We introduce new results about the shape derivatives of scalar- and vector-valued functions, extending the results from (Dogan-Nochetto 2012) to more general surface energies. They consider surface energies defined as integrals over…
Automatic differentiation is everywhere, but there exists only minimal documentation of how it works in complex arithmetic beyond stating "derivatives in $\mathbb{C}^d$" $\cong$ "derivatives in $\mathbb{R}^{2d}$" and, at best, shallow…

Shape optimization approaches to inverse design offer low-dimensional, physically-guided parameterizations of structures by representing them as combinations of shape primitives. However, on discretized rectilinear simulation grids,…
We propose a new approach to heap analysis through an abstract domain of automata, called automatic shapes. The abstract domain uses a particular kind of automata, called quantified data automata on skinny trees (QSDAs), that allows to…
In this short note, we propose an unified method to derive formulas for derivations conjugated by exponential functions on an almost complex manifold. In v3, we corrected some mistakes in previous versions.
We aim at computing the derivative of the solution to a parametric optimization problem with respect to the involved parameters. For a class broader than that of strongly convex functions, this can be achieved by automatic differentiation…
Building on the observation that reverse-mode automatic differentiation (AD) -- a generalisation of backpropagation -- can naturally be expressed as pullbacks of differential 1-forms, we design a simple higher-order programming language…
We show how to use extended word series in the reduction of continuous and discrete dynamical systems to normal form and in the computation of formal invariants of motion in Hamiltonian systems. The manipulations required involve complex…
A simple theory of the covariant derivatives, deformed derivatives and relative covariant derivatives of multivector and multiform fields is presented using algebraic and analytical tools developed in previous papers.
Weighted pushdown automata (WPDAs) are at the core of many natural language processing tasks, like syntax-based statistical machine translation and transition-based dependency parsing. As most existing dynamic programming algorithms are…

Extracting finite state automata (FSAs) from black-box models offers a powerful approach to gaining interpretable insights into complex model behaviors. To support this pursuit, we present a weighted variant of Angluin's (1987)…
