The time-domain Cartesian multipole expansion of electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Elias Per Joachim Le Boudec, Nicolas Mora Parra, Chaouki Kasmi, Emanuela Radici

Time-domain solutions of Maxwell’s equations in homogeneous and isotropic media are paramount to studying transient or broadband phenomena. However, analytical solutions are generally unavailable for practical applications, while numerical solutions are co ...

Differential Entropy of the Conditional Expectation Under Additive Gaussian Noise

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Alper Köse, Ahmet Arda Atalik

The conditional mean is a fundamental and important quantity whose applications include the theories of estimation and rate-distortion. It is also notoriously difficult to work with. This paper establishes novel bounds on the differential entropy of the co ...

Differential Entropy of the Conditional Expectation under Gaussian Noise

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Alper Köse, Ahmet Arda Atalik

This paper considers an additive Gaussian noise channel with arbitrarily distributed finite variance input signals. It studies the differential entropy of the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimator and provides a new lower bound which connects the diff ...

Robust Differentiable SVD

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Zheng Dang, Wei Wang, Yinlin Hu

Eigendecomposition of symmetric matrices is at the heart of many computer vision algorithms. However, the derivatives of the eigenvectors tend to be numerically unstable, whether using the SVD to compute them analytically or using the Power Iteration (PI) ...

Maximum-likelihood estimation of kinetic parameters via the extent-based incremental approach

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter, Diogo Filipe Mateus Rodrigues

For lumped homogeneous reaction systems, this paper presents a kinetic model identification scheme that provides maximum-likelihood parameter estimates and guarantees convergence to global optimality. The use of the extent-based incremental approach allows ...

Bold Signal Deconvolution Under Uncertain HÆModynamics: A Semi-Blind Approach

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Fikret Isik Karahanoglu, Younes Farouj

The investigation of spontaneous and evoked neuronal activity from functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has come to play a significant role in deepening our understanding of brain function. As this research trend continues, activity detection ...

Asian option pricing with orthogonal polynomials

Sander Félix M Willems

In this paper we derive a series expansion for the price of a continuously sampled arithmetic Asian option in the Black-Scholes setting. The expansion is based on polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to the log-normal distribution. All terms in the ...

Visual Distortions in 360-degree Videos

Pascal Frossard, Roberto Gerson De Albuquerque Azevedo, Francesca De Simone

Omnidirectional (or 360-degree) images and videos are emergent signals in many areas such as robotics and virtual/augmented reality. In particular, for virtual reality, they allow an immersive experience in which the user is provided with a 360-degree fiel ...

Learning without Smoothness and Strong Convexity

Yen-Huan Li

Recent advances in statistical learning and convex optimization have inspired many successful practices. Standard theories assume smoothness---bounded gradient, Hessian, etc.--- and strong convexity of the loss function. Unfortunately, such conditions may ...

An Analytical Model for Beam Flexure Modules Based on Timoshenko Beam Theory

Simon Nessim Henein, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Short beams are the key building blocks in many compliant mechanisms. Hence, deriving a simple yet accurate model of their elastokinematics is an important issue. Since the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory fails to accurately model these beams, we use the Timos ...
