Assembling a True “Olympic Gel” From over 16 000 Combinatorial DNA Rings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Olympic gels are an elusive class of soft matter, consisting of molecular networks held together purely by mechanically interlocked rings. Their topological structure promises unique properties and functions, but their synthesis has proven notoriously difficult.

Ultra‐Confinement of Polaritons in Single Atomic Layer Ag Photonic Quantum Dots

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Strong confinement of surface phonon polaritons of silicon carbide was achieved in photonic quantum dots fabricated from van der Waals heterostructure of epitaxial graphene over single‐atomic layer silver. Scattering‐type scanning near‐field optical microscopy combined with an analytical approach, developed to reveal local propagation constants with ...

On the Local Convergence of Pattern Search [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization, 2003
The authors consider local convergence properties of pattern search as a class of direct search methods for solving nonlinear programming problems. For simplicity, only the unconstrained case \(\min_{x\in\mathbb{R}^n}\,f(x)\) is considered. Numerical tests are given.

Locally Convergent Nonlinear Observers

SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2003
Summary: We introduce a new method for the design of observers for nonlinear systems using backstepping. The method is applicable to a class of nonlinear systems slightly larger than those treated by \textit{J. P. Gauthier, H. Hammouri}, and \textit{S. Othman} [IEEE Trans. Autom. Control 37, 875--880 (1992; Zbl 0775.93020)].

On the Local Convergence of Update Methods

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 1974
This paper concerns a class of update methods, or, as they are also called, quasi-Newton methods, variable metric methods, or modification methods. A general theory of rank-one and symmetric rank-two update formulas is presented which covers many of the special methods proposed in the literature.
