This Master project is part of laboratory research consisting in optimizing path planning of a swarm of drones for massive traffic data collection. The main goals aim to determine the optimal number of drones to use given the available fleet and to generat ...
Various bias-correction methods such as EXTRA, DIGing, and exact diffusion have been proposed recently to solve distributed deterministic optimization problems. These methods employ constant step-sizes and converge linearly to the exact solution under prop ...
This paper develops a distributed variance-reduced strategy for a collection of interacting agents that are connected by a graph topology. The resulting diffusion-AVRG (where AVRG stands for "amortized variance-reduced gradient") algorithm is shown to have ...
This article studies the Cauchy problem for systems of semi-linear wave equations on R3+1 with nonlinear terms satisfying the null conditions. We construct future global-in-time classical solutions with arbitrarily large initial energy. The choice of the l ...
We study the formation of singularities for cylindrical symmetric solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation describing a Dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate. We prove that solutions arising from initial data with energy below the energy of the Ground State a ...
This paper presents a method for the optimal siting and sizing of energy storage systems (ESSs) in active distribution networks (ADNs) to achieve their dispatchability. The problem formulation accounts for the uncertainty inherent to the stochastic nature ...
We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in the fact that, ...
The isogeometric approximation of the Stokes problem in a trimmed domain is studied. This setting is characterized by an underlying mesh unfitted with the boundary of the physical domain making the imposition of the essential boundary conditions a challeng ...
Using the Lambert function, Guittienne et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 093519 (2018)] derived two-fluid solutions for radial Langmuir probes in collisionless and isothermal plasma. In this Brief Communication, we point out the close analogy with classical compre ...
Let xi(t, x) denote space-time white noise and consider a reaction-diffusion equation of the form (t, x) = 1/2u ''(t, x) + b(u(t, x)) + sigma(u(t,x))xi(t,x) on R+ x [0, 1], with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and suitable initial d ...
