Memento Mori: Reliable robustness in self-reconfigurable modular robots

Modular robotics link the reliability of a centralised system with the adaptivity of a decentralised system. It is difficult for a robot with a fixed shape to be able to perform many different types of tasks. As the task space grows, the number of functi ...

Connecting Hodge and Sakaguchi-Kuramoto through a mathematical framework for coupled oscillators on simplicial complexes

Alexis Arnaudon

Phase synchronizations in models of coupled oscillators such as the Kuramoto model have been widely studied with pairwise couplings on arbitrary topologies, showing many unexpected dynamical behaviors. Here, based on a recent formulation the Kuramoto model ...

Atomic subgraphs and the statistical mechanics of networks

Sofia Charlotta Olhede

We develop random graph models where graphs are generated by connecting not only pairs of vertices by edges, but also larger subsets of vertices by copies of small atomic subgraphs of arbitrary topology. This allows for the generation of graphs with extens ...

Separating the roles of magnetic topology and neutral trapping in modifying the detachment threshold for TCV

Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

Total flux expansion, a divertor magnetic topology design choice embodied in the Super-X divertor, is predicted through simple analytic models and SOLPS calculations to reduce the plasma and impurity density detachment thresholds as the outer divertor sepa ...

On Cyclic Dependencies and Regulators in Time-Sensitive Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ludovic Bernard Gérard Thomas

For time-sensitive networks, as in the context of IEEE TSN and IETF Detnet, cyclic dependencies are associated with certain fundamental properties such as improving availability and decreasing reconfiguration effort. Nevertheless, the existence of cyclic d ...

A codimension two stable manifold of near soliton equivariant wave maps

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider finite-energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from ℝ2+1 to S2 which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension-two class of initial data which is small with respect to a stronger topo ...

Elasto-static micropolar behavior of a chiral auxetic lattice

Alessandro Spadoni

Auxetic materials expand when stretched, and shrink when compressed. This is the result of a negative Poisson's ratio ν. Isotropic configurations with ν≈−1 have been designed and are expected to provide increased shear stiffness G. This assumes that Young' ...
