Abstract

This work addresses the problem of locating Road Side Units (RSUs) in vehicular networks with the aim of improving overall traffic efficiency. We propose a heuristic approach for determining the placement of RSUs on a road network, while vehicle dynamics are modeled through a microscopic follow-the-leader interaction in which drivers continuously adapt their speed according to the distance from the vehicle ahead. The RSUs share the collected information among themselves to cooperatively estimate the network state, which is then communicated to vehicles, allowing them to compute their fastest paths. We also assume that not all drivers comply with the provided recommendations, meaning that only a fraction of users follow the suggested routes. Since the aim is to improve network performance while minimizing the number of deployed units, the methodology adopts a nested optimization scheme: an outer module explores the optimal number k of RSUs, while an inner module identifies the best placement configuration for each k. To evaluate the effectiveness and the scalability of the proposed method, we tested two networks with different topologies and sizes. The results show a decrease in Total Travel Time (TTT) compared to the baseline scenario (i.e., without RSUs) of up to 36% on the smaller network and up to 20% on the larger one. Stochastic vehicle origin-destination pairs have also been considered.

Admissible Fourier Lengths, KAM Reducibility, and Spectral Applications

We develop a perturbative KAM reducibility theory for one-frequency $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycles based on an admissible Fourier length $\ell$. The regularity relevant to the iteration is measured by positive adapted Fourier width rather than ordinary smoothness in the Euclidean length $|n|$. The same length governs Fourier decay, truncation and resonance scales, and the arithmetic condition controlling the small divisors. This framework contains the classical analytic and Gevrey settings, while non-monotone choices of $\ell$ allow classical nowhere differentiable Weierstrass-type perturbations and continuous perturbations outside every positive H\"older class. As spectral applications, we obtain purely absolutely continuous spectrum for every phase and $1/2$-H\"older continuity of the integrated density of states for the associated quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators. The Aubry dual has pure point spectrum for Lebesgue almost every dual phase, with eigenfunctions exponentially localized in the metric induced by $\ell$. We also construct nowhere differentiable quasiperiodic potentials with purely absolutely continuous Cantor spectrum.

Dynamics inside the attracting basins of some skew products

Polynomial skew products in $\mathbb{C}^2$ are maps of the form $F(z,w)=(P(z),Q(z,w))$, where $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials. Their local dynamics have been widely investigated. In this paper, we study the global dynamics inside Fatou components of some skew products. We consider all the inverse images in a Fatou component of a given point and use the Kobayashi metric to measure the distance between points. In the cases we consider, there are always arbitrarily large Kobayashi balls in the complement of these inverse sets.

Ergodicity of dynamical systems without uniqueness of orbits

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the study of non-deterministic dynamical systems. To analyze the chaotic behavior of such systems from a measure-theoretic viewpoint, it is desirable to consider ergodicity. However, the classical definition of ergodicity involves invariant sets, whose definition is not unique for non-deterministic dynamical systems. Thus, we are led to the question of which invariance yields an interesting definition of ergodicity. Here, we propose a definition based on the strong backward invariance and show that analogs of classical results hold. We also consider implications of the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for systems without uniqueness of orbits.
