For a Hamiltonian matrix with purely imaginary eigenvalues, we aim to determine the nearest Hamiltonian matrix such that some or all eigenvalues leave the imaginary axis. Conversely, for a Hamiltonian matrix with all eigenvalues lying off the imaginary axi ...
Spontaneous symmetry breaking with necessity leads to the presence of Goldstone field(s). In the case of scale or conformal symmetries the corresponding Goldstone mode is called the dilaton. Consistently coupling a system to the dilaton poses certain diffi ...
A novel splitting scheme to solve parametric multi-convex programs is presented. It consists of a fixed number of proximal alternating minimisations and a dual update per time step, which makes it attractive in a real-time Nonlinear Model Predictive Contro ...
In this thesis we investigate the class of supramenable groups. In the first part we give an overview of some analogous characterizations of amenable and supramenable groups. This is followed by the study of two properties close to supramenability: megamen ...
For several computational problems in homotopy theory, we obtain algorithms with running time polynomial in the input size. In particular, for every fixed k >= 2, there is a polynomial-time algorithm that, for a 1-connected topological space X given as a f ...
This paper proposes a stability verification method for systems controlled by an early terminated first-order method (e.g., an MPC problem approximately solved by a fixed number of iterations of the fast gradient method). The method is based on the observa ...
We discuss three types of problems. The first one involves Jacobian equations and the two others involve Hessian equations. We proceed by fixed point, obtaining the results under a smallness assumption. ...
Physical computational devices leak side-channel information that may, and often does, reveal secret internal states. We present a general transformation that compiles any circuit into a circuit with the same functionality but resilience against well-defin ...
Parallel shear flows have continuous symmetries of translation in the downstream and spanwise directions. As a consequence, flow states that differ in their spanwise or downstream location but are otherwise identical are dynamically equivalent. In the case ...
A novel decomposition scheme to solve parametric non-convex programs as they arise in Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) is presented. It consists of a fixed number of alternating proximal gradient steps and a dual update per time step. Hence, the p ...
