problem Unknown configurations for spherical curves with reductivity four and reduced curves without specific polygon types.
method Focused on 5-gons to find unavoidable sets for spherical curves with reductivity four. Constructed a reduced spherical curve without certain types of polygons.
result Found configurations for spherical curves with reductivity four and constructed a reduced curve without specific polygon types.
The reductivity of a spherical curve represents how reduced the spherical curve is. It is unknown if there exists a spherical curve whose reductivity is four. In this paper we give an unavoidable set for spherical curves with reductivity four by considering 4-gons.
We show that we can obtain a reducible spherical curve from any non-trivial spherical curve by four or less inverse-half-twisted splices, i.e., the reductivity, which represents how reduced a spherical curve is, is four or less. We also discuss unavoidable sets of tangles for spherical curves.
Before the operation of a motor imagery based brain-computer interface (BCI) adopting machine learning techniques, a cumbersome training procedure is unavoidable. The development of a practical BCI posed the challenge of classifying single-trial EEG with a small training set. In this letter, we addressed this problem b…
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 access to only function evaluations. However, there are situations in w…
We give a necessary and sufficient geometric structural condition for a stable codimension 1 integral varifold on a smooth Riemannian manifold to correspond to an embedded smooth hypersurface away from a small set of generally unavoidable singularities; when this condition is satisfied, the singular set is empty if the…
L1 regularized logistic regression has now become a workhorse of data mining and bioinformatics: it is widely used for many classification problems, particularly ones with many features. However, L1 regularization typically selects too many features and that so-called false positives are unavoidable. In this pape…
We show that there exist infinitely many pairs of distinct knots in the 3-sphere such that each pair can yield homeomorphic lens spaces by the same Dehn surgery. Moreover, each knot of the pair can be chosen to be a torus knot, a satellite knot or a hyperbolic knot, except that both cannot be satellite knots simultaneo…
Understanding the nature of dark energy, the mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the Universe, is a major challenge of modern cosmology. The next generation of cosmological surveys, specifically designed to address this issue, rely on accurate measurements of the apparent shapes of distant galaxies. H…
The interest rates (or nominal yields) can be negative, this is an unavoidable fact which has already been visible during the Great Depression (1929-39). Nowadays we can find negative rates easily by e.g. auditing. Several theoretical and practical ideas how to model and eventually overcome empirical negative rates can…
We study singularities of Lagrangian mean curvature flow in $\C^n$ when the initial condition is a zero-Maslov class Lagrangian. We start by showing that, in this setting, singularities are unavoidable. More precisely, we construct Lagrangians with arbitrarily small Lagrangian angle and Lagrangians which are Hamiltonia…
This work explains GAN mode collapse and convergence issues via optimal transportation theory.
problem GANs struggle with convergence and mode collapse due to discontinuous optimal transportation mappings.
method The study connects GANs to optimal transportation theory, testing hypotheses about discontinuity and proposing a new method to approximate continuous Brenier potentials.
result The supports of real data distributions are often non-convex, leading to discontinuous optimal transportation mappings and mode collapse in GANs.
New research shows invariant networks can approximate any continuous function.
problem Can invariant networks approximate any continuous invariant function?
method Considered a general case where G acts on Rn by permuting coordinates. Proved two main results: 1) G-invariant networks are universal with high-order tensors, 2) higher-order tensors are necessary for universality with some groups.
result Invariant networks can approximate any continuous invariant function under certain conditions.
