Refined bounds on the number of connected components of sign conditions on a variety
Let R be a real closed field, P, Q ⊂ R[X1, . . . , Xk] finite subsets of polynomials, with the degrees of the polynomials in P (resp. Q) bounded by d (resp. d0). Let V ⊂ Rk b...

Nonuniform Coverage Control on the Line
Abstract— This paper investigates control laws allowing mobile, autonomous agents to optimally position themselves on the line for distributed sensing in a nonuniform field. We ...

Degree Fluctuations and the Convergence Time of Consensus Algorithms
We consider a consensus algorithm in which every node in a time-varying undirected connected graph assigns equal weight to each of its neighbors. Under the assumption that the deg...

Fast Linearized Bregman Iteration for Compressive Sensing and Sparse Denoising
We propose and analyze an extremely fast, efficient and simple method for solving the problem: min{ u 1 :Au=f,u∈Rn }. This method was first described in [1], with more details i...

On the algebraic numbers computable by some generalized Ehrenfest urns
This article deals with some stochastic population protocols, motivated by theoretical aspects of distributed computing. We modelize the problem by a large urn of black and white ...

Mean-Variance Optimization in Markov Decision Processes
We consider finite horizon Markov decision processes under performance measures that involve both the mean and the variance of the cumulative reward. We show that either randomiz...

Optimal coding for the deletion channel with small deletion probability
The deletion channel is the simplest point-to-point communication channel that models lack of synchronization. Input bits are deleted independently with probability d, and when th...

Maximum Metric Spanning Tree made Byzantine Tolerant
Self-stabilization is a versatile approach to fault-tolerance since it permits a distributed system to recover from any transient fault that arbitrarily corrupts the contents of a...

A supervised clustering approach for fMRI-based inference of brain states
We propose a method that combines signals from many brain regions observed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to predict the subject’s behavior during a scanning se...
