Recent advances on low-dimensional and topological materials has greatly inspired the research in condensed matter physics. This thesis is devoted to the computational and theoretical study of topological effects in two-dimensional materials, especially na ...
We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbors and the channel has a limited data-rate. A co ...
Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are crucial for our understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Because of their powerful symmetry properties, they play the role of signposts in the space of QFTs. Any method that gives us information about their structure ...
We consider finite-level, symmetric quantization procedures for construction and decoding of polar codes. Whether polarization occurs in the presence of quantization is not known in general. Hassani and Urbanke have shown that a simple three-level quantiza ...
To support growing data bandwidths, high-speed moderate-resolution ADCs have become vital for high-speed serial links. Interleaved SAR ADCs achieve high sampling speeds and good energy efficiency. However a challenge is that these ADCs are large and theref ...
Understanding the elementary steps involved in a chemical reaction forms the cornerstone of physical chemistry research. One way to deepen this understanding is by studying chemical and physical processes using linear and nonlinear spectroscopic techniques ...
Over the past few decades we have been experiencing an explosion of information generated by large networks of sensors and other data sources. Much of this data is intrinsically structured, such as traffic evolution in a transportation network, temperature ...
In this paper we propose a method to adapt the quantization tables of typical block-based transform codecs when the input to the encoder is a panoramic image resulting from equirectangular projection of a spherical image. When the visual content is project ...
During the 17th century, being an engineer at the Medici Court was a discipline at the intersection of mathematics, and the pictorial and mechanical arts. Born out of the heritage of Alberti, Vinci, and Vasari, the Accademia del disegno - founded on the th ...
We report results from a systematic numerical investigation of the nonlinear patterns that emerge when a slender elastic rod is deployed onto a moving substrate; a system also known as the elastic sewing machine (ESM). The discrete elastic rods (DER) metho ...
