The effect of smooth parametrizations on nonconvex optimization landscapes

We develop new tools to study landscapes in nonconvex optimization. Given one optimization problem, we pair it with another by smoothly parametrizing the domain. This is either for practical purposes (e.g., to use smooth optimization algorithms with good g ...

ALMOST EVERYWHERE NONUNIQUENESS OF INTEGRAL CURVES FOR DIVERGENCE-FREE SOBOLEV VECTOR FIELDS

Massimo Sorella

We construct divergence-free Sobolev vector fields in C([0,1];W-1,W-r(T-d;Rd)) with r < d and d\geq 2 which simultaneously admit any finite number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation. These vector fields are then shown to have at leas ...

New SIDH Countermeasures for a More Efficient Key Exchange

Tako Boris Fouotsa, Andrea Basso

The Supersingular Isogeny Diffie-Hellman (SIDH) protocol has been the main and most efficient isogeny-based encryption protocol, until a series of breakthroughs led to a polynomial-time key-recovery attack. While some countermeasures have been proposed, th ...

An unrefinement algorithm for planar THB-spline parameterizations

Annalisa Buffa

Unrefinement is a tool that allows to perform faster numerical simulations by controlling the level of precision in the specified area. We introduce an algorithm that creates a coarser geometry from an initial regular geometry, which is represented with re ...

A Multifractal Vision of 5-Fluorouracil Release from Chitosan-Based Matrix

Maria-Alexandra Paun

A suite of four drug deliverance formulations grounded on 5-fluorouracil enclosed in a chitosan-founded intercellular substance was produced by 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal with in situ hydrogelation. The formulations have been examined from a morphological ...

Generation of elastic geodesic gridshells with anisotropic cross sections

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

Geodesic gridshells are shell structures made of continuous elements following geodesic lines. Their properties ease the use of beams with anisotropic cross-sections by avoiding bending about their strong axis. However, such bending may arise when flatteni ...

Efficient equilibrium-based stress recovery for isogeometric laminated curved structures

Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Alessandro Reali

This work extends the stress recovery for laminated composite solid plates, proposed in [1,2], to curved structures. Based on 3D Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) computations and equilibrium, this procedure uses a single element through the thickness in combina ...

Probing the buckling of pressurized spherical shells

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

The prediction of the critical buckling conditions of shell structures is plagued by imperfection sensitivity. Non-destructive testing through point-load probing has been recently proposed to map the stability landscape of cylindrical shells. However, the ...

How to weave a perfect sphere with curved strips

Mark Pauly, Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Tian Chen, Yingying Ren, Samuel Jean Bernard Poincloux, Francis Julian Panetta

Triaxial weaving, a craft technique that enables the generation of surfaces with tri-directional arrays of initially straight elastic strips, has long been loved by basket makers and artists seeking a combination of practical and aesthetically-pleasing str ...

Variations on R-curves and traction-separation relations in DCB specimens loaded under end opening forces or pure moments

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

In this work the differences in R-curve response and traction-separation relations due to a finite damage zone or large-scale bridging (LSB) in mode I fracture on double cantilever beams (DCB) were investigated under end opening forces (EOF) and pure momen ...
