Nonlinear simulation of plasma turbulence using a gyrokinetic moment-based approach

Plasma turbulence plays a fundamental role in determining the performances of magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks. Advances in computer science, combined with the development of efficient physical models, have significantly improved our u ...

Stochastic homogenization of degenerate integral functionals with linear growth

Matthias Ruf

We study the limit behaviour of sequences of non-convex, vectorial, random integral functionals, defined on W1,1, whose integrands are ergodic and satisfy degenerate linear growth conditions. The latter involve suitable random, scale-dependent weight-funct ...

Gyrokinetic moment-based simulations of the Dimits shift

Paolo Ricci, Baptiste Jimmy Frei, Antoine Cyril David Hoffmann

We present a convergence study of the gyromoment (GM) approach, which is based on projecting the gyrokinetic distribution function onto a Hermite–Laguerre polynomial basis, focused on the cyclone base case (CBC) (Lin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., vol. 83, no. ...

Fourier uniqueness and interpolation in Euclidean space

Martin Peter Stoller

We prove that every Schwartz function in Euclidean space can be completely recovered given only its restrictions and the restrictions of its Fourier transform to all origin-centered spheres whose radii are square roots of integers. In particular, the only ...

TV-based reconstruction of periodic functions

Julien René Pierre Fageot, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni

We introduce a general framework for the reconstruction of periodic multivariate functions from finitely many and possibly noisy linear measurements. The reconstruction task is formulated as a penalized convex optimization problem, taking the form of a sum ...

Four-dimensional drift-kinetic model for scrape-off layer plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A four-dimensional plasma model able to describe the scrape-off layer region of tokamak devices at arbitrary collisionality is derived in the drift-reduced limit. The basis of the model is provided by a drift-kinetic equation that retains the full nonlinea ...

Theory of the Drift-Wave Instability at Arbitrary Collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

Drift-waves (DW) are low-frequency modes that arise in a magnetized plasma when a finite pressure gradient is present. In order to become unstable, DW require some form of dissipation, such as finite resistivity, electron inertia or wave-particle resonance ...

Atom-density representations for machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, Félix Benedito Clément Musil, Michael John Willatt

This has led to a proliferation of alternative ways to convert an atomic structure into an input for a machine-learning model. We introduce an abstract definition of chemical environments that is based on a smoothed atomic density, using a bra-ket notation ...

Theory of the Drift-Wave Instability at Arbitrary Collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A numerically efficient framework that takes into account the effect of the Coulomb collision operator at arbitrary collisionalities is introduced. Such a model is based on the expansion of the distribution function on a Hermite-Laguerre polynomial basis t ...

A generalized mountain-pass theorem: the existence of multiple critical points

Hans-Jörg Ruppen

We analyse the existence of multiple critical points for an even functional J : H -> R in the following context: the Hilbert space H can be split into an orthogonal sum H = Y circle plus Z in such a way that inf{J(u) : u is an element of Z and parallel to ...
