Diving into the dynamics of product evolution

Three distinct stages describe the technological evolution of a product over time: ferment, convergence on a dominant design and an era of incremental change. Until recently, the era of incremental change has been characterized as stable and one that invol ...

Embodiment Sensitivity to Movement Distortion and Perspective Taking in Virtual Reality

Henrique Galvan Debarba

Despite recent technological improvements of immersive technologies, Virtual Reality suffers from severe intrinsic limitations, in particular the immateriality of the visible 3D environment. Typically, any simulation and manipulation in a cluttered environ ...

Global well-posedness for the Yang-Mills equation in 4+1 dimensions: Small energy

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider the hyperbolic Yang-Mills equation on the Minkowski space

\reels^{4+1}

. Our main result asserts that this problem is globally well-posed for all initial data whose energy is sufficiently small. This solves a longstanding open problem. ...

Existence and Non-uniqueness of Global Weak Solutions to Inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq Equations

Elisabetta Chiodaroli

We consider the initial value problem for the inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq equations in three spatial dimensions. We recast both systems as an abstract Euler-type system and apply the methods of convex integration of De Lellis and Sz,kelyhidi to show ...

Wave Pipelining for Majority-based Beyond-CMOS Technologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Eleonora Testa, Odysseas Zografos

The performance of some emerging nanotechnolo- gies benefits from wave pipelining. The design of such circuits re- quires new models and algorithms. Thus we show how Majority- Inverter Graphs (MIG) can be used for this purpose and we extend the related opt ...
