The Surface Diffusion And The Willmore Flow For Uniformly Regular Hypersurfaces, Jeremy Lecrone, Yuanzhen Shao, Gieri Simonett
The Surface Diffusion And The Willmore Flow For Uniformly Regular Hypersurfaces, Jeremy Lecrone, Yuanzhen Shao, Gieri Simonett
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We consider the surface diffusion and Willmore flows acting on a general class of (possibly non–compact) hypersurfaces parameterized over a uniformly regular reference manifold possessing a tubular neighborhood with uniform radius. The surface diffusion and Willmore flows each give rise to a fourth–order quasilinear parabolic equation with nonlinear terms satisfying a specific singular structure. We establish well–posedness of both flows for initial surfaces that are C1+α–regular and parameterized over a uniformly regular hypersurface. For the Willmore flow, we also show long–term existence for initial surfaces which are C1+α–close to a sphere, and we prove …

Topology-Guided Roadmap Construction With Dynamic Region Sampling, Read Sandström, Diane Uwacu, Jory Denny, Nancy M. Amato

Many types of planning problems require discovery of multiple pathways through the environment, such as multi-robot coordination or protein ligand binding. The Probabilistic Roadmap (PRM) algorithm is a powerful tool for this case, but often cannot efficiently connect the roadmap in the presence of narrow passages. In this letter, we present a guidance mechanism that encourages the rapid construction of well-connected roadmaps with PRM methods. We leverage a topological skeleton of the workspace to track the algorithm's progress in both covering and connecting distinct neighborhoods, and employ this information to focus computation on the uncovered and unconnected regions. We demonstrate …
Asymptotically-Optimal Topological Nearest-Neighbor Filtering, Read Sandström, Jory Denny, Nancy M. Amato
Asymptotically-Optimal Topological Nearest-Neighbor Filtering, Read Sandström, Jory Denny, Nancy M. Amato
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
Nearest-neighbor finding is a major bottleneck for sampling-based motion planning algorithms. The cost of finding nearest neighbors grows with the size of the roadmap, leading to a significant computational bottleneck for problems which require many configurations to find a solution. In this work, we develop a method of mapping configurations of a jointed robot to neighborhoods in the workspace that supports fast search for configurations in nearby neighborhoods. This expedites nearest-neighbor search by locating a small set of the most likely candidates for connecting to the query with a local plan. We show that this filtering technique can preserve asymptotically-optimal …

On Quasilinear Parabolic Equations And Continuous Maximal Regularity, Jeremy Lecrone, Gieri Simonett
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
We consider a class of abstract quasilinear parabolic problems with lower–order terms exhibiting a prescribed singular structure. We prove well–posedness and Lipschitz continuity of associated semiflows. Moreover, we investigate global existence of solutions and we extend the generalized principle of linearized stability to settings with initial values in critical spaces. These general results are applied to the surface diffusion flow in various settings.

Score Following With Hidden Tempo Using A Switching State-Space Model, Yucong Jiang, Chris Raphael
Score Following With Hidden Tempo Using A Switching State-Space Model, Yucong Jiang, Chris Raphael
Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications
A score-following program traces the notes in a musical score during a performance. This capability is essential to many meaningful applications that synchronize audio with a score in an on-line fashion. Existing algorithms often stumble on certain difficult cases, one of which is piano music. This paper presents a new method to tackle such cases. The method treats tempo as a variable rather than a constant (with constraints), allowing the program to adapt to live performance variations. This is first expressed by a Kalman filter model at the note level, and then by an almost equivalent switching state-space model at …
