Energy system design under uncertainty

The current context leads energy system design to very demanding objectives, due to their variety. Indeed, despite an increasing energy demand, environment indicators are becoming always more important. So that for a given service, emission (and then assoc ...

Partitioned real-time scheduling on heterogeneous shared-memory multiprocessors

Martin Niemeier

We consider several real-time scheduling problems on heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms, in which the different processors share a common memory pool. These include (i)~scheduling a collection of implicit-deadline sporadic tasks with the objective of m ...

Electronic and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Guillaume Jean Tarel

This thesis is devoted to theoretically study the systems of single quantum dots (QDs) embedded in various photonic nanostructures, in close relation with experimental data. The word single is essential: due to their nanometer size, QDs have mainly been st ...

On large deviations for the parabolic Anderson model

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random functionals associated with the parabolic Anderson model above the mean versus large deviations below the mean. The functionals we treat are the solution u(x, t) to the sp ...

Direct evaluation of the temperature dependence of the rate constant based on the quantum instanton approximation

Jiri Vanicek, Marcin Rafal Buchowiecki

A general method for the direct evaluation of the temperature dependence of the quantum-mechanical reaction rate constant in many-dimensional systems is described. The method is based on the quantum instanton approximation for the rate constant, thermodyna ...

Large deviations for voter model occupation times in two dimensions

Thomas Mountford, Grégory Maillard

We study the decay rate of large deviation probabilities of occupation times, up to time t, for the voter model eta : Z(2) x [0, infinity) -> {0, 1} with simple random walk transition kernel, starting from a Bernoulli product distribution with density rho ...

On Large Deviation Regimes For Random Media Models

Thomas Mountford, Damien Gauthier, Michael Cranston

The focus of this article is on the different behavior of large deviations of random subadditive functionals above the mean versus large deviations below the mean in two random media models. We consider the point-to-point first passage percolation time a(n ...

On large deviations regimes for random media models

Damien Gauthier

We investigate the behavior of probabilities of large deviations above the mean versus large deviations below the mean for random additive functionals in a variety of random media models. Among others, we treat the large deviations of the point-to-hyperpla ...

Diabatic free energy curves and coordination fluctuations for the aqueous Ag(+)Ag(2+) redox couple: A biased Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics investigation

Ivano Tavernelli

Biased Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compute redox potential and free energy curves for the redox half reaction Ag(+)-->Ag(2+)+e(-) in aqueous solution. The potential energy surfaces of reactant and product state are line ...

Conditional Bit Error Rate for an Impulse Radio UWB Channel with Interfering Users

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

We consider a multi-user impulse radio UWB physical layer in a multipath environment. We propose a fast and efficient method to compute the conditional bit error rate (BER), given some realizations of the channels from source/interferer to destination, and ...
