Relative plus constructions

Let h be a connective homology theory. We construct a functorial relative plus construction as a Bousfield localization functor in the category of maps of spaces. It allows us to associate to a pair (X,H), consisting of a connected space X and an hperfect ...

Collapse-invariant properties of spaces equipped with signals or directions

Stefania Ebli

Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...

A Distributed Luenberger Observer for Linear State Feedback Systems With Quantized and Rate-Limited Communications

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti, Ye Pu, Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This article addresses the problem of simultaneous distributed state estimation, and control of linear systems with linear state feedback, subjected to process, and measurement noise, under the constraints of quantized, and rate-limited network data transm ...

Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne, Olivier Baverel

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

On The Singular Set In The Thin Obstacle Problem: Higher-Order Blow-Ups And The Very Thin Obstacle Problem

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

We consider the singular set in the thin obstacle problem with weight vertical bar x(n +1)vertical bar(a) for a epsilon (-1, 1), which arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian (a nonlocal problem). We develop a ref ...

Role of electric currents in the Fano resonances of connected plasmonic structures

Olivier Martin, Marco Riccardi

In this work, we use finite elements simulations to study the far field properties of two plasmonic structures, namely a dipole antenna and a cylinder dimer, connected to a pair of nanorods. We show that electrical, rather than near field, coupling between ...

Global bifurcation at isolated singular points of the Hadamard derivative

Charles Stuart

Consider F is an element of C(RxX,Y) such that F(lambda, 0) = 0 for all lambda is an element of R, where X and Y are Banach spaces. Bifurcation from the line Rx{0} of trivial solutions is investigated in cases where F(lambda, center dot ) need not be Frech ...

Robust Fano resonance in a topological mechanical beam

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Wei Wang

The advances in topological condensed matter physics enable the manipulation of classic waves in different ways, such as unidirectional propagation featuring the suppression of backscattering and the robustness against impurities and disorder, making it po ...

A complex networks approach to traffic flow theory: measures and models

Leonardo Bellocchi

In this thesis, we developed a research direction that combines the theoretical concepts of complex networks with practical needs and applications in the field of transportation engineering. As a first objective we analyzed the phenomenon of congestion pr ...

Qualitative properties and global bifurcation of solutions for a singular boundary value problem

Charles Stuart

This paper deals with a singular, nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problem of the form {A(x)u'(x)}'+ lambda u (x) = f (x, u(x), u'(x)) on (0,1) where A is positive on (0,1] but decays quadratically to zero as x approaches zero. This is the lowest level of degener ...

A local discontinuous Galerkin gradient discretization method for linear and quasilinear elliptic equations

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Rosilho De Souza

A local weighted discontinuous Galerkin gradient discretization method for solving elliptic equations is introduced. The local scheme is based on a coarse grid and successively improves the solution solving a sequence of local elliptic problems in high gra ...

Some regularity results for p-harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds

Changyu Guo

Let M be a C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and N a complete C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary p-harmonic mapping u: M -> N, whose image lies in a compact subset of N, is locally C-1,C-alpha for some alpha is an eleme ...

Unique decomposition of homogeneous languages and application to isothetic regions

Nicolas René Jean Ninin

A language is said to be homogeneous when all its words have the same length. Homogeneous languages thus form a monoid under concatenation. It becomes freely commutative under the simultaneous actions of every permutation group G(n) on the collection of ho ...

Ising Model: Local Spin Correlations and Conformal Invariance

Clément Hongler, Sung Chul Park

We study the 2-dimensional Ising model at critical temperature on a simply connected subset of the square grid Z2. The scaling limit of the critical Ising model is conjectured to be described by Conformal Field Theory; in particular, there is expected to b ...

Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana

Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...
