Cluster capacity functionals and isomorphism theorems for Gaussian free fields (online talk)
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Online Event
Abstrakt
Various isomorphisms theorem relate Gaussian free fields to random walk models, through their local times. Among them, the second Ray-Knight theorem can be extended in an isomorphism between the Gaussian free field and random interlacements on transient graphs. Following the work of Lupu and Sznitman, we will explain how the cable system method let us make this isomorphism more explicit, and how it relates to a certain cluster capacity functional for the Gaussian free field. Finally, we will present applications to percolation for the Gaussian free field on the cable system. Joint work with Alexander Drewitz (Cologne) and Pierre-François Rodriguez (London)

Shape optimization of light structures (online talk)

Abstrakt
We prove rigorous results about the vanishing-mass limit of the classical problem to find a shape with minimal elastic compliance. Contrary to all previous results in the mathematical literature, which utilize a soft mass constraint by introducing a Lagrange multiplier, we here consider the hard mass constraint. Our results are the first to establish the convergence of approximately optimal shapes of (exact) size $varepsilonto 0$ to a limit generalized shape represented by a (possibly diffuse) probability measure. This limit generalized shape is a minimizer of the limit compliance, which involves a new integrand, namely the one conjectured by Bouchitté in 2001 and predicted heuristically before in works of Allaire & Kohn and Kohn & Strang from the 1980s and 1990s. This integrand gives the energy of the limit generalized shape understood as a fine oscillation of (optimal) lower-dimensional structures. Its appearance is surprising since the integrand in the original compliance is just a quadratic form and the non-convexity of the problem is not immediately obvious. In fact, it is the interaction of the mass constraint with the requirement of attaining the loading (in the form of a divergence-constraint) that gives rise to this new integrand. Our proofs rest on compensated compactness arguments applied to an explicit family of div-quasiconvex quadratic forms, computations involving the Hashin--Shtrikman bounds for the Kohn--Strang integrand, and the characterization of limit minimizers due to Bouchitté & Buttazzo.

Error analysis of proper orthogonal decomposition stabilized methods for incompressible flows
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Online Event
Abstrakt
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) stabilized methods for the Navier-Stokes equations are presented. We consider two cases: the case in which the snapshots are based on a non inf-sup stable method and the case in which the snapshots are based on an inf-sup stable method. For both cases we construct approximations to the velocity and the pressure. For the first case, we analyze a method in which the snapshots are based on a stabilized scheme with equal order polynomials for the velocity and the pressure with local projection stabilization (LPS) for the gradient of the velocity and the pressure. For the POD method we add the same kind of LPS stabilization for the gradient of the velocity and the pressure as the direct method, together with grad-div stabilization. In the second case, the snapshots are based on an inf-sup stable Galerkin method with grad-div stabilization and for the POD model we also apply grad-div stabilization. In this case, since the snapshots are discretely divergence-free, the pressure can be removed from the formulation of the POD approximation to the velocity. To approximate the pressure, needed in many engineering applications, we use a supremizer pressure recovery method. Error bounds with constants independent of inverse powers of the viscosity parameter are proved for both methods. Numerical experiments show the accuracy and performance of the schemes.

The Stein geometry in machine learning: gradient flows, large deviations and convergence properties (online talk)
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Online Event
Abstrakt
Sampling or approximating high-dimensional probability distributions is a key challenge in computational statistics and machine learning. This talk will present connections to gradient flow PDEs and interacting particle systems, focusing on the recently introduced Stein variational gradient descent methodology. The construction induces a novel geometrical structure on the set of probability distributions related to a positive definite kernel function.We discuss the corresponding geodesic equations as well as large deviation functionals and leverage those to shed some light on the convergence properties of the algorithm. This is joint work with A. Duncan (Imperial College London), L. Szpruch (University of Edinburgh) and M. Renger (Weierstrass Institute Berlin).

Weak-strong uniqueness in energy-reaction-diffusion systems (online talk)
mehr ... Veranstaltungsort
Online Event
Abstrakt
We establish weak-strong uniqueness and stability properties of renormalised solutions to a class of energy-reaction-diffusion systems, which genuinely feature cross-diffusion effects. The systems considered are motivated by thermodynamically consistent models, and their formal entropy structure allows us to use as a key tool a suitably adjusted relative entropy method. Weak-strong uniqueness is obtained for general entropy-dissipating reactions without growth restrictions, and certain models with a non-integrable diffusive flux. The results also apply to a class of (isoenergetic) reaction-cross-diffusion systems.
