Query Complexity of Derivative-Free Optimization [PDF]
This paper provides lower bounds on the convergence rate of Derivative Free Optimization (DFO) with noisy function evaluations, exposing a fundamental and unavoidable gap between the performance of algorithms with access to gradients and those with ...

Strong Converse for a Degraded Wiretap Channel via Active Hypothesis Testing
We establish an upper bound on the rate of codes for a wiretap channel with public feedback for a fixed probability of error and secrecy parameter. As a corollary, we obtain a strong converse for the capacity of a degraded wiretap channel with public ...

Abstract Directional data analysis plays a central role in paleomagnetism, where observations lie on a spherical surface. Existing methods for analyzing directional data often fail to incorporate prior physical knowledge about plate geodynamics, significantly constraining their potential.

Chirality‐driven all‐optical image differentiation
Abstract Optical analog computing enables powerful functionalities, including spatial differentiation, image processing, and ultrafast linear operations. Yet, most existing approaches rely on resonant or periodic structures, whose performance is strongly wavelength‐dependent, imposing bandwidth limitations and demanding stringent fabrication tolerances.

List Decoding Bounds for Binary Codes with Noiseless Feedback
In an error-correcting code, a sender encodes a message $x \in \{ 0, 1 \}^k$ such that it is still decodable by a receiver on the other end of a noisy channel. In the setting of \emph{error-correcting codes with feedback}, after sending each bit, the sender learns what was received at the other end and can tailor future messages accordingly. While the

Abstract Ecological community data are used to infer levels of environmental stressors; for example, epiphytic lichen communities can be used to estimate levels of air pollutants. If stressors are so severe that the community of interest disappears altogether, then “empty” plots are recorded.

Non¿binary error correcting codes with noiseless feedback, localized errors, or both [PDF]
We investigate non--binary error correcting codes with noiseless feedback, localized errors, or both. It turns out that the Hamming bound is a central concept. For block codes with feedback we present here a coding scheme based on an idea of erasions, which we call the {\bf rubber method}.

An Implicit Enumeration Approach for Maximum Ratio Clique Relaxations
ABSTRACT This article proposes an implicit enumeration approach to solve the maximum ratio s$$ s $$‐plex and the maximum ratio s$$ s $$‐defective clique problems. The approach is inspired by the classical Bron‐Kerbosch algorithm for enumerating all maximal cliques in a graph, which is extended to enumerating structures that are hereditary on induced ...

Open and Closed Loop Approaches for Energy Efficient Quantum Optimal Control
Concepts from quantum thermodynamics and optimal control are blended to derive a theoretical framework to quantify and minimize the energetic cost of a pulse for unitary synthesis. Two complementary techniques (based on GRAPE and Reinforce‐DRL) are implemented as open‐source software that co‐optimizes the fidelity and energetic cost within quantum ...

Nonlinear multimode photonics on‐chip
Abstract Nonlinear integrated photonics, which takes advantage of the strong field enhancement in integrated waveguides to boost the efficiency of nonlinear effects, has paved the way for the demonstration of cutting‐edge applications. These achievements have also been made possible by the impressive progress in material engineering and fabrication ...
