Inverse source problems for a multidimensional time-fractional wave equation with integral overdetermination conditions arxiv.org/abs/2503.17404

Inverse source problems for a multidimensional time-fractional wave equation with integral overdetermination conditions

In this paper, we consider two linear inverse problems for the time-fractional wave equation, assuming that its right-hand side takes the separable form $f(t)h(x)$, where $t \geq 0$ and $x \in Ω\subset R^N $. The objective is to determine the unknown function $f(t)$ (Inverse Problem 1) and $h(x)$ (Inverse Problem 2), given that the other function is known. For Inverse Problem 1, we impose an overdetermination condition in the form of a spatial integral over the domain $Ω$, involving the solution of the corresponding direct problem an initial-boundary value problem with standard Cauchy conditions and homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The integral is weighted by the known spatial factor h(x) from the right-hand side of the equation. This choice of an additional condition enables the explicit construction of a solution to the inverse problem and allows us to prove its unique solvability within the class of regular solutions. To study the direct problem, the regular solution approach is used. For Inverse Problem 2, we introduce a novel integral-type additional condition, referred to as the time-averaged velocity, incorporating an appropriate weight function. The time-dependent factor of the right-hand side of the equation serves as this weight function. Depending on its choice, the additional condition reduces to specifying either the final-time offset or the time-averaged offset. Under this formulation, we establish a new uniqueness result.

Model reduction of convection-dominated viscous conservation laws using implicit feature tracking and landmark image registration arxiv.org/abs/2503.17463

Model reduction of convection-dominated viscous conservation laws using implicit feature tracking and landmark image registration

Reduced-order models (ROMs) remain generally unreliable for convection-dominated problems, such as those encountered in hypersonic flows, due to the slowly decaying Kolmogorov $n$-width of linear subspace approximations, known as the Kolmogorov barrier. This limitation hinders the accuracy of traditional ROMs and necessitates impractical amounts of training data during the offline phase. To address this challenge, we introduce a novel landmark-based registration procedure tailored for ROMs of convection-dominated problems. Our approach leverages limited training data and incorporates a nonlinear transformation of the data using a landmark-based registration technique combined with radial basis function (RBF) interpolation. During the offline phase, we align dominant convective features in a reference domain, resulting in a rapid decay of error relative to the reduced space dimension. Landmarks are generated through a three-step process: (1) detecting shocks via edge detection techniques, (2) sampling using Monte Carlo methods, and (3) domain partitioning with $k$-means clustering, where cluster centroids serve as landmarks. Accurate landmark correspondence is achieved by minimizing pairing distances for similar features. The online phase integrates standard minimum-residual ROM methodologies, extending the optimization space to include admissible domain mappings. We validate our approach on two test cases: a space-time Burgers' equation parameterized by the initial condition, and a hypersonic viscous flow over a cylinder parameterized by the Mach number. Results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in overcoming the Kolmogorov barrier and enhancing the reliability of ROMs for convection-dominated problems.

A Digital Twin Simulator of a Pastillation Process with Applications to Automatic Control based on Computer Vision

We present a digital-twin simulator for a pastillation process. The simulation framework produces realistic thermal image data of the process that is used to train computer vision-based soft sensors based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs); the soft sensors produce output signals for temperature and product flow rate that enable real-time monitoring and feedback control. Pastillation technologies are high-throughput devices that are used in a broad range of industries; these processes face operational challenges such as real-time identification of clog locations (faults) in the rotating shell and the automatic, real-time adjustment of conveyor belt speed and operating conditions to stabilize output. The proposed simulator is able to capture this behavior and generates realistic data that can be used to benchmark different algorithms for image processing and different control architectures. We present a case study to illustrate the capabilities; the study explores behavior over a range of equipment sizes, clog locations, and clog duration. A feedback controller (tuned using Bayesian optimization) is used to adjust the conveyor belt speed based on the CNN output signal to achieve the desired process outputs.

Transformer-based Wireless Symbol Detection Over Fading Channels

Pre-trained Transformers, through in-context learning (ICL), have demonstrated exceptional capabilities to adapt to new tasks using example prompts without model update. Transformer-based wireless receivers, where prompts consist of the pilot data in the form of transmitted and received signal pairs, have shown high detection accuracy when pilot data are abundant. However, pilot information is often costly and limited in practice. In this work, we propose the DEcision Feedback INcontExt Detection (DEFINED) solution as a new wireless receiver design, which bypasses channel estimation and directly performs symbol detection using the (sometimes extremely) limited pilot data. The key innovation in DEFINED is the proposed decision feedback mechanism in ICL, where we sequentially incorporate the detected symbols into the prompts as pseudo-labels to improve the detection for subsequent symbols. Furthermore, we proposed another detection method where we combine ICL with Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) to extract information from both labeled and unlabeled data during inference, thus avoiding the errors propagated during the decision feedback process of the original DEFINED. Extensive experiments across a broad range of wireless communication settings demonstrate that a small Transformer trained with DEFINED or IC-SSL achieves significant performance improvements over conventional methods, in some cases only needing a single pilot pair to achieve similar performance of the latter with more than 4 pilot pairs.
