Many geometric optimization problems can be reduced to finding points in space (centers) minimizing an objective function which continuously depends on the distances from the centers to given input points. Examples are $k$-Means, Geometric…
We deal with the Cauchy problem for multi-dimensional scalar conservation laws, where the fluxes and the source terms can be discontinuous functions of the unknown. The main novelty of the paper is the introduction of a~kinetic formulation…
Loop closures are essential for correcting odometry drift and creating consistent maps, especially in the context of large-scale navigation. Current methods using dense point clouds for accurate place recognition do not scale well due to…
Comparing and recognizing metrics can be extraordinarily difficult because of the group of diffeomorphisms. Two metrics, that could even be the same, could look completely different in different coordinates. This is the gauge problem. The…
The homotopy continuation method has been widely used in solving parametric systems of nonlinear equations. But it can be very expensive and inefficient due to singularities during the tracking even though both start and end points are…
We find conditions under which Almgren-Pitts min-max for the prescribed geodesic curvature functional in a closed oriented Riemannian surface produces a closed embedded curve of constant curvature. In particular, we find a closed embedded…
We consider the problem of robotic planning under uncertainty in this paper. This problem may be posed as a stochastic optimal control problem, a solution to which is fundamentally intractable owing to the infamous "curse of…
For the dynamics of a discontinuous map on a compact metric space, we describe an approach using suitable closed relations and connect it with the continuous dynamics on an invariant G-delta subset and with the continuous dynamics on the…
We study the problem of detecting zeros of continuous functions that are known only up to an error bound, extending the earlier theoretical work with explicit algorithms and experiments with an implementation. More formally, the robustness…
This study first defines a new metric with normal structure on C(H,K) and then a new technique to prove fixed point theorems for families of non-expansive maps on this metric space. Indeed, it shows that the presence of a bounded orbit…
Stochastic physical problems governed by nonlinear conservation laws are challenging due to solution discontinuities in stochastic and physical space. In this paper, we present a level set method to track discontinuities in stochastic space…
Douglas-Rachford Splitting (DRS) methods based on the proximal point algorithms for the Poisson and Gaussian log-likelihood functions are proposed for ptychography and phase retrieval. Fixed point analysis shows that the DRS iterated…
We shall firstly study the existence of one positive solution of a model problem for one equation via the classical Krasnosel'ski\u\i{} fixed-point theorem. Secondly we investigate how to handle this problem via the fixed point index theory…
The locally modified finite element method, which is introduced in [Frei, Richter: SINUM 52(2014), p. 2315-2334], is a simple fitted finite element method that is able to resolve weak discontinuities in interface problems. The method is…
In the first part of this paper, we extend the result of Li-Wang on the linearized embedding problem to a compact manifold of arbitrary dimension. Using this, we then show that any metric perturbation of a embedded $n$-sphere is also…
We apply pseudo-spectral methods to construct global solutions of functional renormalisation group equations in field space to high accuracy. For this, we introduce a basis to resolve both finite as well as asymptotic regions of effective…
We present for the first time an explicit, complete and closed-form solution to the three-dimensional problem of two fixed centres, based on Weierstrass elliptic and related functions. With respect to previous treatments of the problem, our…
In this paper, a PDE-ODE model with discontinuity in the flux as well as a flux constraint is analyzed. A modified Riemann solution is proposed and the existence of a weak solution to the Cauchy problem is rigorously investigated using the…
In this article, we discuss fixed point results for $(\varepsilon,\lambda)$-uniformly locally contractive self mapping defined on $\varepsilon$-chainable $G$-metric type spaces. In particular, we show that under some more general…
We study the Lorentzian Calder\'on problem, where the objective is to determine a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian metric up to a boundary fixing diffeomorphism from boundary measurements given by the hyperbolic Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. This…
