Nevertheless, they have yet to attain widespread use in plants, largely due to plants’ challenging optical properties. Expansion microscopy improves effective resolution by isotropically increasing the physical distances between sample structures while preserving relative spatial arrangements and clearing the sample. However, its application to plants has been hindered by the rigid, mechanically cohesive structure of plant tissues. Here, we report on whole-mount expansion microscopy of thale cress (Arabidopsis thaliana) root tissues (PlantEx), achieving a four-fold resolution increase over conventional microscopy. Our results highlight the microtubule cytoskeleton organization and interaction between molecularly defined cellular constituents. Combining PlantEx with stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, we increase nanoscale resolution and visualize the complex organization of subcellular organelles from intact tissues by example of the densely packed COPI-coated vesicles associated with the Golgi apparatus and put these into a cellular structural context. Our results show that expansion microscopy can be applied to increase effective imaging resolution in Arabidopsis root specimens.

Here we report the results of cryo-electron tomography studies of HTLV-1 virus-like particles assembled in vitro, as well as derived from cells. This work shows that HTLV-1 uses a distinct mechanism of Gag–Gag interactions to form the immature viral lattice. Analysis of high-resolution structural information from immature capsid (CA) tubular arrays reveals that the primary stabilizing component in HTLV-1 is the N-terminal domain of CA. Mutagenesis analysis supports this observation. This distinguishes HTLV-1 from other retroviruses, in which the stabilization is provided primarily by the C-terminal domain of CA. These results provide structural details of the quaternary arrangement of Gag for an immature deltaretrovirus and this helps explain why HTLV-1 particles are morphologically distinct.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1545-9985"],"issn":["1545-9993"]},"title":"Distinct stabilization of the human T cell leukemia virus type 1 immature Gag lattice","file_date_updated":"2025-04-23T07:02:33Z","OA_type":"hybrid","OA_place":"publisher","author":[{"first_name":"Martin","full_name":"Obr, Martin","id":"4741CA5A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-1756-6564","last_name":"Obr"},{"first_name":"Mathias","full_name":"Percipalle, Mathias","last_name":"Percipalle","id":"4986e21c-eb97-11eb-a6c2-a4ef0b629971"},{"first_name":"Darya","full_name":"Chernikova, Darya","id":"7dbaf460-fa9e-11eb-b0ca-bc7c7ff21ad0","last_name":"Chernikova"},{"last_name":"Yang","full_name":"Yang, Huixin","first_name":"Huixin"},{"last_name":"Thader","id":"3A18A7B8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Thader, Andreas","first_name":"Andreas"},{"first_name":"Gergely","full_name":"Pinke, Gergely","id":"4D5303E6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Pinke"},{"full_name":"Porley, Dario J","first_name":"Dario J","last_name":"Porley","id":"2FD6EA6C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Mansky, Louis M.","first_name":"Louis M.","last_name":"Mansky"},{"last_name":"Dick","first_name":"Robert A.","full_name":"Dick, Robert A."},{"orcid":"0000-0003-4790-8078","id":"48AD8942-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Schur","first_name":"Florian KM","full_name":"Schur, Florian KM"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"},{"_id":"LifeSc"},{"_id":"EM-Fac"}],"date_created":"2024-09-08T10:29:06Z","page":"268-276","corr_author":"1","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41594-024-01390-8","supplementarymaterial":"yes","month":"02","quality_controlled":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"Yes (in subscription journal)","publication":"Nature Structural & Molecular Biology","dataavailabilitystatement":"The EM density maps and models for the immature HTLV-1 CA-NTD lattice and representative tomograms were deposited to the EM Data Bank under accession codes EMD-17929, EMD-17930, EMD-17931, EMD-17932, EMD-17933, EMD-17934, EMD-17935, EMD-17936, EMD-17937, EMD-17938, EMD-17939, EMD-17940, EMD-17941, EMD-17942 and EMD-17943 and the PDB under accession codes 8PU6, 8PU7, 8PU8, 8PU9, 8PUA, 8PUB, 8PUC, 8PUD, 8PUE, 8PUF, 8PUG and 8PUH.

A plethora of methods have been developed, each tackling carefully crafted problem settings that lead to different types of identifiability. The folklore is that these different settings are important, as they are often linked to different rungs of Pearl's causal hierarchy, although not all neatly fit. Our main contribution is to show that many existing causal representation learning approaches methodologically align the representation to known data symmetries. Identification of the variables is guided by equivalence classes across different \"data pockets\" that are not necessarily causal. This result suggests important implications, allowing us to unify many existing approaches in a single method that can mix and match different assumptions, including non-causal ones, based on the invariances relevant to our application. It also significantly benefits applicability, which we demonstrate by improving treatment effect estimation on real-world high-dimensional ecological data. Overall, this paper clarifies the role of causality assumptions in the discovery of causal variables and shifts the focus to preserving data symmetries.","lang":"eng"}],"OA_place":"publisher","OA_type":"gold","oa":1,"title":"Unifying causal representation learning with the invariance principle","file_date_updated":"2026-01-27T12:43:25Z"},{"_id":"19704","date_published":"2025-06-12T00:00:00Z","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)"},"doi":"10.1038/s41586-025-08985-1","type":"journal_article","status":"public","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"research_data","id":"18697","status":"public"},{"id":"18677","status":"public","relation":"earlier_version"}],"link":[{"description":"News on ISTA website","url":"https://ista.ac.at/en/news/piecing-together-the-brain-puzzle/","relation":"press_release"}]},"date_updated":"2026-10-02T09:59:44Z","volume":642,"OA_place":"publisher","OA_type":"hybrid","title":"Light-microscopy-based connectomic reconstruction of mammalian brain tissue","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0028-0836"],"eissn":["1476-4687"]},"file_date_updated":"2025-07-03T06:55:20Z","oa":1,"abstract":[{"text":"The information-processing capability of the brain’s cellular network depends on the physical wiring pattern between neurons and their molecular and functional characteristics.

Chapter 3 and 4 review the statistics of records, their connection to models of innovation and an application to the cultural evolution of sports.\r\n\tIn chapter 1 we present a modelling study from 2021 on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2. At that time the vaccine-resistant Omicron variant had not yet evolved. In our model we consider a population that is becoming vaccinated over time, while a pathogen is spreading in the population and eventually becoming resistant to the vaccine. We explore effective pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions to prevent the emergence of vaccine resistance. \r\n\tIn chapter 2 we model a particular set of complex vaccination strategies, mosaic and pyramid vaccination, where an immunologically diverse portfolio of vaccines is considered. We find that a bet-hatching strategy, in which vaccine types are distributed in the population, is effective at hindering the evolution of vaccine resistance if mutation rates are high. \r\n\tIn chapter 3 we switch gears and present a review on the statistics of records. We highlight similarities and analogies to other models in the fields of statistical physics, evolution and innovation. This offers interesting complimentary perspectives on well-known models. \r\n\tIn chapter 4 we apply models of record statistics and innovation to study cultural evolution in sport. We propose a model of sport evolution that combines deterministic improvements in performance and stochastic bursts of improvements due to innovation.

Moreover, thanks to their high impedance, quantum buses made of such materials enable large zero-point fluctuations of the voltage, boosting the coupling rates to spin and charge qubits. However, fully exploiting the potential of disordered or granular superconductors is challenging, as their inductance and, therefore, impedance at high values are difficult to control. Here, we report a reproducible fabrication of granular aluminium resonators by developing a wireless ohmmeter, which allows in situ measurements during film deposition and, therefore, control of the kinetic inductance of granular aluminium films. Reproducible fabrication of circuits with impedances (inductances) exceeding 13 kΩ (1 nH per square) is now possible. By integrating a 7.9 kΩ resonator with a germanium double quantum dot, we demonstrate strong charge-photon coupling with a rate of gc/2π = 566 ± 2 MHz. This broadly applicable method opens the path for novel qubits and high-fidelity, long-distance two-qubit gates."}],"external_id":{"pmid":["40025007"],"arxiv":["2407.03079"],"isi":["001434774800001"]},"APC_amount":"7068 EUR","year":"2025","intvolume":"        16","ec_funded":1,"DOAJ_listed":"1","file":[{"date_updated":"2025-03-17T10:53:32Z","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2025-03-17T10:53:32Z","checksum":"a9383dd978ca2c50b7dded6c0bb2cd49","file_id":"19415","file_name":"2025_NatureComm_Janik.pdf","success":1,"creator":"dernst","file_size":6364878,"content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file"}],"arxiv":1,"citation":{"chicago":"Janik, Marian, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Carla N Borja Espinosa, Oliver Sagi, Abdulhamid Baghdadi, Thomas Adletzberger, Stefano Calcaterra, et al. “Strong Charge-Photon Coupling in Planar Germanium Enabled by Granular Aluminium Superinductors.” <i>Nature Communications</i>.

Such deformations\r\neither preserve the intrinsic material geometry (e.g., folding paper) or modify it through\r\nlocalized contraction. Once transformed, the 3D shape can be further controlled to achieve a\r\ntarget functionality. A key challenge is to take the material specifications and the actuation\r\nprocess as input to automatically design the target 3D shape and its functionality. This thesis\r\npresents two novel computational pipelines for the design and control of shape-morphing\r\nstructures used to create functional prototypes.\r\nThe first pipeline borrows from the art of origami to fold paper into intricate shapes and\r\napplies this principle to make 3D lighting displays. We introduce, PCBend a computational\r\ndesign approach that covers a surface with individually addressable RGB LEDs, effectively\r\nforming a low-resolution surface by folding rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs). We optimize\r\ncut patterns on PCBs to act as hinges and co-design LED placement, circuit routing, and\r\nfabrication constraints to produce PCB blueprints. The PCBs are fabricated using automated\r\nstandard manufacturing services with LEDs embedded on them. Finally, the fabricated PCBs\r\nare cut along the contour and folded onto a 3D-printed support. The 3D lighting display is\r\nthen controlled to display complex surface light patterns.\r\nCreating 3D shapes through folding is only possible if their planar configuration, called ”unfolding” exists without any distortion or overlap. Existing methods often permit distortion\r\nor require multiple patches, which are unsuitable for fabrication pipelines that rely on folding\r\nnon-stretchable materials. We reinforce such fabrication pipelines by providing a geometric\r\nrelaxation to the problem, where the input shape is modified to admit overlap-free unfolding.\r\nThe second fabrication pipeline extends shape morphing to soft robotics by emulating nature’s\r\nblueprint of distributed actuation. Inspired by vertebrates, we build musculoskeletal robots\r\nusing modular active actuators, employing Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) as shrinkable\r\nartificial muscles integrated with 3D-printed bones. The chemical composition of LCEs is\r\naltered to enable untethered actuation through infrared radiation, allowing active control of\r\nindividual muscles and their corresponding bones. The combined motion of individual bones\r\ndefines the robot’s overall shape and functionality.

For example, tiny perturbations, often imperceptible to\r\nthe human eye, can completely change the predictions of image classifiers. Despite a decade\r\nof research, the field has made limited progress in developing image classifiers that are both\r\naccurate and robust. This thesis aims to address this gap.\r\nAs our first contribution, we aim to simplify the process of training certifiably robust image\r\nclassifiers. We do this by designing a convolutional layer that does not require executing an\r\niterative procedure in every forward pass, but relies on an explicit bound instead. We also\r\npropose a loss function that allows optimizing for a particular margin more precisely.\r\nNext, we provide an overview and comparison of various methods that create robust image\r\nclassifiers by constraining the Lipschitz constant. This is important since generally longer\r\ntraining times and more parameters improve the performance of robust classifiers, making it\r\nchallenging to determine the most practical and effective methods from existing literature.\r\nIn 1-Lipschitz classification, the performance of current methods is still much worse than what\r\nwe expect on the simple tasks we consider. Therefore, we next investigate potential causes of\r\nthis shortcoming. We first consider the role of the activation function. We prove a theoretical\r\nshortcoming of the commonly used activation function, and provide an alternative without it.\r\nHowever this theoretical improvement does barely translate to the empirical performance of\r\nrobust classifiers, suggesting a different bottleneck.\r\nTherefore, in the final chapter, we study how the performance depends on the amount of\r\ntraining data. We prove that in the worst case, we might require far more data to train a\r\nrobust classifier compared to a normal one. We furthermore find that the amount of training\r\ndata is a key determinant of the performance current methods achieve on popular datasets.\r\nAdditionally, we show that linear subspaces exist with tiny data variance, and yet we can\r\nstill train very accurate classifiers after projecting into those subspaces. This shows that on\r\nthe datasets considered, enforcing robustness in classification makes the task strictly more\r\nchallenging.\r\n\r\n"}],"title":"Robust image classification with 1-Lipschitz networks","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"file_date_updated":"2025-06-10T18:14:03Z","oa":1,"OA_place":"publisher"},{"citation":{"chicago":"Prach, Bernd, and Christoph Lampert. “Intriguing Properties of Robust Classification.” In <i>2025 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops</i>, 660–69.

Previous works often argued that this might be because no classifier exists that is robust and accurate at the same time. However, in computer vision this assumption does not match reality where humans are usually accurate and robust on most tasks of interest. We offer an alternative explanation and show that in certain settings robust generalization is only possible with unrealistically large amounts of data. Specifically, we find a setting where a robust classifier exists, it is easy to learn an accurate classifier, yet it requires an exponential amount of data to learn a robust classifier. Based on this theoretical result, we evaluate the influence of the amount of training data on datasets such as CIFAR10. Our findings indicate that the the amount of training data is the main factor determining the robust performance. Furthermore we show that that there are low magnitude directions in the data which are useful for non-robust generalization but are not available for robust classifiers. This implies that robust classification is a strictly harder tasks than normal classification, thereby providing an explanation why robust classification requires more data."}],"OA_place":"repository","OA_type":"green","oa":1,"title":"Intriguing properties of robust classification","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9798331599942"],"eissn":["2160-7516"],"issn":["2160-7508"]},"doi":"10.1109/CVPRW67362.2025.00071","date_published":"2025-06-15T00:00:00Z","_id":"20455","date_updated":"2026-10-02T11:15:42Z","type":"conference","status":"public","related_material":{"record":[{"id":"18874","status":"public","relation":"earlier_version"}]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Preprint","article_processing_charge":"No","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CVPRW67362.2025.00071","quality_controlled":"1","month":"06","author":[{"full_name":"Prach, Bernd","first_name":"Bernd","id":"2D561D42-C427-11E9-89B4-9C1AE6697425","last_name":"Prach"},{"id":"40C20FD2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Lampert","orcid":"0000-0001-8622-7887","full_name":"Lampert, Christoph","first_name":"Christoph"}],"corr_author":"1","date_created":"2025-10-12T22:01:26Z","page":"660-669","day":"15","conference":{"name":"CVPR: Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition","start_date":"2025-06-11","location":"Nashville, TN, United States","end_date":"2025-06-12"},"department":[{"_id":"ChLa"}],"publisher":"IEEE","scopus_import":"1","publication":"2025 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops","publication_status":"published","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"publication_status":"published","ddc":["519","006"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"degree_awarded":"PhD","project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"638176","name":"Big Splash: Efficient Simulation of Natural Phenomena at Extremely Large Scales","_id":"2533E772-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"name":"Computational Discovery of Numerical Algorithms for Animation and Simulation of Natural Phenomena","_id":"34bc2376-11ca-11ed-8bc3-9a3b3961a088","grant_number":"101045083"},{"_id":"266A2E9E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Alpha Shape Theory Extended","grant_number":"788183","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"grant_number":"638176","call_identifier":"H2020","_id":"2533E772-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Big Splash: Efficient Simulation of Natural Phenomena at Extremely Large Scales"},{"grant_number":"I02979-N35","call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"2561EBF4-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Persistence and stability of geometric complexes"}],"acknowledgement":"The project in Chapter 2 has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 638176.

While each of these projects tackles a topic in a different area of research, they all share a common thread in the type of topological structure they handle - a partition of space into volumes separated by interfaces that meet in non-manifold junctions.\r\n\r\nIn Chapter 2, we study clusters of soap bubbles from a simulation perspective. In particular, we develop a surface-only algorithm that couples large scale motion and shape deformation of soap bubble clusters with the small scale evolution of the thin film's thickness, which is responsible for visual phenomena like surface vortices, Newton's interference patterns, capillary waves, and deformation-dependent rupturing of films in a foam. We model film thickness as a reduced degree of freedom in the Navier-Stokes equations and from them derive three sets of equations governing normal and tangential motion of the soap film surface, as well as the evolution of the thin film thickness. We discretize these equations on a non-manifold triangle mesh, extending and adapting operators to handle complex topology. We also present an incompressible fluid solver for 2.5D films and an advection algorithm for convecting fields across non-manifold surface junctions. Our simulations enhance bubble solvers with additional effects caused by convection, rippling, draining, and evaporation of the thin film.\r\n\r\nIn Chapter 3, we introduce a multi-material non-manifold mesh-based surface tracking algorithm that converts mesh defects, such as overlaps, self-intersections, and inversions into topological changes. Our algorithm generalizes prior work on manifold surface tracking with topological changes: it preserves surface features like mesh-based methods, and it robustly handles topological changes like level set methods. Our method also offers improved efficiency and robustness over the state of the art. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach on a range of examples, including complex soap film simulations, such as those presented in Chapter 2, but with an order of magnitude more interacting bubbles than what we could achieve before, and Boolean unions of non-manifold meshes consisting of millions of triangles.\r\n\r\nLastly, in Chapter 4, we utilize developments in the theory of random geometric complexes facilitated by observations from Discrete Morse theory. We survey the methods and results obtained with this new approach, and discuss some of its shortcomings. We use simulations to illustrate the results and to form conjectures, getting numerical estimates for combinatorial, topological, and geometric properties of weighted and unweighted Delaunay mosaics, their dual Voronoi tessellations, and the Alpha and Wrap complexes contained in the mosaics."}],"year":"2025","ec_funded":1,"file":[{"creator":"cchlebak","content_type":"application/x-zip-compressed","relation":"source_file","file_size":60670543,"checksum":"f00b519c27529daa0c3b2d4102b4fa7b","file_name":"Thesis_source_Heiss_Synak.zip","file_id":"19633","date_updated":"2025-04-30T14:02:25Z","date_created":"2025-04-30T14:02:25Z","access_level":"closed"},{"file_name":"Thesis_PDFA_Heiss_Synak.pdf","file_id":"19634","checksum":"6e40a2fd3b1b881af1385670854a682e","date_created":"2025-04-30T14:02:42Z","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2025-04-30T15:49:16Z","creator":"cchlebak","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":21319043}],"alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"citation":{"chicago":"Synak, Peter. “Methods for Fluid Simulation, Surface Tracking, and Statistics of Non-Manifold Structures.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2025. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-19630\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-19630</a>.","mla":"Synak, Peter. <i>Methods for Fluid Simulation, Surface Tracking, and Statistics of Non-Manifold Structures</i>.

This thesis explores geometric structures and dynamics on this space, with emphasis on their implications for physics, particularly hydrodynamics.\r\n\r\nOur investigation ranges from theoretical studies of infinite-dimensional symplectic and prequantum geometry to numerical computation of the time evolution of shapes. The thesis presents four main contributions.\r\n\r\nIn the first part, we introduce implicit representations of codimension-2 shapes using a class of complex-valued functions, and prove that the space of these implicit representations forms a prequantum bundle over the codimension-2 shape space. This reveals a new geometric interpretation of the canonical symplectic structure on the codimension-2 shape space.\r\n\r\nIn the second part, we use implicit representations to develop a simulation method for the dynamics of space curves. To handle chaotic systems such as vortex filaments in hydrodynamics, we exploit the infinite degrees of freedom, hidden in both the configuration and dynamics of implicit representations.\r\n\r\nIn the third part, we introduce new symplectic structures on the space of space curves, which generalize the only previously known symplectic structure on this space, allowing for new Hamiltonian dynamics of space curves.\r\n\r\nIn the fourth part, we apply a symplectic viewpoint to a differential geometric problem with practical applications. We derive a new area formula for spherical polygons via prequantization.

Our focus lies on proving concentration estimates for resolvents of random matrices, so-called local laws, mostly in the setting of multiple resolvents. These estimates have profound consequences for eigenvector overlaps and thermalization problems. More concretely, we obtain, e.g., the optimal eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) uniformly in the spectrum for Wigner matrices, an optimal lower bound on non-Hermitian eigenvector overlaps, and prethermalization for deformed Wigner matrices.\tIn order to prove our novel multi-resolvent local laws, we develop and devise two main methods, the static Psi-method and the dynamical Zigzag strategy. \r\n\t\r\nIn Part II, we study Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory, the standard mean field microscopic theory of superconductivity. We focus on asymptotic formulas for the characteristic critical temperature and energy gap of a superconductor and prove universality of their ratio in various physical regimes. Additionally, we investigate multi-band superconductors and show that inter-band coupling effects can only enhance the critical temperature. \r\n\t\r\nIn Part III, we study quantum lattice systems. On the one hand, we show a strong version of the local-perturbations-perturb-locally (LPPL) principle for the ground state of weakly interacting quantum spin systems with a uniform on-site gap. On the other hand, we introduce a notion of a local gap and rigorously justify response theory and the Kubo formula under the weakened assumption of a local gap. \r\n\t\r\nAdditionally, we discuss two classes of problems which do not fit into the three main parts of the thesis. These are deformational rigidity of Liouville metrics on the torus and relativistic toy models of particle creation via interior-boundary-conditions (IBCs).

Mathematically, they represent a fundamental class of transformations and symmetries. Unlike spatial displacements, rotational transformations in three-dimensional space  are non-commutative: the result of applying a sequence of rotations depends on the order of these operations. This feature makes the emergent physics that involves rotations rather intricate, but instrumental for studies of highly-interconnected many-body systems. In the presence of an environment, rotational properties of an object change, due to the interaction with particles of the environment. Owing to the complexity of this interaction, it can be engineered to exhibit certain properties of interest. In this Thesis, we examine several scenarios of how the rotational behavior of an impurity can be modified by interactions with its environment."}],"date_created":"2025-02-18T01:41:27Z","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/","page":"86","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"CampIT"},{"_id":"E-Lib"},{"_id":"SSU"}],"corr_author":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"full_name":"Maslov, Mikhail","first_name":"Mikhail","id":"2E65BB0E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Maslov","orcid":"0000-0003-4074-2570"}],"fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.15479/at:ista:19048","month":"02","article_processing_charge":"No","oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","ddc":["539","535","541"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","degree_awarded":"PhD","acknowledgement":"I am grateful to the European Research Council (ERC) [10.3030/801770] and Austrian\r\nScience Fund (FWF) [10.55776/F1004] for funding my research and to the Physical\r\nReview journals for publishing it.

For example, while a boolean property may specify whether a server eventually grants every request it receives, a quantitative one may map each server execution to its average response time. This quantitative view is relatively well-studied in the context of static verification. However, although such properties often appear in practice as performance or robustness measures in a dynamic verification context, a general theoretical framework for their analysis and classification from a monitoring perspective is still missing.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we aim to develop such a framework that takes resource-precision tradeoffs of monitors as a central consideration. We present the first theory of monitorability for quantitative properties where monitors can be naturally approximate and compared regarding their precision and resource use. In particular, we show that additional monitor resources such as registers or states lead to strictly better approximations for some properties. To enable such analyses in a machine-model independent way, we describe an abstract notion of monitors that can be instantiated with concrete models of monitors. Within this framework, we study how abstract monitors behave and identify classes of properties amenable to approximate monitoring with resource-precision considerations. We then extend the boolean safety-liveness dichotomy and safety-progress hierarchy to the quantitative setting with a monitoring perspective. In particular, we prove that every property is the pointwise minimum of a safety property and a liveness property, and properties that are both safe and co-safe can be approximately monitored arbitrarily precisely using only finitely many states. We also study the classes of quantitative properties definable by finite-state quantitative automata and provide algorithms for deciding their safety or liveness as well as their safety-liveness decompositions. Finally, we present the first general-purpose tool for automating the analysis, verification, and monitoring of quantitative automata.\r\n\r\n\r\n"}],"year":"2025","publisher_comment":"In reference to IEEE copyrighted material which is used with permission in this thesis, the IEEE does not\r\nendorse any of ISTA's products or services.

The computational complexity of 0-Ext[μ] has been recently established by Karzanov and by Hirai: if metric μ is {\\em orientable modular} then 0-Ext[μ] can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise 0-Ext[μ] is NP-hard. To prove the tractability part, Hirai developed a theory of discrete convex functions on orientable modular graphs generalizing several known classes of functions in discrete convex analysis, such as L♮-convex functions. We consider a more general version of the problem in which unary functions fi(xi) can additionally have terms of the form cuv;iμ(xi,{u,v}) for {u,v}∈F, where set F⊆(V2) is fixed. We extend the complexity classification above by providing an explicit condition on (μ,F) for the problem to be tractable. In order to prove the tractability part, we generalize Hirai's theory and define a larger class of discrete convex functions. It covers, in particular, another well-known class of functions, namely submodular functions on an integer lattice. Finally, we improve the complexity of Hirai's algorithm for solving 0-Ext on orientable modular graphs.\r\n","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2109.10203"],"isi":["001176563300001"]},"file_date_updated":"2025-04-16T09:36:08Z","title":"Generalized minimum 0-extension problem and discrete convexity","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1436-4646"],"issn":["0025-5610"]},"oa":1,"OA_place":"publisher","OA_type":"hybrid","has_accepted_license":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Martin","full_name":"Dvorak, Martin","orcid":"0000-0001-5293-214X","id":"40ED02A8-C8B4-11E9-A9C0-453BE6697425","last_name":"Dvorak"},{"last_name":"Kolmogorov","id":"3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Vladimir","full_name":"Kolmogorov, Vladimir"}],"page":"279-322","date_created":"2021-09-27T10:48:23Z","corr_author":"1","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10107-024-02064-5","supplementarymaterial":"no","month":"01","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","keyword":["minimum 0-extension problem","metric labeling problem","discrete metric spaces","metric extensions","computational complexity","valued constraint satisfaction problems","discrete convex analysis","L-convex functions"],"oa_version":"Published Version","publication":"Mathematical Programming","ddc":["004"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","publisher":"Springer Nature","day":"01","department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"VlKo"}],"scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"We thank the anonymous reviewers for their careful reading of our manuscript and their many insightful comments and suggestions.
