This paper addresses the pressing need for effective k-tips decomposition in dynamic bipartite graphs, a crucial aspect of real-time applications that analyze and mine binary relationship patterns. Recognizing the dynamic nature of these graphs, our study is the first to provide a solution for k-tips decomposition in such evolving environments. We introduce a pioneering projection-based algorithm, coupled with advanced incremental maintenance strategies for edge modifications, tailored specifically for dynamic graphs. This novel approach not only fills a significant gap in the analysis of dynamic bipartite graphs but also substantially enhances the accuracy and timeliness of data-driven decisions in critical areas like public health. Our contributions set a new benchmark in the field, paving the way for more nuanced and responsive analyses in various domains reliant on dynamic data interpretation.

In the k-Diameter-Optimally Augmenting Tree Problem we are given a tree T of n vertices embedded in an unknown metric space. An oracle can report the cost of any edge in constant time, and we want to augment T with k shortcuts to minimize the resulting diameter. When k = 1, O(n log n)-time algorithms exist for paths and trees. We show that o(n(2)) queries cannot provide a better than 10/9-approximation for trees when k >= 3. For any constant epsilon > 0, we design a linear-time (1 + epsilon)-approximation algorithm for paths when k = o(root logn), thus establishing a dichotomy between paths and trees for k >= 3. Our algorithm employs an ad-hoc data structure, which we also use in a linear-time 4approximation algorithm for trees, and to compute the diameter of (possibly non-metric) graphs with n + k - 1 edges in time O (nk log n).

Recent work on dictionary learning with set-atoms has shown benefits in anomaly detection. Instead of viewing an atom as a single vector, these methods allow building sparse representations with atoms taken from a set around a central vector;the set can be a cone or may have a probability distribution associated to it. We propose a method for adaptively adjusting the size of set-atoms in Gaussian and cone dictionary learning. The purpose of the algorithm is to match the atom sizes with their contribution in representing the signals. The proposed algorithm not only decreases the representation error, but also improves anomaly detection, for a class of anomalies called 'dependency'. We obtain better detection performance than state-of-the-art methods.

Given a set P = {p(1), p(2), ... , p(n)} of n points in R-2 and a positive integer k (<= n), we wish to find a subset S of P of size k such that the cost of a subset S, cost(S) = min{d(p, q) | p, q is an element of S}, is maximized, where d(p, q) is the Euclidean distance between two points p and q. The problem is called the max-min k-dispersion problem. In this article, we consider the max-min k-dispersion problem, where a given set P of n points are vertices of a convex polygon. We refer to this variant of the problem as the convex k-dispersion problem. We propose an 1.733-factor approximation algorithm for the convex k-dispersion problem. In addition, we study the convex k-dispersion problem for k = 4. We propose an iterative algorithm that returns an optimal solution of size 4 in O(n(3)) time.

Distributed optimization over a network of agents is ubiquitous in applications such as power system, robotics and statistical learning. In many settings, the communication network is directed, i.e., the communication links between agents are unidirectional. While several variations of gradient-descent-based primal methods have been proposed for distributed optimization over directed networks, an extension of dual-ascent methods to directed networks remains a less-explored area. In this paper, we propose a distributed version of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) with linear updates for directed networks using balancing weights, called BW-DADMM (Balancing Weights Directed ADMM). We show that if the objective function of the minimization problem is smooth and strongly convex, then BW-DADMM achieves a geometric rate of convergence to the optimal point. Our algorithm exploits the robustness inherent to ADMM by not enforcing accurate consensus, thereby significantly improving the convergence rate. We illustrate this by numerical examples, where we compare the performance of BW-DADMM with that of state-of-the-art ADMM methods over directed graphs.

This study aims to overcome a problem in the position tracking control of flexible-joint robots: realizing good position tracking for desired signal while conserving bandwidth and minimizing cost. The primary obstacle is that the weight update laws developed through the reinforcement learning (RL) scheme fail to guarantee a bounded quantized signal. Hence, an optimal controller is designed based on the bounded effect of the proposed fuzzy basis function, with the signal discontinuity problem caused by the quantized virtual controller addressed via command filter technique. Meanwhile, an adaptive law is designed to replace the model identification, allowing it to handle unknown structure impacts and reduce approximation behaviors. Besides, we establish an improved compensation signal to maintain boundedness via a first-order low-pass filter. Notably, the developed scheme guarantees boundedness of all signals. Finally, the justification of the proposed scheme can be further confirmed by the simulation and the comparison experiment on Quanser hardware experiment platform, which shows that the developed technology can achieve desired tracking performance.

Modern wireless systems face interference due to rising spectrum efficiency demands and increasingly aggressive network designs. Despite its optimality, the huge complexity of the maximum likelihood (ML) detection hinders its deployment in the future wireless communication systems, which require low latency and high energy efficiency. In this paper, we develop a novel generalized framework for data detection in interference channels. In particular, we factorize the joint likelihood function of the transmitted symbols to obtain the marginal distribution of a single symbol following the sum-product (SP) algorithm. Motivated by the fact that the complexity of the SP algorithm is dominated by the summation process, we introduce Gaussian and Gaussian mixture models to reduce the state space of symbols, which helps to reduce the detection complexity. The proposed hybrid detection framework consists of three kinds of symbol distributions, i.e., original discrete, Gaussian, and Gaussian mixture distributions. To strike a balance between complexity and error performance, we can simply modify the components of different symbol distributions, offering high flexibility in practical applications. Furthermore, we analyze the performance of our proposed detection scheme and discuss the design guidelines for the mixture Gaussian messages. Simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Virtual machine (VM) cross-cloud migration involves relocating virtual machine instances between different cloud environments, offering advantages such as improved scalability, disaster recovery capabilities, and efficient resource allocation optimization. Two strategies exist for live migration: "pre-copy" and "post-copy". These methods are initially applied to memory migration, but their drawbacks, such as data redundancy and poor virtual machine IO performance are amplified in cross-cloud disk migration due to high network latency, limited transmission bandwidth, and large data volumes, thereby constraining the performance of cross-cloud virtual machine migration. To reduce the performance impact caused by the latency of cross-cloud migration, we present StriPre in this paper. StriPre is a prefetching algorithm based on disk access and striped feature design, leveraging the alternating characteristics of disk accesses and performing striping recognition on IO requests. Compared to the commonly used sequential prefetching in memory, StriPre's prefetch hit rate has increased by 1.2x to 2.2x. Our experiments have demonstrated that StriPre can effectively reduce the virtual machine startup time during cross-cloud disk migration. Under extreme cross-cloud latency of 160ms, StriPre can shorten the startup time by 3.48x compared to sequential prefetching.

Division, square root, and remainder are fundamental operations required by most computer systems. Floating-point and integer operations are commonly performed on separate datapaths. This paper presents the first detailed implementation of a shared recurrence unit that supports floating-point division/square root and integer division/remainder. It supports early termination and shares the normalization shifter needed for integer and subnormal inputs. Synthesis results show that shared double-precision dividers producing at least 4 bits per cycle are 9 - 18% smaller and 3 - 16% faster than separate integer and floating-point units.
