The paper is concerned with a node-based, gradient-driven, continuous adjoint two-phase flow procedure to optimize the shapes of free-floating vessels and discusses three topics. First, we aim to convey that elements of a Cahn-Hilliard…

In previous work, we introduced a method for modeling a configuration of objects in 2D and 3D images using a mathematical "medial/skeletal linking structure." In this paper, we show how these structures allow us to capture positional…

We suggest simple implementable modifications of conditional gradient and gradient projection methods for smooth convex optimization problems in Hilbert spaces. Usually, the custom methods attain only weak convergence. We prove strong…

The electron and photon transport processes in spectroscopy techniques described by the invariant embedding theory is here revisited. We report a convergence method to obtain closed analytical solutions to the 3D integro-differential…

This work deals with shape optimization for contact mechanics. More specifically, the linear elasticity model is considered under the small deformations hypothesis, and the elastic body is assumed to be in contact (sliding or with Tresca…

Before a car-following model can be applied in practice, it must first be validated against real data in a process known as calibration. This paper discusses the formulation of calibration as an optimization problem, and compares different…

In this chapter, we investigate recently proposed nonlinear conjugate gradient (NCG) methods for shape optimization problems. We briefly introduce the methods as well as the corresponding theoretical background and investigate their…

We derive methods to compute higher order differentials (Hessians and Hessian-vector products) of the rendering operator. Our approach is based on importance sampling of a convolution that represents the differentials of rendering…

It is shown that small externally applied magnetic perturbations can significantly alter important geometric properties of magnetic flux surfaces in tokamaks. Through 3D shaping, experimentally relevant perturbation levels are large enough…

This work proposes a novel shape optimization framework for geometric inverse problems governed by the advection--diffusion equation, based on the coupled complex boundary method (CCBM). Building on recent developments [Afr22, Rab23, Rab25,…

The fully discrete adjoint equations and the corresponding adjoint method are derived for a globally high- order accurate discretization of conservation laws on parametrized, deforming domains. The conservation law on the deforming domain…

In this paper, the insulated conductivity model with two touching or close-to-touching inclusions is considered in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ with $d\geq3$. We establish the pointwise upper bounds on the gradient of the solution for the generalized…

Adjoint methods enable the accurate calculation of the sensitivities of a quantity of interest. The sensitivity is obtained by solving the adjoint system, which can be derived by continuous or discrete adjoint strategies. In acoustic wave…

Boundary conforming coordinates are commonly used in plasma physics to describe the geometry of toroidal domains, for example, in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium solvers. The magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium configuration…

This work focuses on the numerical assessment of the accuracy of an adjoint-based gradient in the perspective of variational data assimilation and parameter identification in glaciology. Using noisy synthetic data, we quantify the ability…

In this paper we derive an estimate on the number of local maxima of the free boundary of some variational inequalities with pointwise gradient constraints. This also gives an estimate on the number of connected components of the free…

We address composite optimization problems, which consist in minimizing the sum of a smooth and a merely lower semicontinuous function, without any convexity assumptions. Numerical solutions of these problems can be obtained by proximal…

There are several applications of stochastic optimization where one can benefit from a robust estimate of the gradient. For example, domains such as distributed learning with corrupted nodes, the presence of large outliers in the training…

Cardiac muscle tissue during relaxation is commonly modelled as a hyperelastic material with strongly nonlinear and anisotropic stress response. Adapting the behavior of such a model to experimental or patient data gives rise to a parameter…

We investigate the problem of estimating the 3D shape of an object, given a set of 2D landmarks in a single image. To alleviate the reconstruction ambiguity, a widely-used approach is to confine the unknown 3D shape within a shape space…
