Embeddings of maximal tori in classical groups over local and global fields

Embeddings of maximal tori in classical groups over fields of characteristic not 2 are the subject matter of several recent papers. The aim of the present paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for such an embedding to exist, when the base fi ...

Adaptive elastic networks as models of supercooled liquids

Matthieu Wyart

The thermodynamics and dynamics of supercooled liquids correlate with their elasticity. In particular for covalent networks, the jump of specific heat is small and the liquid is strong near the threshold valence where the network acquires rigidity. By cont ...

Do we need "more research" or better implementation through knowledge brokering?

Janet Gordon Hering

More research is needed is an iconic catchphrase used by scientists worldwide. Yet policy and management decisions are continually being made with variable levels of reliance on scientific knowledge. Funding agencies have provided incentives for knowledge ...

Plug-and-play state estimation and application to distributed output-feedback model predictive control

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Marcello Farina

In this paper we propose a novel distributed state estimator for large-scale linear systems composed by subsystems interacting through state variables. The distributed state estimator has the following features: (i) local state estimators, each dedicated t ...

Arbitrary order generalized state space average modeling of switching converters

Drazen Dujic, Uzair Javaid

Generalized State Space Average Modeling (GSSAM), of switching converters, offers an opportunity to improve fidelity of a model by inclusion of different harmonic components. Yet, the inclusion of each frequency component contributes to an increase in the ...

Modeling Credit Contagion via the Updating of Fragile Beliefs

Pierre Collin Dufresne

We propose an equilibrium model for defaultable bonds that are subject to contagion risk. Contagion arises because agents with "fragile beliefs" are uncertain about the underlying economic state and its probability. Estimation on sovereign European credit ...

Empirical Study of Noise Dependence in Electrochemical Sensors

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Seyedeh Sara Ghoreishizadeh

We report the experimental study of noise in electrochemical biosensors as related to voltage and concentration. A comparison with experiments is performed for H2O2 and Ferrocyanide with bare sensors and with sensors functionalized wi ...

Techniques for modelling microstructure in metal forming processes

Roland Logé

This chapter discusses several types of numerical models for metallurgical evolution. First, some basic notions of microstructure representations and microstructure state variables, some features of hardening and recovery and some features of recrystalliza ...

Explicit non-local damage computations in dynamics: on the importance of the choice of the non-local variable.

Jean-François Molinari, Nicolas Richart, Cyprien Wolff

Traditional local approaches to continuum damage mechanics are known to lead to mesh dependency due to damage localization. Some corrections for this ill-posed problem exist through localization limiters. The integral non-local regularization is widely use ...

Optimal operating points of oscillators using nonlinear resonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo

We demonstrate an analytical method for calculating the phase sensitivity of a class of oscillators whose phase does not affect the time evolution of the other dynamic variables. We show that such oscillators possess the possibility for complete phase nois ...
