We propose a new self-adaptive and double-loop smoothing algorithm to solve composite, nonsmooth, and constrained convex optimization problems. Our algorithm is based on Nesterov’s smoothing technique via general Bregman distance functions. It self-adaptiv ...
Erosion shapes our landscape and occurs when a sufficient shear stress is exerted by a fluid on a sedimented layer. What controls erosion at a microscopic level remains debated, especially near the threshold forcing where it stops. Here we study, experimen ...
The present work belongs to the vast body of research devoted to behaviors that emerge when homogeneous or heterogeneous agents interact. We adopt a stylized point of view in which the individual agents' activities can be assimilated into nonlinear dynamic ...
We consider a network of N coupled limit cycle oscillators, each having a set of control parameters Λ_k, k = 1, . . . , N, that controls the frequency and the geometry of the limit cycle. We implement a self-adaptive mechanism that drives the local systems ...
Waiting time in any network is often a costly and hence a bad experience. Therefore, to avoid jamming regions becomes essential in the optimization of traffic flows. In this regard, the conception and the control of complex networks supporting flows of uni ...
For simulations of large spiking neuron networks, an accurate, simple and versatile single-neuron modeling framework is required. Here we explore the versatility of a simple two-equation model: the adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neuron. We show th ...
In this thesis, we present a dynamical systems approach to adaptive controllers for locomotion control. The approach is based on a rigorous mathematical framework using nonlinear dynamical systems and is inspired by theories of self-organization. Nonlinear ...
Organized complexity is a characteristic feature of ecological systems with heterogeneous components interacting at several spatio-temporal scales. The hierarchy theory is a powerful epistemological framework to describe such systems by decomposing them ve ...
