Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Invariant Measure and Universality of the 2D Yang–Mills Langevin Dynamic
ABSTRACT We prove that the Yang–Mills (YM) measure for the trivial principal bundle over the two‐dimensional torus, with any connected, compact structure group, is invariant for the associated renormalised Langevin dynamic. Our argument relies on a combination of regularity structures, lattice gauge‐fixing and Bourgain's method for invariant measures ...

Multi space reduced basis preconditioners for parametrized partial differential equations [PDF]
The multiquery solution of parametric partial differential equations (PDEs), that is, PDEs depending on a vector of parameters, is computationally challenging and appears in several engineering contexts, such as PDE-constrained optimization, uncertainty ...

Wall–chamber decompositions for generalised Monge–Ampère equations
Abstract Generalised Monge–Ampère (gMA) equations form a large class of PDE including Donaldson's J‐equation, inverse Hessian equations, some supercritical deformed Hermitian–Yang–Mills (dHYM) equations and some Z‐critical equations. Solvability of these equations is characterised by numerical criteria involving intersection numbers over all ...

Adaptive meshing in two dimensions : refinement, coarsening and stability [PDF]
This thesis deals with adaptive meshes in two dimensions, which are used in, e.g., the numerical computation of solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs) and in computer graphics. This thesis consists of four research articles.

Cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Laplacian flow: Local, smoothly‐closing and steady solitons
Abstract We initiate a systematic study of cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Bryant's Laplacian flow of closed G2$\text{G}_2$‐structures on a 7‐manifold, motivated by the problem of understanding finite‐time singularities of that flow. Here, we focus on solitons with symmetry groups Sp(2)${\rm Sp}(2)$ and SU(3)${\rm SU}(3)$; in both cases, we prove the ...

A priori bounds for the generalised parabolic Anderson model
Abstract We show a priori bounds for solutions to (∂t−Δ)u=σ(u)ξ$(\partial _t - \Delta) u = \sigma (u) \xi$ in finite volume in the framework of Hairer's Regularity Structures [Invent Math 198:269–504, 2014]. We assume σ∈Cb2(R)$\sigma \in C_b^2 (\mathbb {R})$ and that ξ$\xi$ is of negative Hölder regularity of order −1−κ$- 1 - \kappa$ where κ<κ¯$\kappa <
