During recent decades, there has been a substantial development in optimal mass transport theory and methods. In this work, we consider multi-marginal problems wherein only partial information of each marginal is available, a common setup in many inverse problems in, e.g., remote sensing and imaging. By considering an entropy regularized approximation of the original transport problem, we propose
The reassignment vectors of the matched reassigned spectrogram (MRS) have shown to be sensitive to noise, with resulting degraded precision in the time-frequency localization. In this paper we propose a multitaper reassignment (mtRS) method for estimation of time- and frequency locations of Gaussian envelope transients. We present novel expressions for the reassignment vectors with use of a non-ma
In this paper, the matched reassigned spectrogram is expanded into a novel matched phase reassignment (MPR) method based on the reassigned cross-spectrogram. It is shown that for two phase synchronized oscillating transient signals, the method gives perfect time-frequency (TF) localization. The MPR is thereby a TF local measure of phase synchronization and can also be used to measure phase differe
This paper investigates the extraction of time-frequency (TF) features for classification of electroencephalography (EEG) signals and episodic memory. We propose a model based on the definition of locally stationary processes (LSPs), estimate the model parameters, and derive a mean square error (MSE) optimal Wigner-Ville spectrum (WVS) estimator for the signals. The estimator is compared with stat
We introduce a time adaptive multirate method based on the Dirichlet-Neumann waveform relaxation (DNWR) algorithm for the simulation of two coupled linear heat equations with strong jumps in the material coefficients across the interface. Numerical results are included to illustrate the advantages of the time adaptive approach over the multirate approach and the robustness of the multirate DNWR me
Reliable simulations of flows in real applications involve the task of discretizing both space and time in an accurate and efficient way. To cope with the large semidiscrete systems resulting from a space discretization on appropriate grids, which often include comparatively few very small cells near solid walls for boundary layer resolution, an implicit-explicit time stepping scheme can be the mo
The traditional parametric approach to Granger causality (GC), based on linear vector autoregressive modeling, suffers from difficulties related to the inaccurate modeling of the generative process. These limits can be solved by using nonparametric spectral estimates in the frequency-domain formulation of GC, also known as spectral GC. In a simulation study, we compare the mean square error of th
The elliptic flow (v2) of (anti-)3He is measured in Pb–Pb collisions at sNN=5.02TeV in the transverse-momentum (pT) range of 2–6 GeV/c for the centrality classes 0–20%, 20–40%, and 40–60% using the event-plane method. This measurement is compared to that of pions, kaons, and protons at the same center-of-mass energy. A clear mass ordering is observed at low pT, as expected from relativistic hydrod
Studies of native syntactic processing often target phrase structure violations that do not occur in natural production. In contrast, this study examines how variation in basic word order is processed, looking specifically at structures traditionally labelled as violations but that do occur naturally. We examined Swedish verb-second (V2) and verb-third (V3) word order-processing in adult native Sw
The 4MOST instrument is a multi-object spectrograph that will address Galactic and extragalactic science cases simultaneously by observing targets from a large number of different surveys within each science exposure. This parallel mode of operation and the survey nature of 4MOST require some distinct 4MOST- specific operational features within the overall operations model of ESO. The main featur
The edge strength of glass is analyzed using a Weibull statistical framework based on 78 data samples from a range of experiments recorded in literature. Based on the analysis, a 45 MPa strength value (computed as the lower bound in a one-sided confidence interval at the 75% level for the 5-percentile in the distribution) could be conservatively used with arrised, ground and polished edges when re
This Letter presents the first direct investigation of the p–Σ0 interaction, using the femtoscopy technique in high-multiplicity pp collisions at s=13 TeV measured by the ALICE detector. The Σ0 is reconstructed via the decay channel to Λγ, and the subsequent decay of Λ to pπ−. The photon is detected via the conversion in material to e+e− pairs exploiting the capability of the ALICE detector to mea
A test of CP invariance in Higgs boson production via vector-boson fusion is performed in the H→ττ decay channel. This test uses the Optimal Observable method and is carried out using 36.1fb−1 of s=13TeV proton–proton collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Contributions from CP-violating interactions between the Higgs boson and electroweak gauge bosons are described by an eff
Measurements of inclusive, differential cross-sections for the production of events with missing transverse momentum in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV are presented. The measurements are made with the ATLAS detector using an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 and include measurements of dijet distributions in a region in which vector-boson fusion processes are enhan
Several processes studied by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider produce low-momentum Formula Presented-flavored hadrons in the final state. This paper describes the calibration of a dedicated tagging algorithm that identifies Formula Presented-flavored hadrons outside of hadronic jets by reconstructing the soft secondary vertices originating from their decays. The calibration is bas
The production of single top quarks and top antiquarks via the t-channel exchange of a virtual W boson is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC using 140 fb−1 of ATLAS data. The total cross-sections are determined to be σtq=137−8+8 pb and σt¯q=84−5+6 pb for top-quark and top-antiquark production, respectively. The combined cross-section is found to be
This Letter presents the most precise measurement to date of the matter-antimatter imbalance at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sNN=5.02 TeV. Using the Statistical Hadronization framework, it is possible to obtain the value of the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μQ=-0.18±0.90 MeV and μB=0.71±0.45 MeV, with unprecedented precision. A centr
The ALICE Collaboration reports a search for jet quenching effects in high-multiplicity (HM) proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV, using the semi-inclusive azimuthal-difference distribution ∆φ of charged-particle jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-pT,trig) trigger hadron. Jet quenching may broaden the ∆φ distribution measured in HM events compared to that in minimum bias (MB) e
The azimuthal anisotropy of particles associated with jets (jet particles) at midrapidity is measured for the first time in p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV down to transverse momentum (pT) of 0.5 GeV/c and 2 GeV/c, respectively, with ALICE. The results obtained in p-Pb collisions are based on a novel three-particle correlation technique. The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v2 in high-
