This study presents a generalized multiscale nonlocal elasticity theory that leverages distributed order fractional calculus to accurately capture coexisting multiscale and nonlocal effects within a macroscopic continuum. The nonlocal multiscale behavior is captured via distributed order fractional constitutive relations derived from a nonlocal thermodynamic formulation. The governing equations of the inhomogeneous continuum are obtained via the Hamilton principle. As a generalization of the constant order fractional continuum theory, the distributed order theory can model complex media characterized by inhomogeneous nonlocality and multiscale effects. In order to understand the correspondence between microscopic effects and the properties of the continuum, an equivalent mass-spring lattice model is also developed by direct discretization of the distributed order elastic continuum. Detailed theoretical arguments are provided to show the equivalence between the discrete and the continuum distributed order models in terms of internal nonlocal forces, potential energy distribution, and boundary conditions. These theoretical arguments facilitate the physical interpretation of the role played by the distributed order framework within nonlocal elasticity theories. They also highlight the outstanding potential and opportunities offered by this methodology to account for multiscale nonlocal effects. The capabilities of the methodology are also illustrated via a numerical study that highlights the excellent agreement between the displacement profiles and the total potential energy predicted by the two models under various order distributions. Remarkably, multiscale effects such as displacement distortion, material softening, and energy concentration are well captured at continuum level by the distributed order theory.

This work presents a numerical formulation to model isotropic viscoelastic material behavior for membranes and thin shells. The surface and the shell theory are formulated within a curvilinear coordinate system, which allows the representation of general surfaces and deformations. The kinematics follow from Kirchhoff-Love theory and the discretization makes use of isogeometric shape functions. A multiplicative split of the surface deformation gradient is employed, such that an intermediate surface configuration is introduced. The surface metric and curvature of this intermediate configuration follow from the solution of nonlinear evolution laws - ordinary differential equations (ODEs) - that stem from a generalized viscoelastic solid model. The evolution laws are integrated numerically with the implicit Euler scheme and linearized within the Newton-Raphson scheme of the nonlinear finite element framework. The implementation of surface and bending viscosity is verified with the help of analytical solutions and shows ideal convergence behavior. The chosen numerical examples capture large deformations and typical viscoelasticity behavior, such as creep, relaxation, and strain rate dependence. It is shown that the proposed formulation can also be straightforwardly applied to model boundary viscoelasticity of 3D bodies.
Emerging distributed cloud architectures, e.g., fog and mobile edge computing, are playing an increasingly important role in the efficient delivery of real-time stream-processing applications such as augmented reality, multiplayer gaming, and industrial automation. While such applications require processed streams to be shared and simultaneously consumed by multiple users/devices, existing technologies lack efficient mechanisms to deal with their inherent multicast nature, leading to unnecessary traffic redundancy and network congestion. In this paper, we establish a unified framework for distributed cloud network control with generalized (mixed-cast) traffic flows that allows optimizing the distributed execution of the required packet processing, forwarding, and replication operations. We first characterize the enlarged multicast network stability region under the new control framework (with respect to its unicast counterpart). We then design a novel queuing system that allows scheduling data packets according to their current destination sets, and leverage Lyapunov drift-plus-penalty theory to develop the first fully decentralized, throughput- and cost-optimal algorithm for multicast cloud network flow control. Numerical experiments validate analytical results and demonstrate the performance gain of the proposed design over existing cloud network control techniques.
Conditional independence models associated with directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) may be characterized in at least three different ways: via a factorization, the global Markov property (given by the d-separation criterion), and the local Markov property. Marginals of DAG models also imply equality constraints that are not conditional independences; the well-known `Verma constraint' is an example. Constraints of this type are used for testing edges, and in a computationally efficient marginalization scheme via variable elimination. We show that equality constraints like the `Verma constraint' can be viewed as conditional independences in kernel objects obtained from joint distributions via a fixing operation that generalizes conditioning and marginalization. We use these constraints to define, via ordered local and global Markov properties, and a factorization, a graphical model associated with acyclic directed mixed graphs (ADMGs). We prove that marginal distributions of DAG models lie in this model, and that a set of these constraints given by Tian provides an alternative definition of the model. Finally, we show that the fixing operation used to define the model leads to a particularly simple characterization of identifiable causal effects in hidden variable causal DAG models.
We study the distributed minimum spanning tree (MST) problem, a fundamental problem in distributed computing. It is well-known that distributed MST can be solved in $\tilde{O}(D+\sqrt{n})$ rounds in the standard CONGEST model (where $n$ is the network size and $D$ is the network diameter) and this is essentially the best possible round complexity (up to logarithmic factors). However, in resource-constrained networks such as ad hoc wireless and sensor networks, nodes spending so much time can lead to significant spending of resources such as energy. Motivated by the above consideration, we study distributed algorithms for MST under the \emph{sleeping model} [Chatterjee et al., PODC 2020], a model for design and analysis of resource-efficient distributed algorithms. In the sleeping model, a node can be in one of two modes in any round -- \emph{sleeping} or \emph{awake} (unlike the traditional model where nodes are always awake). Only the rounds in which a node is \emph{awake} are counted, while \emph{sleeping} rounds are ignored. A node spends resources only in the awake rounds and hence the main goal is to minimize the \emph{awake complexity} of a distributed algorithm, the worst-case number of rounds any node is awake. We present deterministic and randomized distributed MST algorithms that have an \emph{optimal} awake complexity of $O(\log n)$ time with a matching lower bound. We also show that our randomized awake-optimal algorithm has essentially the best possible round complexity by presenting a lower bound of $\tilde{\Omega}(n)$ on the product of the awake and round complexity of any distributed algorithm (including randomized) that outputs an MST, where $\tilde{\Omega}$ hides a $1/(\text{polylog } n)$ factor.
Maximal Independent Set (MIS) is one of the central and most well-studied problems in distributed computing. Even after four decades of intensive research, the best-known (randomized) MIS algorithms take $O(\log{n})$ worst-case rounds on general graphs (where $n$ is the number of nodes), while the best-known lower bound is $\Omega\left(\sqrt{\frac{\log{n}}{\log{\log{n}}}}\right)$ rounds. Breaking past the $O(\log{n})$ worst-case bound or showing stronger lower bounds have been longstanding open problems. Our main contribution is that we show that MIS can be computed in (worst-case) awake complexity of $O(\log \log n)$ rounds that is (essentially) exponentially better compared to the (traditional) round complexity lower bound of $\Omega\left(\sqrt{\frac{\log{n}}{\log{\log{n}}}}\right)$. Specifically, we present the following results. (1) We present a randomized distributed (Monte Carlo) algorithm for MIS that with high probability computes an MIS and has $O(\log\log{n})$-rounds awake complexity. This algorithm has (traditional) {\em round complexity} that is $O(poly(n))$. Our bounds hold in the $CONGEST(O(polylog n))$ model where only $O(polylog n)$ (specifically $O(\log^3 n)$) bits are allowed to be sent per edge per round. (2) We also show that we can drastically reduce the round complexity at the cost of a slight increase in awake complexity by presenting a randomized MIS algorithm with $O(\log \log n \log^* n )$ awake complexity and $O(\log^3 n \log \log n \log^*n)$ round complexity in the $CONGEST(O(polylog n))$ model.
There has been an arising trend of adopting deep learning methods to study partial differential equations (PDEs). This article is to propose a Deep Learning Galerkin Method (DGM) for the closed-loop geothermal system, which is a new coupled multi-physics PDEs and mainly consists of a framework of underground heat exchange pipelines to extract the geothermal heat from the geothermal reservoir. This method is a natural combination of Galerkin Method and machine learning with the solution approximated by a neural network instead of a linear combination of basis functions. We train the neural network by randomly sampling the spatiotemporal points and minimize loss function to satisfy the differential operators, initial condition, boundary and interface conditions. Moreover, the approximate ability of the neural network is proved by the convergence of the loss function and the convergence of the neural network to the exact solution in L^2 norm under certain conditions. Finally, some numerical examples are carried out to demonstrate the approximation ability of the neural networks intuitively.
In this article we suggest two discretization methods based on isogeometric analysis (IGA) for planar linear elasticity. On the one hand, we apply the well-known ansatz of weakly imposed symmetry for the stress tensor and obtain a well-posed mixed formulation. Such modified mixed problems have been already studied by different authors. But we concentrate on the exploitation of IGA results to handle also curved boundary geometries. On the other hand, we consider the more complicated situation of strong symmetry, i.e. we discretize the mixed weak form determined by the so-called Hellinger-Reissner variational principle. We show the existence of suitable approximate fields leading to an inf-sup stable saddle-point problem. For both discretization approaches we prove convergence statements and in case of weak symmetry we illustrate the approximation behavior by means of several numerical experiments.
This manuscript gives a theoretical framework for a new Hilbert space of functions, the so called occupation kernel Hilbert space (OKHS), that operate on collections of signals rather than real or complex numbers. To support this new definition, an explicit class of OKHSs is given through the consideration of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). This space enables the definition of nonlocal operators, such as fractional order Liouville operators, as well as spectral decomposition methods for corresponding fractional order dynamical systems. In this manuscript, a fractional order DMD routine is presented, and the details of the finite rank representations are given. Significantly, despite the added theoretical content through the OKHS formulation, the resultant computations only differ slightly from that of occupation kernel DMD methods for integer order systems posed over RKHSs.
In this paper, we consider the constrained energy minimizing generalized multiscale finite element method (CEM-GMsFEM) with discontinuous Galerkin (DG) coupling for the linear elasticity equations in highly heterogeneous and high contrast media. We will introduce the construction of a DG version of the CEM-GMsFEM, such as auxiliary basis functions and offline basis functions. The DG version of the method offers some advantages such as flexibility in coarse grid construction and sparsity of resulting discrete systems. Moreover, to our best knowledge, this is the first time where the proof of the convergence of the CEM-GMsFEM in the DG form is given. Some numerical examples will be presented to illustrate the performance of the method.
We demonstrate that merely analog transmissions and match filtering can realize the function of an edge server in federated learning (FL). Therefore, a network with massively distributed user equipments (UEs) can achieve large-scale FL without an edge server. We also develop a training algorithm that allows UEs to continuously perform local computing without being interrupted by the global parameter uploading, which exploits the full potential of UEs' processing power. We derive convergence rates for the proposed schemes to quantify their training efficiency. The analyses reveal that when the interference obeys a Gaussian distribution, the proposed algorithm retrieves the convergence rate of a server-based FL. But if the interference distribution is heavy-tailed, then the heavier the tail, the slower the algorithm converges. Nonetheless, the system run time can be largely reduced by enabling computation in parallel with communication, whereas the gain is particularly pronounced when communication latency is high. These findings are corroborated via excessive simulations.
