Superconducting magnets can exhibit training quenches during successive powering to reaching nominal performance. The slip-stick motion of the conductors is considered to be one of the mechanisms of training. In this paper we present a simple quantitative ...
This paper deals with the finite horizon stochastic optimal control problem with the expectation of the 1-norm as the objective function and jointly Gaussian, although not necessarily independent, disturbances. We develop an approximation strategy that sol ...
A modeling framework is proposed for the control of rigid and flexible cable-like systems such as cranes, together with a systematic algorithm for computing flat outputs of mechanical systems for which the flat output is a linear combination of the free co ...
It has been known for decades that the metabolic rate of animals scales with body mass with an exponent that is almost always 2/3, and often very close to 3/4. The 3/4 exponent emerges naturally from two models of resource distribution networks, radia ...
Most current methods for the engineering of photonic crystal (PhC) cavities rely on cumbersome, computationally demanding trial-and-error procedures. In the present work, we take a different approach to the problem of cavity design, by seeking to establish ...
Let A be an Abelian variety defined over a number field k. Let P be a point in A(k) and let X be a subgroup of A(k). Gajda and Kowalski asked in 2002 whether it is true that the point P belongs to X if and only if the point (P mod p) belongs to (X mod p) f ...
This article treats the problem of learning a dictionary providing sparse representations for a given signal class, via ℓ1-minimisation. The problem can also be seen as factorising a \ddim×\nsig matrix $Y=(y_1 \ldots y_\nsig), , y_n\in \R^\ ...

A new approach for inserting repeaters in 3-D interconnects is proposed. The allocation of repeaters along an interplane interconnect is iteratively determined. The proposed approach is compared with two other techniques based on conventional methods used ...
