This document summarizes spatial array processing and signal estimation techniques. It discusses how sensor arrays can be used to estimate the number and directions of arrival of multiple signal sources. Key techniques include beamforming, MUSIC, root-MUSIC, and ESPRIT algorithms. These algorithms use eigendecomposition and subspace projections to estimate signal parameters from sensor array data with high resolution. The document also covers stochastic approaches to estimate unknown signal waveforms after determining the signal parameters.
Cosmological Perturbations and Numerical SimulationsIan Huston
ย
Talk given at Queen Mary, University of London in March 2010.
Cosmological perturbation theory is well established as a tool for
probing the inhomogeneities of the early universe.
In this talk I will motivate the use of perturbation theory and
outline the mathematical formalism. Perturbations beyond linear order
are especially interesting as non-Gaussian effects can be used to
constrain inflationary models.
I will show how the Klein-Gordon equation at second order, written in
terms of scalar field variations only, can be numerically solved.
The slow roll version of the second order source term is used and the
method is shown to be extendable to the full equation. This procedure
allows the evolution of second order perturbations in general and the
calculation of the non-Gaussianity parameter in cases where there is
no analytical solution available.

Poster Partial And Complete Observablesguest9fa195
ย
This document discusses a method for finding complete observables, which are gauge invariant quantities, in systems with and without constraints.
In systems without constraints, the method begins with a "clock" (partial observable) and a constant of motion to obtain a complete observable. For systems with constraints, it begins with a set of clocks equal to the number of constraints and another partial observable, obtaining a gauge invariant complete observable.
Examples are provided for a particle in a gravitational field, a model with two constraints, and a field theory model. Different choices of clocks and partial observables are shown to result in different complete observables. The method provides complete observables in terms of initial conditions and constants of motion.

We discuss two recent methods in which an object with a certain property is sought. In both, using of a straightforward random object would succeed with only exponentially small probability. The new randomized algorithms run efficiently and also give new proofs of the existence of the desired object. In both cases there is a potentially broad use of the methodology.
(i) Consider an instance of k-SAT in which each clause overlaps (has a variable in common, regardless of the negation symbol) with at most d others. Lovasz showed that when ed < 2k (regardless of the number of variables) the conjunction of the clauses was satisfiable. The new approach due to Moser is to start with a random true-false assignment. In a WHILE loop, if any clause is not satisfied we โfix itโ by a random reassignment. The analysis of the algorithm is unusual, connecting the running of the algorithm with certain Tetris patterns, and leading to some algebraic combinatorics. [These results apply in a quite general setting with underlying independent โcoin flipsโ and bad events (the clause not being satisfied) that depend on only a few of the coin flips.]
(ii) No Outliers. Given n vectors rj in n-space with all coefficients in [โ1,+1] one wants a vector x = (x1, ..., xn) with all xi = +1 or โ1 so that all dot products x ยท rj are at most K โ n in absolute value, K an absolute constant. A random x would make x ยท rj Gaussian but there would be outliers. The existence of such an x was first shown by the speaker. The first algorithm was found by Nikhil Bansal. The approach here, due to Lovett and Meka, is to begin with x = (0, ..., 0) and let it float in a kind of restricted Brownian Motion until all the coordinates hit the boundary.

Ptychography is a technique for scanning diffractive imaging that allows reconstruction of the phase and amplitude of an object from multiple diffraction patterns collected at different positions. It uses an iterative algorithm to recover the object by alternating between updating an estimated object and simulated diffraction patterns.

The document summarizes a talk on solving large scale linear network flow problems with MOSEK. It outlines the network simplex algorithm, how MOSEK exploits the structure of network problems, and provides computational results comparing MOSEK to other network solvers. MOSEK uses a primal network simplex method that is highly tuned for large problems by exploiting degeneracy and using efficient data structures. Computational tests show MOSEK outperforms earlier network solvers and is competitive with specialized network simplex and cost-scaling implementations.
This document proposes a novel formulation using Gaussian processes to estimate the characteristics of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear release using sensor measurements in a complex environment. It develops (1) a Bayesian inference framework to reconstruct the pollutant concentration field from noisy sensor data, using a specially designed Gaussian process kernel that incorporates information about the flow field, and (2) methods to then estimate the source location and release time by analyzing properties of the reconstructed concentration field. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the approach can accurately estimate the release time using change point detection on the reconstructed cloud expansion and the source location by maximizing the concentration field at the estimated release time.
Nonlinear Stochastic Optimization by the Monte-Carlo MethodSSA KPI
ย
This document describes a method for solving stochastic optimization problems using Monte Carlo simulation. It introduces Monte Carlo estimators for the objective function, its gradient, and the covariance matrix that can be computed using a random sample. It then presents an iterative stochastic gradient descent procedure where the sample size is adjusted at each iteration inversely proportional to the square of the gradient estimate. Two theorems prove that this approach ensures convergence to the optimal solution and provides accuracy bounds on the estimate of the distance to the optimal point. The method offers a way to efficiently solve stochastic optimization problems using adaptive sample sizes.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
ย
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
