New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Javier García Hernández, Bettina Schaefli, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Deterministic Algorithms for Submodular Maximization Problems

Moran Feldman

Randomization is a fundamental tool used in many theoretical and practical areas of computer science. We study here the role of randomization in the area of submodular function maximization. In this area, most algorithms are randomized, and in almost all c ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Quantifying uncertain system outputs via the multilevel Monte Carlo method – Part I: Central moment estimation

Fabio Nobile, Sebastian Krumscheid, Michele Pisaroni

In this work we introduce and analyze a novel multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC) estimator for the accurate approximation of central moments of system outputs affected by uncertainties. Central moments play a central role in many disciplines to characterize a r ...

Deriving a load model for the braking force on road bridges: Comparison between a deterministic and a probabilistic approach

Katrin Beyer, André-Gilles Dumont, Marc-Antoine Fénart, Glauco Feltrin

The current provisions for the braking force in the Eurocodes are much more demanding than previously enforced national codes from most European countries. Hence, safety assessments of existing bridges may show a lack of compliance with the new safety requ ...

Numerical methods for random and stochastic partial differential equations

Fabio Nobile

Mathematical models involving partial differential equations (PDE) arise in numerous applications ranging from Natural Sciences and Engineering to Economics. Random and stochastic PDE models become very powerful (and sometimes unavoidable) extensions of de ...

Error Analysis of the Dynamically Orthogonal Approximation of Time Dependent Random PDEs

Fabio Nobile, Eleonora Musharbash

In this work we discuss the dynamically orthogonal (DO) approximation of time dependent partial differential equations with random data. The approximate solution is expanded at each time instant on a time dependent orthonormal basis in the physical domain ...

Making BFT Protocols Really Adaptive

Rachid Guerraoui

Many state-machine Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocols have been introduced so far. Each protocol addressed a different subset of conditions and use-cases. However, if the underlying conditions of a service span different subsets, choosing a single pr ...

Randomized versus Deterministic Implementations of Concurrent Data Structures

Dan Alistarh

One of the key trends in computing over the past two decades has been increased distribution, both at the processor level, where multi-core architectures are now the norm, and at the system level, where many key services are currently distributed overmulti ...

Markov chains with discontinuous drifts have differential inclusion limits

Nicolas Gabriel Gast

In this paper, we study deterministic limits of Markov processes having discontinuous drifts. While most results assume that the limiting dynamics is continuous, we show that these conditions are not necessary to prove convergence to a deterministic system ...
