Stochastic variance reduced gradient method for linear ill-posed inverse problems [PDF]
arXivIn this paper we apply the stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG) method, which is a popular variance reduction method in optimization for accelerating the stochastic gradient method, to solve large scale linear ill-posed systems in Hilbert spaces.

Partiality and Recursion in Higher-order Logic [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 We present an illative system I_s of classical higher-order logic with subtyping and basic inductive types. The system I_s allows for direct definitions of partial and general recursive functions, and provides means for handling functions whose termination has not been proven.

Biomimetic Dynamics of Nanoscale Groove and Ridge Topography for Stem Cell Regulation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Dynamic nanoscale groove‐ridge structures are engineered by flexibly conjugating RGD‐magnetic nanoparticles to nanogroove templates with variable groove widths at the molecular scale. Magnetic control enables cyclic switching between nanoscale groove and ridge states that modulates ligand accessibility of cellular integrins.

Premium valuation for a multiple state model containing manifold premium-paid states [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The aim of this contribution is to derive a general matrix formula for the net period premium paid in more than one state. For this purpose we propose to combine actuarial technics with the graph optimization methodology. The obtained result is useful for example to more advanced models of dread disease insurances allowing period premiums paid by both ...

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 13, April 2, 2025.Metal‐covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) are novel porous materials that exhibit the advantages of covalent and metal‐organic frameworks. However, it is extremely difficult to resolve their atomic structure and better understand their structure‐properties relation. This work utilizes a synergistic combination of advanced microscopy, spectroscopic, and

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Unique nanopillar metasurfaces are fabricated for the purpose of sensitive detection to refractive index changes in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The addition of these nanoparticles to the surface of the silicon nanopillars is facilitated via a novel antibiotic‐mediated linker system to promote localized surface plasmon effects resulting from Mie

Behavioral Portfolio Selection in Continuous Time [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 This paper formulates and studies a general continuous-time behavioral portfolio selection model under Kahneman and Tversky's (cumulative) prospect theory, featuring S-shaped utility (value) functions and probability distortions. Unlike the conventional expected utility maximization model, such a behavioral model could be easily mis-formulated (a.k.a ...
