Surface wettability control on zircaloy-4 by nanosecond Nd:YAG laser with beam homogenizer
AIP Advances, 2022 We introduce the laser-induced surface processing (LISP) method that imparts hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity using a Nd:YAG nanosecond laser, especially the high-fluence (HF) condition for fast processing and the low-fluence (LF) condition to control ...

Uniqueness, stability and global convergence for a discrete inverse elliptic Robin transmission problem [PDF]
Numerische Mathematik, 2019 We derive a simple criterion that ensures uniqueness, Lipschitz stability and global convergence of Newton’s method for the finite dimensional zero-finding problem of a continuously differentiable, pointwise convex and monotonic function.

Landau-De Gennes theory of nematic liquid\ud crystals: the Oseen-Frank limit and beyond [PDF]
, 2009 We study global minimizers of a continuum Landau-De Gennes energy functional for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional domains, subject to uniaxial boundary conditions.

Globalization, Convergence, and History [PDF]
The Journal of Economic History, 1996 There were three epochs of growth experience after the mid-nineteenth century for what is now called the OECD “club”: the late nineteenth century, the middle years between 1914 and 1950, and the late twentieth century. The first and last epochs were ones of overall fast growth, globalization, and convergence.

Continuous-time integral dynamics for Aggregative Game equilibrium seeking [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we consider continuous-time semi-decentralized dynamics for the equilibrium computation in a class of aggregative games. Specifically, we propose a scheme where decentralized projected-gradient dynamics are driven by an integral control ...

Global Continuous Optimization with Error Bound and Fast Convergence [PDF]
, 2015 This paper considers global optimization with a black-box unknown objective function that can be non-convex and non-differentiable. Such a difficult optimization problem arises in many real-world applications, such as parameter tuning in machine learning,

On convergence of the maximum block improvement method [PDF]
, 2015 . The MBI (maximum block improvement) method is a greedy approach to solving optimization problems where the decision variables can be grouped into a finite number of blocks. Assuming that optimizing over one block of variables while fixing all others is
