Retraction based regression methods on Riemannian manifolds

Estefanía Loayza-Romero, Benedikt Sibum, Kathrin Welker

Geodesic regression generalizes classical regression models to manifold-valued data by replacing affine models in Euclidean spaces with geodesic models on Riemannian manifolds. In…

Numerical techniques for geodesic approximation in Riemannian shape optimization

Estefania Loayza-Romero, Kathrin Welker

Shape optimization is commonly applied in engineering to optimize shapes with respect to an objective functional relying on PDE solutions. In this paper, we view shape optimization…

A Riemannian approach for PDE-constrained shape optimization over the diffeomorphism group using outer metrics

Estefania Loayza-Romero, Lidiya Pryymak, Kathrin Welker

In this paper, we study the use of outer metrics, in particular Sobolev-type metrics on the diffeomorphism group in the context of PDE-constrained shape optimization. Leveraging th…

A general formulation of reweighted least squares fitting

Carlotta Giannelli, Sofia Imperatore, Lisa Maria Kreusser +3

We present a generalized formulation for reweighted least squares approximations. The goal of this article is twofold: firstly, to prove that the solution of such problem can be ex…

Multi-level Optimal Control with Neural Surrogate Models

Dante Kalise, Estefanía Loayza-Romero, Kirsten A. Morris +1

Optimal actuator and control design is studied as a multi-level optimisation problem, where the actuator design is evaluated based on the performance of the associated optimal clos…

A Discretize-Then-Optimize Approach to PDE-Constrained Shape Optimization

Roland Herzog, Estefanía Loayza-Romero

We consider discretized two-dimensional PDE-constrained shape optimization problems, in which shapes are represented by triangular meshes. Given the connectivity, the space of admi…
