Fast parametric analysis of trimmed multi-patch isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells using a local reduced basis method

Annalisa Buffa, Pablo Antolin Sanchez, Margarita Chasapi

This contribution presents a model order reduction framework for real-time efficient solution of trimmed, multi-patch isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shells. In several scenarios, such as design and shape optimization, multiple simulations need to be performed ...

Stochastic homogenization of degenerate integral functionals with linear growth

Matthias Ruf

We study the limit behaviour of sequences of non-convex, vectorial, random integral functionals, defined on W1,1, whose integrands are ergodic and satisfy degenerate linear growth conditions. The latter involve suitable random, scale-dependent weight-funct ...

Stochastic distributed learning with gradient quantization and double-variance reduction

Sebastian Urban Stich, Konstantin Mishchenko

We consider distributed optimization over several devices, each sending incremental model updates to a central server. This setting is considered, for instance, in federated learning. Various schemes have been designed to compress the model updates in orde ...

Flow Time Scheduling and Prefix Beck-Fiala

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lars Rohwedder

We relate discrepancy theory with the classic scheduling problems of minimizing max flow time and total flow time on unrelated machines. Specifically, we give a general reduction that allows us to transfer discrepancy bounds in the prefix Beck-Fiala (bound ...

Singularities of general fibers and the LMMP

Zsolt Patakfalvi, Joseph Allen Waldron

We use the theory of foliations to study the relative canonical divisor of a normalized inseparable base-change. Our main technical theorem states that it is linearly equivalent to a divisor with positive integer coefficients divisible by p - 1. We deduce ...

On the Equivalence of Youla, System-Level, and Input-Output Parameterizations

Maryam Kamgarpour, Luca Furieri, Yu Zheng

A convex parameterization of internally stabilizing controllers is fundamental for many controller synthesis procedures. The celebrated Youla parameterization relies on a doubly coprime factorization of the system, while the recent system-level and input-o ...

A first-order primal-dual method with adaptivity to local smoothness

Volkan Cevher, Maria-Luiza Vladarean

We consider the problem of finding a saddle point for the convex-concave objective

\min_x \max_y f(x) + \langle Ax, y\rangle - g^*(y)

, where

f

is a convex function with locally Lipschitz gradient and

g

is convex and possibly non-smooth. We propose an ...

Critical Parameters for Scalable Distributed Learning with Large Batches and Asynchronous Updates

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Amirkeivan Mohtashami

It has been experimentally observed that the efficiency of distributed training with stochastic gradient (SGD) depends decisively on the batch size and—in asynchronous implementations—on the gradient staleness. Especially, it has been observed that the spe ...

Adaptation in Stochastic Algorithms: From Nonsmooth Optimization to Min-Max Problems and Beyond

Ahmet Alacaoglu

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and randomized coordinate descent (RCD) are two of the workhorses for training modern automated decision systems. Intriguingly, convergence properties of these methods are not well-established as we move away from the spec ...

Deep Boltzmann Machines: Rigorous Results at Arbitrary Depth

Emanuele Mingione, Diego Alberici

A class of deep Boltzmann machines is considered in the simplified framework of a quenched system with Gaussian noise and independent entries. The quenched pressure of a K-layers spin glass model is studied allowing interactions only among consecutive laye ...
