Co-Design Optimisation of Morphing Topology and Control of Winged Drones

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest

The design and control of winged aircraft and drones is an iterative process aimed at identifying a compromise of mission-specific costs and constraints. When agility is required, shape-shifting (morphing) drones represent an efficient solution. However, m ...

Conditional Flatness, Fiberwise Localizations, And Admissible Reflections

Jérôme Scherer

We extend the group-theoretic notion of conditional flatness for a localization functor to any pointed category, and investigate it in the context of homological categories and of semi-abelian categories. In the presence of functorial fiberwise localizatio ...

UNDERGRAD: A Universal Black-Box Optimization Method with Almost Dimension-Free Convergence Rate Guarantees

Volkan Cevher, Kimon Antonakopoulos

Universal methods for optimization are designed to achieve theoretically optimal convergence rates without any prior knowledge of the problem’s regularity parameters or the accurarcy of the gradient oracle employed by the optimizer. In this regard, existin ...

The native oxide skin of liquid metal Ga nanoparticles prevents their rapid coalescence during electrocatalysis

Raffaella Buonsanti, Anna Loiudice, Laia Castilla Amorós, Jan Vávra, Dragos-Constantin Stoian, Valery Okatenko

Liquid metals (LMs) have been used in electrochemistry since the 19th century, but it is only recently that they have emerged as electrocatalysts with unique properties, such as inherent resistance to coke-poisoning, which derives from the dynamic nature o ...

Role of electric currents in the Fano resonances of connected plasmonic structures

Olivier Martin, Marco Riccardi

In this work, we use finite elements simulations to study the far field properties of two plasmonic structures, namely a dipole antenna and a cylinder dimer, connected to a pair of nanorods. We show that electrical, rather than near field, coupling between ...

Local invertibility and sensitivity of atomic structure-feature mappings

Michele Ceriotti, Sergey Pozdnyakov

Background: The increasingly common applications of machine-learning schemes to atomic-scale simulations have triggered efforts to better understand the mathematical properties of the mapping between the Cartesian coordinates of the atoms and the variety o ...

Adaptation in Stochastic Algorithms: From Nonsmooth Optimization to Min-Max Problems and Beyond

Ahmet Alacaoglu

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and randomized coordinate descent (RCD) are two of the workhorses for training modern automated decision systems. Intriguingly, convergence properties of these methods are not well-established as we move away from the spec ...

Unique decomposition of homogeneous languages and application to isothetic regions

Nicolas René Jean Ninin

A language is said to be homogeneous when all its words have the same length. Homogeneous languages thus form a monoid under concatenation. It becomes freely commutative under the simultaneous actions of every permutation group G(n) on the collection of ho ...
