The concept of a clone belongs to the algebraic main concepts and has important applications in Computer Science. A clone can also be regarded as a many-sorted algebra where the sorts are the n-ary operations defined on set A for all natural numbers n >= 1 and the operations are the so-called superposition operations S-m(n) for natural numbers m, n >= 1 and the projection operations as nullary operations. Clones generalize monoids of transformations defined on set A and satisfy three clone axioms. The most important axiom is the superassociative law, a generalization of the associative law. If the superposition operations are partial, i.e. not everywhere defined, instead of the many-sorted clone algebra, one obtains partial many-sorted algebras, the partial clones. Linear terms, linear tree languages or linear formulas form partial clones. In this paper, we give a survey on partial clones and their properties.}, language = {en} } @article{SomogyvariReich2020, author = {Somogyv{\´a}ri, M{\´a}rk and Reich, Sebastian}, title = {Convergence tests for transdimensional Markov chains in geoscience imaging}, series = {Mathematical geosciences : the official journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences}, volume = {52}, journal = {Mathematical geosciences : the official journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences}, number = {5}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {1874-8961}, doi = {10.1007/s11004-019-09811-x}, pages = {651 -- 668}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Classic inversion methods adjust a model with a predefined number of parameters to the observed data. With transdimensional inversion algorithms such as the reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (rjMCMC), it is possible to vary this number during the inversion and to interpret the observations in a more flexible way. Geoscience imaging applications use this behaviour to automatically adjust model resolution to the inhomogeneities of the investigated system, while keeping the model parameters on an optimal level. The rjMCMC algorithm produces an ensemble as result, a set of model realizations, which together represent the posterior probability distribution of the investigated problem. The realizations are evolved via sequential updates from a randomly chosen initial solution and converge toward the target posterior distribution of the inverse problem. Up to a point in the chain, the realizations may be strongly biased by the initial model, and must be discarded from the final ensemble. With convergence assessment techniques, this point in the chain can be identified. Transdimensional MCMC methods produce ensembles that are not suitable for classic convergence assessment techniques because of the changes in parameter numbers. To overcome this hurdle, three solutions are introduced to convert model realizations to a common dimensionality while maintaining the statistical characteristics of the ensemble. A scalar, a vector and a matrix representation for models is presented, inferred from tomographic subsurface investigations, and three classic convergence assessment techniques are applied on them. It is shown that appropriately chosen scalar conversions of the models could retain similar statistical ensemble properties as geologic projections created by rasterization.}, language = {en} } @article{Ly2020, author = {Ly, Ibrahim}, title = {A Cauchy problem for the Cauchy-Riemann operator}, series = {Afrika Matematika}, volume = {32}, journal = {Afrika Matematika}, number = {1-2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Heidelberg}, issn = {1012-9405}, doi = {10.1007/s13370-020-00810-4}, pages = {69 -- 76}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation with data on a piece S of the boundary surface partial derivative X.

The estimation of these properties is usually done by fitting temperature variations calculated by thermophysical models to infrared observations. For multiple free model parameters, traditional methods such as least-squares fitting or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods become computationally too expensive. Consequently, the simultaneous estimation of several thermophysical parameters, together with their corresponding uncertainties and correlations, is often not computationally feasible and the analysis is usually reduced to fitting one or two parameters. Data assimilation (DA) methods have been shown to be robust while sufficiently accurate and computationally affordable even for a large number of parameters. This paper will introduce a standard sequential DA method, the ensemble square root filter, for thermophysical modelling of asteroid surfaces. This method is used to re-analyse infrared observations of the MARA instrument, which measured the diurnal temperature variation of a single boulder on the surface of near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The thermal inertia is estimated to be 295 +/- 18 Jm(-2) K-1 s(-1/2), while all five free parameters of the initial analysis are varied and estimated simultaneously. Based on this thermal inertia estimate the thermal conductivity of the boulder is estimated to be between 0.07 and 0.12,Wm(-1) K-1 and the porosity to be between 0.30 and 0.52. For the first time in thermophysical parameter derivation, correlations and uncertainties of all free model parameters are incorporated in the estimation procedure that is more than 5000 times more efficient than a comparable parameter sweep.}, language = {en} } @article{LudewigRoos2020, author = {Ludewig, Matthias and Roos, Saskia}, title = {The chiral anomaly of the free fermion in functorial field theory}, series = {Annales Henri Poincar{\´e} : a journal of theoretical and mathematical physics}, volume = {21}, journal = {Annales Henri Poincar{\´e} : a journal of theoretical and mathematical physics}, number = {4}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing AG}, address = {Cham (ZG)}, issn = {1424-0637}, doi = {10.1007/s00023-020-00893-6}, pages = {1191 -- 1233}, year = {2020}, abstract = {When trying to cast the free fermion in the framework of functorial field theory, its chiral anomaly manifests in the fact that it assigns the determinant of the Dirac operator to a top-dimensional closed spin manifold, which is not a number as expected, but an element of a complex line.

The ensemble consists of a number of parallel-running 3D-dynamo simulations. The assimilated data are geomagnetic field snapshots covering the years 1840 to 2000 from the COV-OBS.x1 model and for 2001 to 2020 from the Kalmag model. A spectral covariance localization method, considering the couplings between spherical harmonics of the same equatorial symmetry and same azimuthal wave number, allows decreasing the ensemble size to about a 100 while maintaining the stability of the assimilation. The quality of 5-year predictions is tested for the past two decades. These tests show that the assimilation scheme is able to reconstruct the overall SV evolution. They also suggest that a better 5-year forecast is obtained keeping the SV constant compared to the dynamically evolving SV. However, the quality of the dynamical forecast steadily improves over the full assimilation window (180 years). We therefore propose the instantaneous SV estimate for 2020 from our assimilation as a candidate model for the IGRF-13. The ensemble approach provides uncertainty estimates, which closely match the residual differences with respect to the IGRF-13. Longer term predictions for the evolution of the main magnetic field features over a 50-year range are also presented. We observe the further decrease of the axial dipole at a mean rate of 8 nT/year as well as a deepening and broadening of the South Atlantic Anomaly. The magnetic dip poles are seen to approach an eccentric dipole configuration.}, language = {en} } @article{GarbunoInigoNueskenReich2020, author = {Garbuno-Inigo, Alfredo and N{\"u}sken, Nikolas and Reich, Sebastian}, title = {Affine invariant interacting Langevin dynamics for Bayesian inference}, series = {SIAM journal on applied dynamical systems}, volume = {19}, journal = {SIAM journal on applied dynamical systems}, number = {3}, publisher = {Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {1536-0040}, doi = {10.1137/19M1304891}, pages = {1633 -- 1658}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We propose a computational method (with acronym ALDI) for sampling from a given target distribution based on first-order (overdamped) Langevin dynamics which satisfies the property of affine invariance.

To study such networks, numerous random graph models have been proposed. However, real-world networks are not drawn at random. Therefore, Brach et al. (27th symposium on discrete algorithms (SODA), pp 1306-1325, 2016) introduced two natural deterministic conditions: (1) a power-law upper bound on the degree distribution (PLB-U) and (2) power-law neighborhoods, that is, the degree distribution of neighbors of each vertex is also upper bounded by a power law (PLB-N). They showed that many real-world networks satisfy both properties and exploit them to design faster algorithms for a number of classical graph problems. We complement their work by showing that some well-studied random graph models exhibit both of the mentioned PLB properties. PLB-U and PLB-N hold with high probability for Chung-Lu Random Graphs and Geometric Inhomogeneous Random Graphs and almost surely for Hyperbolic Random Graphs. As a consequence, all results of Brach et al. also hold with high probability or almost surely for those random graph classes. In the second part we study three classical NP-hard optimization problems on PLB networks. It is known that on general graphs with maximum degree Delta, a greedy algorithm, which chooses nodes in the order of their degree, only achieves a Omega (ln Delta)-approximation forMinimum Vertex Cover and Minimum Dominating Set, and a Omega(Delta)-approximation forMaximum Independent Set. We prove that the PLB-U property with beta>2 suffices for the greedy approach to achieve a constant-factor approximation for all three problems. We also show that these problems are APX-hard even if PLB-U, PLB-N, and an additional power-law lower bound on the degree distribution hold. Hence, a PTAS cannot be expected unless P = NP. Furthermore, we prove that all three problems are in MAX SNP if the PLB-U property holds.}, language = {en} } @article{Graeter2020, author = {Gr{\"a}ter, Joachim}, title = {Free division rings of fractions of crossed products of groups with Conradian left-orders}, series = {Forum mathematicum}, volume = {32}, journal = {Forum mathematicum}, number = {3}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0933-7741}, doi = {10.1515/forum-2019-0264}, pages = {739 -- 772}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Let D be a division ring of fractions of a crossed product F[G, eta, alpha], where F is a skew field and G is a group with Conradian left-order <=.

We focus on the efficient discovery of all interesting MDs in real-world datasets. For this purpose, we propose HyMD, a novel MD discovery algorithm that finds all minimal, non-trivial MDs within given similarity boundaries. The algorithm extracts the exact similarity thresholds for the individual MDs from the data instead of using predefined similarity thresholds. For this reason, it is the first approach to solve the MD discovery problem in an exact and truly complete way.

HyMD is technically a hybrid approach that combines the two most popular dependency discovery strategies in related work: lattice traversal and inference from record pairs.

Recent advancements in the field promote the use of multivariable and probabilistic loss models, which consider variables beyond inundation depth and account for prediction uncertainty.

Scarce data and the heterogeneity among companies impede the development of company flood loss models. We present three multivariable flood loss models for companies from the manufacturing, commercial, financial, and service sector that intrinsically quantify prediction uncertainty. Based on object-level loss data (n = 1,306), we comparatively evaluate the predictive capacity of Bayesian networks, Bayesian regression, and random forest in relation to deterministic and probabilistic stage-damage functions, serving as benchmarks. The company loss data stem from four postevent surveys in Germany between 2002 and 2013 and include information on flood intensity, company characteristics, emergency response, private precaution, and resulting loss to building, equipment, and goods and stock. We find that the multivariable probabilistic models successfully identify and reproduce essential relationships of flood damage processes in the data. The assessment of model skill focuses on the precision of the probabilistic predictions and reveals that the candidate models outperform the stage-damage functions, while differences among the proposed models are negligible.

The first-escape dynamics is shown to exhibit exponential tails. We examine the dependence of the escape on the shape parameters, steepness, and height of the arctangent potential. Finally, we explore in detail the behavior of the probability densities of the first-escape time and the last-hitting point.}, language = {en} } @article{ClavierGuoPaychaetal.2020, author = {Clavier, Pierre and Guo, Li and Paycha, Sylvie and Zhang, Bin}, title = {Locality and renormalization: universal properties and integrals on trees}, series = {Journal of mathematical physics}, volume = {61}, journal = {Journal of mathematical physics}, number = {2}, publisher = {American Institute of Physics}, address = {College Park, Md.}, issn = {0022-2488}, doi = {10.1063/1.5116381}, pages = {19}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to build an algebraic framework suited to regularize branched structures emanating from rooted forests and which encodes the locality principle.

Often dynamical systems feature transitions depending on some, often persistent, unobserved background regime, and different regimes may exhibit different causal relations. Here, we assume a persistent and discrete regime variable leading to a finite number of regimes within which we may assume stationary causal relations. To detect regime-dependent causal relations, we combine the conditional independence-based PCMCI method [based on a condition-selection step (PC) followed by the momentary conditional independence (MCI) test] with a regime learning optimization approach. PCMCI allows for causal discovery from high-dimensional and highly correlated time series. Our method, Regime-PCMCI, is evaluated on a number of numerical experiments demonstrating that it can distinguish regimes with different causal directions, time lags, and sign of causal links, as well as changes in the variables' autocorrelation. Furthermore, Regime-PCMCI is employed to observations of El Nino Southern Oscillation and Indian rainfall, demonstrating skill also in real-world datasets.}, language = {en} } @misc{WiljesTong2020, author = {Wiljes, Jana de and Tong, Xin T.}, title = {Analysis of a localised nonlinear ensemble Kalman Bucy filter with complete and accurate observations}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, volume = {33}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {9}, publisher = {IOP Publ.}, address = {Bristol}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-54041}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-540417}, pages = {4752 -- 4782}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Concurrent observation technologies have made high-precision real-time data available in large quantities.

These backscatter signals are often exploited to assess the roughness of plowed agricultural fields and water surfaces, and less so to complex, heterogeneous geological surfaces.

Here, we assess backscatter gradients over a large high-mountain alluvial river in the eastern Central Andes with aerially exposed sand and gravel bedload using X-band TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X, C-band Sentinel-1, and L-band ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 radar scenes. In a first step, we present theory and hypotheses regarding radar response to an alluvial channel bed. We test our hypotheses by comparing backscatter responses over vegetation-free endmember surfaces from inside and outside of the active channel-bed area. We then develop methods to extract smoothed backscatter gradients downstream along the channel using kernel density estimates. In a final step, the local variability of sand-dominated patches is analyzed using Fourier frequency analysis, by fitting stretched-exponential and power-law regression models to the 2-D power spectrum of backscatter amplitude. We find a large range in backscatter depending on the heterogeneity of contiguous smooth- and rough-patches of bedload material. The SAR amplitude signal responds primarily to the fraction of smooth-sand bedload, but is further modified by gravel elements. The sensitivity to gravel is more apparent in longer wavelength L-band radar, whereas C- and X-band is sensitive only to sand variability. Because the spatial extent of smooth sand patches in our study area is typically< 50 m, only higher resolution sensors (e.g., TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X) are useful for power spectrum analysis.

Switching between local and global attention is a general strategy in human information processing. We investigate whether this strategy is a viable approach to model sequences of fixations generated by a human observer in a free viewing task with natural scenes. Variants of the basic model are used to predict the experimental data based on Bayesian inference. Results indicate a high predictive power for both aggregated data and individual differences across observers. The combination of a novel model with state-of-the-art Bayesian methods lends support to our two-state model using local and global internal attention states for controlling eye movements.
Understanding the decision process underlying gaze control is an important question in cognitive neuroscience with applications in diverse fields ranging from psychology to computer vision. The decision for choosing an upcoming saccade target can be framed as a selection process between two states: Should the observer further inspect the information near the current gaze position (local attention) or continue with exploration of other patches of the given scene (global attention)? Here we propose and investigate a mathematical model motivated by switching between these two attentional states during scene viewing. The model is derived from a minimal set of assumptions that generates realistic eye movement behavior. We implemented a Bayesian approach for model parameter inference based on the model's likelihood function. In order to simplify the inference, we applied data augmentation methods that allowed the use of conjugate priors and the construction of an efficient Gibbs sampler. This approach turned out to be numerically efficient and permitted fitting interindividual differences in saccade statistics. Thus, the main contribution of our modeling approach is two-fold; first, we propose a new model for saccade generation in scene viewing. Second, we demonstrate the use of novel methods from Bayesian inference in the field of scan path modeling.}, language = {en} } @article{PornsawadSungcharoenBoeckmann2020, author = {Pornsawad, Pornsarp and Sungcharoen, Parada and B{\"o}ckmann, Christine}, title = {Convergence rate of the modified Landweber method for solving inverse potential problems}, series = {Mathematics : open access journal}, volume = {8}, journal = {Mathematics : open access journal}, number = {4}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2227-7390}, doi = {10.3390/math8040608}, pages = {22}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In this paper, we present the convergence rate analysis of the modified Landweber method under logarithmic source condition for nonlinear ill-posed problems.

Serum concentrations of IFX, antidrug antibodies (ADA), CRP, and disease-related covariates were determined at the mid-term and end of a dosing interval. Data were analysed using a pharmacometric nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach. An IFX exposure-CRP model was generated and applied to evaluate dosing regimens to achieve CRP remission.
Results The generated quantitative model showed that IFX has the potential to inhibit up to 72\% (9\% relative standard error [RSE]) of CRP synthesis in a patient. IFX concentration leading to 90\% of the maximum CRP synthesis inhibition was 18.4 mu g/mL (43\% RSE). Presence of ADA was the most influential factor on IFX exposure. With standard dosing strategy, >= 55\% of ADA+ patients experienced CRP nonremission. Shortening the dosing interval and co-therapy with immunomodulators were found to be the most beneficial strategies to maintain CRP remission.
Conclusions With the generated model we could for the first time establish a robust relationship between IFX exposure and CRP synthesis inhibition, which could be utilised for treatment optimisation in IBD patients.}, language = {en} } @article{KluweMicheletMuellerSchoelletal.2020, author = {Kluwe, Franziska and Michelet, Robin and M{\"u}ller-Sch{\"o}ll, Anna and Maier, Corinna and Klopp-Schulze, Lena and van Dyk, Madele and Mikus, Gerd and Huisinga, Wilhelm and Kloft, Charlotte}, title = {Perspectives on model-informed precision dosing in the digital health era}, series = {Clinical pharmacology \& therapeutics}, volume = {109}, journal = {Clinical pharmacology \& therapeutics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0009-9236}, doi = {10.1002/cpt.2049}, pages = {29 -- 36}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{SharmaHainzlZoelleretal.2020, author = {Sharma, Shubham and Hainzl, Sebastian and Z{\"o}ller, Gert and Holschneider, Matthias}, title = {Is Coulomb stress the best choice for aftershock forecasting?}, series = {Journal of geophysical research : Solid earth}, volume = {125}, journal = {Journal of geophysical research : Solid earth}, number = {9}, publisher = {American Geophysical Union}, address = {Washington}, issn = {2169-9313}, doi = {10.1029/2020JB019553}, pages = {12}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The Coulomb failure stress (CFS) criterion is the most commonly used method for predicting spatial distributions of aftershocks following large earthquakes. However, large uncertainties are always associated with the calculation of Coulomb stress change. The uncertainties mainly arise due to nonunique slip inversions and unknown receiver faults; especially for the latter, results are highly dependent on the choice of the assumed receiver mechanism. Based on binary tests (aftershocks yes/no), recent studies suggest that alternative stress quantities, a distance-slip probabilistic model as well as deep neural network (DNN) approaches, all are superior to CFS with predefined receiver mechanism. To challenge this conclusion, which might have large implications, we use 289 slip inversions from SRCMOD database to calculate more realistic CFS values for a layered half-space and variable receiver mechanisms. We also analyze the effect of the magnitude cutoff, grid size variation, and aftershock duration to verify the use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for the ranking of stress metrics. The observations suggest that introducing a layered half-space does not improve the stress maps and ROC curves. However, results significantly improve for larger aftershocks and shorter time periods but without changing the ranking. We also go beyond binary testing and apply alternative statistics to test the ability to estimate aftershock numbers, which confirm that simple stress metrics perform better than the classic Coulomb failure stress calculations and are also better than the distance-slip probabilistic model.}, language = {en} } @article{DimitrovaKoppitz2020, author = {Dimitrova, Ilinka and Koppitz, J{\"o}rg}, title = {On relative ranks of the semigroup of orientation-preserving transformations on infinite chains}, series = {Asian-European journal of mathematics}, volume = {14}, journal = {Asian-European journal of mathematics}, number = {08}, publisher = {World Scientific}, address = {Singapore}, issn = {1793-5571}, doi = {10.1142/S1793557121501461}, pages = {15}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In this paper, we determine the relative rank of the semigroup OP(X) of all orientation-preserving transformations on infinite chains modulo the semigroup O(X) of all order-preserving transformations.}, language = {en} }
