This paper presents DLL, a fast direct map-based localization technique using 3D LIDAR for its application to aerial robots. DLL implements a point cloud to map registration based on non-linear optimization of the distance of the points and…
We consider a random family of Dirac operators on $N$ parallel real lines, modelling for example a graphene nanoribbon. We establish a localization criterion involving properties on the group generated by transfer matrices. In particular,…
A semiclassical argument is used to show that the low-lying spectrum of a selfadjoint operator, the so-called spectral localizer, determines the number of Dirac or Weyl points of an ideal semimetal. Apart from the IMS localization…
The purpose of this paper is to present an example of a C1 (in the Fr\'echet sense) discrete dynamical system in a infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space for which the origin is an exponentially asymptotically stable fixed point, but…
We prove uniqueness in law for possibly degenerate SDEs having a linear part in the drift term. Diffusion coefficients corresponding to non-degenerate directions of the noise are assumed to be continuous. When the diffusion part is constant…
We initiate a systematic study of natural differential operators in Riemannian geometry whose leading symbols are not of Laplace type. In particular, we define a discrete leading symbol for such operators which may be computed pointwise, or…
We present a method for determining the unknown location of a sensor placed in a known 2D environment in the presence of unknown dynamic obstacles, using only few distance measurements. We present guarantees on the quality of the…
A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a…
We study the essential self-adjointness for real principal type differential operators. Unlike the elliptic case, we need geometric conditions even for operators on the Euclidean space with asymptotically constant coefficients, and we prove…
This work constructs symbolic dynamics for non-uniformly hyperbolic surface maps with a set of discontinuities $D$. We allow the derivative of points nearby $D$ to be unbounded, of the order of a negative power of the distance to $D$. Under…
Accurate estimation of the environment structure simultaneously with the robot pose is a key capability of autonomous robotic vehicles. Classical simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms rely on the static world assumption to…
In this text we describe the spectral nature (pure point or continuous) of a self-similar Sturm-Liouville operator on the line or the half-line. This is motivated by the more general problem of understanding the spectrum of Laplace…
We consider quasiperiodic operators on $\mathbb Z^d$ with unbounded monotone sampling functions ("Maryland-type"), which are not required to be strictly monotone and are allowed to have flat segments. Under several geometric conditions on…
We study underdetermined-elliptic linear partial differential operators $P$ on asymptotically Euclidean manifolds, such as the divergence operator on 1-forms or symmetric 2-tensors. Suitably interpreted, these are instances of (weighted)…
We consider the computation of an approximately stationary point for a Lipschitz and semialgebraic function $f$ with a local oracle. If $f$ is smooth, simple deterministic methods have dimension-free finite oracle complexities. For the…
We present the first rigorous result on Anderson localization for interacting systems of quantum particles subject to a deterministic (e.g., almost periodic) disordered external potential. For a particular class of deterministic, fermionic,…
Based on the needs of convergence proofs of preconditioned proximal point methods, we introduce notions of partial strong submonotonicity and partial (metric) subregularity of set-valued maps. We study relationships between these two…
Existence of symmetric objects, whose observation at different viewpoints can be identical, can deteriorate the performance of simultaneous localization and mapping(SLAM). This work proposes a system for robustly optimizing the pose of…
In this note we introduce some nonlinear extremal nonlocal operators that approximate the, so called, truncated Laplacians. For these operators we construct representation formulas that lead to the construction of what, with an abuse of…
