Rayleigh-Taylor instability under a spherical substrate

Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, François Gallaire, David Minh-Phuc Nguyen

We investigate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a thin viscous film coating the inside of a spherical substrate. The aim of this work is to find and characterize the instability pattern in this spherical geometry. In contrast to the Rayleigh-Taylor insta ...

A Data-Driven Frequency-Domain Approach for Robust Controller Design via Convex Optimization

Achille Nicoletti

The objective of this dissertation is to develop data-driven frequency-domain methods for designing robust controllers through the use of convex optimization algorithms. Many of today's industrial processes are becoming more complex, and modeling accurate ...

Convergence Of Variance-Reduced Learning Under Random Reshuffling

Ali H. Sayed, Bicheng Ying, Kun Yuan

Several useful variance-reduced stochastic gradient algorithms, such as SVRG, SAGA, Finito, and SAG, have been proposed to minimize empirical risks with linear convergence properties to the exact minimizers. The existing convergence results assume uniform ...

Global Identification of Kinetic Parameters via the Extent-based Incremental Approach

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

The identification of reaction kinetics represents the main challenge in building models for reaction systems. The identification task can be performed via either simultaneous model identification (SMI) or incremental model identification (IMI), the latter ...

Two subtle convex nonlocal approximations of the BV-norm

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

Inspired by the BBM formula and by work of G. Leoni and D. Spector, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of two sequences of convex nonlocal functionals (Psi(n)(u)) and (Phi(n)(u)) which converge formally to the BV-norm of u. We show that pointwise convergen ...

Real-Time Optimization Based on Adaptation of Surrogate Models

Dominique Bonvin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Martand Singhal, Timm Faulwasser

Recently, different real-time optimization (RTO) schemes that guarantee feasibility of all RTO iterates and monotonic convergence to the optimal plant operating point have been proposed. However, simulations reveal that these schemes converge very slowly t ...
