Exploring the interoperability of remote GPGPU virtualization using rCUDA and directive-based programming models

Directive-based programming models, such as OpenMP, OpenACC, and OmpSs, enable users to accelerate applications by using coprocessors with little effort. These devices offer significant computing power, but their use can introduce two problems: an increase ...

Robust Portfolio Optimization

Zheng Wei Yap

Since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the financial market has become more unpredictable than ever before, and it seems set to remain so in the forseeable future. This means an investor faces unprecedented risks, hence the increasing need for robust port ...

Gauging nonrelativistic field theories using the coset construction

Alexander Monin, Georgios Karananas

We discuss how nonrelativistic spacetime symmetries can be gauged in the context of the coset construction. We consider theories invariant under the centrally extended Galilei algebra as well as the Lifshitz one, and we investigate under what conditions th ...

A vector field method on the distorted Fourier side and decay for wave equations with potentials

Joachim Krieger, Roland Donninger

We study the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional wave equation

\partial_t^2 u(t,x)-\partial_x^2 u(t,x)+V(x)u(t,x)=0.

The potential

V

is assumed to be smooth with asymptotic behavior

V(x)\sim -\tfrac14 |x|^{-2}\mbox{ as } |x|\to \infty.

On the Continuous Steering of the Scale of Tight Wavelet Frames

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Zsuzsanna Püspöki, John Paul Ward

In analogy with steerable wavelets, we present a general construction of adaptable tight wavelet frames, with an emphasis on scaling operations. In particular, the derived wavelets can be "dilated" by a procedure comparable to the operation of steering ste ...

Quantum critical scaling for a Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain around saturation

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Mingee Chung

We demonstrate quantum critical scaling for an S = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain compound Cu(C4H4N2)(NO3)(2) in a magnetic field around saturation, by analyzing previously reported magnetization [Y. Kono et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 037202 (2015) ...

Wavelet Statistics of Sparse and Self-Similar Images

Michaël Unser, Julien René Pierre Fageot, Emrah Bostan

It is well documented that natural images are compressible in wavelet bases and tend to exhibit fractal properties. In this paper, we investigate statistical models that mimic these behaviors. We then use our models to make predictions on the statistics of ...

Decoding the Population Activity of Grid Cells for Spatial Localization and Goal-Directed Navigation

Alexander Mathis

Mammalian grid cells fire whenever an animal crosses the points of an imaginary, hexagonal grid tessellating the environment. Here, we show how animals can localize themselves and navigate by reading-out a simple population vector of grid cell activity acr ...

Influence of geometry shape factor on trapping and flushing efficiencies

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The trap efficiency of a shallow reservoir depends on the characteristics of the inflowing sediments and the retention time of the water in the reservoir, which in turn are controlled by the reservoir geometry. With the purpose of controlling the trapped a ...

Punching of flat slabs supported on rectangular columns

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Juan Sagaseta Albajar, Luca Tassinari

This paper investigates the structural behaviour of RC flat slabs supported on rectangular interior columns and the influence of the loading conditions (one or two-way bending) on their punching shear strength. The punching shear strength of slabs at recta ...
