On pressure modes in ice-induced vibrations using multivariate analysis

Pressures at the ice-structure interface during model-scale ice-structure interaction are often measured with tactile sensors. Resulting datasets usually include large volume of data along with some measurement error and noise; therefore, it is inherently hard to extract the hidden fluctuating pressures in the system. Identifying the...

Distributing Load Flow Computations Across System Operators Boundaries Using the Newton–Krylov–Schwarz Algorithm Implemented in PETSc

The upward trends in renewable energy penetration, cross-border flow volatility and electricity actors’ proliferation pose new challenges in the power system management. Electricity and market operators need to increase collaboration, also in terms of more frequent and detailed system analyses, so as to ensure adequate levels of quality and...

Inexact distributed optimization schemes: A convergence analysis using monotone operator theory

Distributed optimization has been an <br/>extensively studied field for years. Recent developments in the area of sensors makes it possible to create networks consisting of a large number of nodes. The focus of this thesis will be optimizing distributed problems over a decentralized network. These distributed optimization schemes operate in an...

An inexact splitting method for the subspace segmentation from incomplete and noisy observations

Subspace segmentation is a fundamental issue in computer vision and machine learning, which segments a collection of high-dimensional data points into their respective low-dimensional subspaces. In this paper, we first propose a model for segmenting the data points from incomplete and noisy observations. Then, we develop an inexact splitting...
