Multimodularity, Convexity, and Optimization Properties [PDF]
Mathematics of Operations Research, 2000 In this paper we investigate the properties of multimodular functions. In doing so we give elementary proofs for properties already established by Hajek and we generalize some of his results. In particular, we extend the relation between convexity and multimodularity to some convex subsets of ℤm. We also obtain general optimization results for average

Convex Discrete Optimization [PDF]
, 2008 We develop an algorithmic theory of convex optimization over discrete sets. Using a combination of algebraic and geometric tools we are able to provide polynomial time algorithms for solving broad classes of convex combinatorial optimization problems and convex integer programming problems in variable dimension. We discuss some of the many applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Contracting proximal methods for smooth convex optimization
, 2019 In this paper, we propose new accelerated methods for smooth Convex Optimization, called Contracting Proximal Methods. At every step of these methods, we need to minimize a contracted version of the objective function augmented by a regularization term ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The wettability of aluminum droplets (Al) on different copper substrates (Cu), where liquid Al spreads on solid Cu surfaces to form a liquid–solid interface, is studied numerically and experimentally. The experimental and numerical results show good agreement in the fast‐spreading regime.

Robust Spot Melting by 3D Spot Arrangements in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work proposes an approach to replace separately melted contours for spot melting in electron beam powder fusion. Adapting the spot arrangements close to the contour combined with stacking yields a comparable surface quality without the inherent challenges of separate contours, as demonstrated, by electron optical images and roughness measurements.

Convex approximations for complete integer recourse models [PDF]
, 2002 We consider convex approximations of the expected value function of a two-stage integer recourse problem. The convex approximations are obtained by perturbing the distribution of the random right-hand side vector.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A novel workflow for investigating hydride vapor phase epitaxy for GaN bulk crystal growth is proposed. It combines Design of experiments (DoE) with physical simulations of mass transport and crystal growth kinetics, serving as an intermediate step between DoE and experiments.

Distributed Convex Optimization with Many Convex Constraints
CoRR, 2016 We address the problem of solving convex optimization problems with many convex constraints in a distributed setting. Our approach is based on an extension of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) that recently gained a lot of attention in the Big Data context.
