Flow Time Scheduling and Prefix Beck-Fiala

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lars Rohwedder

We relate discrepancy theory with the classic scheduling problems of minimizing max flow time and total flow time on unrelated machines. Specifically, we give a general reduction that allows us to transfer discrepancy bounds in the prefix Beck-Fiala (bound ...

Experimental Assessment of a 3D-Printed Stainless Steel Gas Foil Bearing

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Gas foil bearings (GFBs) are a key enabling technology for high-speed turbomachinery. The manufacturing of GFBs relies mainly on sheet metal forming techniques in order to conceive the compliant structure (e.g., bump foil) and the top foil. Such techniques ...

Slope-Space Integrals for Specular Next Event Estimation

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner, Guillaume Rémi Bruno Loubet

Monte Carlo light transport simulations often lack robustness in scenes containing specular or near-specular materials. Widely used uni- and bidirectional sampling strategies tend to find light paths involving such materials with insufficient probability, ...

Problem structuring to enable innovation in business/IT projects

Gil Regev, Tatiana Porté, Alain Wegmann

In this paper, we present a problem structuring method in business and IT analysis illustrated with an example. The project describes an IT consulting case done for a Swiss medical society faced with a problem of change management and digital transformatio ...

3D Reconstruction of Optical Diffraction Tomography Based on a Neural Network Model

Morteza Hasani Shoreh

Optical tomography has been widely investigated for biomedical imaging applications. In recent years, it has been combined with digital holography and has been employed to produce high quality images of phase objects such as cells. In this Thesis, we look ...

A reduced order accelerator for time-dependent segregated neutronic solvers

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Alessandro Scolaro, Stefan Radman

The deterministic solution of the neutron transport problem entails the coupled solution of several partial differential equations, one for each energy group, direction and/or spherical harmonic. Several techniques have been devised for accelerating the so ...

Distributed Diffusion Adaptation Over Graph Signals

Ali H. Sayed, Roula Nassif, Jie Chen

Most works on graph signal processing assume static graph signals, which is a limitation even in comparison to traditional DSP techniques where signals are modeled as sequences that evolve over time. For broader applicability, it is necessary to develop te ...

INVESTIGATION OF TURBIDITY CURRENT VENTING FOR TWO DIFFERENT RESERVOIR BED SLOPES

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

Reservoirs represent an important source of energy that should be preserved and sustained. However, the lifetime of reservoirs is being reduced due to natural processes such as sedimentation. To face this problem, different sediment mitigation techniques a ...

Improved hardness results for unique shortest vector problem

Divesh Aggarwal

The unique shortest vector problem on a rational lattice is the problem of finding the shortest non-zero vector under the promise that it is unique (up to multiplication by -1). We give several incremental improvements on the known hardness of the unique s ...

Accelerated Microstructure Imaging via Convex Optimization (AMICO) from diffusion MRI data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Alessandro Daducci, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Tim Bjørn Dyrby, Hui Zhang

Microstructure imaging from diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) data represents an invaluable tool to study non-invasively the morphology of tissues and to provide a biological insight into their microstructural organization. In recent years, a variety of bi ...

Geometric Variational Models for Inverse Problems in Imaging

Virginia Estellers Casas

This dissertation develops geometric variational models for different inverse problems in imaging that are ill-posed, designing at the same time efficient numerical algorithms to compute their solutions. Variational methods solve inverse problems by the fo ...

Global Optimization for Multiple Agents

Boi Faltings, Brammert Ottens

In many situations, agents optimize their own operations locally but their local problems are interdependent. We consider the problem of coordinating these local problems to find a globally optimal solution. We model the coordination problem as a Distribut ...
