Sure Almost Global vs. Global Almost Sure Synchronization on the Circle: The Virtues of Stochastic Hybrid Feedback
This paper introduces a stochastic, hybrid algorithm for global almost sure synchronization of two agents evolving on the circle. Recent results on stochastic hybrid systems are exploited and a Lyapunov-based proof of global almost sure synchronization is obtained. The same arguments establish that global almost sure practical synchronization is achieved in the presence of sufficiently small di...
متن کاملOn Almost Sure Convergence without the Radon-nikodym Property
In this paper we obtain almost sure convergence theorems for vectorvalued uniform amarts and C-sequences without assuming the Radon-Nikodym Property. Specifically, it is shown that if a limit exists in a weak sense for these martingale generalizations, then a.s. scalar and strong convergence follow. These results lead to some new versions of the Ito-Nisio theorem. Convergence results for random...
متن کاملAlmost Sure Productivity
We define Almost Sure Productivity (ASP), a probabilistic generalization of the productivity condition for coinductively defined structures. Intuitively, a probabilistic coinductive stream or tree is ASP if it produces infinitely many outputs with probability 1. Formally, we define almost sure productivity using a final coalgebra semantics of programs inspired from Kerstan and König. Then, we i...
متن کاملBeyond Almost-Sure Termination
The aim of this paper is to argue that models in cognitive science based on probabilistic computation should not be restricted to those procedures that almost surely (with probability 1) terminate. There are several reasons to consider nonterminating procedures as candidate components of cognitive models. One theoretical reason is that there is a perfect correspondence between the enumerable se...
متن کاملAlmost Sure Classification of Densities
Let a class F of densities be given. We draw an i.i.d. sample from a density f which may or may not be in F . After every n, one must make a guess whether f ∈ F or not. A class is almost surely discernible if there exists such a sequence of classification rules such that for any f , we make finitely many errors almost surely. In this paper several results are given that allow one to decide whet...
