The study of formations and dynamics of opinions leading to the so called opinion consensus is one of the most important areas in mathematical modeling of social sciences. Following the Boltzmann type control recently introduced in [G. Albi, M. Herty, L. Pareschi arXiv:1401.7798], we consider a group of opinion leaders which modify their strategy accordingly to an objective functional with the aim to achieve opinion consensus. The main feature of the Boltzmann type control is that, thanks to an instantaneous binary control formulation, it permits to embed the minimization of the cost functional into the microscopic leaders interactions of the corresponding Boltzmann equation. The related Fokker-Planck asymptotic limits are also derived which allow to give explicit expressions of stationary solutions. The results demonstrate the validity of the Boltzmann type control approach and the capability of the leaders control to strategically lead the followers opinion.
The computational limit_to_quantum_determinism_and_the_black_hole_information...Sérgio Sacani
The document discusses the limits of quantum determinism and its implications for the black hole information paradox. It argues that assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH), which conjectures that known algorithms for solving computational NP-complete problems are optimal, quantum determinism cannot generally be used to predict the future state of a physical system, especially macroscopic systems. This is because even if the initial state were known precisely, it may be impossible in the real world to solve the system's Schrodinger equation in time to predict its final state before an observation. The breakdown of quantum determinism in black hole formation and evaporation may support SETH and help resolve the black hole information paradox.
Double General Point Interactions Symmetry and Tunneling TimesMolly Lee
This document presents original research on modeling double point barriers in quantum mechanics using generalized point interactions. It investigates the symmetry properties of double point barriers under parity transformations and derives the necessary conditions for the barriers to have well-defined parity. It also examines the limits of zero interbarrier distance for odd and even arrangements. Finally, it calculates the phase and tunneling times for barriers with defined parity and discusses whether the generalized Hartman effect occurs in the opaque limit.
This document summarizes a study of nonlinear nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics for systems that are far from equilibrium. The authors propose a method using Zubarev's nonequilibrium distribution function as the mathematical basis. They derive an expression for mean nonequilibrium fluxes to second order, including second derivatives and squares of first derivatives of thermodynamic parameters. A successive approximations method is constructed to eliminate time derivatives of parameters in expressions for mean nonequilibrium fluxes.
Transforms, such as the Fourier transform, make calculations involving signals easier by allowing analysis and computation to be done in either the time or frequency domain. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) transforms a discrete signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. The DFT has several important properties including periodicity, linearity, time shifting, time reversal, and convolution. These properties allow for analysis of signals and simplify computations involving discrete signals and transforms.

The document summarizes two sorting algorithms: Mergesort and Quicksort. Mergesort uses a divide and conquer approach, recursively splitting the list into halves and then merging the sorted halves. Quicksort uses a partitioning approach, choosing a pivot element and partitioning the list into elements less than and greater than the pivot. The average time complexity of Quicksort is O(n log n) while the worst case is O(n^2).
The purpose of this work is to formulate and investigate a boundary integral method for the solution of the internal waves/Rayleigh-Taylor problem. This problem describes the evolution of the interface between two immiscible, inviscid, incompressible, irrotational fluids of different density in three dimensions. The motion of the interface and fluids is driven by the action of a gravity force, surface tension at the interface, elastic bending and/or a prescribed far-field pressure gradient. The interface is a generalized vortex sheet, and dipole density is interpreted as the (unnormalized) vortex sheet strength. Presence of the surface tension or elastic bending effects introduces high order derivatives into the evolution equations. This makes the considered problem stiff and the application of the standard explicit time-integration methods suffers strong time-step stability constraints.
The proposed numerical method employs a special interface parameterization that enables the use of an efficient implicit time-integration method via a small-scale decomposition. This approach allows one to capture the nonlinear growth of normal modes for the case of Rayleigh-Taylor instability with the heavier fluid on top.
Validation of the results is done by comparison of numeric solution to the analytic solution of the linearized problem for a short time. We check the energy and the interface mean height preservation. The developed model and numerical method can be efficiently applied to study the motion of internal waves for doubly periodic interfacial flows with surface tension and elastic bending stress at the interface.
This document provides an overview of swarm robotics. It begins with examples of decentralized control and self-organization in natural swarms like ants and bees. It then discusses how swarm robotics takes inspiration from these systems, using local control methods, local communication, and self-organization to complete collective tasks without centralized control. The rest of the document focuses on a proposed system for gesture recognition to allow human control of swarm robots. It describes hand detection, feature extraction, and hardware implementation using three foot-bot robots. It concludes with potential applications of swarm robotics and areas for future work.

1) The document discusses a model of stochastic spiking neural networks where dynamical neuronal gains produce self-organized criticality. Introducing dynamic neuronal gains Γi[t] in addition to dynamic synaptic weights Wij[t] allows the system to self-organize toward a critical region without requiring divergent timescales.
2) For finite recovery timescales τ, the model exhibits self-organized supercriticality (SOSC) where the average neuronal gain Γ* is always slightly above critical. SOSC may help explain biological phenomena like large avalanches and epileptic activity.
3) The model provides a new framework to study self-organized phenomena in neuronal networks, including potential analytic solutions and
This document provides an outline for a lecture on complex dynamics in Hamiltonian systems. Some key points:
1) Simple periodic orbits called nonlinear normal modes exist and can destabilize, leading to weak or strong chaos depending on their properties.
2) Dynamical indicators like Lyapunov exponents and the Generalized Alignment Index (GALI) can identify regions of order and chaos. The Lyapunov spectrum indicates when orbits explore the same chaotic region.
3) GALI rapidly detects chaos as deviation vectors become aligned, and identifies quasiperiodic motion by vectors remaining independent. It distinguishes weak and strong chaos based on exponential decay rates.
This document is a master's thesis that analyzes stochastic oscillations and their power spectra. It begins with an introduction that discusses the ubiquity and challenges of modeling stochastic oscillations in biological systems. These oscillations are characterized by their autocorrelation functions and power spectra, which often display a narrow peak at a preferred frequency. The thesis will focus on analyzing the power spectra of two specific models of stochastic oscillations: an integrate-and-fire neuron driven by colored noise and a noisy heteroclinic oscillator. It will develop and apply analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical approaches to calculate the power spectra and characterize oscillations, comparing results to stochastic simulations.
1) This document summarizes research on phase transitions and self-organized criticality in networks of stochastic spiking neurons. It presents a mean-field model of neurons that exhibits continuous and discontinuous phase transitions between silent and active states.
2) The model shows power law distributions of neuronal avalanche sizes and durations near the critical point, consistent with experimental data. Introducing dynamic neuronal gains instead of static synapses allows the system to self-organize to a slightly supercritical state.
3) Future work is proposed to better understand the effects of network topology, inhibitory neurons, and to apply the model to more realistic large-scale neuronal networks modeling different brain regions. The research contributes to understanding phase transitions and
This document discusses using an observability index to decompose the Kalman filter into two filters applied sequentially: 1) A filter estimating the transitional process caused by uncertainty in initial conditions, which treats the system as deterministic. 2) A filter estimating the steady state that treats the system as stochastic. The observability index measures observability as a signal-to-noise ratio to evaluate how long it takes to estimate states in the presence of noise. This decomposition simplifies filter implementation and reduces computational requirements by restricting estimated states and dividing the observation period into transitional and steady state estimation.
1) The document studies the noise sensitivity of balancing tasks modeled as an inverted pendulum with delayed feedback control.
2) It considers two control strategies - act and wait control with intermittent feedback, and continuous feedback control governed by a switching manifold.
3) For act and wait control, stability is maximized near "deadbeat" control parameters, but noise can still cause fluctuations during waiting periods. Continuous feedback control exhibits bistability near bifurcation points, making it sensitive to noise near these points.

This document summarizes key concepts from CS 221 lecture 5 on hidden Markov models and temporal filtering. The lecture covered Markov chains, hidden Markov models, and particle filtering for approximate inference in hidden Markov models. Hidden Markov models extend Markov chains to allow for hidden states that are observed indirectly through emissions. Particle filtering uses samples or "particles" to represent the distribution over hidden states and approximate inference.
This document summarizes statistical tests for comparing a sample distribution to a theoretical distribution. It discusses Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests (TN,1 and TN,2) that compare the empirical distribution function to the theoretical one. It also discusses Cramér–von Mises tests (TN,3 and TN,4) that integrate the squared differences between the empirical and theoretical distributions. The document proves that TN,1, TN,2, and TN,3 converge in distribution to integrals involving a Brownian bridge process. It also discusses that TN,1 and TN,2 are consistent under certain alternatives, while TN,3 and TN,4 are consistent under other alternatives. The document introduces a self-normalized test statistic

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Constrained self-organized systems
We consider problems of collective behavior related to the
process of alignment, like in opinion consensus dynamics. 3
Dierently to the classical approach we are interested in such
problems in a constrained setting. 4
Mean{
9. eld control theory has raised lot of interest in recent
years. 5 The general setting consists in a control problem
involving a very large number of agents where both the
evolution of the state and the objective functional of each agent
are in

The introduced scaling corresponds to the situation where the
interaction operator concentrates on binary interactions which
produce a very small change in the opinion of the agents. From a
modeling viewpoint, we require that the scaling in the limit ! 0
preserves the main macroscopic properties of the kinetic system.

optimal control problems for large systems of interacting agents.
The main feature of the method is that the control is explicitly
embedded in the resulting interacting dynamic.
Dierent generalizations of the approach are possible: like the
application of this control methodology on social networks.
A fundamental problem in understanding the physics of this
complex systems is the impact of errors, or uncertainty in data as
parameters values or initial values. The development of ecient
numerical methods for such stochastic models is essential
because of our incomplete knowledge of the underlying physics.
