The need to maintain and expand hydraulic structures is a major challenge for the coming energy transition, especially in Western countries. One technique already widespread allowing to meet these issues consists in the use of geomembranes to overcome prob ...
We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell-Lang conjecture of the author's p-adic formal Manin-Mumford results for n-dimensional p-divisible formal groups F. In particular, given a finitely generated subgroup (sic) of F(Q(p)) and a close ...
Designing digital circuits well is notoriously difficult. This difficulty stems in part from the very
many degrees of freedom inherent in circuit design, typically coupled with the need to satisfy
various constraints. In this thesis, we demonstrate how for ...
This paper examines the minimization of the cost for an expected random production output, given an assembly of finished goods from two random inputs, matched in two categories. We describe the optimal input portfolio, first using the standard normal appro ...
Many natural optimization problems are NP-hard, which implies that they are probably hard to solve exactly in the worst-case. However, it suffices to get reasonably good solutions for all (or even most) instances in practice. This paper presents a new algo ...
Quantum compilation is the task of translating a quantum algorithm implemented in a high-level quantum programming language into a technology-dependent instructions flow for a physical quantum computer. To tackle the large gap between the quantum program a ...
A representation of a Boolean function is canonical if, given a variable order, only one instance of the representation is possible for the function. A computation is canonical if the result depends only on the Boolean function and a variable order, and do ...
In this work we propose a new, general and computationally cheap way to tackle parametrized PDEs defined on domains with variable shape when relying on the reduced basis method. We easily describe a domain by boundary parametrizations, and obtain domain de ...
The atomic distribution in crystal structures becomes very complex if atoms are disordered and randomly distributed over positions not being fully occupied. Interatomic distances between neighboring atoms might be too close for simultaneous occupancies and ...
Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are fundamental in heterogeneous catalysis because of their ability to store or release oxygen depending on the ambient conditions. Their oxygen storage capacity is strictly related to the exposed planes, crystallinity, density an ...
