We study the energy distribution of harmonic 1-forms on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface S where a short closed geodesic is pinched. If the geodesic separates the surface into two parts, then the Jacobian variety of S develops into a variety that split ...
Shape estimation of soft robotic systems is challenging due to the range of deformations that can be achieved, and the limited availability of physically compatible sensors. We propose a method of reconstruction using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), whi ...
We consider a system of d non-linear stochastic fractional heat equations in spatial dimension 1 driven by multiplicative d-dimensional space-time white noise. We establish a sharp Gaussian-type upper bound on the two-point probability density function of ...
Most state-of-the-art deep geometric learning single-view reconstruction approaches rely on encoder-decoder architectures that output either shape parametrizations or implicit representations. However, these representations rarely preserve the Euclidean st ...
We introduce a new model to study the effect of surface roughness on the jamming transition. By performing numerical simulations, we show that for a smooth surface, the jamming transition density and the contact number at the transition point both increase ...
Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic loss worldwide and are one of the most dangerous gravitational hazards in mountainous regions. Various flow behaviors have been reported in snow avalanches, making them challenging to be thoroughly understood a ...
This paper proposes a shape optimization algorithm based on the principles of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) in which the parameterization of the geometry enters the problem formulation as an additional PDE-constraint. Inspired by the isoparametric principle ...
We present an alternative implementation of the Kalman filter employed for track fitting within the LHCb experiment. It uses simple parametrizations for the extrapolation of particle trajectories in the field of the LHCb dipole magnet and for the effects o ...
We exhibit non-equivariant perturbations of the blowup solutions constructed in [18] for energy critical wave maps into S2. Our admissible class of perturbations is an open set in some sufficiently smooth topology and vanishes near the light co ...
Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of roughness is deformati ...
