Eickhoff, Jerrit (author)Online gaming is the world’s largest entertainment industry by revenue, and supports over 3 billion consumers worldwide. Many of the world’s most popular online games must manage millions of concurrent players through a single unified service. Achieving performant and scalable online games is challenging. Online games are subject to stringent...master thesis 2024

Van Opstal, Quinten (author)Federated learning provides a lot of opportunities, especially with the built-in privacy considerations. There is however one attack that might compromise the utility of federated learning: backdoor attacks [14]. There are already some existing defenses, like flame [13] but they are computationally expensive [14]. This paper evaluates a version...bachelor thesis 2024

Bakker, Bo (author)Data-driven approaches are a promising new addition to the list of available strategies for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). One such approach, the Principal Component Analysis-based Neural Network PDE solver, can be used to learn a mapping between two function spaces, corresponding to a PDE. However, the practical limitations of...bachelor thesis 2024

Kiste, Amund (author)Solving Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in engineering such as Navier-Stokes is incredibly computationally expensive and complex. Without analytical solutions, numerical solutions can take ages to simulate at great expense. In order to reduce this cost, neural networks may be used to compute approximations of the solution for use during...bachelor thesis 2024

Lacombe, Pablo (author)This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of a novel method combining Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Neural Networks (NN) to efficiently solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), a fundamental challenge in modeling a wide range of real-world phenomena. Our research extends the work of Bhattacharya et al. by focusing on PCA for...bachelor thesis 2024

Gwalani, Punit (author)With a dedicated mission to the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, set to launch soon, there is a growing interest in further exploring these moons using low-thrust propulsion. This paper investigates the trajectory design for a sample-return mission from Deimos using fuel-free solar sail propulsion technology, aiming to maximize operational time...master thesis 2024

Burr, Zach (author)Planet formation is a topic that still has many unanswered questions, particularly regarding the formation of wide orbit giant planets. Detecting more of these types of planets can aid understanding of how they form by giving examples of what kind of planets exist. Direct imaging is uniquely well suited to detecting these kinds of planets, which...master thesis 2024

Mak, Robin (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Differential mechanisms are remarkable mechanical elements that are widely utilized in various systems; nevertheless, conventional differential mechanisms are heavy and difficult to use in applications with limited design space. This paper presents a curved differential mechanism that utilizes a lightweight, compliant structure. This...journal article 2024

Li, Qiongxiu (author), Gundersen, Jaron Skovsted (author), Lopuhaa-Zwakenberg, Milan (author), Heusdens, R. (author)Privacy-preserving distributed average consensus has received significant attention recently due to its wide applicability. Based on the achieved performances, existing approaches can be broadly classified into perfect accuracy-prioritized approaches such as secure multiparty computation (SMPC), and worst-case privacy-prioritized approaches...journal article 2024

Dubey, S.K. (author), Cats, O. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)The potential lack of realism in stated-preference surveys is particularly acute in contexts where disaggregate real-world data is challenging to obtain. Mobility-on-Demand (MOD) services present one such context. The MOD context is unique due to factors such as service reliability (difference in stated vs. actual travel and waiting time) and...journal article 2024

Négyesi, B. (author), Andersson, Kristoffer (author), Oosterlee, Cornelis W. (author)A novel discretization is presented for decoupled forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDE) with differentiable coefficients, simultaneously solving the BSDE and its Malliavin sensitivity problem. The control process is estimated by the corresponding linear BSDE driving the trajectories of the Malliavin derivatives of the...journal article 2024

(author), Mirzaali, Mohammad J. (author)The Poisson's ratio and elastic modulus are two parameters determining the elastic behavior of biomaterials. While the effects of elastic modulus on the cell response is widely studied, very little is known regarding the effects of the Poisson's ratio. The micro-architecture of meta-biomaterials determines not only the Poisson's ratio but...journal article 2024

Successive approximations and interval halving for fractional BVPs with integral boundary conditionsMarynets, K. (author), Pantova, D.H. (author)We study a system of non-linear fractional differential equations, subject to integral boundary conditions. We use a parametrization technique and a dichotomy-type approach to reduce the original problem to two “model-type” fractional boundary value problems with linear two-point boundary conditions. A numerical-analytic technique is applied...journal article 2024

Li, T. (author), Xu, L. (author), Erkin, Z. (author), Lagendijk, R.L. (author)With the fast development of e-commerce, there is a higher demand for timely delivery. Logistic companies want to send receivers a more accurate arrival prediction to improve customer satisfaction and lower customer retention costs. One approach is to share (near) real-time location data with recipients, but this also introduces privacy and...conference paper 2024

Agresti, A. (author), Veraar, M.C. (author)In this paper we introduce the critical variational setting for parabolic stochastic evolution equations of quasi- or semi-linear type. Our results improve many of the abstract results in the classical variational setting. In particular, we are able to replace the usual weak or local monotonicity condition by a more flexible local Lipschitz...journal article 2024

Analysis of the Boundary Layer on a Highly Flexible Wing Based on Infrared Thermography MeasurementsMertens, C. (author), Grille Guerra, A. (author), van Oudheusden, B.W. (author), Fehrs, Michael (author), Ritter, Markus R. (author)The effects of the wing skin distortion on the boundary layer of a highly flexible wing are analyzed in a wind tunnel experiment using infrared thermography measurements. Considerable differences in the boundary layer flow are observed when comparing the sections of the wing near the ribs, where the design shape of the wing is preserved, and...book chapter 2024
