State-of-the-art approaches in quadrotor control split the problem into multiple cascaded subproblems, exploiting the different time scales of the rotational and translational dynamics. They calculate a desired acceleration as input for a cascaded attitude ...
Zirconium pentatelluride was recently reported to be a 3D Dirac semimetal, with a single conical band, located at the center of the Brillouin zone. The cone's lack of protection by the lattice symmetry immediately sparked vast discussions about the size an ...
Dual active bridge (DAB) is a topology that is receiving more and more attention as a potential solution to interface dc grids of different voltage levels. From a system level, the implications of DABs on the stability of complex power systems are addresse ...
We analyze an expansion of the generalized block Krylov subspace framework of [Electron.\ Trans.\ Numer.\ Anal., 47 (2017), pp. 100-126]. This expansion allows the use of low-rank modifications of the matrix projected onto the block Krylov subspace and con ...
While in recent years gyrokinetic simulations have become the workhorse for theoretical turbulence and transport studies in the plasma core, their application to the edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) region presents significant challenges. In particular, ste ...
In this thesis, we study two distinct problems.
The first problem consists of studying the linear system of partial differential equations which consists of taking a k-form, and applying the exterior derivative 'd' to it and add the wedge product with a 1- ...
We consider the discretization of time-space diffusion equations with fractional derivatives in space and either 1D or 2D spatial domains. The use of implicit Euler scheme in time and finite differences or finite elements in space, leads to a sequence of d ...
Matrix equations of the kind A(1)X(2)+A(0)X+A(-1)=X, where both the matrix coefficients and the unknown are semi-infinite matrices belonging to a Banach algebra, are considered. These equations, where coefficients are quasi-Toeplitz matrices, are encounter ...
We review the notion of a linearity-generating (LG) process introduced by Gabaix and relate LG processes to linear-rational (LR) models studied by Filipović et al. We show that every LR model can be represented as an LG process and vice versa. We find that ...
In quantum many-body systems, the existence of a spectral gap above the ground state has far-reaching consequences. In this paper, we discuss “finite-size” criteria for having a spectral gap in frustration-free spin systems and their applications. We exten ...
