Rotating spokes, potential hump and modulated ionization in radio frequency magnetron discharges

Haomin Sun, Liang Xu

In this work, the transition from the gradient drift instability (GDI) into an m = 1 rotating spoke in the radio frequency magnetron discharge was studied by means of the two-dimensional axial-azimuthal (z - y) particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision method ...

Reducibility bounds of objective functions over the integers

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Kim-Manuel Klein

We study the settings where we are given a separable objective function of n variables defined in a given box of integers. We show that in many cases we can replace the given objective function by a new function with a much smaller domain. Our results appl ...

The hunt for the Karman 'constant' revisited

Peter Monkewitz

The log law of the wall, joining the inner, near-wall mean velocity profile (MVP) in wall-bounded turbulent flows to the outer region, has been a permanent fixture of turbulence research for over hundred years, but there is still no general agreement on th ...

Efficient and Accurate Handling of Periodic Flows in Time-Sensitive Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Seyed Mohammadhossein Tabatabaee

Total Flow Analysis (TFA) is a method for the worst-case analysis of time-sensitive networks. It uses service curve characterizations of the network nodes and arrival curves of flows at their sources; for tractability, the latter are often taken to be line ...

Approximation Algorithms for Allocation and Network Design

Etienne Michel François Bamas

In this thesis, we give new approximation algorithms for some NP-hard problems arising in resource allocation and network design. As a resource allocation problem, we study the Santa Claus problem (also known as the MaxMin Fair Allocation problem) in which ...

Stochastic homogenization of degenerate integral functionals with linear growth

Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We study the limit behaviour of sequences of non-convex, vectorial, random integral functionals, defined on W1,1, whose integrands are ergodic and satisfy degenerate linear growth conditions. The latter involve suitable random, scale-dependent weight-funct ...

Stable parameterization of continuous and piecewise-linear functions

Michaël Unser, Alexis Marie Frederic Goujon, Joaquim Gonçalves Garcia Barreto Campos

Rectified-linear-unit (ReLU) neural networks, which play a prominent role in deep learning, generate continuous and piecewise-linear (CPWL) functions. While they provide a powerful parametric representation, the mapping between the parameter and function s ...

An element-based formulation for ES-FEM and FS-FEM models for implementation in standard solid mechanics finite element codes for 2D and 3D static analysis

Slah Drira

Edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (ES-FEM and FS-FEM, respectively) are modified versions of the finite element method allowing to achieve more accurate results and to reduce sensitivity to mesh distortion, at least for linear eleme ...

Proximal Point Imitation Learning

Volkan Cevher, Luca Viano, Igor Krawczuk

This work develops new algorithms with rigorous efficiency guarantees for infinite horizon imitation learning (IL) with linear function approximation without restrictive coherence assumptions. We begin with the minimax formulation of the problem and then o ...

Latest findings on the behaviour factor q for the seismic design of URM buildings

Katrin Beyer

Recent earthquakes as the 2012 Emilia earthquake sequence showed that recently built unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings behaved much better than expected and sustained, despite the maximum PGA values ranged between 0.20-0.30 g, either minor damage or str ...

A hierarchical preconditioner for wave problems in quasilinear complexity

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Boris Bonev

The paper introduces a novel, hierarchical preconditioner based on nested dissection and hierarchical matrix compression. The preconditioner is intended for continuous and discontinuous Galerkin formulations of elliptic problems. We exploit the property th ...

Apparent diffusion coefficient measured by diffusion MRI of moving and deforming domains

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

The modeling of the diffusion MRI signal from moving and deforming organs such as the heart is challenging due to significant motion and deformation of the imaged medium during the signal acquisition. Recently, a mathematical formulation of the Bloch-Torre ...

Towards an Algebraic Network Information Theory: Distributed Lossy Computation of Linear Functions

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Adriano Pastore, Chen Feng

Consider the important special case of the K-user distributed source coding problem where the decoder only wishes to recover one or more linear combinations of the sources. The work of Körner and Marton demonstrated that, in some cases, the optimal rate re ...

Heat-driven spin torques in antiferromagnets

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Marcin Bialek

A heat-driven magnetization damping, that is a linear function of a temperature gradient, is predicted in antiferromagnets by considering the sublattice dynamics subjected to a heat-driven spin torque. This points to the possibility of achieving a spin tor ...

Range-based underwater target localization using an autonomous surface vehicle: Observability analysis

In the field of marine robotics, the problem of range based underwater target localization can be defined as that of localizing an unknown - fixed or moving - target from a surface vehicle called the tracker, using range information available about the tar ...

Plasma shaping effects on tokamak scrape-off layer turbulence

Paolo Ricci, Sébastien Jolliet, Emmanuel Lanti, Fabio Riva

The impact of plasma shaping on tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) turbulence is investigated. The drift-reduced Braginskii equations are written for arbitrary magnetic geometries, and an analytical equilibrium model is used to introduce the dependence of turb ...

Dynamics of falling films on the outside of a vertical rotating cylinder: waves, rivulets and dripping transitions

François Gallaire, Nicolas Igor Jacques Kofman

Falling liquid films on the underside of a plate or on the outside of a rotating cylinder are subject to a destabilizing body force. The evolution of the film topology is determined by interactions between the Kapitza and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, l ...

Biomass Modelling: estimating thermodynamic properties from the elemental composition

François Maréchal, Emanuela Peduzzi

In the context of modelling biomass conversion processes, the accurate representation of biomass, which is a complex and highly variable material, is of crucial importance. This study provides a rather simple and flexible way to represent biomass, especial ...
