A new finite element method for the efficient discretization of elliptic homogenization problems is proposed. These problems, characterized by data varying over a wide range of scales cannot be easily solved by classical numerical methods that need mesh re ...
We analyze the influence of near-field coupling on the formation of collective plasmon modes in a multilayer metallic nanowire array. It is shown that the spectral interference between super- and subradiant normal modes results in characteristic line shape ...
This paper reports the result of the cooperation between KUL and EPFL on the numerical integration of Sommerfeld integrals (SI). Each institution is well-known for developing specific techniques suited for the evaluation of SI: double-exponential quadratur ...
We study the use and impact of a dictionary in a tomographic reconstruction setup. First, we build two different dictionaries: one using a set of bases functions (Discrete Cosine Transform), and the other that is learned using patches extracted from traini ...

Are self-healing database-centric multitier services utopia or just a hard puzzle? We argue for the latter and aim to identify the missing pieces of this puzzle. We advocate robust and scalable learning-based approaches to self-healing that we expect to wo ...
We address two fundamental issues associated with the use of cross-nested logit models. On the one hand, we justify the adequate normalization of the model proposed by Wen and Koppelman (2001). On the other hand, we provide an analysis of the correlation s ...
A novel method is presented for the systematic identification of the minimum requirements regarding mathematical pre-treatment, a priori information, or experimental design, in order to allow optimising rate constants and pure component spectra associated ...
This paper presents an efficient method to decide robust grasps given new objects using example-based learning. A robust grasp is a stable grasp, suitable for object manipulation. Adaptability to object manipulation is ensured by imitating the human choice ...
The numerical analysis of a dynamic constrained optimization problem is presented. It consists of a global minimization problem that is coupled with a system of ordinary differential equations. The activation and the deactivation of inequality constraints ...
