Global Continuation of a Vlasov Model of Rotating Galaxies
Walter A. Strauss, Yilun Wu
A typical galaxy consists of a huge number of stars attracted to each other by gravity. For instance, the Milky Way has about stars. Thus it is typically modeled by the V…
ALPaCA vs. GP-based Prior Learning: A Comparison between two Bayesian Meta-Learning Algorithms
Yilun Wu
Meta-learning or few-shot learning, has been successfully applied in a wide range of domains from computer vision to reinforcement learning. Among the many frameworks proposed for…
Rapidly Rotating White Dwarfs
Walter Strauss, Yilun Wu
A rotating star may be modeled as a continuous system of particles attracted to each other by gravity and with a given total mass and prescribed angular velocity. Mathematically th…
The Phoenix Drone: An Open-Source Dual-Rotor Tail-Sitter Platform for Research and Education
Yilun Wu, Xintong Du, Rikky Duivenvoorden +1
In this paper, we introduce the Phoenix drone: the first completely open-source tail-sitter micro aerial vehicle (MAV) platform. The vehicle has a highly versatile, dual-rotor desi…
Rapidly Rotating Stars
Yilun Wu, Walter Strauss
A rotating star may be modeled as a continuous system of particles attracted to each other by gravity and with a given total mass and prescribed angular velocity. Mathematically th…
Steady States of Rotating Stars and Galaxies
Walter Strauss, Yilun Wu
A rotating continuum of particles attracted to each other by gravity may be modeled by the Euler-Poisson system. The existence of solutions is a very classical problem. Here it is…
