Some results on the Guest-Hutchinson modes and periodic mechanisms of the Kagome lattice metamaterial
Xuenan Li, Robert V. Kohn
Lattice materials are interesting mechanical metamaterials, and their mechanical properties are often related to the presence of mechanisms. The existence of periodic mechanisms ca…
A New Approach to Drifting Games, Based on Asymptotically Optimal Potentials
Zhilei Wang, Robert V. Kohn
We develop a new approach to drifting games, a class of two-person games with many applications to boosting and online learning settings. Our approach involves (a) guessing an asym…
An energy minimization approach to twinning with variable volume fraction
Sergio Conti, Robert Kohn, Oleksandr Misiats
In materials that undergo martensitic phase transformation, macroscopic loading often leads to the creation and/or rearrangement of elastic domains. This paper considers an example…
Complex Analytic Dependence on the Dielectric Permittivity in ENZ Materials: The Photonic Doping Example
Robert V. Kohn, Raghavendra Venkatraman
Motivated by the physics literature on "photonic doping" of scatterers made from "epsilon-near-zero" (ENZ) matrials, we consider how the scattering of time-harmonic TM electromagne…
A PDE-Based Analysis of the Symmetric Two-Armed Bernoulli Bandit
Vladimir A. Kobzar, Robert V. Kohn
This work addresses a version of the two-armed Bernoulli bandit problem where the sum of the means of the arms is one (the symmetric two-armed Bernoulli bandit). In a regime where…
A PDE Approach to the Prediction of a Binary Sequence with Advice from Two History-Dependent Experts
Nadejda Drenska, Robert V. Kohn
The prediction of a binary sequence is a classic example of online machine learning. We like to call it the 'stock prediction problem,' viewing the sequence as the price history of…
