Adaptive Finite Elements with Large Aspect Ratio. Application to Aluminium Electrolysis

The goal of this work is to use anisotropic adaptive finite elements for the numerical simulation of aluminium electrolysis. The anisotropic adaptive criteria are based on a posteriori error estimates derived for simplified problems. First, we consider an ...

Singular quadratic eigenvalue problems: linearization and weak condition numbers

Daniel Kressner, Ivana Sain Glibic

The numerical solution of singular eigenvalue problems is complicated by the fact that small perturbations of the coefficients may have an arbitrarily bad effect on eigenvalue accuracy. However, it has been known for a long time that such perturbations are ...

A New Analytical Approximation of the Fluid Antenna System Channel

Malek Khammassi

Fluid antenna systems (FAS) are an emerging technology that promises a significant diversity gain even in the smallest spaces. It consists of a freely moving antenna in a small linear space to pick up the strongest received signal. Previous works in the li ...

Data-Driven Behaviour Estimation in Parametric Games

Anna Maria Maddux, Nicolò Pagan

A central question in multi-agent strategic games deals with learning the underlying utilities driving the agents' behaviour. Motivated by the increasing availability of large data-sets, we develop an unifying data-driven technique to estimate agents' util ...

Optimal Matching of Random Parts

Thomas Alois Weber

This paper examines the minimization of the cost for an expected random production output, given an assembly of finished goods from two random inputs, matched in two categories. We describe the optimal input portfolio, first using the standard normal appro ...

An a posteriori error estimator for isogeometric analysis on trimmed geometries

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Trimming consists of cutting away parts of a geometric domain, without reconstructing a global parametrization (meshing). It is a widely used operation in computer-aided design, which generates meshes that are unfitted with the described physical object. T ...

Information Retrieval Under Network Uncertainty: Robust Internet Ranking

Ralf Seifert, Anna Timonina-Farkas

Internet ranking algorithms play a crucial role in information technologies and numerical analysis due to their efficiency in high dimensions and wide range of possible applications, including scientometrics and systemic risk in finance (SinkRank, DebtRank ...

TimeEvolver: A program for time evolution with improved error bound

Sebastian Zell

We present TimeEvolver, a program for computing time evolution in a generic quantum system. It relies on well-known Krylov subspace techniques to tackle the problem of multiplying the exponential of a large sparse matrix iH, where His the Hamiltonian, with ...

A probabilistic finite element method based on random meshes: A posteriori error estimators and Bayesian inverse problems

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Garegnani

We present a novel probabilistic finite element method (FEM) for the solution and uncertainty quantification of elliptic partial differential equations based on random meshes, which we call random mesh FEM (RM-FEM). Our methodology allows to introduce a pr ...

KPC: Learning-Based Model Predictive Control with Deterministic Guarantees

Colin Neil Jones, Yuning Jiang, Emilio Maddalena, Paul Scharnhorst

We propose Kernel Predictive Control (KPC), a learning-based predictive control strategy that enjoys deterministic guarantees of safety. Noise-corrupted samples of the unknown system dynamics are used to learn several models through the formalism of non-pa ...

Probabilistic and Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification of deterministic and stochastic differential equations

Giacomo Garegnani

In this thesis we explore uncertainty quantification of forward and inverse problems involving differential equations. Differential equations are widely employed for modeling natural and social phenomena, with applications in engineering, chemistry, meteor ...

Experimental setup and numerical evaluation of the compression test on thin tiles for masonry timbrel vaults

Savvas Saloustros

Compressive tests on clay tiles used in historical masonry timbrel vaults are hindered by the relatively small thickness of the specimens, resulting in buckling or confinement problems depending on the loading direction. This paper presents an experimental ...

An Effective EMTR-Based High-Impedance Fault Location Method for Transmission Lines

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

This article summarizes the electromagnetic time-reversal (EMTR) technique for fault location, and further numerically validates its effectiveness when the fault impedance is negligible. In addition, a specific EMTR model considering the fault impedance is ...

Single-Sensor EMI Source Localization Using Time Reversal: An Experimental Validation

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Hamidreza Karami, Zhaoyang Wang

The localization of electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources is of high importance in electromagnetic compatibility applications. Recently, a novel localization technique based on the time-reversal cavity (TRC) concept was proposed using only one sensor, ...

Deterministic error bounds for kernel-based learning techniques under bounded noise

Colin Neil Jones, Emilio Maddalena, Paul Scharnhorst

We consider the problem of reconstructing a function from a finite set of noise-corrupted samples. Two kernel algorithms are analyzed, namely kernel ridge regression and epsilon-support vector regression. By assuming the ground-truth function belongs to th ...

Non-Wilson-Fisher kinks of O(N) numerical bootstrap: From the deconfined phase transition to a putative new family of CFTs

Ning Su

It is well established that the O(N) Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of O(N) vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on th ...

Locating Transient Directional Sources in Free Space Based on the Electromagnetic Time Reversal Technique

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

Traditional location methods such as time of arrival and direction of arrival have been widely used to locate transient radiation sources. However, these approaches neglect the directional radiation pattern of the sources. Locating directional sources is a ...
