Insights Into the Dynamics of Vegetated Alternate Bars by Means of Flume Experiments

Giulio Calvani

Alternate bars are bedforms recognizable in straight or weakly curved channels as a result of riverbed instability. The length and height of alternate bars scale with the river width and the water depth, respectively. During low water stages, alternate bar ...

Tokamak-agnostic actuator management for multi-task integrated control with application to TCV and ITER

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Mengdi Kong

The plasma control system (PCS) of a long-pulse tokamak must be able to handle multiple control tasks simultaneously, and must be capable of robust event handling with a limited set of actuators. For ITER, this is particularly challenging given the large n ...

Efficient Variance-Reduced Learning Over Multi-Agent Networks

Ali H. Sayed, Kun Yuan, Bicheng Ying

This work develops a fully decentralized variance-reduced learning algorithm for multi-agent networks where nodes store and process the data locally and are only allowed to communicate with their immediate neighbors. In the proposed algorithm, there is no ...
