Extended Formulations in Mixed-integer Convex Programming

open access: yes, 2016
We present a unifying framework for generating extended formulations for the polyhedral outer approximations used in algorithms for mixed-integer convex programming (MICP).

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Convex Approximation Algorithm for AC/DC Distribution Network With Energy Router

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
The optimal operation model of AC/DC distribution network with energy router (ER) is essentially a nonconvex nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. In order to improve the feasibility of solving the model, a convex approximation algorithm is proposed in ...

Sequential Convex Programming Methods for A Class of Structured Nonlinear Programming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we study a broad class of structured nonlinear programming (SNLP) problems. In particular, we first establish the first-order optimality conditions for them.

A Non‐Reciprocal Architected Porous Medium

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In several fluid flow, energy‐dumping, and energy‐harvesting applications, a dominant flow direction or dominant resistance direction is desirable. In this study, we propose a simple modular geometry that doubles flow resistance in one direction relative to the opposite direction, while maintaining laminar viscous flow.

The Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip, or 2 × 2D = Pseudo‐3D—Approaching 3D Cell Morphology and Organization between Two Opposing 2D Substrates with Cell‐Adhesive Protein Micropatterns

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we present a novel 3D cell patterning and culture platform. The “Floor‐Ceiling‐Chip” (FC‐Chip) consists of two opposing track‐etched membranes, creating a pseudo‐3D microenvironment for the cells in between. By providing the membranes with micropatterned cell‐adhesive islands of varying geometries and sizes, the FC‐Chip enables control over cell ...

Some procedures for solving special max-min fractional rank-two reverse-convex programming problems

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2004
In this paper we suggest some procedures for solving two special classes of \(\max\)-\(\min\) fractional reverse-convex programs. We show that a special bilinear fractional max-min reverse-convex program can be solved by a linear reverse-convex ...

A D.C. Algorithm via Convex Analysis Approach for Solving a Location Problem Involving Sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We study a location problem that involves a weighted sum of distances to closed convex sets. As several of the weights might be negative, traditional solution methods of convex optimization are not applicable.

Stable Camera Motion Estimation Using Convex Programming

open access: yes, 2015
We study the inverse problem of estimating n locations $t_1, ..., t_n$ (up to global scale, translation and negation) in $R^d$ from noisy measurements of a subset of the (unsigned) pairwise lines that connect them, that is, from noisy measurements of ...

A Modular Bioinstructive Platform Reveals Mechanistic Insights into Additive‐Free, Topography‐Driven Osteogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered microparticle topographies direct human mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis without biochemical additives. This osteogenic commitment is driven by canonical Hedgehog signaling and followed by temporal IGF‐II engagement. Two‐photon polymerization demonstrates spatial control, enabling the engineering of topographical gradients that pattern ...
