Fast local convergence for flow topology optimization using the lattice Boltzmann method with a modified Newton method

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
We propose a Newton-gradient-hybrid optimization method for fluid topology optimization. The method accelerates convergence and reduces computation time. In addition, the fluid-solid boundaries are clearly distinguished.

Algorithms for Positive Semidefinite Factorization

open access: yes, 2017
This paper considers the problem of positive semidefinite factorization (PSD factorization), a generalization of exact nonnegative matrix factorization. Given an $m$-by-$n$ nonnegative matrix $X$ and an integer $k$, the PSD factorization problem consists

Some eigenvalue inequalities for positive semidefinite matrix power products

open access: yesLinear Algebra and its Applications, 1993
The authors study the eigenvalues of positive semidefinite matrix power products and prove some inequalities, which are mostly in terms of majorization. In particular, if \(A,B\geq 0\), \(\beta>\alpha>0\) it is proved that \(\log\lambda^{1/\alpha}(A^ \alpha B^ \alpha)\prec\log\lambda^{1/\beta}(A^ \beta B^ \beta)\).

When wine walked into grocery stores: Examining the (un)intended economic consequences of wine Sale reform in Tennessee

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Alcohol policy liberalization is a contentious issue in the United States, including debates over whether grocery stores should be allowed to sell wine. This issue reflects a dilemma between accommodating consumer convenience, promoting wine industry growth, and generating tax revenue, versus concerns about potential harm to liquor stores ...

Fixed-Rank Approximation of a Positive-Semidefinite Matrix from Streaming Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Several important applications, such as streaming PCA and semidefinite programming, involve a large-scale positive-semidefinite (psd) matrix that is presented as a sequence of linear updates.

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Symmetric Positive Semi-Definite Fourier Estimator of Spot Covariance Matrix with High Frequency Data

open access: yesRisks
This paper proposes a nonparametric estimator of the spot volatility matrix with high-frequency data. Our newly proposed Positive Definite Fourier (PDF) estimator produces symmetric positive semi-definite estimates and is consistent with a suitable ...

Ethnic Conflicts, Civil War, and Economic Growth: Region‐Level Evidence From Former Yugoslavia

open access: yesJournal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper studies the long‐term effects of the Yugoslav civil war (1987–1995) on subnational economic growth across 78 regions in five former Yugoslav republics from 1950 to 2015. We construct counterfactual growth trajectories using a robust region‐level donor pool from 32 conflict‐free countries.
