Unified Harmonic Power-Flow and Stability Analysis of Power Grids with Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources

Modern power distribution systems are experiencing a large-scale integration of Converter-Interfaced Distributed Energy Resources (CIDERs). Their presence complicates the analysis and mitigation of harmonics, whose creation and propagation may be amplified ...

A critically degenerate elliptic Dirichlet problem, spectral theory and bifurcation

Charles Stuart

In an open, bounded subset Omega of R-N such that 0 is an element of Omega we consider the nonlinear eigenvalue problem -Sigma(N)(i,j,=1) partial derivative(i){A(ij)(x)partial derivative(j)u} + V(x)u + n(x,del u)+ g(x, u) = lambda u in Omega integral(Omega ...

Fast Least-Squares Padé approximation of problems with normal operators and meromorphic structure

Fabio Nobile, Francesca Bonizzoni, Davide Pradovera

In this work, we consider the approximation of Hilbert space-valued meromorphic functions that arise as solution maps of parametric PDEs whose operator is the shift of an operator with normal and compact resolvent, e.g., the Helmholtz equation. In this res ...

Linearized Coulomb Collision Operator for Simulation of Interpenetrating Plasma Streams

Stephan Brunner

We present an extension of a linearized Coulomb collision operator, previously used in several Eulerian kinetic codes for like-species collisions and unlike-species collisions in the case where the backgrounds about which the linearization is made all are ...

Generalized Norm-compatible Systems on Unitary Shimura Varieties

Mohamed Réda Boumasmoud

We define and study in terms of integral Iwahoriâ Hecke algebras a new class of geometric operators acting on the Bruhat-Tits building of connected reductive groups over p-adic fields. These operators, which we call U-operators, generalize the geometric n ...

Geometric spects A of Similarity Problems

Peter Clemens Schlicht

This article presents a geometric approach to some similarity problems involving metric arguments in the non-positively curved space of positive invertible operators of an operator algebra and the canonical isometric action by invertible elements on the co ...

Region Of Interest X-Ray Computed Tomography Via Corrected Back Projection

Michaël Unser, Michael Thompson McCann, Laura Vilaclara

We present a new method for region of interest (ROI) reconstruction from high-resolution, nontruncated data in parallel-ray X-ray computed tomography (CT). Many of the approaches to ROI CT reconstruction in the literature rely on a costly forward projectio ...

Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Inverse Problems in Imaging

Michaël Unser, Michael Thompson McCann, Kyong Hwan Jin, Emmanuel Augustin Julien Froustey

In this paper, we propose a novel deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based algorithm for solving ill-posed inverse problems. Regularized iterative algorithms have emerged as the standard approach to ill-posed inverse problems in the past few decades. ...

Fast 3D reconstruction method for differential phase contrast X-ray CT

Michaël Unser, Masih Nilchian, Michael Thompson McCann, Marco Stampanoni

We present a fast algorithm for fully 3D regularized X-ray tomography reconstruction for both traditional and differential phase contrast measurements. In many applications, it is critical to reduce the X-ray dose while producing high-quality reconstructio ...

Hermitian Categories, Extension Of Scalars And Systems Of Sesquilinear Forms

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Daniel Arnold Moldovan

We prove that the category of systems of sesquilinear forms over a given hermitian category is equivalent to the category of unimodular 1-hermitian forms over another hermitian category. The sesquilinear forms are not required to be unimodular or defined o ...

Information-Theoretic Regret Bounds for Gaussian Process Optimization in the Bandit Setting

Matthias Seeger, Andreas Krause

Many applications require optimizing an unknown, noisy function that is expensive to evaluate. We formalize this task as a multiarmed bandit problem, where the payoff function is either sampled from a Gaussian process (GP) or has low norm in a reproducing ...

Hermitian Forms over Algebras with Involution and Hermitian Categories

Daniel Arnold Moldovan

This thesis is concerned with the algebraic theory of hermitian forms. It is organized in two parts. The first, consisting of the first two chapters, deals with some descent properties of unimodular hermitian forms over central simple algebras with involut ...

Quotient-method Algorithms for Input-affine Single-input Nonlinear Systems

Willson Sudarsandhari Shibani

Many real-world systems are intrinsically nonlinear. This thesis proposes various algorithms for designing control laws for input-affine single-input nonlinear systems. These algorithms, which are based on the concept of quotients used in nonlinear control ...

Linear Arithmetic with Stars

Viktor Kuncak, Ruzica Piskac

We consider an extension of integer linear arithmetic with a “star” operator takes closure under vector addition of the solution set of a linear arithmetic subformula. We show that the satisfiability problem for this extended language remains in NP (and th ...

Extrapolation et synthèse

Christian Fiorillo

Let G a locally compact group, H a closed subgroup and 1 < p < ∞. It's well-known that the restriction of the functions from G to H is a surjective linear contraction from Ap(G) onto Ap(H). We prove, when H is amenable, that every element in Ap(H) with com ...

Global continuation for ODE systems over the half-line and study of von Kármán's swirling flow problem

Gilles Evéquoz

This work is concerned with the global continuation for solutions (λ,u,ξ) ∈ R × C1{0}([0,∞), RN) × Rk of the following system of ordinary differential equations: where F: [0,∞) × RN × U × J → RN and φ: U × J → X1, for some open sets J ⊂ R and U ⊂ Rk, and w ...

Exponential-Spline Wavelet Bases

Michaël Unser, Ildar Khalidov

We build a multiresolution analysis based on shift-invariant exponential B-spline spaces. We construct the basis functions for these spaces and for their orthogonal complements. This yields a new family of wavelet-like basis functions of
