We consider the problem of finding a saddle point for the convex-concave objective minxmaxyf(x)+⟨Ax,y⟩−g∗(y), where f is a convex function with locally Lipschitz gradient and g is convex and possibly non-smooth. We propose an ...
We exhibit non-equivariant perturbations of the blowup solutions constructed in [18] for energy critical wave maps into S2. Our admissible class of perturbations is an open set in some sufficiently smooth topology and vanishes near the light co ...
This work studies multi-agent sharing optimization problems with the objective function being the sum of smooth local functions plus a convex (possibly non-smooth) function coupling all agents. This scenario arises in many machine learning and engineering ...
We provide a smoothening criterion for group actions on manifolds by singular diffeomorphisms. We prove that if a countable group Gamma has the fixed point property FW for walls (for example, if it has property(T)), every aperiodic action of Gamma by diffe ...
Tensegrity structures are spatial self-stressed pin jointed structures where compression components (struts) are surrounded by tension elements. This paper describes a near full-scale deployable tensegrity footbridge that deploys from both sides and connec ...
Under mild assumptions, we remove all traces of the axiom of choice from the construction of the maximal globally hyperbolic Cauchy development in general relativity. The construction relies on the notion of direct union manifolds, which we review. The con ...
This paper presents a bidirectional modular DC/DC converter. It consists of two Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) linked by a transformer to achieve galvanic isolation. This topology serves as “DC transformer” interfacing low and medium voltage DC grids. ...
We introduce a new primal-dual reconstruction algorithm for fluorescence and bioluminescence tomography. As often in optical tomography, image reconstruction is performed by optimizing a multi-term convex cost function. Current reconstruction methods emplo ...
