sigma-Functionals are promising new developments for the Kohn-Sham correlation energy based upon the direct Random Phase approximation (dRPA) within the adiabatic connection formalism, providing impressive improvements over dRPA for a broad range of benchmarks. However, sigma-functionals exhibit a high amount of self-interaction inherited from the approximations made within dRPA. Inclusion of an exchange kernel in deriving the coupling-strength-dependent density-density response function leads to so-called tau-functionals, which - apart from a fourth-order Taylor series expansion - have only been realized in an approximate fashion so far to the best of our knowledge, most notably in the form of scaled sigma-functionals. In this work, we derive, optimize, and benchmark three types of sigma- and tau-functionals including approximate exchange effects in the form of an antisymmetrized Hartree kernel. These functionals, based on a second-order screened exchange type contribution in the adiabatic connection formalism, the electron-hole time-dependent Hartree-Fock kernel (eh-TDHF) otherwise known as RPA with exchange (RPAx), and an approximation thereof known as approximate exchange kernel (AXK), are optimized on the ASCDB database using two new parametrizations named A1 and A2. In addition, we report a first full evaluation of sigma- and tau-functionals on the GMTKN55 database, revealing our exchange-including functionals to considerably outperform existing sigma-functionals while being highly competitive with some of the best double-hybrid functionals of the original GMTKN55 publication. In particular, the sigma-functionals based on AXK and tau-functionals based on RPAx with PBE0 reference stand out as highly accurate approaches for a wide variety of chemically relevant problems.

Given a set of n colored points in the plane, we consider the problem of partitioning the underlying space of the points into monochromatic regions using the minimum number of lines. This is a generalized version of the problem of separating non-colored points by lines studied by Har-Peled and Jones in SODA'18. We propose the first approximation algorithm for the problem. Our algorithm returns an O (log n) factor approximation in O (mn2 sigma log n) time, where sigma is the optimal number of lines and m is the number of colors.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Diffusion of information in social network has been the focus of intense research in the recent past decades due to its significant impact in shaping public discourse through group/individual influence. Existing research primarily models influence as a binary property of entities: influenced or not influenced. While this is a useful abstraction, it discards the notion of degree of influence, i.e., certain individuals may be influenced "more" than others. We introduce the notion of attitude, which, as described in social psychology, is the degree by which an entity is influenced by the information. Intuitively, attitude captures the number of distinct neighbors of an entity influencing the latter. We present an information diffusion model (AIC model) that quantifies the degree of influence, i.e., attitude of individuals, in a social network. With this model, we formulate and study attitude maximization problem. We prove that the function for computing attitude is monotonic and sub-modular, and the attitude maximization problem is NP-Hard. We present a greedy algorithm for maximization with an approximation guarantee of (1 - 1/e). In the context of AIC model, we study two problems, with the aim to investigate the scenarios where attaining individuals with high attitude is objectively more important than maximizing the attitude of the entire network. In the first problem, we introduce the notion of actionable attitude;intuitively, individuals with actionable attitude are likely to "act" on their attained attitude. We show that the function for computing actionable attitude, unlike that for computing attitude, is non-submodular and however is approximately submodular. We present approximation algorithm for maximizing actionable attitude in a network. In the second problem, we consider identifying the number of individuals in the network with attitude above a certain value, a threshold. In this context, the function for computing the number of individuals with attitude a

Bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) has been considered among the key technologies to extend recording densities to 1 Tb/in(2) and beyond. However, the BPMR system encounters the challenges of two-dimensional intersymbol interference and track mis-registration (TMR). In this article, we propose a TMR estimator based on the K-means algorithm for estimating the TMR levels and preventing the performance degradation of the BPMR system. The TMR estimator calculates the distances between the centroid of the readback signal and predetermined centroids according to the TMR level. The equalizer coefficients and partial response target are adjusted to the corresponding TMR level. At a bit error rate of 10(-3) and a TMR of 10%, the proposed detection scheme performs better by approximately 1 dB in comparison with the conventional detection.

We present SIMULTANEOUSGREEDYS, a deterministic algorithm for constrained submodular maximization. At a high level, the algorithm maintains l solutions and greedily updates them in a simultaneous fashion. SIMULTANEOUSGREEDYS achieves the tightest known which are (k + 1)2/k = k + O(1) and (1 + root k + 2)2 = k + O( approximation guarantees for both k-extendible systems and the more general k-systems, root k), respectively. We also improve the analysis of REPEATEDGREEDY, showing that it achieves an approximation root root ratio of k+O( k) for k-systems when allowed to run for O( k) iterations, an improvement in both the runtime and approximation over previous analyses. We demonstrate that both algorithms may be modified to run in nearly linear time with an arbitrarily small loss in the approximation. Both SIMULTANEOUSGREEDYS and REPEATEDGREEDY are flexible enough to incor-porate the intersection of m additional knapsack constraints, while retaining similar ap-proximation guarantees: both algorithms yield an approximation guarantee of roughly k + 2m + O(root k + m) for k-systems and SIMULTANEOUSGREEDYS enjoys an improved ap-proximation guarantee of k + 2m + O(root m) for k-extendible systems. To complement our algorithmic contributions, we prove that no algorithm making polynomially many oracle queries can achieve an approximation better than k + 1/2 - epsilon. We also present ***, a Julia package which implements these algorithms. Finally, we test these algorithms on real datasets.

Time-delay estimation is a critical step in many geophysical applications. Conventional approaches are mainly based on the cross correlation of waveforms in time domain but show strong distortions with multiple oscillations and side lobes. We propose a band-limited phase-only correlation (POC) algorithm for time-delay estimation. The algorithm involves the following key steps: 1) transforming 1-D waveform into 2-D time-frequency spectra using S-transform;2) calculating the band-limited POC function of the transformed spectra;and 3) measuring time delays by analyzing POC coefficient. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm using synthetic and real microseismic fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) datasets. Results show that POC can effectively and accurately estimate the time delays of waveforms. Compared with the performance of the conventional cross correlation method in time domain, the proposed method has three main advantages: 1) better identification of event and noise waveforms;2) lower uncertainty of narrow correlation peaks;and 3) weaker distortions with small oscillations and side lobes.

In selfish routing, Braess's paradox demonstrates the counterintuitive fact that removing a part of a network may improve the players' cost at equilibrium. In this work, we use the approximate version of Caratheodory's theorem (Barman, SICOMP 2018) and show how to efficiently approximate the best subnetwork on selfish routing instances with relatively short paths and Lipschitz continuous cost functions. Restriction to networks with short paths is necessary to escape the strong inapproximability result of (Roughgarden, JCSS 2006). We present the first polynomial-time algorithm that approximates (in a certain relaxed sense) the best subnetwork problem on such instances. Specifically, for any constant epsilon > 0, our algorithm computes an epsilon-Nash flow with maximum latency at most (1 + epsilon)L* + epsilon, where L* is the equilibrium latency of the best subnetwork. Moreover, our algorithm runs in quasipolynomial time on networks with polylogarithmically long paths. As a corollary, we obtain the first polynomial-time approximation scheme for the best subnetwork in the class of random Gn,p instances proven prone to Braess's paradox by (Roughgarden and Valiant, RSA 2010) and (Chung Graham et al., RSA 2012).

The p-center problem is finding the location of p facilities among a set of n demand points such that the maximum distance between any demand point and its nearest facility is minimized. In this paper, we study this problem in the context of uncertainty, that is, the location of the demand points may change in a region like a disk or a segment, or belong to a finite set of points. We introduce Max-p-center and Min-p-center problems which are the worst and the best possible solutions for the p-center problem under such locational uncertainty. We propose approximation and parameterized algorithms to solve these problems under the Euclidean metric. Further, we study the MinMax Regret 1-center problem under uncertainty and propose a linear-time algorithm to solve it under the Manhattan metric as well as an O(n4) time algorithm under the Euclidean metric.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

Quantum technology offers a transformative approach to solving complex computational challenges in decentralized systems, particularly in blockchain transaction scheduling. Efficient transaction scheduling is critical in distributed ledger systems, which often face challenges like dynamic transaction loads. This work proposes a novel approach namely Hybrid Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (HQAOA) which combines Multi-Agent QAOA (MA-QAOA) and Adaptive Layer QAOA (AL-QAOA) to provide a robust solution to such issues. HQAOA leverages a decentralized optimization framework where multiple agents, each representing a node in the network, optimize local transaction scheduling while considering global constraints. Additionally, HQAOA adapts to varying transaction loads by dynamically adjusting the number of quantum layers for each agent, ensuring computational efficiency under different conditions. Such dynamic layer adjustment mechanisms mitigate the adverse effects of quantum noise and ensures optimal performance in scenarios with fluctuating transaction loads. In contrast to traditional QAOA, which struggles with noise and scaling issues, HQAOA provides improved performance by balancing the complexity of the problem with available quantum resources. Experimental results signify the future potential of HQAOA to outperform QAOA, particularly in noisy environments and irregular transaction conditions. This work demonstrates the potential of HQAOA to optimize blockchain transaction scheduling in decentralized systems.
