Gathering in the Plane of Location-Aware Robots in the Presence of Spies
Jurek Czyzowicz, Ryan Killick, Evangelos Kranakis +2
A set of mobile robots (represented as points) is distributed in the Cartesian plane. The collection contains an unknown subset of byzantine robots which are indistinguishable from…
Group Evacuation on a Line by Agents with Different Communication Abilities
Jurek Czyzowicz, Ryan Killick, Evangelos Kranakis +5
We consider evacuation of a group of autonomous mobile agents (or robots) from an unknown exit on an infinite line. The agents are initially placed at the origin of the…
Learning what the Higgs boson is mixed with
Ryan Killick, Kunal Kumar, Heather E. Logan
The Standard Model Higgs boson may be mixed with another scalar that does not couple to fermions. The electroweak quantum numbers of such an additional scalar can be determined by…
Energy Consumption of Group Search on a Line
Jurek Czyzowicz, Konstantinos Georgiou, Ryan Killick +6
Consider two robots that start at the origin of the infinite line in search of an exit at an unknown location on the line. The robots can only communicate if they arrive at the sam…
An RF-only ion-funnel for extraction from high-pressure gases
Thomas Brunner, Daniel Fudenberg, Victor Varentsov +74
An RF ion-funnel technique has been developed to extract ions from a high-pressure (10 bar) noble-gas environment into vacuum ( mbar). Detailed simulations have been perfo…
The Bike Sharing Problem
Jurek Czyzowicz, Konstantinos Georgiou, Ryan Killick +5
Assume that autonomous mobile agents and single-agent transportation devices (called {\em bikes}) are initially placed at the left endpoint of the…
