Patronage as Collaboration. Dante Bini’s Villas in Sardinia

Michela Bonomo

In 1970 on the rugged coast of Costa Paradiso on the Italian island of Sardinia, the encounter between one of the most renowned Italian film directors, Michelangelo Antonioni, and an architect with an engineering vision, Dante Bini, produced a holiday vill ...

Well-posedness Issues For the Half-Wave Maps Equation With Hyperbolic And Spherical Targets

Yang Liu

This thesis is a study of the global well-posedness of the Cauchy problems for half-wave maps from the Minkowski space of dimension n+1 to the 2-dimensional sphere and the hyperbolic plane. The work is mainly based on the results from Krieger-Sire 17' in ...

Shape Models of Lucy Targets (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus from Disk-integrated Photometry

Stephan Hellmich

We use our new light curves, along with historical data, to determine the rotation state, photometric properties, and convex shape models of the targets of the Lucy mission (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus. We determine a retrograde spin for both targets, ...

Comparing the Buckling Strength of Spherical Shells With Dimpled Versus Bumpy Defects

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Arefeh Abbasi, Fani Derveni

We investigate the effect of defect geometry in dictating the sensitivity of the critical buckling conditions of spherical shells under external pressure loading. Specifically, we perform a comparative study between shells containing dimpled (inward) versu ...

Bounded and unbounded cohomology of homeomorphism and diffeomorphism groups

Nicolas Monod

We determine the bounded cohomology of the group of homeomorphisms of certain low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, for the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle and of the closed 2-disc, it is isomorphic to the polynomial ring g ...

On the Maximum Power Density of Implanted Antennas within Simplified Body Phantoms

Anja Skrivervik, Mingxiang Gao

With the application requirements of wireless technology in implantable bioelectronics, knowledge of the fundamental limits for implanted antennas becomes critical. In this work, we investigated the variation of maximum power density within simplified body ...

Perturbed Fourier uniqueness and interpolation results in higher dimensions

Martin Peter Stoller, Joao Pedro Gonçalves Ramos

We obtain new Fourier interpolation and uniqueness results in all dimensions, extending methods and results by the first author and M. Sousa [11] and the second author [12]. We show that the only Schwartz function which, together with its Fourier transform ...

Geometric Percolation of Spherically Symmetric Fractal Aggregates

Claudio Grimaldi

The connectedness percolation threshold (phi(c)) for spherically symmetric, randomly distributed fractal aggregates is investigated as a function of the fractal dimension (d(F)) of the aggregates through a mean-field approach. A pair of aggregates (each of ...

Conjugate heat transfer in isolated granular clusters with interstitial fluid using lattice Boltzmann method

Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

The conjugate heat transfer in mixtures of a fluid and single granular clusters is studied in this paper using a novel lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) programmed for parallel computation on the graphics processing unit (GPU). The LBM is validated for heat c ...

Robust numerical integration on curved polyhedra based on folded decompositions

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Xiaodong Wei

We present a novel method to perform numerical integration over curved polyhedra enclosed by high-order parametric surfaces. Such a polyhedron is first decomposed into a set of triangular and/or rectangular pyramids, whose certain faces correspond to the g ...

Spectral Hypergraph Sparsifiers of Nearly Linear Size

Mikhail Kapralov, Jakab Tardos

Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which optimal bounds on ...

Comment on “Groundwater Affects the Geomorphic and Hydrologic Properties of Coevolved Landscapes” by Litwin et al

Sara Bonetti

The objective of this comment is to correct two sets of statements in Litwin et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JF006239), which consider our research work (Bonetti et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2017.0693; Bonetti et al., 2020, https:// ...

Fourier non-uniqueness sets from totally real number fields

Martin Peter Stoller

Let K be a totally real number field of degree n >= 2. The inverse different of K gives rise to a lattice in Rn. We prove that the space of Schwartz Fourier eigenfunctions on R-n which vanish on the "component-wise square root" of this lattice, is infinite ...

Parametric Estimation For Functional Autoregressive Processes On The Sphere

Alessia Caponera

The aim of this paper is to define a nonlinear least squares estimator for the spectral parameters of a spherical autoregressive process of order 1 in a parametric setting. Furthermore, we investigate on its asymptotic properties, such as weak consistency ...

Fourier uniqueness and interpolation in Euclidean space

Martin Peter Stoller

We prove that every Schwartz function in Euclidean space can be completely recovered given only its restrictions and the restrictions of its Fourier transform to all origin-centered spheres whose radii are square roots of integers. In particular, the only ...

Spherical cap harmonic analysis (SCHA) for characterising the morphology of rough surface patches

Katrin Beyer, Mahmoud S. M. Shaqfa

We use spherical cap harmonic (SCH) basis functions to analyse and reconstruct the morphology of scanned genus-0 rough surface patches with open edges. We first develop a novel one-to-one conformal mapping algorithm with minimal area distortion for paramet ...

Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

Two-dimensional modelling of transient capillary driven damped micro-oscillations and self-alignment of objects in microassembly

François Gallaire

In the fields of microgripping and microassembly, the self-alignment motion of a solid micro-object linked by a liquid meniscus to a substrate or a tool is an inexpensive way to overcome the current limitations of the assembly processes at microscale by ge ...

Fourier Interpolation From Spheres

Martin Peter Stoller

In every dimension d >= 2, we give an explicit formula that expresses the values of any Schwartz function on R-d only in terms of its restrictions, and the restrictions of its Fourier transform, to all origin-centered spheres whose radius is the square roo ...

Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...
