Null energy constraints on two-dimensional RG flows

Grégoire Olivier Mathys

We study applications of spectral positivity and the averaged null energy condition (ANEC) to renormalization group (RG) flows in two-dimensional quantum field theory. We find a succinct new proof of the Zamolodchikov c-theorem, and derive further independ ...

IMPROVED REGULARITY OF SECOND DERIVATIVES FOR SUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona, Riccardo Tione

In this note, we prove that if a subharmonic function Delta u >= 0 has pure second derivatives partial derivative(ii)u that are signed measures, then their negative part (partial derivative(ii)u)- belongs to L-1 (in particular, it is not singular). We then ...

Stochastic derivative estimation for max-stable random fields

Erwan Fabrice Koch

We consider expected performances based on max-stable random fields and we are interested in their derivatives with respect to the spatial dependence parameters of those fields. Max-stable fields, such as the Brown-Resnick and Smith fields, are very popula ...

Learning of Continuous and Piecewise-Linear Functions With Hessian Total-Variation Regularization

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad, Joaquim Gonçalves Garcia Barreto Campos

We develop a novel 2D functional learning framework that employs a sparsity-promoting regularization based on second-order derivatives. Motivated by the nature of the regularizer, we restrict the search space to the span of piecewise-linear box splines shi ...

Masked Training of Neural Networks with Partial Gradients

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Amirkeivan Mohtashami

State-of-the-art training algorithms for deep learning models are based on stochastic gradient descent (SGD). Recently, many variations have been explored: perturbing parameters for better accuracy (such as in Extra-gradient), limiting SGD updates to a sub ...

Blow-up, partial regularity and turbulence in incompressible fluid dynamics

Silja Noëmi Aline Haffter

Weak solutions arise naturally in the study of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations both from an abstract regularity/blow-up perspective and from physical theories of turbulence. This thesis studies the structure and size of singular set of such weak solu ...

Adaptive analysis-aware defeaturing

Ondine Gabrielle Chanon

Removing geometrical details from a complex domain is a classical operation in computer aided design for simulation and manufacturing. This procedure simplifies the meshing process, and it enables faster simulations with less memory requirements. However, ...

Polarity Of Almost All Points For Systems Of Nonlinear Stochastic Heat Equations In The Critical Dimension

Robert Dalang

We study vector-valued solutions u(t, x) is an element of R-d to systems of nonlinear stochastic heat equations with multiplicative noise, ...

Accurate equilibrium-based interlaminar stress recovery for isogeometric laminated composite Kirchhoff plates

Pablo Antolin Sanchez

Despite the accelerated deployment of laminated composites in a wide variety of markets due to their peculiar engineering features, the design of those materials is often restrained by the lack of cost-efficient modeling techniques. In fact, the existing s ...

A computational workflow for the expansion of heterologous biosynthetic pathways to natural product derivatives

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Jasmin Maria Hafner

Plant natural products (PNPs) and their derivatives are important but underexplored sources of pharmaceutical molecules. To access this untapped potential, the reconstitution of heterologous PNP biosynthesis pathways in engineered microbes provides a valua ...

On design strategies for binary dielectric metasurfaces based on the Fourier modal method

Kévin Müller

Binary dielectric metasurfaces are arrays of sub-wavelength structures that act as a thin layer of artificial material. They are generally lossless and relatively simple to fabricate since only a single structuring step is required. By carefully designing ...

A critically degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem, spectral theory and bifurcation

Charles Stuart

In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...

Local Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion from Locally Diffeomorphic Mappings

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Shaifali Parashar

We propose a new formulation to the non-rigid structure-from-motion problem that only requires the deforming surface to meaning that its differential structure is preserved. This is a much weaker assumption than the traditional ones of isometry or conforma ...

A note on efficient computation of privileged directions in modifier adaptation

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

In the presence of plant-model mismatch, the estimation of plant gradients is key to the performance of measurement-based iterative optimization schemes. However, gradient estimation requires time-consuming experiments, wherein the plant is sequentially pe ...

On the choice of metric in gradient-based theories of brain function

Wulfram Gerstner, Johanni Michael Brea, Jean-Pascal Théodor Pfister

The idea that the brain functions so as to minimize certain costs pervades theoretical neuroscience. Because a cost function by itself does not predict how the brain finds its minima, additional assumptions about the optimization method need to be made to ...

Radiative Backpropagation: An Adjoint Method for Lightning-Fast Differentiable Rendering

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Merlin Eléazar Nimier-David, Sébastien Nicolas Speierer

Physically based differentiable rendering has recently evolved into a powerful tool for solving inverse problems involving light. Methods in this area perform a differentiable simulation of the physical process of light transport and scattering to estimate ...

Computation of "Best" Interpolants in the Lp Sense

Michaël Unser, Pakshal Narendra Bohra

We study a variant of the interpolation problem where the continuously defined solution is regularized by minimizing the L p -norm of its second-order derivative. For this continuous-domain problem, we propose an exact discretization scheme that restricts ...

Optimal Spline Generators for Derivative Sampling

Michaël Unser, Shayan Aziznejad

The goal of derivative sampling is to reconstruct a signal from the samples of the function and of its first-order derivative. In this paper, we consider this problem over a shift-invariant reconstruction subspace generated by two compact-support functions ...
