This paper presents a partial differential equation (PDE)-based surface modelling and simulation framework for lily flowers. We use a PDE-based surface modelling technique to represent shape of a lily flower and PDE-based dynamic simulation to animate blossom and decay processes of lily flowers. To this aim, we first automatically construct the geometry of lily flowers from photos to obtain feature curves. Second, we apply a PDE-based surface modelling technique to generate sweeping surfaces to obtain geometric models of the flowers. Then, we use a physics-driven and data-based method and introduce the flower shapes at the initial and final positions into our proposed dynamic deformation model to generate a realistic deformation of flower blossom and decay. The results demonstrate that our proposed technique can create realistic flower models and their movements and shape changes against time efficiently with a small data size.

We address the cost-efficient operation of an energy production system under renewables uncertainty. We develop an MDP model for an idealized system with the following features: (1) perfectly predictable power demand, (2) a renewable power source subject to uncertain forecast, (3) limited energy storage, (4) an unlimited fast-ramping power source, and (5) a slow-ramping power source which requires (optimal) planning. A finite-horizon stochastic optimization problem is introduced to minimize the overall cost of operating the system, and then solved numerically using standard approaches (based on backward induction) and available data. In contrast with the unit commitment problem which is traditionally optimized for a single planning frame, we show in simple scenarios that it may be beneficial to optimize over a few planning frames, and that there is no benefit to considering longer (e.g., infinite) horizons. We discretize the state space in an attempt to mitigate the curse of dimensionality usually associated with numerically solving MDPs. We note that few discretization states already yield a significant decrease in the total cost.
In this work, we conduct the first systematic study of stochastic variational inequality (SVI) and stochastic saddle point (SSP) problems under the constraint of differential privacy (DP). We propose two algorithms: N...

The Alternating Current Optimal Power Flow (AC OPF) is crucial for power system analysis, yet existing algorithms face challenges in meeting the diverse requirements of practical applications. This paper presents a Pyramidal Relaxation (PR) formulation of the Branch Flow Model (BFM) for AC OPF, where surface conical constraints are approximated through a union of tetrahedrons in a Mixed Integer Linear programming (MILP) relaxation. To reduce problem size and to enhance computational efficiency, we proposed a Dynamic Pyramidal Relaxation (DPR) method, where the cuts (inner approximation and outer approximation) are adaptively added. In practice, the DPR method is embedded into a MILP commercial solver based on the branch-and-cut framework. Case studies in different test systems validate the effectiveness in terms of feasibility, accuracy, and efficiency of our proposed method.
In this paper, we consider a class of nonconvex complex quadratic programming (CQP) problems, which find a broad spectrum of signal processing applications. By using the polar coordinate representations of the complex...
