Decoupling on the Wiener Space, Related Besov Spaces, and Applications to BSDEs
2021
We introduce a decoupling method on the Wiener space to define a wide class of anisotropic Besov spaces. The decoupling method is based on a general distributional approach and not restricted to the Wiener space. The class of Besov spaces we introduce contains the traditional isotropic Besov spaces obtained by the real interpolation method, but also new spaces that are designed to investigate backwards stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). As examples we discuss the Besov regularity (in the sense of our spaces) of forward diffusions and local times. It is shown that among our newly introduced Besov spaces there are spaces that characterize quantitative properties of directional derivat…
A poincar�-bendixson theorem for analytic families of vector fields
1995
We provide a characterization of the limit periodic sets for analytic families of vector fields under the hypothesis that the first jet is non-vanishing at any singular point. Also, applying the family desingularization method, we reduce the complexity of some of these sets.
A$_{FB}$ in the SMEFT: precision Z physics at the LHC
2021
We study the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ in $pp \to \ell^+\ell^-$ at the Z peak within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We find that this observable provides per mille level constraints on the vertex corrections of the Z boson to quarks,which close a flat direction in the electroweak precision SMEFT fit. Moreover, we show that current $A_{FB}$ data is precise enough so that its inclusion in the fit improves significantly LEP bounds even in simple New Physics setups. This demonstrates that the LHC can compete with and complement LEP when it comes to precision measurements of the Z boson properties
On the rigidity of back-to-back top quark pairs in e^+e^- annihilation
1998
We consider the effect of gluon radiation on the energy of top/antitop quarks and on the anticollinearity of top-antitop quark pairs produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. Our results are presented in terms of the $E_q$-dependence of the $t\bar tg$ cross section and the dependence on the cosine of the opening angle $\theta_{12}$ between top and antitop for a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{q^2}=500 GeV$. We then go on to determine mean values for the top quark's energy as well as its longitudinal and transverse projections, and for the deviation of $\sin\theta_{12}$ and $\cos\theta_{12}$ from the anticollinearity limits $\sin\theta_{12}=0$ and $\cos\theta_{12}=-1$. For a center of mass energy o…
Influence of Geometrical Parameters, Wall Angle and Part Shape on Thickness Reduction of Single Point Incremental Forming
2014
Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the thickness reduction during the whole single point incremental forming process. The experimental setup is realized in such a way that the blank sheet is in the vertical position and forming is done using an anthropomorphic robot with six degrees of freedom. The vertical positioning of the blank sheet allows the on-line visualization using an optical measuring system of the major and minor strains and of the thickness reduction. The wall angle varied between values of 45 0 , 55 0 and 65 0 respectively. The logarithmic major strain and minor strains and logarithmic thickness reduction were analyzed in order to allow a comparison with values obtain…
Unconditionally stable meshless integration of time-domain Maxwell’s curl equations
2015
Grid based methods coupled with an explicit approach for the evolution in time are traditionally adopted in solving PDEs in computational electromagnetics. The discretization in space with a grid covering the problem domain and a stability step size restriction, must be accepted. Evidence is given that efforts need for overcoming these heavy constraints. The connectivity laws among the points scattered in the problem domain can be avoided by using meshless methods. Among these, the smoothed particle electromagnetics, gives an interesting answer to the problem, overcoming the limit of the grid generation. In the original formulation an explicit integration scheme is used providing, spatial a…
La confiance: relations, organisations, capital humain
2016
International audience; Se pencher sur la confiance s'avère d'une cruciale actualité dans les sphères citoyenne, politique, médiatique et organisationnelle. La confiance constitue le fondement de nos actions individuelles et collectives. Sans elle, il est impossible d'entreprendre, d'éduquer, de diriger, d'agir dans les activités quotidiennes comme dans les projets les plus ambitieux. Mais la confiance est en crise. Les sphères politique et médiatique sont confrontées à une méfiance croissante. Le monde économique fonde une partie de la croissance sur le « retour de la confiance », condition sine qua non d'une dynamique de reprise ; et elle est aussi un levier essentiel de l'économie numéri…
Ultrafast optics in coherently spinning molecules
2020
This thesis reports on the study of unidirectional rotation of molecules and focuses on the rotational Doppler effect occuring in the course of third-harmonic generation in coherently spinning molecules.The rotational Doppler effect appears when a circularly polarized wave interacts with an anisotropic rotating object. During the interaction, an exchange of angular momentum and energy between the field and the object occurs, leading to a frequency shift of the wave. In this work, the frequency shift of the third-harmonic generated in unidirectionaly rotating molecules has been observed. An anlytical model developped in the mansucript forsees four kinds of frequency shifts depending on the m…
Adaptive control of a class of strict-feedback time-varying nonlinear systems with unknown control coefficients
2018
Abstract In this paper, robust adaptive control of a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown control directions is investigated. A novel Nussbaum-type function is developed and a key theorem is drawn which involves quantifying the addition of multiple Nussbaum functions with different control directions in a single inequality. Global stability of the closed-loop system and asymptotic stabilization of system output are proved. A simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
Modeling and Performance Assessment of the Split-Pi Used as a Storage Converter in All the Possible DC Microgrid Scenarios. Part I: Theoretical Analy…
2021
The integration of an electrical storage system (ESS) into a DC microgrid using a bidirectional DC/DC converter provides substantial benefits but requires careful design. Among such converter topologies, the Split-pi converter presents several merits at the cost of non-isolated operation. However, the few works in the literature on the Split-pi presented only closed-loop control with a single control loop; furthermore, they neglected the reactive components’ parasitic resistances and did not perform any experimental validation. This work aimed at investigating the use of the Split-pi converter as a power interface between an ESS and a DC microgrid. Five typical microgrid scenarios are prese…
