It turned out that the set of the fixed points is not necessarily the same as the set of the local minima of the energy functional. It depends on the diagonal elements of the connection matrix. The simple method which allows to cut off…

The total energy and electron addition and removal spectra can in principle be obtained exactly from the one-body Green's function. In practice, the Green's function is obtained from an approximate self-energy. In the framework of many-body…
A popular approach to the MAP inference problem in graphical models is to minimize an upper bound obtained from a dual linear programming or Lagrangian relaxation by (block-)coordinate descent. This is also known as convex/convergent…

Energy considerations can significantly affect the behavior of a population of energy-consuming agents with limited energy budgets, for instance, in the movement process of people in a city. We consider a population of interacting agents…
Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…
Recently, the progression toward more exact density functional theory has been questioned, implying a need for more formal ways to systematically measure progress, i.e. a path. Here I use the Hohenberg-Kohn theorems and the definition of…
This extended abstracts presents a method to generate energy-optimal trajectories for multi-agent systems as a strategic-form game. Using recent results in optimal control, we demonstrate that an energy-optimal trajectory can be generated…
In this paper we develop a Morse theory for the uniform energy. We use the one-sided directional derivative of the distance function to study the minimizing properties of variations through closed geodesics. This derivative is then used to…
We consider an ordinary differential equation with a unique hyperbolic attractor at the origin, to which we add a small random perturbation. It is known that under general conditions, the solution of this stochastic differential equation…
We prove local and global energy decay for the wave equation in a wave guide with damping at infinity. More precisely, the absorption index is assumed to converge slowly to a positive constant, and we obtain the diffusive phenomenon typical…
This paper addresses the regulation and trajectory-tracking problems for two classes of weakly coupled electromechanical systems. To this end, we formulate an energy-based model for these systems within the port-Hamiltonian framework. Then,…
We prove a Gamma-convergence result for an energy functional related to some fractional powers of the Laplacian operator, with two singular perturbations (one in the interior and one on the boundary).
It has long been postulated that within density-functional theory (DFT) the total energy of a finite electronic system is convex with respect to electron count, so that 2 E_v[N_0] <= E_v[N_0 - 1] + E_v[N_0 + 1]. Using the…
We derive the explicit expression for the four-point correlation function of stress-energy tensors in four-dimensional N=4 superconformal theory. We show that it has a remarkably simple and suggestive form allowing us to predict a large…
Position-controlled systems driving repetitive tasks are of significant importance in industrial machinery. The electric actuators used in these systems are responsible for a large part of the global energy consumption, indicating that…
