### Supercyclic cosine operator functions generated by shifts. (arXiv:1911.12475v1 [math.FA])

In 2013, Chang and Chen characterized topologically mixing cosine operator functions generated by unilateral and bilateral weighted shifts on $l^p(\mathbb{N})$ and $l^p(\mathbb{Z})$ for $1\leq p<\infty$, respectively and also give sufficient conditions for such cosine operator functions to be topologically transitive. In this paper we characterize the supercyclic behavior of cosine operator functions generated by unilateral…

### On the $q$-Dyson orthogonality problem. (arXiv:1911.12479v1 [math.CO])

By combining the Gessel–Xin method with plethystic substitutions, we obtain a recursion for a symmetric function generalization of the $q$-Dyson constant term identity also known as the Zeilberger–Bressoud $q$-Dyson theorem. This yields a constant term identity which generalizes the non-zero part of Kadell’s orthogonality ex-conjecture and a result of K\'{a}rolyi, Lascoux and Warnaar.

### On the Importance of Opponent Modeling in Auction Markets. (arXiv:1911.12816v1 [q-fin.CP])

The dynamics of financial markets are driven by the interactions between participants, as well as the trading mechanisms and regulatory frameworks that govern these interactions. Decision-makers would rather not ignore the impact of other participants on these dynamics and should employ tools and models that take this into account. To this end, we demonstrate the…

### Augmentation Methods on Monophonic Audio for Instrument Classification in Polyphonic Music. (arXiv:1911.12505v1 [cs.LG])

Instrument classification is one of the fields in Music Information Retrieval (MIR) that has attracted a lot of research interest. However, the majority of that is dealing with monophonic music, while efforts on polyphonic material mainly focus on predominant instrument recognition or multi-instrument recognition for entire tracks. We present an approach for instrument classification in…

### Pricing and hedging short-maturity Asian options in local volatility models. (arXiv:1911.12944v1 [q-fin.MF])

This paper discusses the short-maturity behavior of Asian option prices and hedging portfolios. We consider the risk-neutral valuation and the delta value of the Asian option having a H\”older continuous payoff function in a local volatility model. The main idea of this analysis is that the local volatility model can be approximated by a Gaussian…

### Abnormal source identification for parabolic distributed parameter systems. (arXiv:1911.12534v1 [eess.SY])

Identification of abnormal source hidden in distributed parameter systems (DPSs) belongs to the category of inverse source problems. It is important in industrial applications but seldom studied. In this paper, we make the first attempt to investigate the abnormal spatio-temporal (S-T) source identification for a class of DPSs. An inverse S-T model for abnormal source…

### Optimal and Adaptive Estimation of Extreme Values in the Permuted Monotone Matrix Model. (arXiv:1911.12516v1 [math.ST])

Motivated by applications in metagenomics, we consider the permuted monotone matrix model $Y=\Theta\Pi+Z$, where $Y\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times p}$ is observed, $\Theta\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times p}$ is an unknown signal matrix with monotone rows, $\Pi \in \mathbb{R}^{p\times p}$ is an unknown permutation matrix, and $Z\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times p}$ is the noise matrix. This paper studies the estimation of the extreme…

### A Simple Variational Bayes Detector for Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) Modulation. (arXiv:1911.12538v1 [eess.SP])

The emerging orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation technique has shown its superiority to the current orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, in terms of its capabilities of exploiting full time-frequency diversity and coping with channel dynamics. The optimal maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection is capable of eliminating the negative impacts of the inter-symbol interference…

### Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks for Realistic Pervasive Change Generation in Remote Sensing Imagery. (arXiv:1911.12546v1 [cs.LG])

This paper introduces a new method of generating realistic pervasive changes in the context of evaluating the effectiveness of change detection algorithms in controlled settings. The method, a cycle-consistent adversarial network (CycleGAN), requires low quantities of training data to generate realistic changes. Here we show an application of CycleGAN in creating realistic snow-covered scenes of…

### An Efficient Multi-Domain Framework for Image-to-Image Translation. (arXiv:1911.12552v1 [cs.CV])

Existing approaches have been proposed to tackle unsupervised image-to-image translation in recent years. However, they mainly focus on one-to-one mappings, making it difficult to handle more general and practical problems such as multi-domain translations. To address issues like large cost of training time and resources in translation between any number of domains, we propose a…
