (a) accretion disk instabilities or (b) interaction of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) with a lower mass companion in an extreme mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI). EMRI models can be tested with several predictions related to the short- and long-term behavior of QPEs. In this…

Nonparametric efficient causal estimation of the intervention-specific expected number of recurrent events with continuous-time targeted maximum likelihood and highly adaptive lasso estimation
Longitudinal settings involving outcome, competing risks and censoring events occurring and recurring in continuous time are common in medical research, but are often analyzed with methods that do not allow for taking post-baseline information into account. In this work, we define statistical and causal target parameters via the g-computation formula by carrying out interventions directly on the product integral representing the observed data distribution in a continuous-time counting process m…

Among others, the biological networks are enriched for certain recurring n…
