Cash Holdings and Competition

Erwan Morellec, Boris Nikolov, Francesca Maria Zucchi

We use a dynamic cash management model in which firms face competitive pressure to show that product market competition increases the cash holdings as well as the size and frequency of equity issues of financially constrained firms. We test these predictio ...

Reduced Models for Optimal Control, Shape Optimization and Inverse Problems in Haemodynamics

Andrea Manzoni

The objective of this thesis is to develop reduced models for the numerical solution of optimal control, shape optimization and inverse problems. In all these cases suitable functionals of state variables have to be minimized. State variables are solutions ...

Design optimization and dynamic analysis of a tensegrity-based footbridge

Ian Smith, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Alberto Pascual Albi

Tensegrity structures are spatial structural systems composed of struts and cables with pin-jointed connections. Their stability is provided by the self-stress state in tensioned and compressed members. Although much progress has been made in advancing res ...

Optimizing Control Based on Output Feedback

Dominique Bonvin, Sébastien Gros

In the framework of process optimization, the use of measurements to compensate the effect of uncertainty has re-emerged as an active area of research. One of the ideas therein is to adapt the inputs in order to track the active constraints and push certai ...

A novel multiple objective optimization framework for constraining conductance-based neuron models by experimental data

Henry Markram, Idan Segev

We present a novel framework for automatically constraining parameters of compartmental models of neurons, given a large set of experimentally-measured responses of these neurons. In experiments, intrinsic noise gives rise to a large variability (e.g., in ...
