On Type-I singularities in Ricci flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
07.02.13 KB. Accepted version ok to add to Spiral. IP/Sherpa.We define several notions of singular set for Type I Ricci flows and show that they all coincide.

A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity

Comparing policy gradient and value function based reinforcement learning methods in simulated electrical power trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In electrical power engineering, reinforcement learning algorithms can be used to model the strategies of electricity market participants. However, traditional value function based reinforcement learning algorithms suffer from convergence issues when ...

Accelerating Variance-Reduced Stochastic Gradient Methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Variance reduction is a crucial tool for improving the slow convergence of stochastic gradient descent. Only a few variance-reduced methods, however, have yet been shown to directly benefit from Nesterov’s acceleration techniques to match the convergence

Randomized gradient-free methods in convex optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
This review presents modern gradient-free methods to solve convex optimization problems. By gradient-free methods, we mean those that use only (noisy) realizations of the objective value.

Multi-element stochastic reduced basis methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents mutli-element Stochastic Reduced Basis Methods (ME-SRBMs) for solving linear stochastic partial differential equations. In ME-SRBMs, the domain of definition of the random inputs is decomposed into smaller subdomains or random ...

An approach to nonlinear viscoelasticity via metric gradient flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We formulate quasistatic nonlinear finite-strain viscoelasticity of rate type as a gradient system. Our focus is on nonlinear dissipation functionals and distances that are related to metrics on weak diffeomorphisms and that ensure time-dependent frame ...

Effectiveness and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in elderly people with severe aortic stenosis with different types of heart failure

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background Impaired left ventricular function is an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short-term changes of echocardiographic parameters, New York Heart ...
