- ItemDistribution of Cracks in a Chain of Atoms at Low Temperature(Cham (ZG) : Springer International Publishing AG, 2021) Jansen, Sabine; König, Wolfgang; Schmidt, Bernd; Theil, FlorianWe consider a one-dimensional classical many-body system with interaction potential of Lennard–Jones type in the thermodynamic limit at low temperature 1/β∈(0,∞). The ground state is a periodic lattice. We show that when the density is strictly smaller than the density of the ground state lattice, the system with N particles fills space by alternating approximately crystalline domains (clusters) with empty domains (voids) due to cracked bonds. The number of domains is of the order of Nexp(−βesurf/2) with esurf>0 a surface energy. For the proof, the system is mapped to an effective model, which is a low-density lattice gas of defects. The results require conditions on the interactions between defects. We succeed in verifying these conditions for next-nearest neighbor interactions, applying recently derived uniform estimates of correlations.
- ItemTime-Warping Invariants of Multidimensional Time Series(Dordrecht [u.a.] : Springer Science + Business Media B.V., 2020) Diehl, Joscha; Ebrahimi-Fard, Kurusch; Tapia, NikolasIn data science, one is often confronted with a time series representing measurements of some quantity of interest. Usually, in a first step, features of the time series need to be extracted. These are numerical quantities that aim to succinctly describe the data and to dampen the influence of noise. In some applications, these features are also required to satisfy some invariance properties. In this paper, we concentrate on time-warping invariants. We show that these correspond to a certain family of iterated sums of the increments of the time series, known as quasisymmetric functions in the mathematics literature. We present these invariant features in an algebraic framework, and we develop some of their basic properties. © 2020, The Author(s).
- ItemDifferentiability Properties for Boundary Control of Fluid-Structure Interactions of Linear Elasticity with Navier-Stokes Equations with Mixed-Boundary Conditions in a Channel(New York, NY : Springer, 2023) Hintermüller, Michael; Kröner, AxelIn this paper we consider a fluid-structure interaction problem given by the steady Navier Stokes equations coupled with linear elasticity taken from (Lasiecka et al. in Nonlinear Anal 44:54–85, 2018). An elastic body surrounded by a liquid in a rectangular domain is deformed by the flow which can be controlled by the Dirichlet boundary condition at the inlet. On the walls along the channel homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and on the outflow boundary do-nothing conditions are prescribed. We recall existence results for the nonlinear system from that reference and analyze the control to state mapping generalizing the results of (Wollner and Wick in J Math Fluid Mech 21:34, 2019) to the setting of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equation for the fluid and the situation of mixed boundary conditions in a domain with corners.
- ItemLocal Well-Posedness of Strong Solutions to the Three-Dimensional Compressible Primitive Equations(Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2021) Liu, Xin; Titi, Edriss S.This work is devoted to establishing the local-in-time well-posedness of strong solutions to the three-dimensional compressible primitive equations of atmospheric dynamics. It is shown that strong solutions exist, are unique, and depend continuously on the initial data, for a short time in two cases: with gravity but without vacuum, and with vacuum but without gravity. © 2021, The Author(s).
- ItemRevealing the co-action of viscous and multistability hysteresis in an adhesive, nominally flat punch: A combined numerical and experimental study([Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : arXiv, 2022) Christian Müller, Manar Samri, René Hensel, Eduard Arzt, Martin H. MüserViscoelasticity is well known to cause a significant hysteresis of crack closure and opening when an elastomer is brought in and out of contact with a flat, rigid counterface. In contrast, the idea that adhesive hysteresis can also result under quasi-static driving due to small-scale, elastic multistability is relatively new. Here, we study a system in which both mechanisms act concurrently. Specifically, we compare the simulated and experimentally measured time evolution of the interfacial force and the real contact area between a soft elastomer and a rigid, flat punch, to which small-scale, single-sinusoidal roughness is added. To this end, we further the Green's function molecular dynamics method and extend recently developed imaging techniques to elucidate the rate- and preload-dependence of the pull-off process. Our results reveal that hysteresis is much enhanced when the saddle points of the topography come into contact, which, however, is impeded by viscoelastic forces and may require sufficiently large preloads. A similar coaction of viscous- and multistability effects is expected to occur in macroscopic polymer contacts and be relevant, e.g., for pressure-sensitive adhesives and modern adhesive gripping devices.
- ItemNovel fixed-time stabilization of quaternion-valued BAMNNs with disturbances and time-varying coefficients(Springfield, MO : AIMS Press, 2020) Wei, Ruoyu; Cao, Jinde; Kurths, JürgenIn this paper, with the quaternion number and time-varying coefficients introduced into traditional BAMNNs, the model of quaternion-valued BAMNNs are formulated. For the first time, fixed-time stabilization of time-varying quaternion-valued BAMNNs is investigated. A novel fixed-time control method is adopted, in which the choice of the Lyapunov function is more general than in most previous results. To cope with the noncommutativity of the quaternion multiplication, two different fixed-time control methods are provided, a decomposition method and a non-decomposition method. Furthermore, to reduce the control strength and improve control efficiency, an adaptive fixed-time control strategy is proposed. Lastly, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. © 2020 the Author(s), licensee AIMS Press.
- ItemWeak-strong uniqueness and energy-variational solutions for a class of viscoelastoplastic fluid models(Boston, Mass. : De Gruyter, 2022) Eiter, Thomas; Hopf, Katharina; Lasarzik, RobertWe study a model for a fluid showing viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior, which describes the flow in terms of the fluid velocity and a symmetric deviatoric stress tensor. This stress tensor is transported via the Zaremba-Jaumann rate, and it is subject to two dissipation processes: one induced by a nonsmooth convex potential and one by stress diffusion. We show short-time existence of strong solutions as well as their uniqueness in a class of Leray-Hopf-type weak solutions satisfying the tensorial component in the sense of an evolutionary variational inequality. The global-in-time existence of such generalized solutions has been established in a previous work. We further study the limit when stress diffusion vanishes. In this case, the above notion of generalized solutions is no longer suitable, and we introduce the concept of energy-variational solutions, which is based on an inequality for the relative energy. We derive general properties of energy-variational solutions and show their existence by passing to the nondiffusive limit in the relative energy inequality satisfied by generalized solutions for nonzero stress diffusion.
- ItemExistence, iteration procedures and directional differentiability for parabolic QVIs(Berlin ; Heidelberg : Springer, 2020) Alphonse, Amal; Hintermüller, Michael; Rautenberg, Carlos N.We study parabolic quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type. Under appropriate assumptions on the obstacle mapping, we prove the existence of solutions of such QVIs by two methods: one by time discretisation through elliptic QVIs and the second by iteration through parabolic variational inequalities. Using these results, we show the directional differentiability (in a certain sense) of the solution map which takes the source term of a parabolic QVI into the set of solutions, and we relate this result to the contingent derivative of the aforementioned map. We finish with an example where the obstacle mapping is given by the inverse of a parabolic differential operator.
- ItemOn the Complexity of Attacking Elliptic Curve Based Authentication Chips(Amsterdam [u.a.] : Elsevier, 2021) Kabin, Ievgen; Dyka, Zoya; Klann, Dan; Schaeffner, Jan; Langendoerfer, PeterIn this paper we discuss the difficulties of mounting successful attacks against crypto implementations if essential information is missing. We start with a detailed description of our attack against our own design, to highlight which information is needed to increase the success of an attack, i.e. we use it as a blueprint to the following attack against commercially available crypto chips. We would like to stress that our attack against our own design is very similar to what happens during certification e.g. according to the Common Criteria Standard as in those cases the manufacturer needs to provide detailed information. If attacking commercial designs without signing NDAs, we were forced to intensively search the Internet for information about the designs. We were able to reveal information on the processing sequence during the authentication process even as detailed as identifying the clock cycles in which the individual key bits are processed. But we could not reveal the private keys used by the attacked commercial authentication chips 100% correctly. Moreover, as we did not knew the used keys we could not evaluate the success of our attack. To summarize, the effort of such an attack is significantly higher than the one of attacking a well-known implementation.
- ItemCorrector estimates in homogenization of a nonlinear transmission problem for diffusion equations in connected domains(Chichester, West Sussex : Wiley, 2020) Kovtunenko, Victor A.; Reichelt, Sina; Zubkova, Anna V.This paper is devoted to the homogenization of a nonlinear transmission problem stated in a two-phase domain. We consider a system of linear diffusion equations defined in a periodic domain consisting of two disjoint phases that are both connected sets separated by a thin interface. Depending on the field variables, at the interface, nonlinear conditions are imposed to describe interface reactions. In the variational setting of the problem, we prove the homogenization theorem and a bidomain averaged model. The periodic unfolding technique is used to obtain the residual error estimate with a first-order corrector. © 2019 The Authors.
