Visualization And Analysis Of A Numerical Simulation Of Gw150914, Nicole Rosato
Theses
We present a visualization and analysis of a supercomputer simulation displaying the apparent horizons' curvature and radiation emitted from a binary black hole system modeling the LIGO observed signal GW150914. The simulation follows the system from seven orbits prior to merger down to the resultant final Kerr black hole. Apparent horizons are calculated during the simulation with mean curvature data displayed on them. Radiation data was visualized via the real part of the $\Psi_4$ component of the Weyl scalars, which were determined using a numerical quasi-Kinnersley method. We also present a comparative study of the differences in using the quasi-Kinnersley …

Master's Theses and Capstones
This thesis aims to introduce a new framework for the distributed control of multi-agent systems with adjustable swarm control objectives. Our goal is twofold: 1) to provide an overview to how time-varying objectives in the control of autonomous systems may be applied to the distributed control of multi-agent systems with variable autonomy level, and 2) to introduce a framework to incorporate the proposed concept to fundamental swarm behaviors such as aggregation and leader tracking. Leader-follower multi-agent systems are considered in this study, and a general form of time-dependent artificial potential function is proposed to describe the varying objectives of the …
