We examine the problem of state transformations in framework Gaussian thermal resource theory presence catalysts. To this end, we introduce an expedient parametrisation covariance matrices terms principal mode temperatures and asymmetries, consider both weak strong catalytic scenarios. show that catalysts (where final correlations with system are forbidden) useless for single case, they do not ...

The performance of value and policy iteration can be dramatically improved by eliminating redundant or useless backups, and by backing up states in the right order. We study several methods designed to accelerate these iterative solvers, including prioritization, partitioning, and variable reordering. We generate a family of algorithms by combining several of the methods discussed, and present ...

Irrational Emotions "A human being is a bundle of useless passions." John-Paul Sartre, Philosopher " Show me a guy who has feelings, and I'll show you a sucker. " Frank Sinatra, Singer and Movie Star Emotional Wisdom "The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of." Blaise Pascal, Philosopher "Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you."

Software and hardware systems are rapidly increasing in size and complexity. However, with increasing system complexity, the system design process becomes more error-prone. In particular, this is the case for concurrent systems, where subtle bugs may occur because of unexpected thread interleavings. Therefore, approaches to effectively find bugs are required. Currently, the most common approach...
