We provide a framework for preconditioning nonlinear three-dimensional electromagnetic inverse scattering problems using nonlinear conjugate gradient (NLCG) and limited memory (LM) quasi-Newton methods. Key to our approach is the use of an approximate adjoint method that allows for an economical approximation of the Hessian that is updated at each inversion iteration. Using this approximate Hes...

We construct a new harmonic family: dielectric flow solutions with maximal supersymmetry in eleven-dimensional supergravity. These solutions are asymptotically AdS4 ×S7, while in the infra-red the M2 branes are dielectrically polarized into M5 branes. These solutions are holographically dual to vacua of the mass deformed theory on M2 branes. They also provide an interesting insight on the super...

As mentioned before, the success of CASE relies on two noteworthy properties: the Sure Screening (SS) property and the Separable After Screening (SAS) property. In this section, we discuss the two properties in detail, and illustrate how these properties enable us to decompose the original regression problem to many small-size regression problems which can be fit separately. We then use these p...

I describe a modification to Shanks’ baby-step giant-step algorithm for computing the order n of an element g of a group G, assuming n is finite. My method has the advantage of being able to compute n quickly, which Shanks’ method fails to do when the order of G is infinite, unknown, or much larger than n. I describe the algorithm in detail. I also present the results of implementations of my a...

In this paper, we address the challenges faced by Value Iteration Networks (VIN) in handling larger input maps and mitigating impact of accumulated errors caused increased iterations. We propose a novel approach, with Gated Summarization Module (GS-VIN), which incorporates two main improvements: 1) employing an Adaptive Strategy module to reduce number iterations; 2) introducing summarize itera...

Baby boomers will begin entering old age in 2011. They will be the largest and most diverse cohort ever to experience this life-course transition. The sheer number of baby boomers has challenged institutions time after time (Dychtwald, 1990). Despite extensive speculation regarding the political, economic, and social impact that the aging of baby boomers will have on American society, no one ha...

We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large...

This paper discusses the process of optimizing truss structure step by from 2D to 3D space using finite element analysis. step-by-step optimization is carried out simplify analysis structures simple more complex cases.

The existence of an optimal feedback law is established for the risk sensitive optimal control problem with denumerable state space. The main assumptions imposed are irreducibility, and a near monotonicity condition on the one-step cost function. It is found that a solution can be found constructively using either value iteration or policy iteration under suitable conditions on initial feedback...
