In this thesis we study calculus of variations for differential forms. In the first part we develop the framework of direct methods of calculus of variations in the context of minimization problems for functionals of one or several differential forms of th ...
The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...
Spectral prediction models are widely used for characterizing classical, almost transparent ink halftones printed on a diffuse substrate. Metallic-ink prints however reflect a significant portion of light in the specular direction. Due to their opaque natu ...
In Control System Theory, the study of continuous-time, finite dimensional, underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations is an important topic. Classification of systems in different categories is a natural initial step to the analysis of a g ...
Detection of defective members of large populations has been widely studied in the statistics community under the name ``group testing'', a problem which dates back to World War~II when it was suggested for syphilis screening. There the main interest is to ...
Large-scale classical and quantum simulations are used to generate a-Si: H structures. The bond-resolved density of the occupied electron states discloses the nature of microscopic defects responsible for levels in the gap. Highly strained bonds give rise ...
Good quality ab initio calcns. (MP2) show that the water adducts of BX3 and CX3+ have totally different structures (X = F-I). While all H2O-BX3 complexes have classical Cs sym. structures with strong B-O bonds and addnl. H-bonding, the heavier CX3+ cations ...
The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...
Recent Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) experiments in TORE SUPRA and JET are reported. Large multijunction launchers have allowed the coupling of 5 MW to the plasma for several seconds with a maximum of 3.8 kw/cm2. Measurements of the scattering matrices ...
When Massive Open Online Courses became a hot topic in Europe. The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) decided to take the challenge and launched an internal call for proposals. At the Geodetic Engineering Lab, we saw a possibility to use conta ...
