Compact Routing on Internet-Like Graphs
The Thorup-Zwick (TZ) routing scheme is the first generic stretch-3 routing
scheme delivering a nearly optimal local memory upper bound. Using both direct
analysis and simulation, we calculate the stretch distribution of this routing
scheme on random graphs with power-law node degree distributions, . We find that the average stretch is very low and virtually
independent of . In particular, for the Internet interdomain graph,
, the average stretch is around 1.1, with up to 70% of paths
being shortest. As the network grows, the average stretch slowly decreases. The
routing table is very small, too. It is well below its upper bounds, and its
size is around 50 records for -node networks. Furthermore, we find that
both the average shortest path length (i.e. distance) and width of
the distance distribution observed in the real Internet inter-AS graph
have values that are very close to the minimums of the average stretch in the
- and -directions. This leads us to the discovery of a unique
critical quasi-stationary point of the average TZ stretch as a function of
and . The Internet distance distribution is located in a
close neighborhood of this point. This observation suggests the analytical
structure of the average stretch function may be an indirect indicator of some
hidden optimization criteria influencing the Internet's interdomain topology
evolution.Comment: 29 pages, 16 figure

Implementacija digitalnog generatora obojenog šuma bez množila
Colored noise can be generated by filtering of the white noise. It is a simple task. However, it becomes challenging if high operating speed of the generator is required. The realization of digital filter generally requires one multiplication per coefficient. Therefore, a high operating speed is achieved only with the cost of several generalpurpose multipliers. In this paper, a multiplierless realization of the colored noise generator is proposed. It is based on the filtering of 1-bit random signal by a finite impulse response filter. The design of the generator is described and its implementation is considered. Furthermore, an application is described in which the proposed generator is used in mitigation of undesired effects caused by nonlinearities in an analog to digital converter.Obojeni šum može se generirati filtriranjem bijelog šuma. To je jednostavan postupak. Međutim, on postaje izazovan ako se od generatora traži velika brzina rada. Realizacija digitalnog filtra u pravilu zahtijeva jedno množenje po koeficijentu. Zato se velika brzina rada može postići samo uz cijenu većeg broja množila opće namjene. U ovom radu predložena je realizacija generatora obojenog šuma koja ne sadrži množila. Ona se temelji se na filtraciji 1-bitnog slučajnog signala pomoću filtra s konačnim impulsnim odzivom. Opisano je projektiranje generatora te je razmotrena njegova implementacija. Nadalje, opisana je primjena u kojoj je predloženi generator iskorišten za smanjivanje utjecaja nelinearnosti u analogno digitalnom pretvorniku

A Style-Based Generator Architecture for Generative Adversarial Networks
We propose an alternative generator architecture for generative adversarial
networks, borrowing from style transfer literature. The new architecture leads
to an automatically learned, unsupervised separation of high-level attributes
(e.g., pose and identity when trained on human faces) and stochastic variation
in the generated images (e.g., freckles, hair), and it enables intuitive,
scale-specific control of the synthesis. The new generator improves the
state-of-the-art in terms of traditional distribution quality metrics, leads to
demonstrably better interpolation properties, and also better disentangles the
latent factors of variation. To quantify interpolation quality and
disentanglement, we propose two new, automated methods that are applicable to
any generator architecture. Finally, we introduce a new, highly varied and
high-quality dataset of human faces.Comment: CVPR 2019 final versio
L\'evy Processes on Quantum Permutation Groups
We describe basic motivations behind quantum or noncommutative probability,
introduce quantum L\'evy processes on compact quantum groups, and discuss
several aspects of the study of the latter in the example of quantum
permutation groups. The first half of this paper is a survey on quantum
probability, compact quantum groups, and L\'evy processes on compact quantum
groups. In the second half the theory is applied to quantum permutations
groups. Explicit examples are constructed and certain classes of such L\'evy
processes are classified.Comment: 60 page
