On the Choice of Average Solar Zenith Angle
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-08)Idealized climate modeling studies often choose to neglect spatiotemporal variations in solar radiation, but doing so comes with an important decision about how to average solar radiation in space and time. Since both ... -
On the choice of random wave simulation in the surf zone processes
(Coastal Engineering Research Council, 2010)In this paper, the two common approaches to account for wave randomness, the spectral approach and the wave-by-wave approach, are compared through numerical experiments conducted with the coupling of a surf zone hydrodynamic ... -
On the Chvátal–Gomory closure of a compact convex set
(Springer-Verlag, 2013-03)In this paper, we show that the Chvátal–Gomory closure of any compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question of Schrijver (Ann Discret Math 9:291–296, 1980) for irrational polytopes, and generalizes ... -

On the Circle Covering Theorem by A.W. Goodman and R.E. Goodman
(Springer US, 2017-03)In 1945, A.W. Goodman and R.E. Goodman proved the following conjecture by P. Erdős: Given a family of (round) disks of radii r[subscript 1],..., r[subscript n] in the plane, it is always possible to cover them by a disk ... -
On the classification of Heegaard splittings
(Duke University Press, 2018-10)The long-standing classification problem in the theory of Heegaard splittings of 3- manifolds is to exhibit for each closed 3-manifold a complete list, without duplication, of all its irreducible Heegaard surfaces, up to ... -
On the classification of non-equal rank affine conformal embeddings and applications
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018)© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. We complete the classification of conformal embeddings of a maximally reductive subalgebra k into a simple Lie algebra g at non-integrable non-critical ... -
On the classification of tempered representations for a group in the Harish-Chandra class
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
On the Cleanness of Cuspidal Character Sheaves
(National Research University, Higher School of Economics (HSE), 2011-01)We prove the cleanness of cuspidal character sheaves in arbitrary characteristic in the few cases where it was previously unknown. -
On the climate variability of tropical cyclone potential intensity and Atlantic hurricane activity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)From a meteorological standpoint, the most important questions one needs to answer about a given tropical cyclone is how strong the winds generated by the event can become. From a climatological standpoint, it is critical ... -
On the Climate-Agriculture-Water Nexus at the Regional Scale
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)Development of large-scale agriculture is one of the most significant anthropogenic global change processes during the 20𝑡h century. In this thesis, connections between climate, agriculture, and water availability are ... -
On the cohomology of compact unitary group Shimura varieties at ramified split places
(American Mathematical Society (AMS), 2012-08)In this article, we prove results about the cohomology of compact unitary group Shimura varieties at split places. In nonendoscopic cases, we are able to give a full description of the cohomology, after restricting to ... -
On the combinatorics of representations of Sp(2n,C)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
On the communication complexity of distributed algebraic computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems], 1989) -
On the Communication Complexity of Read-Once AC^0 Formulae
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2009-09)We study the 2-party randomized communication complexity of read-once AC[superscript 0] formulae. For balanced AND-OR trees T with n inputs and depth d, we show that the communication complexity of the function f[superscript ... -
On the communication complexity of solving a polynominal equation
(Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology], 1989) -
On the comparison of human capital and physical capital
(Cambridge, Mass. : Center for International Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1961], 1961) -
On the complete testing of simple safety-related software
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
On the completeness of ensembles of motion planners for decentralized planning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-05)We provide a set of sufficient conditions to establish the completeness of an ensemble of motion planners-that is, a set of loosely-coupled motion planners that produce a unified result. The planners are assumed to divide ... -
On the Complexity of Nonconvex-Strongly-Concave Smooth Minimax Optimization Using First-Order Methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)The problem of minimax optimization arises in a wide range of applications. When the objective function is convex-concave, almost the full picture is known. However, the general nonconvex-concave setting is less understood. ...
