An Accelerated First-Order Method for Non-convex Optimization on Manifolds

Nicolas Boumal, Christopher Arnold Criscitiello

We describe the first gradient methods on Riemannian manifolds to achieve accelerated rates in the non-convex case. Under Lipschitz assumptions on the Riemannian gradient and Hessian of the cost function, these methods find approximate first-order critical ...

Linking a mutation to survival in wild mice

Jeffrey David Jensen, Stefan Jean Laurent, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Matthieu Foll

Adaptive evolution in new or changing environments can be difficult to predict because the functional connections between genotype, phenotype, and fitness are complex. Here, we make these explicit connections by combining field and laboratory experiments i ...

A 3-D Riesz-Covariance Texture Model for Prediction of Nodule Recurrence in Lung CT

Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge

This paper proposes a novel imaging biomarker of lung cancer relapse from 3-D texture analysis of CT images. Three-dimensional morphological nodular tissue properties are described in terms of 3-D Riesz-wavelets. The responses of the latter are aggregated ...

X-Point Effect on Plasma Blob Dynamics

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Fabio Avino

Plasma blob dynamics on the high-field side in the proximity of a magnetic field null (X point) is investigated in TORPEX. A significant acceleration of the blobs towards the X point is observed. Close to the X point the blobs break apart. The E x B drifts ...

Riemannian Optimization for Solving High-Dimensional Problems with Low-Rank Tensor Structure

Michael Maximilian Steinlechner

In this thesis, we present a Riemannian framework for the solution of high-dimensional optimization problems with an underlying low-rank tensor structure. Here, the high-dimensionality refers to the size of the search space, while the cost function is scal ...

Binary Sparse Coding of Convolutive Mixtures for Sound Localization and Separation via Spatialization

Volkan Cevher, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Saeid Haghighatshoar, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We propose a sparse coding approach to address the problem of source-sensor localization and speech reconstruction. This approach relies on designing a dictionary of spatialized signals by projecting the microphone array recordings into the array manifolds ...

Plans for the first plasma operation of Wendelstein 7-X

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is currently under commissioning in preparation for its initial plasma operation phase, operation phase 1.1 (OP1.1). This first phase serves primarily to provide an integral commissioning of all major systems needed for plasma operat ...

The second order pullback equation

Bernard Dacorogna, Olivier Kneuss, Gyula Csató

Let f, g be two closed k-forms over R-n. The pullback equation studies the existence of a diffeomorphism phi : R-n -> R-n such that phi*(g) = f. We prove two types of results. The first one sharpens some of the existing regularity results. The second one d ...

Exact Complex-Wave Reconstruction in Digital Holography

Michaël Unser, Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula

We address the problem of exact complex-wave reconstruction in digital holography. We show that, by confining the object-wave modulation to one quadrant of the frequency domain, and by maintaining a reference-wave intensity higher than that of the object, ...

Low-rank tensor Krylov subspace methods for parametrized linear systems

Daniel Kressner, Christine Tobler

We consider linear systems A(alpha)x(alpha) - b(alpha) depending on possibly many parameters alpha = (alpha(1), ... , alpha(p)). Solving these systems simultaneously for a standard discretization of the parameter range would require a computational effort ...

L'équation de rappel

Olivier Kneuss

In this thesis we are interested in the following problem : given two differential k–forms g and f, most of the time they will be assumed closed, on what conditions can we pullback g to f by a map φ ? In other words we ask when it is possible to solve the ...

Metastable supersymmetry breaking in N=2 non-linear sigma-models

Claudio Scrucca

We perform a general study of the issue of metastability for supersymmetry-breaking vacua in theories with N=1 and N=2 global supersymmetry. This problem turns out to capture all the important qualitative features of the corresponding question in theories ...

Shift-Invariant Spaces from Rotation-Covariant Functions

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu

We consider shift-invariant multiresolution spaces generated by rotation-covariant functions ρ in

Snowflake Divertor Plasmas on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Richard Pitts, Antoine Pochelon, Jean-Marc Moret, Ivo Furno, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Costanza Zucca, Francesco Piras, Attila Bencze

Starting from a standard single null X-point configuration, a second order null divertor (snowflake (SF)) has been successfully created on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) tokamak. The magnetic properties of this innovative configuration have bee ...

Deformation transfer for detail-preserving surface editing

Mark Pauly

Recent detail-preserving shape deformation techniques are either based on a combination of multiresolution decomposition and variational bending energy minimization, or they manipulate differential coordinates and solve a Poisson system to obtain the defor ...

Transformations in distributed computations and applications to set agreement

Bastian Pochon

In a distributed application, high-availability of a critical online service is ensured despite failures by duplicating the vital components of the server. Whilst guaranteeing the access to the server at all times, duplication requires particular care, so ...
