The controllability cost for the heat equation as the control time

T

goes to 0 is well-known of the order

e^{C/T}

for some positive constant

C

, depending on the controlled domain and for all initial datum. In this paper, we prove that the constant $C ...

Adaptive Gradient Descent without Descent

Konstantin Mishchenko

We present a strikingly simple proof that two rules are sufficient to automate gradient descent: 1) don’t increase the stepsize too fast and 2) don’t overstep the local curvature. No need for functional values, no line search, no information about the func ...

Very-High-Speed Miniaturized Permanent Magnet Motors: Design and Optimization

Yves Perriard, Guillaume Paul-André Burnand

This paper aims to present an optimization method for very-high-speed electrical machines based on multiphysical analytical models. Analytical models allow a fast design but have to be robust and reliable. The set of models presented is very complete and c ...

Food Talks: visual and interaction principles for representing environmental and nutritional food information in augmented reality

Delphine Ribes Lemay, Nicolas Henchoz, Emily Clare Groves, Andreas Sonderegger

This user-centered design research project aimed to investigate visual and interaction principles for augmented reality (AR) in the context of environmental and nutritional food labelling. Nutritional information on existing food labels is often misunderst ...

Malfunction diagnosis of thermal power plants based on advanced exergy analysis: The case with multiple malfunctions occurring simultaneously

Ligang Wang

During continuous operation of energy systems, the performance of components will mostly, gradually deviate away from the reference conditions due to performance degradation, which may eventually lead to malfunctions or operation failure. The complex inter ...

Single Organic Droplet Collision Voltammogram via Electron Transfer Coupled Ion Transfer

Pekka Eero Peljo, Haiqiang Deng, Cheng Liu

Single-emulsion toluene oil droplets (femtoliter) containing a hydrophobic redox probe that are dispersed in water stochastically collide with an ultramicroelectrode (UME). The fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) or Fourier-transformed sinusoidal voltammet ...

Quantitative analysis of structural changes during rapid urban growth

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

New quantitative measures of urban structural changes are introduced and applied to the fast-growing city of Kerman, Iran. The results of 20,802 street measurements show that the main street orientations are orthogonal, both in the old inner part and in th ...

Social rules govern vocal competition in the barn owl

Christof Faller

To resolve the share of limited resources, animals often compete through exchange of signals about their relative motivation to compete. When two competitors are similarly motivated, the resolution of conflicts may be achieved in the course of an interacti ...
