Invariant integrals on topological groups

We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in [23] to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we look at the class of gro ...

ON WAVEFRONT ABERRATIONS IN ASYMMETRIC AND MULTIPLE APERTURE OPTICAL SYSTEMS

Alessandro Grosso

The present work deals with monochromatic wavefront aberrations in optical systems without symmetries. The treatment begins with a class of systems characterized by misaligned spherical surfaces whose behavior is analyzed using the wavefront aberration exp ...

Full field dependence of primary aberrations in perturbed double-plane symmetric systems with a circular pupil

Toralf Scharf, Alessandro Grosso

This paper deals with the theory of primary aberrations for perturbed double-plane symmetric optical systems consisting of a combination of tilted and decentered surfaces and a circular pupil. First, the analytical expressions describing the full field beh ...

Grounding Resistance of a Hemispheric Electrode Located on the Top of a Finite-Height, Cone-Shaped Mountain

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami

In this letter, we present an analytical solution for the resistance of a hemispheric grounding electrode located on the top of a mountain. The mountain is modeled as a truncated cone with a finite height. Recently, a closed-form solution for the grounding ...

The uniform symbolic topology property for diagonally F-regular algebras

Javier Alonso Carvajal Rojas

Let k be a field of positive characteristic. Building on the work of the second named author, we define a new class of k-algebras, called diagonally F-regular algebras, for which the so-called Uniform. Symbolic Topology Property (USTP) holds effectively. W ...

On the Influence of an Elevated Terrain on the Grounding Resistance of a Vertical Rod

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga

In this paper, we analyze the grounding resistance of a vertical grounding rod located in an elevated terrain. Tall structures such as wind turbines and mobile phone base stations are often installed in remote and hilly locations to gain more power or to f ...

A Fast Gradient Method for Nonnegative Sparse Regression With Self-Dictionary

Robert Gerhard Jérôme Luce

A nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) can be computed efficiently under the separability assumption, which asserts that all the columns of the given input data matrix belong to the cone generated by a (small) subset of them. The provably most robust met ...

Stepwise Luneburg Lens for Bloch Surface Waves

Myun Sik Kim, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

In order to enlarge the capability for in-plane manipulation of the Bloch surface wave (BSW), we investigate 2D gradient index (GRIN) optical components using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical method. To ease difficulties in fabrication to a ...

Effect of pool confinement on pressures around a block impacted by plunging aerated jets

Anton Schleiss, Rafael Xavier Meriade Duarte

The erosion caused by jets issued from hydraulic structures progressively develops a confined scour-hole on the riverbed. A realistic scour assessment must consider both the influence of the air entrained when the jet plunges into the pool and the flow pat ...

Splitting fields of conics and sums of squares of rational functions

David Maximilian Grimm

Given a geometrically unirational variety over an infinite base field, we show that every finite separable extension of the base field that splits the variety is the residue field of a closed point. As an application, we obtain a characterization of functi ...

High-speed CMOS magnetic angle sensor based on miniaturized circular vertical Hall devices

Radivoje Popovic, Mirjana Banjevic

We present a high-speed CMOS integrated magnetic angle sensor consisting of two 8-contact circular vertical Hall devices (CVHD). The biasing and sensing of the Hall voltage is rotated clockwise for the first device, and counter clockwise for the second one ...

New Results in the Theory of Linear and Integer Programming

Nicolai Hähnle

The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...

Technical note: Preliminary estimation of rockfall runout zones

Vincent Labiouse

Rockfall propagation areas can be determined using a simple geometric rule known as shadow angle or energy line method based on a simple Coulomb frictional model implemented in the CONEFALL computer program. Runout zones are estimated from a digital terrai ...

OmniSIFT: Scale Invariant Features in Omnidirectional Images

Pascal Frossard, Zafer Arican

We propose a method to compute scale invariant features in omnidirectional images. We present a formulation based on Riemannian geometry for the definition of differential operators on non-Euclidian manifolds that correspond to the particular form of mirro ...

A method to determine the onset voltage of single and arrays of electrospray emitters

Herbert Shea, Renato Krpoun

This paper reports on an accurate and rapid method to compute the onset voltage for a single or for an array of electrospray emitters with complex geometries and on the correlation of the simulation with experimental data. This method permits the exact det ...

Indentation fracture of gallium arsenide

Cédric Pouvreau

The scribe and break technique (or dicing) is a widely employed method in the industry of semiconductors to separate infrared laser diodes made from gallium arsenide (GaAs). The scribing step allows to create a precursor crack which is then propagated duri ...

Existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions for a thermomechanical model of shape memory alloys

Aïda Timofte

This thesis is devoted to the study of a thermomechanical model describing the macroscopic behavior of shape memory alloys. The analyzed model takes into account the non-isothermal character of the phase transition, as well as the existence of the intrinsi ...
