We propose a distributed design method for decentralized control by exploiting the underlying sparsity properties of the problem. Our method is based on chordal decomposition of sparse block matrices and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADM ...
Supported aluminum-based complex hydrides (alanates) were investigated in view of their interaction at the interface. Nickel-containing porous carbon sheets (Ni-PCSs) were combined with various alanates, resulting in a decrease of the decomposition tempera ...
Under the auspices of EUROfusion (WPMST1), the ITER baseline scenario (IBL, [1]) is jointly investigated on AUG and TCV. While the AUG results were presented at the last IAEA FEC [2], this contribution focuses on the recent results obtained in TCV and rela ...
We have carried out a systematic investigation of the critical activation parameters (i.e., final temperature (673-1273 K), atmosphere (He vs. O-2/He), and final isothermal hold (1 min-15 h) on the generation of "alpha-sites", responsible for the direct N2 ...
This study proposes a general computational framework for the form-finding of tensegrity structures. The procedure is divided into two stages in which the member force densities and nodal coordinates are obtained respectively. In the first stage, the deter ...
Quasi-Newton (qN) techniques approximate the Newton step by estimating the Hessian using the so-called secant equations. Some of these methods compute the Hessian using several secant equations but produce non-symmetric updates. Other quasi-Newton schemes, ...
Given a level set E of an arbitrary multiplicative function f, we establish, by building on the fundamental work of Frantzikinakis and Host [14, 15], a structure theorem that gives a decomposition of 1E into an almost periodic and a pseudo-random part ...
Euclidean distance matrices (EDMs) are a major tool for localization from distances, with applications ranging from protein structure determination to global positioning and manifold learning. They are, however, static objects which serve to localize point ...
We address the problem of predicting aggregate vote outcomes (e.g., national) from partial outcomes (e.g., regional) that are revealed sequentially. We combine matrix factorization techniques and generalized linear models (GLMs) to obtain a flexible, effic ...
Building on a recent investigation of the Shastry-Sutherland model [S. Wessel et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 174432 (2018)], we develop a general strategy to eliminate the Monte Carlo sign problem near the zero-temperature limit in frustrated quantum spin models ...
