In this paper, we propose a formal framework for specifying and monitoring rich temporal properties of real-valued signals. We introduce signal first-order logic (SFO) as a specification language that combines first-order logic with linear-real arithmetic and unary function symbols interpreted as piecewise-linear signals. We first show that while the satisfiability problem for SFO is undecidable, its membership and monitoring problems are decidable. We develop an offline monitoring procedure for SFO that has polynomial complexity in the size of the input trace and the specification, for a fixed number of quantifiers and function symbols. We show that the algorithm has computation time linear in the size of the input trace for the important fragment of bounded-response specifications interpreted over input traces with finite variability. We can use our results to extend signal temporal logic with first-order quantifiers over time and value parameters, while preserving its efficient monitoring. We finally demonstrate the practical appeal of our logic through a case study in the micro-electronics domain."}],"date_published":"2018-09-30T00:00:00Z","date_updated":"2025-07-10T11:53:06Z","publication":"2018 International Conference on Embedded Software","author":[{"full_name":"Bakhirkin, Alexey","last_name":"Bakhirkin","first_name":"Alexey"},{"last_name":"Ferrere","orcid":"0000-0001-5199-3143","first_name":"Thomas","full_name":"Ferrere, Thomas","id":"40960E6E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Henzinger","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","first_name":"Thomas A","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A"},{"full_name":"Nickovicl, Deian","first_name":"Deian","last_name":"Nickovicl"}],"status":"public","page":"1-10","file":[{"file_id":"7839","file_name":"2018_EMSOFT_Bakhirkin.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":338006,"access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2020-05-14T16:01:29Z","creator":"dernst","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:13Z","checksum":"234a33ad9055b3458fcdda6af251b33a","relation":"main_file"}],"ddc":["000"],"month":"09","doi":"10.1109/emsoft.2018.8537203","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","_id":"5959","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:13Z","date_created":"2019-02-13T09:19:28Z","isi":1,"project":[{"_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"},{"grant_number":"Z211","call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25F42A32-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Formal methods for the design and analysis of complex systems"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"conference","oa":1,"day":"30","external_id":{"isi":["000492828500005"]},"publisher":"IEEE","year":"2018","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"ToHe"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781538655603"]},"title":"Keynote: The first-order logic of signals","article_processing_charge":"No"},{"date_updated":"2023-09-19T10:41:59Z","intvolume":"        37","citation":{"ama":"Rohou S, Franek P, Aubry C, Jaulin L.

The loop closure detection is one of the key points in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) methods, especially in homogeneous environments with difficult scenes recognitions. The proposed approach is generic and could be coupled with conventional SLAM algorithms to reliably reduce their computing burden, thus improving the localization and mapping processes in the most challenging environments such as unexplored underwater extents. To prove that a robot performed a loop whatever the uncertainties in its evolution, we employ the notion of topological degree that originates in the field of differential topology. We show that a verification tool based on the topological degree is an optimal method for proving robot loops. This is demonstrated both on datasets from real missions involving autonomous underwater vehicles and by a mathematical discussion."}],"date_published":"2018-10-24T00:00:00Z","page":"1500-1516","month":"10","volume":37,"issue":"12","publication":"The International Journal of Robotics Research","status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Rohou","first_name":"Simon","full_name":"Rohou, Simon"},{"first_name":"Peter","orcid":"0000-0001-8878-8397","last_name":"Franek","id":"473294AE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Franek, Peter"},{"last_name":"Aubry","first_name":"Clément","full_name":"Aubry, Clément"},{"first_name":"Luc","last_name":"Jaulin","full_name":"Jaulin, Luc"}],"isi":1,"date_created":"2019-02-13T09:36:20Z","quality_controlled":"1","_id":"5960","oa_version":"Preprint","scopus_import":"1","doi":"10.1177/0278364918808367","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"arxiv":1,"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1741-3176"],"issn":["0278-3649"]},"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Proving the existence of loops in robot trajectories","day":"24","external_id":{"isi":["000456881100004"],"arxiv":["1712.01341"]},"oa":1,"type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"UlWa"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.01341","open_access":"1"}],"publication_status":"published","year":"2018","publisher":"SAGE Publications"},{"page":"487-488","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450357951"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"A brief tutorial on distributed and concurrent machine learning","month":"07","type":"conference","external_id":{"isi":["000458186900063"]},"day":"27","publication":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing  - PODC '18","year":"2018","publication_status":"published","publisher":"ACM","department":[{"_id":"DaAl"}],"status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Alistarh","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian"}],"date_created":"2019-02-13T09:48:55Z","isi":1,"date_updated":"2025-06-03T11:56:33Z","quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.1145/3212734.3212798","citation":{"ista":"Alistarh D-A. 2018.

Given the recent practical focus on distributed machine learning, significant work has been dedicated to the convergence properties of this algorithm under the inconsistent and noisy updates arising from execution in a distributed environment. However, surprisingly, the convergence properties of this classic algorithm in the standard shared-memory model are still not well-understood. In this work, we address this gap, and provide new convergence bounds for lock-free concurrent stochastic gradient descent, executing in the classic asynchronous shared memory model, against a strong adaptive adversary. Our results give improved upper and lower bounds on the \"price of asynchrony'' when executing the fundamental SGD algorithm in a concurrent setting. They show that this classic optimization tool can converge faster and with a wider range of parameters than previously known under asynchronous iterations. At the same time, we exhibit a fundamental trade-off between the maximum delay in the system and the rate at which SGD can converge, which governs the set of parameters under which this algorithm can still work efficiently."}],"conference":{"start_date":"2018-07-23","end_date":"2018-07-27","name":"PODC: Principles of Distributed Computing","location":"Egham, United Kingdom"},"month":"07","page":"169-178","status":"public","author":[{"id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","last_name":"Alistarh"},{"first_name":"Christopher","last_name":"De Sa","full_name":"De Sa, Christopher"},{"first_name":"Nikola H","last_name":"Konstantinov","id":"4B9D76E4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Konstantinov, Nikola H"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing  - PODC '18"},{"citation":{"ama":"Alistarh D-A, Brown TA, Kopinsky J, Nadiradze G.

A related, applied research strand has studied methods by which certain iterative task-based algorithms can be efficiently parallelized via relaxed concurrent priority schedulers. These allow for high concurrency when inserting and removing tasks, at the cost of executing superfluous work due to the relaxed semantics of the scheduler. In this work, we take a step towards unifying these two research directions, by showing that there exists a family of relaxed priority schedulers that can efficiently and deterministically execute classic iterative algorithms such as greedy maximal independent set (MIS) and matching. Our primary result shows that, given a randomized scheduler with an expected relaxation factor of k in terms of the maximum allowed priority inversions on a task, and any graph on n vertices, the scheduler is able to execute greedy MIS with only an additive factor of \\poly(k) expected additional iterations compared to an exact (but not scalable) scheduler. This counter-intuitive result demonstrates that the overhead of relaxation when computing MIS is not dependent on the input size or structure of the input graph. Experimental results show that this overhead can be clearly offset by the gain in performance due to the highly scalable scheduler. In sum, we present an efficient method to deterministically parallelize iterative sequential algorithms, with provable runtime guarantees in terms of the number of executed tasks to completion.","lang":"eng"}],"conference":{"name":"PODC: Principles of Distributed Computing","location":"Egham, United Kingdom","end_date":"2018-07-27","start_date":"2018-07-23"},"date_published":"2018-07-23T00:00:00Z","date_updated":"2025-06-03T11:56:49Z","publication":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing  - PODC '18","status":"public","author":[{"full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Alistarh","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","first_name":"Dan-Adrian"},{"id":"3569F0A0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Brown, Trevor A","last_name":"Brown","first_name":"Trevor A"},{"full_name":"Kopinsky, Justin","first_name":"Justin","last_name":"Kopinsky"},{"last_name":"Nadiradze","first_name":"Giorgi","full_name":"Nadiradze, Giorgi"}],"page":"377-386","month":"07","doi":"10.1145/3212734.3212756","_id":"5963","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2019-02-13T10:03:25Z","isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","type":"conference","external_id":{"arxiv":["1808.04155"],"isi":["000458186900048"]},"day":"23","oa":1,"year":"2018","publication_status":"published","publisher":"ACM","department":[{"_id":"DaAl"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.04155"}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450357951"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","arxiv":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Relaxed schedulers can efficiently parallelize iterative algorithms"},{"date_published":"2018-07-23T00:00:00Z","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"A standard design pattern found in many concurrent data structures, such as hash tables or ordered containers, is an alternation of parallelizable sections that incur no data conflicts and critical sections that must run sequentially and are protected with locks.

As a preliminary evidence to the affirmative, we describe a simple model that can be used to predict the throughput of coarse-grained lock-based algorithms.

While the standard solution to such conflicts is to immediately abort one of the transactions, some practical systems consider the alternative of delaying conflict resolution for a short interval, which may allow one of the transactions to commit. The challenge in the transactional conflict problem is to choose the optimal length of this delay interval so as to minimize the overall running time penalty for the conflicting transactions. In this paper, we propose a family of optimal online algorithms for the transactional conflict problem. Specifically, we consider variants of this problem which arise in different implementations of transactional systems, namely \"requestor wins'' and \"requestor aborts'' implementations: in the former, the recipient of a coherence request is aborted, whereas in the latter, it is the requestor which has to abort. Both strategies are implemented by real systems. We show that the requestor aborts case can be reduced to a classic instance of the ski rental problem, while the requestor wins case leads to a new version of this classical problem, for which we derive optimal deterministic and randomized algorithms. Moreover, we prove that, under a simplified adversarial model, our algorithms are constant-competitive with the offline optimum in terms of throughput. We validate our algorithmic results empirically through a hardware simulation of hardware transactional memory (HTM), showing that our algorithms can lead to non-trivial performance improvements for classic concurrent data structures."}],"date_updated":"2025-06-03T11:58:22Z","author":[{"full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","last_name":"Alistarh","first_name":"Dan-Adrian"},{"full_name":"Haider, Syed Kamran","first_name":"Syed Kamran","last_name":"Haider"},{"full_name":"Kübler, Raphael","first_name":"Raphael","last_name":"Kübler"},{"last_name":"Nadiradze","first_name":"Giorgi","full_name":"Nadiradze, Giorgi"}],"status":"public","publication":"Proceedings of the 30th on Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures  - SPAA '18","month":"07","page":"383-392"},{"article_processing_charge":"No","title":"The Big Match with a clock and a bit of memory","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9781450358293"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publication_status":"published","year":"2018","publisher":"ACM","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"type":"conference","day":"18","external_id":{"isi":["000492755100020"]},"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2019-02-13T10:31:41Z","isi":1,"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:14Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1145/3219166.3219198","_id":"5967","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Submitted Version","ddc":["000"],"month":"06","page":"149-150","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":302539,"file_id":"7054","file_name":"2018_EC18_Hansen.pdf","checksum":"bb52683e349cfd864f4769a8f38f2798","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2019-11-19T08:24:24Z","access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:14Z","creator":"dernst"}],"status":"public","author":[{"full_name":"Hansen, Kristoffer Arnsfelt","last_name":"Hansen","first_name":"Kristoffer Arnsfelt"},{"last_name":"Ibsen-Jensen","orcid":"0000-0003-4783-0389","first_name":"Rasmus","full_name":"Ibsen-Jensen, Rasmus","id":"3B699956-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Neyman, Abraham","first_name":"Abraham","last_name":"Neyman"}],"publication":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference on Economics and Computation  - EC '18","date_updated":"2025-05-14T11:24:35Z","date_published":"2018-06-18T00:00:00Z","has_accepted_license":"1","abstract":[{"text":"The Big Match is a multi-stage two-player game.

At each step the method picks aflaw present in the current state and goes to a new state according to some prespecified probabilitydistribution (which depends on the current state and the selected flaw).  However, the recent formu-lation is less flexible than the Moser–Tardos method since it requires a specific flaw selection rule,whereas the algorithm of Moser and Tardos allows an arbitrary rule (and thus can potentially beimplemented more efficiently).  We formulate a new “commutativity” condition and prove that it issufficient for an arbitrary rule to work.  It also enables an efficient parallelization under an additionalassumption.  We then show that existing resampling oracles for perfect matchings and permutationsdo satisfy this condition."}],"month":"11","volume":47,"ec_funded":1,"page":"2029-2056","status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Kolmogorov","first_name":"Vladimir","id":"3D50B0BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Kolmogorov, Vladimir"}],"publication":"SIAM Journal on Computing","issue":"6","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"616160","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"25FBA906-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Discrete Optimization in Computer Vision: Theory and Practice"}],"isi":1,"date_created":"2019-02-13T12:59:33Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"_id":"5975","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","doi":"10.1137/16m1093306","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Commutativity in the algorithmic Lovász local lemma","arxiv":1,"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0097-5397"],"eissn":["1095-7111"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"VlKo"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.08547","open_access":"1"}],"publication_status":"published","year":"2018","publisher":"Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics","external_id":{"arxiv":["1506.08547"],"isi":["000453785100001"]},"day":"08","oa":1,"type":"journal_article"},{"doi":"10.1145/3272127.3275076","_id":"5976","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","article_type":"original","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:14Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2019-02-13T13:12:53Z","isi":1,"project":[{"_id":"24F9549A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"MATERIALIZABLE: Intelligent fabrication-oriented Computational Design and Modeling","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"715767"},{"grant_number":"645599","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Soft-bodied intelligence for Manipulation","_id":"25082902-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"_id":"260C2330-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"ISTplus - Postdoctoral Fellowships","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"754411"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","external_id":{"isi":["000455953100064"]},"day":"01","oa":1,"year":"2018","publication_status":"published","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","department":[{"_id":"BeBi"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0730-0301"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"FlexMaps: Computational design of flat flexible shells for shaping 3D objects","has_accepted_license":"1","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"We propose FlexMaps, a novel framework for fabricating smooth shapes out of flat, flexible panels with tailored mechanical properties.

Consequently, in order to argue security, or compose these protocols one has to rely on the general theory that was developed for the purpose of MPC. The pursuit of efficient protocols, however, has resulted in designs that exploit properties pertaining to PSI. In almost all practical applications where a PSI protocol is deployed, it is expected to be executed multiple times, possibly on related inputs. In this work we initiate a dedicated study of PSI in the multi-interaction (MI) setting. In this model a server sets up the common system parameters and executes set-intersection multiple times with potentially different clients. We discuss a few attacks that arise when protocols are naïvely composed in this manner and, accordingly, craft security definitions for the MI setting and study their inter-relation. Finally, we suggest a set of protocols that are MI-secure, at the same time almost as efficient as their parent, stand-alone, protocols.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2018-02-01T00:00:00Z","date_created":"2019-02-13T13:49:41Z","date_updated":"2023-09-19T14:27:59Z","isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","intvolume":"        12"},{"date_published":"2018-12-21T00:00:00Z","citation":{"ieee":"Y.

This mechanism typically results in pyramidal structures, but we demonstrate here that the growth from multiple dislocations results in flower-like structures. Crystallographically textured SnSe2 bulk nanomaterials obtained from the hot pressing of these SnSe2 structures display highly anisotropic charge and heat transport properties and thermoelectric (TE) figures of merit limited by relatively low electrical conductivities. To improve this parameter, SnSe2 NPLs are blended here with metal nanoparticles.

Many GPCRs are classified as orphan receptors because of the limited knowledge on their ligands and coupling to cellular signaling machineries. Here, we engineer a library of 63 chimeric receptors that contain the signaling domains of human orphan and understudied GPCRs functionally linked to the light-sensing domain of rhodopsin. Upon stimulation with visible light, we identify activation of canonical cell signaling pathways, including cAMP-, Ca2+-, MAPK/ERK-, and Rho-dependent pathways, downstream of the engineered receptors. For the human pseudogene GPR33, we resurrect a signaling function that supports its hypothesized role as a pathogen entry site. These results demonstrate that substituting unknown chemical activators with a light switch can reveal information about protein function and provide an optically controlled protein library for exploring the physiology and therapeutic potential of understudied GPCRs.","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Morri, Maurizio, Inmaculada Sanchez-Romero, Alexandra-Madelaine Tichy, Stephanie Kainrath, Elliot J.

These parasitic flatwormsare unique among the common hermaphroditic trematodes as they have separate sexes. This so-called “evolutionary scandal”displays a female heterogametic genetic sex-determination system (ZZ males and ZW females), as well as a pronounced adult sexualdimorphism. These phenotypic differences are determined by a shared set of genes in both sexes, potentially leading to intralocussexual conflicts. To resolve these conflicts in sexually selected traits, molecular mechanisms such as sex-biased gene expression couldoccur, but parent-of-origin gene expression also provides an alternative. In this work we investigated the latter mechanism, that is,genes expressed preferentially from either the maternal or the paternal allele, inSchistosoma mansonispecies. To this end, tran-scriptomes from male and female hybrid adults obtained by strain crosses were sequenced. Strain-specific single nucleotide poly-morphism (SNP) markers allowed us to discriminate the parental origin, while reciprocal crosses helped to differentiate parentalexpression from strain-specific expression. We identified genes containing SNPs expressed in a parent-of-origin manner consistentwith paternal and maternal imprints. Although the majority of the SNPs was identified in mitochondrial and Z-specific loci, theremaining SNPs found in male and female transcriptomes were situated in genes that have the potential to explain sexual differencesin schistosome parasites. Furthermore, we identified and validated four new Z-specific scaffolds."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Parent-of-Origin-Dependent Gene Expression in Male and Female Schistosome Parasites","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1759-6653"]},"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","department":[{"_id":"BeVi"}],"publication_status":"published","year":"2018","publisher":"Oxford University Press","external_id":{"isi":["000429483700013"]},"day":"01","oa":1,"type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","isi":1,"date_created":"2019-02-14T12:13:52Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:15Z","_id":"5989","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","doi":"10.1093/gbe/evy037"},{"type":"journal_article","oa":1,"day":"02","external_id":{"arxiv":["1809.08487"],"isi":["000450232800015"]},"publisher":"Wiley","year":"2018","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"GeKa"}],"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08487","open_access":"1"}],"user_id":"c635000d-4b10-11ee-a964-aac5a93f6ac1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0935-9648"]},"arxiv":1,"title":"Josephson effect in a few-hole quantum dot","article_processing_charge":"No","doi":"10.1002/adma.201802257","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Preprint","_id":"5990","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_created":"2019-02-14T12:14:26Z","isi":1,"quality_controlled":"1","issue":"44","publication":"Advanced Materials","author":[{"first_name":"Joost","last_name":"Ridderbos","full_name":"Ridderbos, Joost"},{"id":"33F94E3C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Brauns, Matthias","last_name":"Brauns","first_name":"Matthias"},{"last_name":"Shen","first_name":"Jie","full_name":"Shen, Jie"},{"last_name":"de Vries","first_name":"Folkert K.","full_name":"de Vries, Folkert K."},{"full_name":"Li, Ang","last_name":"Li","first_name":"Ang"},{"full_name":"Bakkers, Erik P.

Polymerization at the leading edge assembles the actin filament network and generates protrusion force. How this force is supported by the network and how the assembly rate is shared between protrusion and network retrograde flow determines the protrusion rate. We use mathematical modeling to understand experiments changing the F-actin density in lamellipodia of B16-F1 melanoma cells by modulation of Arp2/3 complex activity or knockout of the formins FMNL2 and FMNL3. Cells respond to a reduction of density with a decrease of protrusion velocity, an increase in the ratio of force to filament number, but constant network assembly rate. The relation between protrusion force and tension gradient in the F-actin network and the density dependency of friction, elasticity, and viscosity of the network explain the experimental observations. The formins act as filament nucleators and elongators with differential rates. Modulation of their activity suggests an effect on network assembly rate. Contrary to these expectations, the effect of changes in elongator composition is much weaker than the consequences of the density change. We conclude that the force acting on the leading edge membrane is the force required to drive F-actin network retrograde flow.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","intvolume":"        29","date_updated":"2023-09-19T14:30:23Z","author":[{"last_name":"Dolati","first_name":"Setareh","full_name":"Dolati, Setareh"},{"first_name":"Frieda","last_name":"Kage","full_name":"Kage, Frieda"},{"first_name":"Jan","last_name":"Mueller","full_name":"Mueller, Jan"},{"full_name":"Müsken, Mathias","last_name":"Müsken","first_name":"Mathias"},{"full_name":"Kirchner, Marieluise","first_name":"Marieluise","last_name":"Kirchner"},{"full_name":"Dittmar, Gunnar","last_name":"Dittmar","first_name":"Gunnar"},{"first_name":"Michael K","last_name":"Sixt","orcid":"0000-0002-6620-9179","full_name":"Sixt, Michael K","id":"41E9FBEA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"full_name":"Rottner, Klemens","last_name":"Rottner","first_name":"Klemens"},{"last_name":"Falcke","first_name":"Martin","full_name":"Falcke, Martin"}],"status":"public","publication":"Molecular Biology of the Cell","issue":"22","month":"11","ddc":["570"],"volume":29,"file":[{"date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:47:15Z","creator":"kschuh","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2019-02-14T12:34:29Z","relation":"main_file","checksum":"e98465b4416b3e804c47f40086932af2","file_name":"2018_ASCB_Dolati.pdf","file_id":"5994","file_size":6668971,"content_type":"application/pdf"}],"page":"2674-2686"},{"isi":1,"date_created":"2019-02-14T12:29:10Z","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"P 23499-N23","name":"Modern Graph Algorithmic Techniques in Formal Verification","_id":"2584A770-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"FWF"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"},{"call_identifier":"FP7","name":"Quantitative Graph Games: Theory and Applications","_id":"2581B60A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"279307"},{"grant_number":"291734","call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"25681D80-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"International IST Postdoc Fellowship Programme"}],"scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Submitted Version","_id":"5993","doi":"10.1145/3174800","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"arxiv":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0164-0925"]},"title":"Algorithmic analysis of qualitative and quantitative termination problems for affine probabilistic programs","article_processing_charge":"No","oa":1,"external_id":{"isi":["000434634500003"],"arxiv":["1510.08517"]},"day":"01","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1510.08517"}],"publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","publication_status":"published","year":"2018","date_updated":"2025-04-15T08:12:22Z","intvolume":"        40","citation":{"apa":"Chatterjee, K., Fu, H., Novotný, P., &#38; Hasheminezhad, R.

Thequestions concerned are: qualitative ones that ask (i) whether the program terminates with probability 1(almost-sure termination) and (ii) whether the expected termination time is finite (finite termination); andquantitative ones that ask (i) to approximate the expected termination time (expectation problem) and (ii) tocompute a boundBsuch that the probability not to terminate afterBsteps decreases exponentially (con-centration problem). To solve these questions, we utilize the notion of ranking supermartingales, which isa powerful approach for proving termination of probabilistic programs. In detail, we focus on algorithmicsynthesis of linear ranking-supermartingales over affine probabilistic programs (Apps) with both angelic anddemonic non-determinism. An important subclass of Apps is LRApp which is defined as the class of all Appsover which a linear ranking-supermartingale exists.Our main contributions are as follows. Firstly, we show that the membership problem of LRApp (i) canbe decided in polynomial time for Apps with at most demonic non-determinism, and (ii) isNP-hard and inPSPACEfor Apps with angelic non-determinism. Moreover, theNP-hardness result holds already for Appswithout probability and demonic non-determinism. Secondly, we show that the concentration problem overLRApp can be solved in the same complexity as for the membership problem of LRApp. Finally, we show thatthe expectation problem over LRApp can be solved in2EXPTIMEand isPSPACE-hard even for Apps withoutprobability and non-determinism (i.e., deterministic programs). Our experimental results demonstrate theeffectiveness of our approach to answer the qualitative and quantitative questions over Apps with at mostdemonic non-determinism."}],"date_published":"2018-06-01T00:00:00Z","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"earlier_version","id":"1438"}]},"month":"06","article_number":"7","ec_funded":1,"volume":40,"publication":"ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems","issue":"2","author":[{"orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","last_name":"Chatterjee","first_name":"Krishnendu","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Hongfei","last_name":"Fu","full_name":"Fu, Hongfei","id":"3AAD03D6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Novotný","first_name":"Petr","id":"3CC3B868-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Novotný, Petr"},{"first_name":"Rouzbeh","last_name":"Hasheminezhad","full_name":"Hasheminezhad, Rouzbeh"}],"status":"public"}]
