Superpolynomial smoothed complexity of 3-FLIP in Local Max-Cut
We construct a graph with vertices where the smoothed runtime of the
3-FLIP algorithm for the 3-Opt Local Max-Cut problem can be as large as
. This provides the first example where a local search
algorithm for the Max-Cut problem can fail to be efficient in the framework of
smoothed analysis. We also give a new construction of graphs where the runtime
of the FLIP algorithm for the Local Max-Cut problem is for any
pivot rule. This graph is much smaller and has a simpler structure than
previous constructions.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure
Determining Inversion Barriers in Atrop- isomers - A Tutorial for Organic Chemists
Dynamic behavior is a fascinating property of natural and artificial systems and its understanding has significantly impacted the transformation of molecular interchanges into controlled molecular motion. In this tutorial, the key descriptors of enantiomeric stability are examined in-depth. Enantiomerization and racemization are discussed and differentiated on a fundamental level proposing a unified and distinct nomenclature. Their mathematical meanings and relations are described and deduced cohesively in the context of atropisomerization. The calculation of inversion barriers from thermodynamic and kinetic data is demonstrated and the interdependences between the latter are explained mathematically. Using current examples from our group, the determination of rate constants and the thermodynamic parameters is shown in a step-by-step manner using the most common techniques. The tutorial is concluded with aspects and considerations concerning statistical data analysis and error determination of measurements including a practical guide to Monte-Carlo simulations
The structure and density of -product-free sets in the free semigroup
The free semigroup over a finite alphabet is the
set of all finite words with letters from equipped with the
operation of concatenation. A subset of is -product-free
if no element of can be obtained by concatenating words from , and
strongly -product-free if no element of is a (non-trivial) concatenation
of at most words from .
We prove that a -product-free subset of has upper Banach
density at most , where . We also determine the structure of the extremal -product-free subsets
for all ; a special case of this proves a conjecture
of Leader, Letzter, Narayanan, and Walters. We further determine the structure
of all strongly -product-free sets with maximum density. Finally, we prove
that -product-free subsets of the free group have upper Banach density at
most , which confirms a conjecture of Ortega, Ru\'{e}, and Serra.Comment: 31 pages, added density results for the free grou
Towards a Trust Concept for Web Based Services of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems in the Smart Home
Usage of smart home solutions implies generation, processing, and storage of machine and personal data. Recently made public cases of data breaches and misuse increased peoples’ concerns of data security and decreased the trust in secure data handling and smart home technologies. Hence potential benefits are not exploited. It is therefore necessary to analyse how manufacturers can increase their online trust perception.
Requirements of (potential) customers of web based services for HVAC systems are identified using thematic analysis for 23 conducted interviews using online trust perception literature as basis. Manufacturer independent websites are derived as the most important online touch point for customers with manufacturers and products. Determined content and structure measures for online touch points managed by manufacturers derived to positively influence the manufacturer and manufacturer independent touch points regarding perception of trust. The derived trust concept must be evaluated in the following using the defined evaluation plan
Universe's Primordial Quantum Memories
We provide a very general argument showing that the Universe must have kept
its quantum memories from an epoch much earlier than e-foldings before the
end of inflation. The point is that a generic system of enhanced memory storage
capacity exhibits a phenomenon of memory burden. Due to its universal nature
this effect must be applicable to de Sitter since the latter has a maximal
memory storage capacity thanks to its Gibbons-Hawking entropy. The primordial
information pattern encoded in de Sitter memory initially costs very little
energy. However, because of Gibbons-Hawking evaporation, the memory burden of
the pattern grows in time and increasingly back reacts on the evaporation
process. After a finite time the memory burden becomes unbearable and de Sitter
quantum breaks. If inflation ended not long before its quantum break-time, the
imprints of the primordial memory pattern can be observable. This provides a
qualitatively new type of window in the Universe's beginning, a sort of cosmic
quantum hair.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure
Black Hole Metamorphosis and Stabilization by Memory Burden
Systems of enhanced memory capacity are subjected to a universal effect of
memory burden, which suppresses their decay. In this paper, we study a
prototype model to show that memory burden can be overcome by rewriting stored
quantum information from one set of degrees of freedom to another one. However,
due to a suppressed rate of rewriting, the evolution becomes extremely slow
compared to the initial stage. Applied to black holes, this predicts a
metamorphosis, including a drastic deviation from Hawking evaporation, at the
latest after losing half of the mass. This raises a tantalizing question about
the fate of a black hole. As two likely options, it can either become extremely
long lived or decay via a new classical instability into gravitational lumps.
The first option would open up a new window for small primordial black holes as
viable dark matter candidates.Comment: 34 pages, 8 figures, 1 appendi
Abundance: Asymmetric Graph Removal Lemmas and Integer Solutions to Linear Equations
We prove that a large family of pairs of graphs satisfy a polynomial
dependence in asymmetric graph removal lemmas. In particular, we give an
unexpected answer to a question of Gishboliner, Shapira, and Wigderson by
showing that for every , there are -abundant graphs of
chromatic number . Using similar methods, we also extend work of Ruzsa by
proving that a set which avoids solutions
with distinct integers to an equation of genus at least two has size
. The best previous bound was and the
exponent of is best possible in such a result. Finally, we investigate
the relationship between polynomial dependencies in asymmetric removal lemmas
and the problem of avoiding integer solutions to equations. The results suggest
a potentially deep correspondence. Many open questions remain.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figure
