15 Jun 2019TL;DR: In this article, the Wasserstein distance is used as a geometric prior for the reconstruction of a discrete surface from a point cloud, which is a fundamental geometry processing problem that has been studied for decades.
Abstract: The reconstruction of a discrete surface from a point cloud is a fundamental geometry processing problem that has been studied for decades, with many methods developed. We propose the use of a deep neural network as a geometric prior for surface reconstruction. Specifically, we overfit a neural network representing a local chart parameterization to part of an input point cloud using the Wasserstein distance as a measure of approximation. By jointly fitting many such networks to overlapping parts of the point cloud, while enforcing a consistency condition, we compute a manifold atlas. By sampling this atlas, we can produce a dense reconstruction of the surface approximating the input cloud. The entire procedure does not require any training data or explicit regularization, yet, we show that it is able to perform remarkably well: not introducing typical overfitting artifacts, and approximating sharp features closely at the same time. We experimentally show that this geometric prior produces good results for both man-made objects containing sharp features and smoother organic objects, as well as noisy inputs. We compare our method with a number of well-known reconstruction methods on a standard surface reconstruction benchmark.

TL;DR: In this article, an adiabatic electron model was used to simulate global electrostatic ITG turbulence physics, together with background dynamics, in a realistic tokamak core geometry using XGC1, a full-function 5D gyrokinetic particle code.
Abstract: Global electrostatic ITG turbulence physics, together with background dynamics, has been simulated in a realistic tokamak core geometry using XGC1, a full-function 5D gyrokinetic particle code. An adiabatic electron model has been used. Some verification exercises of XGC1 have been presented. The simulation volume extends from the magnetic axis to the pedestal top inside the magnetic separatrix. Central heating is applied, and a number, momentum and energy conserving linearized Monte Carlo Coulomb collision is used. In the turbulent region, the ion temperature gradient profile self-organizes globally around R/LT = (Rd logT/dr = major radius on the magnetic axis/temperature gradient length) 6.5–7, which is somewhat above the conventional nonlinear criticality of 6. The self-organized ion temperature gradient profile is approximately stiff against variation of heat source magnitude. Results indicate that the relaxation to a self-organized state proceeds in two phases, namely, a transient phase of excessively bursty transport followed by a 1/f avalanching phase. The bursty types of behaviour are allowed by the quasi-periodic collapse of local E × B shearing barriers.

TL;DR: A new low-dimensional stochastic model is developed here, which mimics key features of atmospheric general circulation models, to test the fidelity of Stochastic mode reduction procedures.
Abstract: Systematic strategies from applied mathematics for stochastic modelling in climate are reviewed here. One of the topics discussed is the stochastic modelling of mid-latitude low-frequency variability through a few teleconnection patterns, including the central role and physical mechanisms responsible for multiplicative noise. A new low-dimensional stochastic model is developed here, which mimics key features of atmospheric general circulation models, to test the fidelity of stochastic mode reduction procedures. The second topic discussed here is the systematic design of stochastic lattice models to capture irregular and highly intermittent features that are not resolved by a deterministic parametrization. A recent applied mathematics design principle for stochastic column modelling with intermittency is illustrated in an idealized setting for deep tropical convection; the practical effect of this stochastic model in both slowing down convectively coupled waves and increasing their fluctuations is presented here.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived uniform surface order large deviation estimates for the block magnetization in finite volume Ising (or Potts) models with plus or free boundary conditions in the phase coexistence regime ford ≥ 3.
Abstract: We derive uniform surface order large deviation estimates for the block magnetization in finite volume Ising (or Potts) models with plus or free (or a combination of both) boundary conditions in the phase coexistence regime ford≧3. The results are valid up to a limit of slab-thresholds, conjectured to agree with the critical temperature. Our arguments are based on the renormalization of the random cluster model withq≧1 andd≧3, and on corresponding large deviation estimates for the occurrence in a box of a largest cluster with density close to the percolation probability. The results are new even for the case of independent percolation (q=1). As a byproduct of our methods, we obtain further results in the FK model concerning semicontinuity (inp andq) of the percolation probability, the second largest cluster in a box and the tail of the finite cluster size distribution.
