Vandenplas, Jeremie (author), Nguyen, B. (author), Vuik, Cornelis (author)In this paper, we consider a block Jacobi preconditioner and various deflation techniques applied in the Deflated Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (DPCG) method for solving a sparse system of linear equations derived from a statistical linear mixed model that analyses simultaneously phenotypic and pedigree information of genotyped and...journal article 2023

Siderius, Joost (author)This study researched the optimal network of hydrogen refueling stations. The network is designed on a European scale and with a focus on heavy duty trucks. The design is created by means of a two-step optimization. The first step clusters truck representing datapoints into a predetermined number of stations by means of k-means clustering. The...master thesis 2022

Gorsse, Daan (author)Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA), a type of humanitarian aid consisting of giving money instead of products, is being used more frequently because of its effectiveness and efficiency in helping people in need (Cash Learning Partnership, 2020b). The debate on using CVA is currently focusing on improving the quality by better incorporating ...master thesis 2022

Witvoet, Martijn (author)Fatigue lifetime has proven to be a leading design parameter for naval vessels. In the field of fatigue analysis and design of welded joints, two overall methods are distinguished: the temporal and spectral approach. Using empirical models, the spectral approach is typically preferred due to its efficiency, even though damage estimates are...master thesis 2022

SAMIOTIS, MARIOS (author)In this work, we first analyse a theoretical technique based on entropic inequalities, which in principle can be used to compare classical and quantum algorithms running on noisy quantum devices. The technique has been used in the past for depolarizing noise, and has shown that for NISQ variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) to give an advantage...master thesis 2022

Budd, J.M. (author)A large number of modern learning problems involve working with highly interrelated and interconnected data. Graph-based learning is an emerging technique for approaching such problems, by representing this data as a graph (a.k.a. a network). That is, the points of data are represented by the vertices of the graph, and then the edges linking...doctoral thesis 2022

Odolinski, Robert (author), Teunissen, P.J.G. (author)The best integer equivariant (BIE) estimator for the multivariate t-distribution was introduced in Teunissen (J Geod, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-020-01407-2), where it was shown that the BIE-weights will be different from that of the normal distribution. In this contribution, we analyze these BIE estimators while making use of multi...journal article 2022

Lashgari, Ali (author), Jafarian, Yaser (author)This paper presents a new empirical model to predict the mean period (T<sub>m</sub>) as a frequency-content parameter of earthquake record using the strong ground motions recorded in Iran during 1975–2019. An updated earthquake databank containing 2281 horizontal acceleration records was employed to develop the empirical model through a...journal article 2022

Sui, Congbiao (author), de Vos, P. (author), Stapersma, D. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Ding, Yu (author)Analysis of ship propulsion system performance is often performed using detailed hydrodynamic models to assess load changes, which are subsequently compared to static engine limits, or by detailed engine models that are rarely integrated with sufficiently detailed propulsion models for load change estimation. To investigate the dynamic engine...journal article 2022

Bodnar, Olha (author), Bodnar, Taras (author), Parolya, N. (author)Recently, the shrinkage approach has increased its popularity in theoretical and applied statistics, especially, when point estimators for high-dimensional quantities have to be constructed. A shrinkage estimator is usually obtained by shrinking the sample estimator towards a deterministic target. This allows to reduce the high volatility that...journal article 2022

Akhtar, Syed Adnan (author), Sharifi K., Arman (author), Mohajerin Esfahani, P. (author)We present a learning method to learn the mapping from an input space to an action space, which is particularly suitable when the action is an optimal decision with respect to a certain unknown cost function. We use an inverse optimization approach to retrieve the cost function by introducing a new loss function and a new hypothesis class of...journal article 2022

Wang, Jiebing (author), You, K. (author), Qi, Lingling (author), Ren, Hong (author)In China, dynamic spatial–temporal evolution and urban–rural gap in carbon emissions of residential building sector are crucial for understanding the current state, which is faced with great challenges related to emission mitigation. To overcome the challenge, this study employed the gravity center model to explore spatial–temporal evolution...journal article 2022

Yu, F. (author), Ching, Wai Ki (author), Wu, Chufang (author), Gu, Jia Wen (author)In this paper, we consider optimal pairs trading strategies in terms of static optimality and dynamic optimality under mean–variance criterion. The spread of the entity pairs is assumed to be mean-reverting and follows an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. A constrained optimal control problem is considered, and the Lagrange multiplier technique is...journal article 2022

Giannakopoulos, G. (author), Perilla Guerra, A.D. (author), Rueda, José L. (author), Palensky, P. (author)Power electronic dominated power systems formed nowadays are characterized by fast and frequent dynamics, limited short circuit support, low inertia conditions and lack of inertial support. Under these conditions, coping with active power imbalances in a power system may becomes a significant challenge for transmission system operators (TSOs)...conference paper 2022

Ratering, Daan (author), Kleijn, W.B. (author), Gonzalez Silva, J. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author)Active control of noise propagating through apertures is commonly realized with closed-loop LMS algorithms. However, these algorithms require a large number of error microphones and provide only local attenuation. Slow convergence and high computational effort are additional disadvantages. We propose a wave-domain approach that converges...conference paper 2022
