3D Smith chart constant quality factor semi-circles contours for positive and negative resistance circuits

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Andrei Müller

The article firstly proves that the constant quality factor (Q) contours for passive circuits, while represented on a 2D Smith chart, form circle arcs on a coaxal circle family. Furthermore, these circle arcs represent semi-circles families in the north he ...

Axially equilibrated displacement-based beam element for simulating the cyclic inelastic behaviour of RC members

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Danilo Tarquini

Distributed plasticity beam elements are commonly used to evaluate limit state demands for performance based analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Strain limits are often preferred to drift limits since they directly relate to damage and are the ...

Ambiguous Joint Chance Constraints under Mean and Dispersion Information

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Grani Adiwena Hanasusanto

We study joint chance constraints where the distribution of the uncertain parameters is only known to belong to an ambiguity set characterized by the mean and support of the uncertainties and by an upper bound on their dispersion. This setting gives rise t ...

Algebraic and topological methods in combinatorics

Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

The present thesis deals with problems arising from discrete mathematics, whose proofs make use of tools from algebraic geometry and topology. The thesis is based on four papers that I have co-authored, three of which have been published in journals, and o ...

On The Number Of Ordinary Conics

Frank de Zeeuw, Adrian Claudiu Valculescu

We prove a lower bound on the number of ordinary conics determined by a finite point set in R-2. An ordinary conic for S subset of R-2 is a conic that is determined by five points of S and contains no other points of S. Wiseman and Wilson proved the Sylves ...

Spatial fringe analysis techniques for multiple phase and phase derivative estimation

Rishikesh Dilip Kulkarni

Analysis of fringe patterns for the accurate estimation of phase and phase derivatives is of crucial importance in optical interferometry as these quantities provide important information on the physical parameters under study. A wide range of applications ...

Toward the correspondence between Q-clouds and sphalerons

Andrey Shkerin

Non-linear classical equations of motion may admit degenerate solutions at fixed charges. Whereas the solutions with lower energies are classically stable, those with larger energies are unstable and are referred to as Q-clouds. We consider a theory in whi ...

Generalized eigenvalue problems with specified eigenvalues

Daniel Kressner

We consider the distance from a (square or rectangular) matrix pencil to the nearest matrix pencil in 2-norm that has a set of specified eigenvalues. We derive a singular value optimization characterization for this problem and illustrate its usefulness fo ...

Collinear contextual suppression in schizophrenic patients

Michael Herzog

Schizophrenic patients show aberrancies of contextual processing over a broad range. Of particular importance are low level contextual deficiencies since they might cause higher level processing deficits. It was previously found that schizophrenic patients ...
