Twisting instabilities in elastic ribbons with inhomogeneous pre-stress: A macroscopic analog of thermodynamic phase transition

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Michael Christopher Gomez

We study elastic ribbons subject to large, tensile pre-stress confined to a central region within the cross-section. These ribbons can buckle spontaneously to form helical shapes, featuring regions of alternating chirality (phases) that are separated by so ...

On the Efficiency of Polar-Like Decoding for Symmetric Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Kirill Ivanov

The recently introduced polar codes constitute a breakthrough in coding theory due to their capacity-achieving property. This goes hand in hand with a quasilinear construction, encoding, and successive cancellation list decoding procedures based on the Plo ...

Numerical Methods for First and Second Order Fully Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations

Dimitrios Gourzoulidis

This thesis focuses on the numerical analysis of partial differential equations (PDEs) with an emphasis on first and second-order fully nonlinear PDEs. The main goal is the design of numerical methods to solve a variety of equations such as orthogonal maps ...

Universal p'-central extensions

Jacques Thévenaz, Caroline Lassueur

It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...

Inference for Generalized Linear Models via Alternating Directions and Bethe Free Energy Minimization

Ulugbek Kamilov

Generalized linear models, where a random vector x is observed through a noisy, possibly nonlinear, function of a linear transform z = A x, arise in a range of applications in nonlinear filtering and regression. Approximate message passing (AMP) methods, b ...

The Minimal Faithful Permutation Degree For A Direct Product Obeying An Inequality Condition

Neil John Saunders

The minimal faithful permutation degree (G) of a finite group G is the least nonnegative integer n such that G embeds in the symmetric group Sym(n). Clearly (G x H) (G) + (H) for all finite groups G and H. In 1975, Wright ([10]) proved that equality occurs ...

Quasi-hereditary property of double Burnside algebras

Baptiste Thierry Pierre Rognerud

In this short note, we investigate some consequences of the vanishing of simple biset functors. As a corollary, if there is no non-trivial vanishing of simple biset functors (e.g., if the group G is commutative), then we show that kB(G,G) is a quasi-heredi ...

Optimizing doubly-resonant photonic crystal cavity modes for second harmonic generation

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

We optimize a photonic crystal slab for the generation of second harmonic. The optimization consists in two steps. In the first step a regular photonic crystal, consisting in a triangular lattice of circular holes in a dielectric slab, is optimized by allo ...

A decoupled and unconditionally convergent linear FEM integrator for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with magnetostriction

Jonathan Rochat

To describe and simulate dynamic micromagnetic phenomena, we consider a coupled system of the non-linear Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and the conservation of momentum equation. This coupling allows one to include magnetostrictive effects into the simul ...
