One-Way Thermo-Mechanical Coupled System Identification Using Displacement and Temperature Measurements

This paper presents an optimization-driven, adjoint-based framework that utilizes both monolithic and partitioned strategies to simultaneously identify structural damage and reconstruct temperature fields in one-way thermo-mechanically coupled systems, demonstrating superior accuracy over traditional assumptions even with sparse and suboptimally placed sensor networks.

A Unifying Primal-Dual Proximal Framework for Distributed Nonconvex Optimization

This paper introduces a Unifying Primal-Dual Proximal (UPP) framework that linearizes the augmented Lagrangian to unify various distributed nonconvex optimization methods, proving sublinear convergence to stationary points and linear convergence under the Polyak-Łojasiewicz condition, while demonstrating superior performance through specialized algorithms like UPP-MC and Chebyshev-accelerated UPP-SC-OPT.

Backward problem for a degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equation: stability and numerical identification

This paper establishes conditional stability for the backward problem of degenerate viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations with general non-quadratic Hamiltonians using Carleman estimates and linearization, and proposes numerical identification algorithms based on the adjoint state method and Van Cittert iteration, validated by numerical tests.

Dirichlet control problems with energy regularization governed by non-coercive elliptic equations

This paper investigates linear-quadratic Dirichlet control problems governed by non-coercive elliptic equations on non-convex polygonal domains using energy regularization, establishing solution regularity in weighted Sobolev spaces and deriving optimal error estimates for finite element discretizations that employ graded meshes and a specialized discrete projection.

Rigidity of the dynamics of Aut(Fn){{\rm Aut}}({\mathsf{F}}_n) on representations into a compact group

This paper establishes that for a compact Lie group GG and sufficiently large rank nn, the dynamics of the automorphism group Aut(Fn){\rm Aut}({\mathsf{F}}_n) acting on the representation space Hom(Fn;G){\mathsf{Hom}}({\mathsf{F}}_n;G) exhibit algebraic rigidity, where orbit closures and invariant probability measures are algebraic in nature, analogous to Ratner's theorems.

Exponential Convergence of hphp-FEM for the Integral Fractional Laplacian on cuboids

This paper proves and numerically validates that tensor-product hphp-finite element approximations for the Dirichlet integral fractional Laplacian on a 3D cuboid with analytic forcing achieve root exponential convergence in the energy norm, specifically bounded by exp(bN6)\exp(-b\sqrt[6]{N}), by leveraging analytic regularity in weighted Sobolev spaces and geometrically refined meshes.
