Several kinds of Stability of efficient Solutions in Vector Trajectorial discrete Optimization Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This work was partially supported by DAAD, Fundamental Researches Foundation of Belarus and International Soros Science Education Program We consider a vector discrete optimization problem on a system of non- empty subsets (trajectories) of a finite set.

Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part I-an examination of cancellous bone architecture in the hindlimb bones of theropods. [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
This paper is the first of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous (‘spongy’) bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extinct ...

Cancellous bone and theropod dinosaur locomotion. Part II-a new approach to inferring posture and locomotor biomechanics in extinct tetrapod vertebrates. [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
This paper is the second of a three-part series that investigates the architecture of cancellous bone in the main hindlimb bones of theropod dinosaurs, and uses cancellous bone architectural patterns to infer locomotor biomechanics in extinct non-avian ...

A Semi-Lagrangian scheme for a modified version of the Hughes model for pedestrian flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we present a Semi-Lagrangian scheme for a regularized version of the Hughes model for pedestrian flow. Hughes originally proposed a coupled nonlinear PDE system describing the evolution of a large pedestrian group trying to exit a domain as

Propagation of chaos and Poincar\'e inequalities for a system of particles interacting through their cdf [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the particular case of a concave flux function, we are interested in the long time behaviour of the nonlinear process associated to the one-dimensional viscous scalar conservation law.

Long-time convergence of an adaptive biasing force method: Variance reduction by Helmholtz projection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper, we propose an improvement of the adaptive biasing force (ABF) method, by projecting the estimated mean force onto a gradient. The associated stochastic process satisfies a non linear stochastic differential equation.

A formal view on 2.5 large deviations and fluctuation relations

open access: yes, 2015
We obtain the rate function for the level 2.5 of large deviations for pure jump and diffusion processes. This result is proved by two methods: tilting, for which a tilted process with an appropriate typical behavior is considered, and a spectral method ...

Optimal scaling for the transient phase of the random walk Metropolis algorithm: The mean-field limit

open access: yes, 2015
We consider the random walk Metropolis algorithm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with Gaussian proposals, and when the target probability measure is the $n$-fold product of a one-dimensional law. In the limit $n\to\infty$, it is well known (see [Ann. Appl. Probab.

On the spectral analysis of second-order Markov chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
36 pagesInternational audienceSecond order Markov chains which are trajectorially reversible are considered. Contrary to the reversibility notion for usual Markov chains, no symmetry property can be deduced for the corresponding transition operators ...
