Canonical Interacting Quantum Fields on Two-Dimensional De Sitter Space

We present the ${\mathscr P}(\varphi)_2$ model on de Sitter space in the canonical formulation. We discuss the role of the Noether theorem and we provide explicit expressions for the energy-stress tensor of the interacting model.Comment: minor correction

A cost-sensitive learning algorithm for fuzzy rule-based classifiers

Designing classifiers may follow different goals. Which goal to prefer among others depends on the given cost situation and the class distribution. For example, a classifier designed for best accuracy in terms of misclassifica- tions may fail when the cost of misclassification of one class is much higher than that of the other. This paper presents a decision-theoretic extension to make fuzzy rule generation cost-sensitive. Furthermore, it will be shown how interpretability aspects and the costs of feature acquisition can be ac- counted for during classifier design. Natural language text is used to explain the generated fuzzy rules and their design proces

Lower Bounds on the Success Probability for ad hoc Networks with local FDMA scheduling

This paper studies the performance of ad hoc networks with local FDMA scheduling using stochastic point processes. In such networks, the Poisson assumption is not justified due to interdependencies between points introduced by scheduling. For this reason, an upper bound on the second reduced moment measure is derived. Using this result, two lower bounds on the success probability are given, based on the second order product density and a non-homogeneous Poisson approximation. The relative performance of local FDMA is compared to random channel access. It is shown that the relative outage probability reduction of local FDMA highly depends on the SIR threshold as well as on the ratio of transmission distance to orthogonalization distance. If these two quantities are small, the improvement is high; the number of channels has only a minor effect on the relative improvement
