Stabilized isogeometric discretizations on trimmed and union geometries, and weak imposition of the boundary conditions for the Darcy flow

Riccardo Puppi

Modern manufacturing engineering is based on a ``design-through-analysis'' workflow. According to this paradigm, a prototype is first designed with Computer-aided-design (CAD) software and then finalized by simulating its physical behavior, which usually i ...

A Künneth theorem for configuration spaces

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

We construct a spectral sequence converging to the homology of the ordered configuration spaces of a product of parallelizable manifolds. To identify the second page of this spectral sequence, we introduce a version of the Boardman-Vogt tensor product for ...

Model order reduction based on functional rational approximants for parametric PDEs with meromorphic structure

Davide Pradovera

Many engineering fields rely on frequency-domain dynamical systems for the mathematical modeling of physical (electrical/mechanical/etc.) structures. With the growing need for more accurate and reliable results, the computational burden incurred by frequen ...

Realizability of planar point embeddings from angle measurements

Majed El Helou, Adam James Scholefield, Frederike Dümbgen

Localization of a set of nodes is an important and a thoroughly researched problem in robotics and sensor networks. This paper is concerned with the theory of localization from inner-angle measurements. We focus on the challenging case where no anchor loca ...

Nonlinear states and dynamics in a synthetic frequency dimension

Tobias Kippenberg, Alexey Tikan, Aleksandr Tusnin

Recent advances in the study of synthetic dimensions revealed a possibility to employ the frequency space as an additional degree of freedom which allows for investigating and exploiting higher-dimensional phenomena in a priori low-dimensional systems. How ...

Cross-sections of line configurations in R-3 and (d-2)-flat configurations in R-d

Andres Jacinto Ruiz Vargas

We consider sets L = {l(1),..., l(n)} of n labeled lines in general position in R-3, and study the order types of point sets {p(1),..., p(n)} that stem from the intersections of the lines in L with (directed) planes Pi, not parallel to any line of L, that ...

Structure of a dense release produced by varying initial conditions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Jessica Zordan

Buoyancy driven flows such as gravity currents, present in nature and human made applications, are conveyors of particles or dissolved substances for long distances with clear implications for the environment. This transport depends on the triggering condi ...

Computational development of the nanoporous materials genome

Berend Smit, Peter George Boyd, Yongjin Lee

There is currently a push towards big data and data mining in materials research to accelerate discovery. Zeolites, metal-organic frameworks and other related crystalline porous materials are not immune to this phenomenon, as evidenced by the proliferation ...

Investigations of the non-adiabatic photophysics of Cu(I)-phenanthroline complexes

Gloria Capano

Cu(I)-phenanthrolines are an important class of metal-organic molecules that exhibits much promise for solar energy harvesting and solar-driven catalysis applications. Although many experimental studies have been performed calling for high-level simulation ...

Measuring Symmetry, Asymmetry and Randomness in Neural Network Connectivity

Michele Giugliano

Cognitive functions are stored in the connectome, the wiring diagram of the brain, which exhibits non-random features, so-called motifs. In this work, we focus on bidirectional, symmetric motifs, i.e. two neurons that project to each other via connections ...

Hypergraph Clustering for Better Network Traffic Inspection

Boi Faltings, Li Pu

Networked computing environments are subject to configuration errors, unauthorized users, undesired activities and attacks by malicious software. These can be detected by monitoring network traffic, but network administrators are overwhelmed by the amount ...

High quality superconducting NbN thin films on GaAs

Alessandro Surrente, Francis Lévy

A very promising way to increase the detection efficiency of nanowire superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) consists in integrating them with advanced optical structures such as distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) and optical waveguides. This req ...

Effects of Motion and Configural Complexity on Color Transparency Perception

Sabine Süsstrunk, Peggy Gerardin

We tested whether motion and configural complexity affect perceived transparency. A series of five coherent chromatic transformations in color space was applied across a figure: translation, convergence, shear, divergence and rotation. The stimuli consiste ...

On Average Throughput Benefits and Alphabet Size in Network Coding

Christina Fragouli

We examine the throughput benefits that network coding offers with respect to the average through- put achievable by routing, where the average throughput refers to the average of the rates that the indi- vidual receivers experience. We relate these benefi ...

On the Throughput Improvement due to Limited Complexity Processing at Relay Nodes

Christina Fragouli

We consider a source that transmits information to a receiver by routing it over a communication network represented by a graph and examine rate benefits that finite complexity processing at the intermediate nodes may offer. We show that there exist config ...

Configural and perceptual factors influencing the perception of color transparency

Peggy Gerardin

The mechanisms by which the brain represents colors are largely unknown. In addition, the large number of color phenomena in the natural world has made understanding color rather difficult. Color transparency perception, which is studied in this thesis, is ...
