Rank-Adaptive Time Integration Of Tree Tensor Networks

A rank-adaptive integrator for the approximate solution of high-order tensor differential equations by tree tensor networks is proposed and analyzed. In a recursion from the leaves to the root, the integrator updates bases and then evolves connection tenso ...

Diffusion of energy technologies: the role and dynamics of supply-side information networks

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Gloria Serra Coch, Maria Anna Hecher

The diffusion of energy technologies is key for supporting the energy transition. While social influence and peer effects have been extensively studied on the demand side and found to impact adoption, less focus has been given to the role of information ne ...

Piecewise Affine Curvature model: a reduced-order model for soft robot-environment interaction beyond PCC

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Qinghua Guan

Soft robot are celebrated for their propensity to enable compliant and complex robot-environment interactions. Soft robotic manipulators, or slender continuum structure robots have the potential to exploit these interactions to enable new exploration and m ...

An experimental validation of the polynomial curvature model: identification and optimal control of a soft underwater tentacle

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Francesco Stella, Nana Obayashi

The control possibilities for soft robots have long been hindered by the lack of accurate yet computationally treatable dynamic models of soft structures. Polynomial curvature models propose a solution to this quest for continuum slender structures. Nevert ...

Pushing the Limits of the Donor-Acceptor Copolymer Strategy for Intramolecular Singlet Fission

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Maria Fumanal Quintana

Donor-acceptor (D-A) copolymers have shown great potential for intramolecular singlet fission (iSF). Nonetheless, very few design principles exist for optimizing these systems for iSF, with very little knowledge about how to engineer them for this purpose. ...

A Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for Asymptotically Conical Manifolds and Manifolds with Conical Singularities

Adrien Giuliano Marcone

The purpose of this thesis is to provide an intrinsic proof of a Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for complete Riemannian manifolds with finitely many conical singularities and asymptotically conical ends. A geometric invariant is associated to the link of both ...

Robustness via curvature regularization, and vice versa

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Alhussein Fawzi

State-of-the-art classifiers have been shown to be largely vulnerable to adversarial perturbations. One of the most effective strategies to improve robustness is adversarial training. In this paper, we investigate the effect of adversarial training on the ...

A fibre-based frame element with explicit consideration of bond-slip effects

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to seismic loading often depict localized member-end deformations due to strain penetration effects between adjacent members, such as beam-column and column-footing joints. Past experimental programs indicate that ...

Fixed Points For Bounded Orbits In Hilbert Spaces

Nicolas Monod, Maxime Gheysens

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...

X-Point Effect on Plasma Blob Dynamics

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Fabio Avino

Plasma blob dynamics on the high-field side in the proximity of a magnetic field null (X point) is investigated in TORPEX. A significant acceleration of the blobs towards the X point is observed. Close to the X point the blobs break apart. The E x B drifts ...

Efficient model reduction of parametrized systems by matrix discrete empirical interpolation

Andrea Manzoni, Federico Negri

In this work, we apply a Matrix version of the so-called Discrete Empirical Interpolation (MDEIM) for the efficient reduction of nonaffine parametrized systems arising from the discretization of linear partial differential equations. Dealing with affinely ...

Insight into the eigenmodes of plasmonic nanoclusters based on the Green's tensor method

Olivier Martin, Shourya Dutta Gupta

Assemblies of plasmonic nanoparticles possess exotic properties that are used in numerous applications. Their efficiency for specific applications strongly depends on the modes supported by the structure. In this paper, we extend the Green's tensor formali ...

Reduced basis method for the Stokes equations in decomposable parametrized domains using greedy optimization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Laura Iapichino

Flow simulations in pipelined channels and several kinds of parametrized configurations have a growing interest in many life sciences and industrial applications. Applications may be found in the analysis of the blood flow in specific compartments of the c ...

Overview of the Geometries of Shape Spaces and Diffeomorphism Groups

Martins Bruveris, Martin Bauer

This article provides an overview of various notions of shape spaces, including the space of parametrized and unparametrized curves, the space of immersions, the diffeomorphism group and the space of Riemannian metrics. We discuss the Riemannian metrics th ...

Principal Polynomial Analysis

Devis Tuia

This paper presents a new framework for manifold learning based on a sequence of principal polynomials that capture the possibly nonlinear nature of the data. The proposed Principal Polynomial Analysis (PPA) generalizes PCA by modeling the directions of ma ...

Reduced basis approximation and a posteriori error estimation for Stokes flows in parametrized geometries: roles of the inf-sup stability constants

Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni

In this paper we review and we extend the reduced basis approximation and a posteriori error estimation for steady Stokes flows in affinely parametrized geometries, focusing on the role played by the Brezzi's and Babuska's stability constants. The crucial ...

The degenerate two well problem for piecewise affine maps

Bernard Dacorogna

The two well problem consists in finding maps u which satisfy some boundary conditions and whose gradient Du assumes values in the two wells . Here (similarly ) is the well generated by a 2 x 2 matrix A, i.e., is the set of matrices of the form RA, where R ...

Fixed points and amenability in non-positive curvature

Nicolas Monod

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the torsion-free case. We est ...
