A Reuse-Ready Timber Slab-and-Column System for Modular Building Structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Jonas Warmuth, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos, Alex-Manuel Muresan

The construction industry is a significant contributor to resource consumption and waste generation. To address this issue, component reuse has been proposed as a way to prevent valuable building elements from being discarded and avoid producing new ones. ...

Energy Bounds For A Fourth-Order Equation In Low Dimensions Related To Wave Maps

Tobias Johannes Schmid

For compact, isometrically embedded Riemannian manifolds N -> R-L, we introduce a fourth-order version of the wave maps equation. By energy estimates, we prove an a priori estimate for smooth local solutions in the energy subcritical dimension n = 1, 2. Th ...

Yapa: Accelerated Proximal Algorithm For Convex Composite Problems

Mireille El Gheche

Proximal splitting methods are standard tools for nonsmooth optimization. While primal-dual methods have become very popular in the last decade for their flexibility, primal methods may still be preferred for two reasons: acceleration schemes are more effe ...

Semi-discrete optimal transport: a solution procedure for the unsquared Euclidean distance case

Valentin Hartmann

We consider the problem of finding an optimal transport plan between an absolutely continuous measure and a finitely supported measure of the same total mass when the transport cost is the unsquared Euclidean distance. We may think of this problem as close ...

A hierarchical approach to the a posteriori error estimation of isogeometric Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Love shells

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Luca Coradello

This work focuses on the development of a posteriori error estimates for fourth-order, elliptic, partial differential equations. In particular, we propose a novel algorithm to steer an adaptive simulation in the context of Kirchhoff plates and Kirchhoff–Lo ...

Scalable Stochastic Optimization: Scenario Reduction with Guarantees

Kilian Schindler

Stochastic optimization is a popular modeling paradigm for decision-making under uncertainty and has a wide spectrum of applications in management science, economics and engineering. However, the stochastic optimization models one faces in practice are int ...

Distributionally Robust Mechanism Design

Daniel Kuhn, Wolfram Wiesemann, Cagil Kocyigit

We study a mechanism design problem where an indivisible good is auctioned to multiple bidders, for each of whom it has a private value that is unknown to the seller and the other bidders. The agents perceive the ensemble of all bidder values as a random v ...

Distributional Robustness in Mechanism Design

Cagil Kocyigit

Mechanism design theory examines the design of allocation mechanisms or incentive systems involving multiple rational but self-interested agents and plays a central role in many societally important problems in economics. In mechanism design problems, agen ...

Strong convergence of multivariate maxima

Simone Padoan, Stefano Rizzelli

It is well known and readily seen that the maximum of n independent and uniformly on [0, 1] distributed random variables, suitably standardised, converges in total variation distance, as n increases, to the standard negative exponential distribution. We ex ...

A Complexity Analysis Approach for Model-based System Engineering

Dimitrios Kyritsis, Jinzhi Lu

With the increasing complexity of the highly engineered products, Model-based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is proposed to support the complexity management of the product development. As the basic of complexity management, complexity analysis is used to meas ...

Optimal Spline Generators for Derivative Sampling

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad

The goal of derivative sampling is to reconstruct a signal from the samples of the function and of its first-order derivative. In this paper, we consider this problem over a shift-invariant reconstruction subspace generated by two compact-support functions ...

Extensive amenability and an application to interval exchanges

Nicolas Monod, Nicolas Matte Bon

Extensive amenability is a property of group actions which has recently been used as a tool to prove amenability of groups. We study this property and prove that it is preserved under a very general construction of semidirect products. As an application, w ...

Designing Gabor windows using convex optimization

Nathanaël Perraudin

Redundant Gabor frames admit an infinite number of dual frames, yet only the canonical dual Gabor system, constructed from the minimal l(2)-norm dual window, is widely used. This window function however, might lack desirable properties, e. g. good time-fre ...

A Smooth Primal-Dual Optimization Framework for Nonsmooth Composite Convex Minimization

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh

We propose a new and low per-iteration complexity first-order primal-dual optimization framework for a convex optimization template with broad applications. Our analysis relies on a novel combination of three classic ideas applied to the primal-dual gap fu ...

Existence of solutions to a non-variational singular elliptic system with unbounded weights

Linda Maria De Cave

In this paper we prove an existence result for the following singular elliptic system {z > 0 in Omega, z is an element of W-0(iota,p)(Omega) : -Delta(p)z = a(x)z(q-iota)u(theta) , u > 0 in Omega, u is an element of W-0(iota,p)(Omega) : -Delta(p)u = b(x)z(q ...

Combinatorial Penalties: Which structures are preserved by convex relaxations?

Volkan Cevher, Marwa El Halabi

We consider the homogeneous and the non-homogeneous convex relaxations for combinatorial penalty functions defined on support sets. Our study identifies key differences in the tightness of the resulting relaxations through the notion of the lower combinato ...

How close are the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the sample and actual covariance matrices?

Andreas Loukas

How many samples are sufficient to guarantee that the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix are close to those of the actual covariance matrix? For a wide family of distributions, including distributions with finite second moment and ...

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 ...

New Moduli For Banach Spaces

Grigory Ivanov

Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, for example, as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasiorthogonality). These triangles have two ...

Optimized Kaiser-Bessel Window Functions for Computed Tomography

Michaël Unser, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, John Paul Ward, Masih Nilchian

Kaiser-Bessel window functions are frequently used to discretize tomographic problems because they have two desirable properties: 1) their short support leads to a low computational cost and 2) their rotational symmetry makes their imaging transform indepe ...
