Parametric variability is inevitable in actual energy harvesters. It can significantly affect crucial aspects of the system performance, especially in harvesting systems that present geometric parameters, material properties, or excitation…

The study of energy harvesting in chain-like structures is important due to its relevance to a variety of interesting physical systems. Harvesting is understood as the combination of exciton transport through intra-band exciton relaxation…

Waveform optimization has recently been shown to be a key technique to boost the efficiency and range of far-field wireless power transfer (WPT). Current research has optimized transmit waveform adaptive to channel state information (CSI)…

The need for wearable or abandoned microsystems, as well as the trend to a lower power consumption of electronic devices, make miniaturized renewable energy generators a viable alternative to batteries. Among the different alternatives, an…

Linearized elasticity models are derived, via Gamma-convergence, from suitably rescaled nonlinear energies when the corresponding energy densities have a multiwell structure and satisfy a weak coercivity condition, in the sense that the…

Remote estimation with an energy harvesting sensor with a limited data and energy buffer is considered. The sensor node observes an unknown Gaussian field and communicates its observations to a remote fusion center using the energy it…

This study explores the impact of parameter mismatch on the stability of cross-well motion in energy harvesters, using a basin stability metric. Energy harvesters, essential for converting ambient energy into electricity, increasingly…

The full architecture of an electrostatic kinetic energy harvester (KEH) based on the concept of near-limits KEH is reported. This concept refers to the conversion of kinetic energy to electric energy, from environmental vibrations of…

We study the weakly non-linear development of shear-driven gravity waves, and investigate the mixing properties of the finite amplitude solutions. Calculations to date have been restricted to the linear theory, which predicts that gravity…

Energy harvester based cognitive radio is a promising solution to address the shortage of both spectrum and energy. Since the spectrum access and power consumption patterns are interdependent, and the power value harvested from certain…

Ultrafast lasers are becoming increasingly widespread in science and industry alike. Fiber-based ultrafast laser sources are especially attractive because of their compactness, alignment-free setups, and potentially low costs. However,…

A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…

This work addresses the challenge of minimizing the energy consumption of a wireless communication network by joint optimization of the base station transmit power and the cell activity. A mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem is…

We consider the topic of linearization of finite elasticity for pure traction problems. We characterize the variational limit for the approximating sequence of rescaled nonlinear elastic energies. We show that the limiting minimal value can…

As a model of coupled nano-electromechanical resonantors we study two nonlinear driven oscillators with an arbitrary coupling strength between them. Analytical expressions are derived for the oscillation amplitudes as a function of the…

Linear and nonlinear resonant states can be restrictive: they exist at particular discrete states in frequency and/or elasticity, under particular (e.g., simple-harmonic) waveforms. In forced oscillators, this restrictiveness is an obstacle…

The difficulty of modeling energy consumption in communication systems leads to challenges in energy harvesting (EH) systems, in which nodes scavenge energy from their environment. An EH receiver must harvest enough energy for demodulating…

Energy harvesting (EH) based communication has raised great research interests due to its wide application and the feasibility of commercialization. In this paper, we consider wireless communications with EH constraints at the transmitter.…

We consider the use of energy harvesters, in place of conventional batteries with fixed energy storage, for point-to-point wireless communications. In addition to the challenge of transmitting in a channel with time selective fading, energy…

We propose a new approach to the study of (nonlinear) growth and instability for semilinear evolution equations with compact nonlinearities. We show, in particular, that compact nonlinear perturbations of a linear evolution equation can be…
