Biological information processing manifests a huge variety in its complexity and capability among different organisms, which presumably stems from the evolutionary optimization under limited computational resources. Starting from the…
We introduce the notions of kernel map and kernel set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space relative to a subspace lattice. The characterization of the kernel maps and kernel sets of finite rank operators leads to showing that…
We study the dynamics of complex polynomials. We obtain results on Poincare return maps defined on certain neighborhoods of a point with bounded orbit under a polynomial. We introduce a generalization of the Yoccoz tau-function, the Yoccoz…
The learned weights of a neural network are often considered devoid of scrutable internal structure. To discern structure in these weights, we introduce a measurable notion of modularity for multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), and investigate…
Adjoint operators have been found to be effective in the exploration of CNN's inner workings [1]. However, the previous no-bias assumption restricted its generalization. We overcome the restriction via embedding input images into an…
Body size or mass is one of the main factors underlying food webs structure. A large number of evolutionary models have shown that indeed, the adaptive evolution of body size (or mass) can give rise to hierarchically organised trophic…
Let $\mathbb C$ be the set of complex numbers, and let $\mathcal P$ be a collection of complex polynomial maps in several variables. Assuming at least one $P\in\mathcal P$ depends on at least two variables, we classify all possibilities for…
Python's typing system has evolved pragmatically into a powerful but theoretically fragmented system, with scattered specifications. This paper proposes a formalization to address this fragmentation. The central contribution is a formal…
A locally-optimal structure is a combinatorial structure such as a maximal independent set that cannot be improved by certain (greedy) local moves, even though it may not be globally optimal. It is trivial to construct an independent set in…
Predicting the fate of ecologies is a daunting, albeit extremely important, task. As part of this task one needs to develop an understanding of the organization, hierarchies, and correlations among the species forming the ecology. Focusing…
A brief introduction to the Python computing environment is given. By solving the master equation encountered in quantum transport, we give an example of how to solve the ODE problems in Python. The ODE solvers used are the ZVODE routine in…
Much recent work has addressed the solution of a family of partial differential equations by computing the inverse operator map between the input and solution space. Toward this end, we incorporate function-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert…
Multi-robot path planning is difficult due to the combinatorial explosion of the search space with every new robot added. Complete search of the combined state-space soon becomes intractable. In this paper we present a novel form of…
We extend the theory of low-rank matrix recovery and completion to the case when Poisson observations for a linear combination or a subset of the entries of a matrix are available, which arises in various applications with count data. We…
This paper presents an approach for learning motion planners that are accompanied with probabilistic guarantees of success on new environments that hold uniformly for any disturbance to the robot's dynamics within an admissible set. We…
Recent studies on the adversarial vulnerability of neural networks have shown that models trained to be more robust to adversarial attacks exhibit more interpretable saliency maps than their non-robust counterparts. We aim to quantify this…
Maintaining a map online is resource-consuming while a robust navigation system usually needs environment abstraction via a well-fused map. In this paper, we propose a mapless planner which directly conducts such abstraction on the unfused…
Evolutionary algorithms are wildly used in unmanned aerial vehicle path planning for their flexibility and effectiveness. Nevertheless, they are so sensitive to the change of environment that can't adapt to all scenarios. Due to this…
We investigate the feasibility problem for generalized inverse linear programs. Given an LP with affinely parametrized objective function and right-hand side as well as a target set Y, the goal is to decide whether the parameters can be…
Linear programming (LP) is an extremely useful tool which has been successfully applied to solve various problems in a wide range of areas, including operations research, engineering, economics, or even more abstract mathematical areas such…
