We study synchronization processes in networks of slightly non identical chaotic systems, for which a complete invariant synchronization manifold does not rigorously exist. We show and quantify how a slightly dispersed distribution in…
Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the approximate pattern matching problem asks for computation of a particular \emph{distance} function between $P$ and every $m$-substring of $T$. We consider a…
Asynchronous Gibbs sampling has been recently shown to be fast-mixing and an accurate method for estimating probabilities of events on a small number of variables of a graphical model satisfying Dobrushin's condition~\cite{DeSaOR16}. We…
The problem of sequential anomaly detection is considered, where multiple data sources are monitored in real time and the goal is to identify the "anomalous" ones among them, when it is not possible to sample all sources at all times. A…
The saddlepoint approximation gives an approximation to the density of a random variable in terms of its moment generating function. When the underlying random variable is itself the sum of $n$ unobserved i.i.d. terms, the basic classical…

We introduce Ordinal Synchronization ($OS$) as a new measure to quantify synchronization between dynamical systems. $OS$ is calculated from the extraction of the ordinal patterns related to two time series, their transformation into…
We adapt tools from information theory to analyze how an observer comes to synchronize with the hidden states of a finitary, stationary stochastic process. We show that synchronization is determined by both the process's internal…
In contrast to conventional robots, accurately modeling the kinematics and statics of continuum robots is challenging due to partially unknown material properties, parasitic effects, or unknown forces acting on the continuous body.…
We study the phase synchronization problem with measurements $Y=z^*z^{*H}+\sigma W\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, where $z^*$ is an $n$-dimensional complex unit-modulus vector and $W$ is a complex-valued Gaussian random matrix. It is assumed…
We derive optimal-order homogenization rates for random nonlinear elliptic PDEs with monotone nonlinearity in the uniformly elliptic case. More precisely, for a random monotone operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with stationary law (i.e. spatially…
Two new test statistics are introduced to test the null hypotheses that the sampling distribution has an increasing hazard rate on a specified interval [0,a]. These statistics are empirical L_1-type distances between the isotonic estimates,…

In a generalized framework, where multi-state and inter-state linkages are allowed, we derive a sufficient condition for the stability of synchronization in a network of chaotic attractors. This condition explicitly relates the network…
While we have intuitive notions of structure and complexity, the formalization of this intuition is non-trivial. The statistical complexity is a popular candidate. It is based on the idea that the complexity of a process can be quantified…
Symbol synchronization refers to the estimation of the start of a symbol interval and is needed for reliable detection. In this paper, we develop a symbol synchronization framework for molecular communication (MC) systems where we consider…
In this paper, we consider partially observable timed automata endowed with a single clock. A time interval is associated with each transition specifying at which clock values it may occur. In addition, a resetting condition associated to a…
This paper presents a new approach, based on polynomial optimization and the method of moments, to the problem of anomaly detection. The proposed technique only requires information about the statistical moments of the normal-state…

This paper introduces a novel, fast atomic-snapshot protocol for asynchronous message-passing systems. In the process of defining what ``fast'' means exactly, we spot a few interesting issues that arise when conventional time metrics are…
