Quantifying Ethereum Energy Consumption via Network Mapping

Yahn Costa Hackspacher, Cornelius Ihle, Vasundhara Shaw +4

Ethereum's electricity use fell by about 99.95% after the move from proof of work to proof of stake. Service providers still need to report operational energy use, e.g. under the E…

Large-Scale Measurement of NAT Traversal for the Decentralized Web: A Case Study of DCUtR in IPFS

Dennis Trautwein, Cornelius Ihle, Moritz Schubotz +2

The promise of decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is fundamentally gated by the challenge of Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal, with existing solutions often reintr…

Review of thermodynamic structures and structure-preserving discretisations of Cahn--Hilliard-type models

Aaron Brunk, Marco F. P. ten Eikelder, Marvin Fritz +2

The Cahn-Hilliard equation and extensions, notably the Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy and Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes systems, provide widely used frameworks for coupling interfacial thermody…

Curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes: A gradient flow approach

Patrik Knopf, Anastasija Pešić, Dennis Trautwein

In this work, we study a phase-field model for curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes. The model is derived as a gradient flow of an energy functional that approximates…

Multiple Sides of 36 Coins: Measuring Peer-to-Peer Infrastructure Across Cryptocurrencies

Lucianna Kiffer, Lioba Heimbach, Dennis Trautwein +2

Blockchain technologies underpin an expanding ecosystem of decentralized applications, financial systems, and infrastructure. However, the fundamental networking layer that sustain…
