Geometric, Variational, and Bracket Descriptions of Fluid Motion with Open Boundaries arxiv.org/abs/2409.13800

Geometric, Variational, and Bracket Descriptions of Fluid Motion with Open Boundaries

We develop a Lie group geometric framework for the motion of fluids with permeable boundaries that extends Arnold's geometric description of fluid in closed domains. Our setting is based on the classical Hamilton principle applied to fluid trajectories, appropriately amended to incorporate bulk and boundary forces via a Lagrange-d'Alembert approach, and to take into account only the fluid particles present in the fluid domain at a given time. By applying a reduction by relabelling symmetries, we deduce a variational formulation in the Eulerian description that extends the Euler-Poincaré framework to open fluids. On the Hamiltonian side, our approach yields a bracket formulation that consistently extends the Lie-Poisson bracket of fluid dynamics and contains as a particular case a bulk+boundary bracket formulation proposed earlier. We illustrate the geometric framework with several examples, and also consider the extension of this setting to include multicomponent fluids, the consideration of general advected quantities, the analysis of higher-order fluids, and the incorporation of boundary stresses. Open fluids are found in a wide range of physical systems, including geophysical fluid dynamics, porous media, incompressible flow and magnetohydrodynamics. This new formulation permits a description based on geometric mechanics that can be applied to a broad class of models.

OpenRANet: Neuralized Spectrum Access by Joint Subcarrier and Power Allocation with Optimization-based Deep Learning

The next-generation radio access network (RAN), known as Open RAN, is poised to feature an AI-native interface for wireless cellular networks, including emerging satellite-terrestrial systems, making deep learning integral to its operation. In this paper, we address the nonconvex optimization challenge of joint subcarrier and power allocation in Open RAN, with the objective of minimizing the total power consumption while ensuring users meet their transmission data rate requirements. We propose OpenRANet, an optimization-based deep learning model that integrates machine-learning techniques with iterative optimization algorithms. We start by transforming the original nonconvex problem into convex subproblems through decoupling, variable transformation, and relaxation techniques. These subproblems are then efficiently solved using iterative methods within the standard interference function framework, enabling the derivation of primal-dual solutions. These solutions integrate seamlessly as a convex optimization layer within OpenRANet, enhancing constraint adherence, solution accuracy, and computational efficiency by combining machine learning with convex analysis, as shown in numerical experiments. OpenRANet also serves as a foundation for designing resource-constrained AI-native wireless optimization strategies for broader scenarios like multi-cell systems, satellite-terrestrial networks, and future Open RAN deployments with complex power consumption requirements.

The Asymptotic Behaviour of Information Leakage Metrics arxiv.org/abs/2409.13003 .IT

The Asymptotic Behaviour of Information Leakage Metrics

Information theoretic leakage metrics quantify the amount of information about a private random variable $X$ that is leaked through a correlated revealed variable $Y$. They can be used to evaluate the privacy of a system in which an adversary, from whom we want to keep $X$ private, is given access to $Y$. Global information theoretic leakage metrics quantify the overall amount of information leaked upon observing $Y$, whilst their pointwise counterparts define leakage as a function of the particular realisation $y$ that the adversary sees, and thus can be viewed as random variables. We consider an adversary who observes a large number of independent identically distributed realisations of $Y$. We formalise the essential asymptotic behaviour of an information theoretic leakage metric, considering in turn what this means for pointwise and global metrics. With the resulting requirements in mind, we take an axiomatic approach to defining a set of pointwise leakage metrics, as well as a set of global leakage metrics that are constructed from them. The global set encompasses many known measures including mutual information, Sibson mutual information, Arimoto mutual information, maximal leakage, min entropy leakage, $f$-divergence metrics, and g-leakage. We prove that both sets follow the desired asymptotic behaviour. Finally, we derive composition theorems which quantify the rate of privacy degradation as an adversary is given access to a large number of independent observations of $Y$. It is found that, for both pointwise and global metrics, privacy degrades exponentially with increasing observations for the adversary, at a rate governed by the minimum Chernoff information between distinct conditional channel distributions. This extends the work of Wu et al. (2024), who have previously found this to be true for certain known metrics, including some that fall into our more general set.
