Enhancing Entropy and Enthalpy Fluctuations to Drive Crystallization in Atomistic Simulations

Crystallization is a process of great practical relevance in which rare but crucial fluctuations lead to the formation of a solid phase starting from the liquid. As in all first order first transitions, there is an interplay between enthalpy and entropy. B ...

Existence and Non-uniqueness of Global Weak Solutions to Inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq Equations

Elisabetta Chiodaroli

We consider the initial value problem for the inviscid Primitive and Boussinesq equations in three spatial dimensions. We recast both systems as an abstract Eulertype system and apply the methods of convex integration of De Lellis and Székelyhidi to show t ...

Optimal Sensor Architecture Selection for Health Management of Complex Systems

Martin Vetterli, Juri Ranieri

With technological progress, humans tend to create engineering systems with constantly increasing complexity and higher operational requirements. Many complex systems require the use of a Health Management (HM) solution to ensure safety and enable lifecycl ...

A Dynamical System Approach for Catching Softly a Flying Object: Theory and Experiment

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Seyed Sina Mirrazavi Salehian

Catching a fast flying object is particularly challenging as consists of two tasks: it requires extremely precise estimation of the object’s motion and control of the robot motion. Any small imprecision may lead the fingers to close too abruptly and let th ...

Geometric phases in discrete dynamical systems

Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

In order to study the behaviour of discrete dynamical systems under adiabatic cyclic variations of their parameters, we consider discrete versions of adiabatically-rotated rotators. Parallelling the studies in continuous systems, we generalize the concept ...

Moment-sum-of-squares hierarchies for set approximation and optimal control

Milan Korda

This thesis uses the idea of lifting (or embedding) a nonlinear controlled dynamical system into an infinite-dimensional space of measures where this system is equivalently described by a linear equation. This equation and problems involving it are subsequ ...

Principal Patterns on Graphs: Discovering Coherent Structures in Datasets

Pierre Vandergheynst, Kirell Maël Benzi, Benjamin Ricaud

Graphs are now ubiquitous in almost every field of research. Recently, new research areas devoted to the analysis of graphs and data associated to their vertices have emerged. Focusing on dynamical processes, we propose a fast, robust and scalable framewor ...

Order/Disorder Dynamics in a Dodecanethiol-Capped Gold Nanoparticles Supracrystal by Small-Angle Ultrafast Electron Diffraction

Francesco Stellacci, Fabrizio Carbone, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Javier Reguera Gomez, Francesco Pennacchio

The design and the characterization of functionalized gold nanoparticles supracrystals require atomically resolved information on both the metallic core and the external organic ligand shell. At present, there is no known approach to characterize simultane ...

Large Scale Dynamic Models of Metabolism as a Tool for Analysis and Design of Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology Strategies

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Ljubisa Miskovic, Georgios Fengos

Large-scale dynamic models of metabolism remain an overarching ambition of efforts that aim to analyze and explain complex behavior of living entities. However, intrinsic nonlinearity of dynamics of living organisms and structural and quantitative uncertai ...
