AbstractIn a recent paper, topological spaces $(X,{\it\tau})$ that are fragmented by a metric that generates the discrete topology were investigated. In the present paper we shall continue this investigation. In particular, we will show, among other things, that such spaces are ${\it\sigma}$-scattered, that is, a countable union of scattered spaces, and characterise the continuous images of separable metrisable spaces by their fragmentability properties.

Abstract:
We study dynamical systems that have bounded complexity with respect to three kinds metrics: the Bowen metric $d_{n}$, the max-mean metric $\hat{d}_{n}$ and the mean metric $\bar{d}_{n}$, both in topological dynamics and ergodic theory. It is shown that a topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ has bounded complexity with respect to $d_{n}$ (respectively $\hat{d}_{n}$) if and only if it is equicontinuous (respectively equicontinuous in the mean). However, we construct minimal systems that have bounded complexity with respect to $\bar{d}_{n}$ but that are not equicontinuous in the mean. It turns out that an invariant measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ on $(X,T)$ has bounded complexity with respect to $d_{n}$ if and only if $(X,T)$ is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-equicontinuous. Meanwhile, it is shown that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\hat{d}_{n}$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ has bounded complexity with respect to $\bar{d}_{n}$, if and only if $(X,T)$ is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-mean equicontinuous and if and only if it has discrete spectrum.

Abstract:
The piecewise flat space–time is equipped with a set of edge lengths and vertex coordinates. This defines a piecewise affine coordinate system and a piecewise affine metric in it, the discrete analogue of the unique torsion-free metric-compatible affine connection or of the Levi-Civita connection (or of the standard expression of the Christoffel symbols in terms of metric) mentioned in the literature, and, substituting this into the affine connection form of the Regge action of our previous work, we get a second-order form of the action. This can be expanded over metric variations from simplex to simplex. For a particular periodic simplicial structure and coordinates of the vertices, the leading order over metric variations is found to coincide with a certain finite difference form of the Hilbert–Einstein action.

Abstract:
The notion of a partial translation algebra was introduced by Brodzki, Niblo and Wright in [11] to provide an analogue of the reduced group C*-algebra for metric spaces. Such an algebra is constructed from a partial translation structure, a structure which any bounded geometry uniformly discrete metric space admits; we prove that these structures restrict to subspaces and are preserved by uniform bijections, leading to a new proof of an existing theorem. We examine a number of examples of partial translation structures and the algebras they give rise to in detail, in particular studying cases where two different algebras may be associated with the same metric space. We introduce the notion of a map between partial translation structures and use this to describe when a map of metric spaces gives rise to a homomorphism of related partial translation algebras. Using this homomorphism, we construct a C*-algebra extension for subspaces of groups, which we employ to compute K-theory for the algebra arising from a particular subspace of the integers. We also examine a way to form a groupoid from a partial translation structure, and prove that in the case of a discrete group the associated C*-algebra is the same as the reduced group C*-algebra. In addition to this we present several subsidiary results relating to partial translations and cotranslations and the operators these give rise to.

Abstract:
Spherical, Euclidean, and hyperbolic simplices can be characterized by the dihedral angles on their codimension-two faces. These characterizations analyze the Gram matrix, a matrix with entries given by cosines of dihedral angles. Hyperideal hyperbolic simplices are non-compact generalizations of hyperbolic simplices wherein the vertices lie outside hyperbolic space. We extend recent characterization results to include fully general hyperideal simplices. Our analysis utilizes the Gram matrix, however we use inversive distances instead of dihedral angles to accommodate fully general hyperideal simplices.For two-dimensional triangulations, an angle structure is an assignment of three face angles to each triangle. An angle structure permits a globally consistent scaling provided the faces can be simultaneously scaled so that any two contiguous faces assign the same length to their common edge. We show that a class of symmetric Euclidean angle structures permits globally consistent scalings. We develop a notion of virtual scaling to accommodate spherical and hyperbolic triangles of differing curvatures and show that a class of symmetric spherical and hyperbolic angle structures permit globally consistent virtual scalings.The double tetrahedron is a triangulation of the three-sphere obtained by gluing two congruent tetrahedra along their boundaries. The pentachoron is a triangulation of the three-sphere obtained from the boundary of the 4-simplex. As piecewise flat manifolds, the geometries of the double tetrahedron and pentachoron are determined by edge lengths that gives rise to a notion of a metric. We study notions of Einstein metrics on the double tetrahedron and pentachoron. Our analysis utilizes Regge's Einstein-Hilbert functional, a piecewise flat analogue of the Einstein-Hilbert (or total scalar curvature) functional on Riemannian manifolds.A notion of conformal structure on a two dimensional piecewise flat manifold is given by a set of edge constants wherein edge lengths are calculated from the edge constants and vertex based parameters. A conformal variation is a smooth one parameter family of the vertex parameters. The analysis of conformal variations often involves the study of degenerating triangles, where a face angle approaches zero. We show for a conformal variation that remains weighted Delaunay, if the conformal parameters are bounded then no triangle degenerations can occur.

<p>This PhD thesis, consisting of an introduction, four papers, and some supplementary results, studies the problem of finding an <i>optimal realization</i> of a given finite metric space: a weighted graph which preserves the metric's distances and has minimal total edge weight. This problem is known to be NP-hard, and solutions are not necessarily unique.</p><p>It has been conjectured that <i>extremally weighted</i> optimal realizations may be found as subgraphs of the <i>hereditarily optimal realization</i> Γ<sub>d</sub>, a graph which in general has a higher total edge weight than the optimal realization but has the advantages of being unique, and possible to construct explicitly via the <i>tight span</i> of the metric.</p><p>In Paper I, we prove that the graph Γ<sub>d</sub> is equivalent to the 1-skeleton of the tight span precisely when the metric considered is <i>totally split-decomposable</i>. For the subset of totally split-decomposable metrics known as <i>consistent</i> metrics this implies that Γ<sub>d</sub> is isomorphic to the easily constructed <i>Buneman graph</i>.</p><p>In Paper II, we show that for any metric on at most five points, any optimal realization can be found as a subgraph of Γ<sub>d</sub>.</p><p>In Paper III we provide a series of counterexamples; metrics for which there exist extremally weighted optimal realizations which are not subgraphs of Γ<sub>d</sub>. However, for these examples there also exists at least one optimal realization which is a subgraph.</p><p>Finally, Paper IV examines a weakened conjecture suggested by the above counterexamples: can we always find some optimal realization as a subgraph in Γ<sub>d</sub>? Defining <i>extremal</i> optimal realizations as those having the maximum possible number of shortest paths, we prove that any embedding of the vertices of an extremal optimal realization into Γ<sub>d</sub> is injective. Moreover, we prove that this weakened conjecture holds for the subset of consistent metrics which have a 2-dimensional tight span</p>

Abstract:
Cette thèse est construite autour de deux types d'estimation de l'état d'un système, traités séparément. Le premier problème abordé concerne la construction d'observateurs positifs basés sur la métrique de Hilbert. Le second traite de la synthèse d'observateurs par intervalles pour différentes familles de systèmes dynamiques et la construction de lois de commande robustes qui stabilisent ces systèmes.Un système positif est un système dont les variables d'état sont toujours positives ou nulles lorsque celles-ci ont des conditions initiales qui le sont. Les systèmes positifs apparaissent souvent de façon naturelle dans des applications pratiques où les variables d'état représentent des quantités qui n'ont pas de signification si elles ont des valeurs négatives. Dans ce contexte, il parait naturel de rechercher des observateurs fournissant des estimées elles aussi positives ou nulles. Dans un premier temps, notre contribution réside dans la mise au point d'une nouvelle méthode de construction d'observateurs positifs sur l'orthant positif. L'analyse de convergence est basée sur la métrique de Hilbert. L'avantage concurrentiel de notre méthode est que la vitesse de convergence peut être contrôlée.Notre étude concernant la synthèse d'observateurs par intervalles est basée sur la théorie des systèmes dynamiques positifs. Les observateurs par intervalles constituent un type d'observateurs très particuliers. Ce sont des outils développés depuis moins de 15 ans seulement : ils trouvent leur origine dans les travaux de Gouzé et al. en 2000 et se développent très rapidement dans de nombreuses directions. Un observateur par intervalles consiste en un système dynamique auxiliaire fournissant un intervalle dans lequel se trouve l'état, en considérant que l'on connait des bornes pour la condition initiale et pour les quantités incertaines. Les observateurs par intervalles donnent la possibilité de considérer le cas où des perturbations importantes sont présentes et fournissent certaines informations à tout instant<br>This thesis presents new results in the field of state estimation based on the theory of positive systems. It is composed of two separate parts. The first one studies the problem of positive observer design for positive systems. The second one which deals with robust state estimation through the design of interval observers, is at the core of our work.We begin our thesis by proposing the design of a nonlinear positive observer for discrete-time positive time-varying linear systems based on the use of generalized polar coordinates in the positive orthant. For positive systems, a natural requirement is that the observers should provide state estimates that are also non-negative so they can be given a physical meaning at all times. The idea underlying the method is that first, the direction of the true state is correctly estimated in the projective space thanks to the Hilbert metric and then very mild assumptions on the output map allow to reconstruct the norm of the state. The convergence rate can be controlled.Later, the thesis is continued by studying the so-called interval observers for different families of dynamic systems in continuous-time, in discrete-time and also in a context "continuous-discrete" (i.e. a class of continuous-time systems with discrete-time measurements). Interval observers are dynamic extensions giving estimates of the solution of a system in the presence of various type of disturbances through two outputs giving an upper and a lower bound for the solution. Thanks to interval observers, one can construct control laws which stabilize the considered systems

Abstract:
Tires are the most influential component of the vehicle as they constitute the only contact between the vehicle and the road and have to generate and transmit forces necessary for the driver to control the vehicle. The demand for the tire models are increasing due to the need to study the variations of force generation mechanisms due to various variables such as load, pressure, speed, and road surface irregularities. Another need from the vehicle manufactures is the study of potential incompatibilities associated with safety systems such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and tires. For vehicle dynamic simulations pertaining to the design of safety systems such as ABS, ESC and ride controllers, an accurate and computationally efficient tire model is required. As these control algorithms become more advanced, they require accurate and extended validity in the range of frequencies required to cover dynamic response due to short wavelength road disturbances, braking and steering torque variations. Major thrust has been provided by the tire industry to develop simulation models that accurately predict the dynamic response of tires without the use of computationally intensive tools such as FEA. The objectives of this research are • To develop, implement and validate a rigid ring tire model and a simulation tool to assist both tire designers and the automotive industry in analyzing the effects of tire belt vibrations, road disturbances, and high frequency brake and steering torque variations on the handling, braking, and ride performances of the vehicle. • To further enhance the tire model by considering dynamic stiffness changes and temperature dependent friction properties. • To develop, and implement novel control algorithms for braking, stability, and ride performance improvements of the vehicle<br>Ph.

Full text
Abstract:
The selection intensity, the mean change in a trait within a generation expressed in phenotypic standard deviations, provides an important metric for comparing the strength of selection over designs. Further, under truncation selection (only individuals above some threshold leave offspring), the selection intensity is a function of the fraction saved, and hence the breeder's equation is often expressed in terms of the selection intensity. An important special case of truncation selection is a threshold trait, wherein an individual only expresses a particular phenotype when its underlying liability value exceeds some threshold. This chapter examines selection on such traits, and generalizes this binary-trait setting (with binomial residuals) to other classes of discrete traits, wherein some underling linear model (generating the threshold) is this transformed via a generalized linear mixed model into an observed trait value.

Abstract:
This chapter is the first of a two-chapter sequence looking into the relationship between info-metrics and the more familiar statistical methods of inference, with an emphasis on information-theoretic methods. In this chapter I concentrate on discrete models. The relationship between info-metrics and information-theoretic statistical methods is established via duality theory, which provides a way for specifying all inferential methods as constrained optimization models. Since the objective here is to compare different approaches and philosophies, the analysis and examples are kept simple. A main result is that, for discrete problems, the maximum-likelihood approach is a special case of the info-metrics framework. To show this, I reconstruct the likelihood model as a constrained optimization problem. The relevant diagnostics and statistics are developed and discussed. I conclude the chapter with a detailed summary of the benefits of info-metrics for inference of discrete problems. Two detailed case studies are provided.

Abstract:
What’s valuable? Market competition provides one kind of answer. Competitions offer another. On one side, competition is an ongoing and seemingly endless process of pricings; on the other, competitions are discrete and bounded in time and location, with entry rules, judges, scores, and prizes. This book examines what happens when ever more activities in domains of everyday life are evaluated and experienced in terms of performance metrics. Unlike organized competitions, such systems are ceaseless and without formal entry. Instead of producing resolutions, their scorings create addictions. To understand these developments, this book explores discrete contests (architectural competitions, international music competitions, and world press photo competitions); shows how the continuous updating of rankings is both a device for navigating the social world and an engine of anxiety; and examines the production of such anxiety in settings ranging from the pedagogy of performance in business schools to struggling musicians coping with new performance metrics in online platforms. In the performance society, networks of observation—in which all are performing and keeping score—are entangled with a system of emotionally charged preoccupations with one’s positioning within the rankings. From the bedroom to the boardroom, pharmaceutical companies and management consultants promise enhanced performance. This assemblage of metrics, networks, and their attendant emotional pathologies is herein regarded as the performance complex.

Full text
Abstract:
In this chapter I introduce and quantify prior information and show how to incorporate it into the info-metrics framework. The priors developed arise from fundamental properties of the system, from logical reasoning, or from empirical observations. I start the chapter with the derivation of priors for discrete distributions, which can be handled via the grouping property, and a detailed derivation of surprisal analysis. Constructing priors for continuous distributions is more challenging. That problem is tackled via the method of transformation groups, which is related to the mathematical concept of group theory. That method works for both discrete and continuous functions. The last approaches I discuss are based on empirical information. The close relationship between priors, treatment effects, and score functions is discussed and demonstrated in the last section. Visual illustrations of the theory and numerous theoretical and applied examples are provided.

Abstract:
We study the complexity of equilibrium computation in discrete preference games. These games were introduced by Chierichetti, Kleinberg, and Oren (EC '13, JCSS '18) to model decision-making by agents in a social network that choose a strategy from a finite, discrete set, balancing between their intrinsic preferences for the strategies and their desire to choose a strategy that is `similar' to their neighbours. There are thus two components: a social network with the agents as vertices, and a metric space of strategies. These games are potential games, and hence pure Nash equilibria exist. Since their introduction, a number of papers have studied various aspects of this model, including the social cost at equilibria, and arrival at a consensus. We show that in general, equilibrium computation in discrete preference games is PLS-complete, even in the simple case where each agent has a constant number of neighbours. If the edges in the social network are weighted, then the problem is PLS-complete even if each agent has a constant number of neighbours, the metric space has constant size, and every pair of strategies is at distance 1 or 2. Further, if the social network is directed, modelling asymmetric influence, an equilibrium may not even exist. On the positive side, we show that if the metric space is a tree metric, or is the product of path metrics, then the equilibrium can be computed in polynomial time.
