Solar energy has seen tremendous advances in the past years. For thin film photovoltaics, which use less of the expensive semiconductor materials, insufficient light absorption can be a limiting factor. It is hoped that by using diffractive optics to impro ...
A proof for the point-wise convergence of the factors in the higher-order power method for tensors towards a critical point is given. It is obtained by applying established results from the theory of Lojasiewicz inequalities to the equivalent, unconstraine ...
We investigate the nonsmooth and nonconvex L1 -Potts functional in discrete and continuous time. We show Γ-convergence of discrete L1 -Potts functionals toward their continuous counterpart and obtain a convergence statement for the corr ...
We report the first observation of B-0 -> X(3872)(K+pi(-)) and evidence for B+ -> X(3872)(K-0 pi(+)). We measure the product of branching fractions for the former to be B(B-0 -> X(3872)(K+pi(-)) x B(X(3872) -> J/psi pi(+)pi(-)) = (7.9 +/- 1.3(stat) +/- 0.4 ...
A new method for the design of fixed-structure dynamic output-feedback Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controllers for discrete-time LPV systems with bounded scheduling parameter variations is presented. Sufficient conditions for the stability, $\mathscr{H} ...
The MBI (maximum block improvement) method is a greedy approach to solving optimization problems where the decision variables can be grouped into a finite number of blocks. Assuming that optimizing over one block of variables while fixing all others is rel ...
