In Generalized Linear Estimation (GLE) problems, we seek to estimate a signal that is observed through a linear transform followed by a component-wise, possibly nonlinear and noisy, channel. In the Bayesian optimal setting, Generalized…

Partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces are fundamental to scientific computing and geometry processing. A popular approach to solving PDEs on surfaces is the finite element method (FEM), where the surface is divided into discrete…

We propose and experimentally test a method to fabricate patterns of steep, sharp features on surfaces, by exploiting the nonlinear dynamics of uniformly ion bombarded surfaces. We show via theory, simulation, and experiment, that the…

Neural rendering techniques have made substantial progress in generating photo-realistic 3D scenes. The latest 3D Gaussian Splatting technique has achieved high quality novel view synthesis as well as fast rendering speed. However, 3D…

Recovering the camera motion and scene geometry from visual data is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision. Its success in standard vision is attributed to the maturity of feature extraction, data association and multi-view…

We analyze stochastic gradient descent for optimizing non-convex functions. In many cases for non-convex functions the goal is to find a reasonable local minimum, and the main concern is that gradient updates are trapped in saddle points.…

This paper studies the extremum seeking control (ESC) problem for a class of constrained nonlinear systems. Specifically, we focus on a family of constraints allowing to reformulate the original nonlinear system in the so-called…

Physically consistent coupling conditions at the fluid-porous interface with correctly determined effective parameters are necessary for accurate modeling and simulation of various applications. To describe single-fluid-phase flows in…

This paper presents an efficient approach to image segmentation that approximates the piecewise-smooth (PS) functional in [12] with explicit solutions. By rendering some rational constraints on the initial conditions and the final solutions…

While many algorithms exist for tracing various contours for illustrating a meshed object, few algorithms organize these contours into region-bounding closed loops. Tracing closed-loop boundaries on a mesh can be problematic due to…

Extending the earlier results for analytic curve segments, in this article we describe the asymptotic behaviour of evolution of a finite segment of a C^n-smooth curve under the geodesic flow on the unit tangent bundle of a finite volume…

We present a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase flow. This free boundary problem is given by the Stokes equations in the two phases, which are coupled via jump conditions across the interface. Using a novel variational…

We consider the smooth convex-concave bilinearly-coupled saddle-point problem, $\min_{\mathbf{x}}\max_{\mathbf{y}}~F(\mathbf{x}) + H(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}) - G(\mathbf{y})$, where one has access to stochastic first-order oracles for $F$,…

Active contours Model (ACM) has been extensively used in computer vision and image processing. In recent studies, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been combined with active contours replacing the user in the process of contour…

In this paper, we propose an unfitted finite element method to solve PDE-constrained shape optimization problems via shape gradient flow. The shape gradient flow system consists of the state equation, the adjoint equation, the velocity…

Contour-based instance segmentation has been actively studied, thanks to its flexibility and elegance in processing visual objects within complex backgrounds. In this work, we propose a novel deep network architecture, i.e., PolySnake, for…

Stability and convergence of full discretizations of various surface evolution equations are studied in this paper. The proposed discretization combines a higher-order evolving-surface finite element method (ESFEM) for space discretization…

The shape of the trailing edge of a gas turbine nozzle guide vane has a significant effect on the downstream stagnation pressure loss and heat transfer over the surface of the vane. Traditionally, adjoint-based design optimization methods…

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and their variants have achieved great success in dealing with graph-structured data. Nevertheless, it is well known that deep GCNs suffer from the over-smoothing problem, where node representations tend…

We consider the problem of optimizing the sum of a smooth convex function and a non-smooth convex function via the inexact accelerated proximal gradient (APG) method. A key limitation of existing inexact APG methods is their reliance on…
