Subharmonic parametric instability in nearly brimful circular cylinders: a weakly nonlinear analysis

François Gallaire, Francesco Viola, Alessandro Bongarzone

In labscale Faraday experiments, meniscus waves respond harmonically to small-amplitude forcing without threshold, hence potentially cloaking the instability onset of parametric waves. Their suppression can be achieved by imposing a contact line pinned at ...

Global Frobenius liftability I

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo p(2)-we expect that such varieties, after a finite stale cover, admit a toric fibration over an ordinary abelian v ...

Surface textures suppress viscoelastic braking on soft substrates

John Martin Kolinski, Martin Louis Francis Coux

A gravity-driven droplet will rapidly flow down an inclined substrate, resisted only by stresses inside the liquid. If the substrate is compliant, with an elastic modulus G < 100 kPa, the droplet will markedly slow as a consequence of viscoelastic braking. ...

Motivic and p-adic Localization Phenomena

Dimitri Stelio Wyss

In this thesis we compute motivic classes of hypertoric varieties, Nakajima quiver varieties and open de Rham spaces in a certain localization of the Grothendieck ring of varieties. Furthermore we study the

On the accurate computation of the true contact-area in mechanical contact of random rough surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

We introduce a corrective function to compensate errors in contact area computations coming from mesh discretization. The correction is based on geometrical arguments, and apart from the contact area itself requires only one additional quantity to be compu ...

Discrete variational Lie group formulation of geometrically exact beams dynamics

Tudor Ratiu, Yves Weinand, François Gay-Balmaz, François Marie Alain Demoures

The goal of this paper is to derive a structure preserving integrator for geometrically exact beam dynamics, by using a Lie group variational integrator. Both spatial and temporal discretization are implemented in a geometry preserving manner. The resultin ...

Color control of nanowire InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes by post-growth treatment

Hua Zhang, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin

Core/shell InGaN/GaN nanowire light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on vertically standing single nanowires and nanowire arrays were fabricated and extensively characterized. The emission of single wire LEDs with the same conformal contact geometry as the arr ...

L-2-cohomology and complete Hamiltonian manifolds

Tudor Ratiu

A classical theorem of Frankel for compact Kahler manifolds states that a Kahler S-1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when the Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, Frankel's theorem st ...

Learning Smooth Pattern Transformation Manifolds

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural

Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for processing and analyzing data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper, we study the problem of learning smooth pattern transformation manifolds from image sets that are ob ...

Low-Rank Matrix Completion By Riemannian Optimization

The matrix completion problem consists of finding or approximating a low-rank matrix based on a few samples of this matrix. We propose a new algorithm for matrix completion that minimizes the least-square distance on the sampling set over the Riemannian ma ...

Transformation-Invariant Analysis of Visual Signals with Parametric Models

Elif Vural

The analysis of collections of visual data, e.g., their classification, modeling and clustering, has become a problem of high importance in a variety of applications. Meanwhile, image data captured in uncontrolled environments by arbitrary users is very li ...

Some algebro-geometric solutions for the coupled modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations arising from the Neumann type systems

A treatment is described for getting some algebro-geometric solutions of the coupled modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (cmKP) equations and a hierarchy of 1 + 1 dimensional integrable nonlinear evolution equations (INLEEs) by using the Neumann type systems t ...

Learning Pattern Transformation Manifolds for Classification

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural

Manifold models provide low-dimensional representations that are useful for analyzing and classifying data in a transformation-invariant way. In this paper we study the problem of jointly building multiple pattern transformation manifolds from a collection ...

Computation and visualization of ideal knot shapes

We investigate numerical simulations and visualizations of the problem of tying a knot in a piece of rope. The goal is to use the least possible rope of a fixed, prescribed radius to tie a particular knot, e.g. a trefoil, a figure eight, and so on. The rop ...

Minimum distance between pattern transformation manifolds: Algorithm and Applications

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

Transformation invariance is an important property in pattern recognition, where different observations of the same object typically receive the same label. This paper focuses on a transformation invariant distance measure that represents the minimum dista ...

Some applications of symmetries in differential geometry and dynamical systems

Oana Mihaela Dragulete

This thesis deals with applications of Lie symmetries in differential geometry and dynamical systems. The first chapter of the thesis studies the singular reduction of symmetries of cosphere bundles, the conservation properties of contact systems and their ...
