Unsupervised Surrogate-Assisted Synthesis of Free-Form Planar Antenna Topologies for IoT Applications

This paper proposes an unsupervised, surrogate-assisted framework that automatically generates and optimizes free-form planar antenna topologies for IoT applications by combining a classifier for topology selection with a bi-stage gradient-based tuning process, as validated through numerical experiments on bandwidth-enhanced patch antennas.

Implicit-Explicit Trust Region Method for Computing Second-Order Stationary Points of A Class of Landau Models

This paper proposes an implicit-explicit trust region method that leverages the specific Hessian structure of Landau-type free energy functionals to efficiently compute second-order stationary points, enabling the identification of physically stable phases like the FDDD structure in the Landau-Brazovskii model with provable convergence guarantees.

Statistical Topological Gradient and Shape Optimization for Robust Metal--Semiconductor Contact Reconstruction

This paper presents a statistically robust framework for reconstructing metal–semiconductor contact regions by combining topological gradients with shape optimization, establishing a central limit theorem for convergence and utilizing a key parameter β\beta to refine interface sensitivity and distinguish true structural features from noise.

A Multi-Fidelity Parametric Framework for Reduced-Order Modeling using Optimal Transport-based Interpolation: Applications to Diffused-Interface Two-Phase Flows

This paper presents a non-intrusive, multi-fidelity reduced-order modeling framework that utilizes Optimal Transport-based displacement interpolation to efficiently correct low-fidelity models and construct accurate parametric surrogates for complex, nonlinear two-phase flow simulations.
