Der Beitrag stellt eine Verallgemeinerung der Ergebnisse dar, die in den Informationen/07; 1976,05 veröffentlicht wurden. Sei F_n(x) die Verteilungsfunktion der Summe X_1+X_2+...+X_n, wobei X_1, X_2, ...,X_n unabhängige und nicht notwendig identisch verteilte Zufallsgrößen mit endlichen absoluten Momenten c_m, m>2, sind, und sei Phi die standardisierte Normalverteilungsfunktion. Es werden absolute Konstanten L_m derart berechnet, dass wir Fehlerabschätzungen im unleichmäßigen zentralen Grenzwertsatz explizit angeben können. Als Spezialfall ergibt sich die ungleichmäßige Fehlerschranke von A.BIKELIS (1966) im Fall der Existenz dritter absoluter Momente. Weiterhin werden Grenzwertsätze unter Voraussetzung einseitiger Momente betrachtet. Es werden einige Literaturhinweise angegeben.:1. Grenzwertsätze für verschieden verteilte Zufallsgrößen S. 1 2.

Let F_n(x) be the cdf of X_1+X_2+...+X_n, where X_1, X_2, ...,X_n are non iid random variables with m-th absolute moment c_m, m>2, and Phi the cdf of the unit normal law. Explicit universal constants L_m are computed such that we have some error estimates in the nonuniform central limit theorem. A special case is the nonuniform error bound by A.BIKELIS (1966) in the case of existence of third absolute moments. Furthermore limit theorems with assumption of onesided moments are considered.

Le sujet de la thèse porte sur la mise en place d’approches numériques avancées pour la simulation et l’optimisation de structures mécaniques présentant une géométrie complexe. Il se focalise sur l’analyse isogéométrique (IGA) qui a reçu beaucoup d’intérêt cette dernière décennie dû à sa grande flexibilité, précision, et robustesse dans de nombreux contextes industriels comparé à la méthode des éléments finis (FEA) classique. En particulier, la technologie IGA fournit un lien direct avec les logiciels de CAO (les mêmes fonctions sont utilisées pour la représentation de la géométrie et l’analyse numérique) et facilite les procédures de maillage.Dans ce contexte, et comme première partie du travail, une méthode de vérification basée sur la dualité et le concept d’erreur en relation de comportement (ERC) est proposé. Il permet d’obtenir des estimateurs d’erreur a posteriori à la fois garantis et entièrement calculables pour les solutions numériques issues de simulation par IGA. Ces estimateurs, valables pour une large gamme de modèles linéaires ou non-linéaires en mécanique des structures, constituent donc des outils performants et utiles pour le contrôle quantitatif de la qualité numérique et pour la conduite de procédures adaptatives. Un intérêt particulier est porté sur la construction de champs équilibrés, qui est un point clé du concept ERC, et qui jusqu’à présent était essentiellement développée dans le cadre de la méthode des éléments finis. L’extension au contexte IGA nécessite d’aborder plusieurs problèmes techniques, liés à l’utilisation de fonctions de base B-Spline/NURBS. Le concept ERC est aussi mis en oeuvre avec les techniques d’adjoint pour faire de l’estimation d’erreur sur des quantités d’intérêt.Dans une seconde partie du travail, la technologie IGA est couplée avec une procédure de réduction de modèle pour obtenir des solutions certifiées, et en temps réel, de problèmes avec une géométrie paramétrée. Après avoir défini le paramétrage sur la transformation permettant de passer de l’espace paramétrique IGA à l’espace physique, un modèle réduit basé sur la technique PGD (Proper Generalized Decomposition) est introduit pour résoudre le problème multi-dimensionnel. Avec une stratégie hors-ligne/en-ligne, la procédure permet alors de décrire l’ensemble des solutions paramétrées avec un coût de calcul réduit, et de faire de l’optimisation de forme en temps réel. Ici encore, l’estimation a posteriori des diverses sources d’erreur venant de la discrétisation et de la réduction de modèle PGD est menée à partir du concept ERC. Cela permet de contrôler la qualité de la solution PGD approchée (globalement ou sur des quantités d’intérêt), pour toute configuration géométrique, et de nourrir un algorithme adaptatif qui optimise l’effort de calcul pour une tolérance d’erreur donnée.Le travail de recherche dans son ensemble fournit donc des outils pertinents et pratiques pour les activités de simulation en ingénierie mécanique. Le potentiel et les performances de ces outils sont montrés à travers plusieurs exemples numériques impliquant des problèmes académiques et industriels, et des modèles linéaires et non-linéaires (endommagement). / The topic of the PhD thesis deals with the construction of advanced numerical approaches for the simulation and optimization of mechanical structures with complex geometry. It focuses on the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) technology which has received much attention of the last decade due to its increased flexibility, accuracy, and robustness in many engineering simulations compared to classical Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In particular, IGA enables a direct link with CAD software (the same functions are used for both analysis and geometry) and facilitates meshing procedures.In this framework, and as a first part of the work, a verification method based on duality and the concept of Constitutive Relation Error (CRE) is proposed. It enables to derive guaranteed and fully computable a posteriori error estimates on the numerical solution provided by IGA. Such estimates, which are valid for a wide class of linear or nonlinear structural mechanics models, thus constitute performing and useful tools to quantitatively control the numerical accuracy and drive adaptive procedures. The focus here is on the construction of equilibrated flux fields, which is key ingredient of the CRE concept, and which was until now almost exclusively developed in the FEA framework alone. The extension to IGA requires to address some technical issues, due to the use of B-Spline/NURBS basis functions. The CRE concept is also implemented together with adjoint techniques in order to perform goal-oriented error estimation.In a second part, IGA is coupled with model reduction in order to get certified real-time solutions to problems with parameterized geometry. After defining the parametrization on the mapping from the IGA parametric space to the physical space, a reduced model based on the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) is introduced to solve the multi-dimensional problem. From an offline/online strategy, the procedure then enables to describe the manifold of parametric solutions with reduced CPU cost, and to further perform shape optimization in real-time. Here again, a posteriori estimation of the various error sources inheriting from discretization and PGD model reduction is performed from the CRE concept. It enables to control the quality of the approximate PGD solution (globally or on outputs of interest), for any geometry configuration, and to feed a robust greedy algorithm that optimizes the computational effort for a prescribed error tolerance.The overall research work thus provides for reliable and practical tools in mechanical engineering simulation activities. Capabilities and performance of these tools are shown on several numerical experiments with academic and engineering problems, and with linear and nonlinear (damage) models.

[pt] Os protocolos de comunicação quântica são essenciais para a transmissão segura de informações, utilizando os princípios da mecânica quântica para alcançar uma segurança inatingível por sistemas criptográficos clássicos. Diferentemente dos métodos tradicionais que dependem de chaves criptográficas convencionais, os protocolos quânticos exploram propriedades únicas dos sistemas quânticos para garantir a segurança da comunicação. No entanto, a implementação prática da distribuição quântica de chaves (QKD) é desafiada por erros introduzidos durante a geração e transmissão de estados quânticos e pela possível presença de espiões. Esta dissertação explora algumas das estratégias mais usadas para estimativa de erros, correção de erros e amplificação de privacidade em sistemas de QKD. Por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica e simulações abrangentes, o estudo avalia as técnicas mais eficazes em cada área. O objetivo final desta análise é desenvolver um método a ser implementado na Rede Rio Quântica, uma rede de comunicação quântica metropolitana que interliga as instituições PUC-Rio, CBPF e UFRJ por meio de fibras ópticas e a UFF através de um canal de espaço livre. Os resultados destacam a importância de otimizar as medidas de correção de erros e privacidade para melhorar a confiabilidade e a segurança das redes de comunicação quântica. / [en] Quantum communication protocols are essential for secure transmission of information, utilizing the principles of quantum mechanics to achieve security unattainable by classical cryptographic systems. Unlike traditional methods that rely on conventional cryptographic keys, quantum protocols exploit unique properties of quantum systems to ensure communication security. However, the practical implementation of quantum key distribution (QKD) is challenged by errors introduced during the generation and transmission of quantum states and the potential presence of eavesdroppers. This thesis explores some of the most commonly used strategies for error estimation, error reconciliation, and privacy amplification within QKD systems. Through a literature review and comprehensive simulations, the study evaluates the most effective techniques in each area. The ultimate goal of this analysis is to develop a method to be implemented on Rede Rio Quântica, a metropolitan quantum communication network interlinking the institutions PUC-Rio, CBPF and UFRJ via optical fibers and UFF through a free-space channel. The findings underscore the importance of optimizing error correction and privacy measures to enhance the reliability and security of quantum communication networks.

Esta dissertação trata do problema de processamento de Erros Grosseiros (EGs) com base na aplicação do chamado Índice de Não-Detecção de Erros, ou apenas UI (Undetectability Index), na análise dos resíduos do estimador de estado por mínimos quadrados ponderados. O índice UI foi desenvolvido recentemente e possibilita a classificação das medidas de acordo com as suas características de não refletirem grande parcela de seus erros nos resíduos daquele estimador. As medidas com maiores UIs são aquelas cujos erros são mais difíceis de serem detectados através de métodos que fazem uso da análise dos resíduos, pois grande parcela do erro dessas medidas não aparece no resíduo. Inicialmente demonstrou-se, nesta dissertação, que erros das estimativas das variáveis de estado em um sistema com EG não-detectável (em uma medida de alto índice UI) podem ser mais significativos que em medidas com EGs detectáveis (em medidas com índices UIs baixos). Justificando, dessa forma, a importância de estudos para tornar possível o processamento de EGs em medidas com alto índice UI. Realizou-se, então, nesta dissertação, diversas simulações computacionais buscando analisar a influência de diferentes ponderações de medidas no UI e também nos erros das estimativas das variáveis de estado. Encontrou-se, então, uma maneira que destacou-se como a mais adequada para ponderação das medidas. Por fim, ampliaram-se, nesta dissertação, as pesquisas referentes ao UI para um estimador de estado por mínimos quadrados ponderados híbrido. / This dissertation deals with the problem of Gross Errors processing based on the use of the so-called Undetectability Index, or just UI. This index was developed recently and it is capable to classify the measurements according to their characteristics of not reflecting their errors into the residuals of the weighted least squares state estimation process. Gross errors in measurements with higher UIs are very difficult to be detected by methods based on the residual analysis, as the errors in those measurements are masked, i.e., they are not reflected in the residuals. Initially, this dissertation demonstrates that a non-detectable gross error (error in a measurement with high UI) may affect more the accuracy of the estimated state variables than a detectable gross error (error in a measurement with low UI). Therefore, justifying the importance of studies that make possible gross errors processing in measurements with high UI. In this dissertation, several computational simulations are carried out to analyze the influence of different weights of measurements in the UI index and also in the accuracy of the estimated state variables. It is chosen a way that stood out as the most appropriate for weighing the measurements. Finally, in this dissertation, the studies referring to the UI is extended for a hybrid weighted least squares state estimator.

Energy usage evaluation and condition monitoring for electric machines are important in industry for overall energy savings. Traditionally these functions are realized only for large motors in wired systems formed by communication cables and various types of sensors. The unique characteristics of the wireless sensor networks (WSN) make them the ideal wireless structure for low-cost energy management in industrial plants. This work focuses on developing nonintrusive motor-efficiency-estimation methods, which are essential in the wireless motor-energy-management systems in a WSN architecture that is capable of improving overall energy savings in U.S. industry. This work starts with an investigation of existing motor-efficiency-evaluation methods. Based on the findings, a general approach of developing nonintrusive efficiency-estimation methods is proposed, incorporating sensorless rotor-speed detection, stator-resistance estimation, and loss estimation techniques. Following this approach, two new methods are proposed for estimating the efficiencies of in-service induction motors, using air-gap torque estimation and a modified induction motor equivalent circuit, respectively. The experimental results show that both methods achieve accurate efficiency estimates within ¡À2-3% errors under normal load conditions, using only a few cycles of input voltages and currents. The analytical results obtained from error analysis agree well with the experimental results. Using the proposed efficiency-estimation methods, a closed-loop motor-energy-management scheme for industrial plants with a WSN architecture is proposed. Besides the energy-usage-evaluation algorithms, this scheme also incorporates various sensorless current-based motor-condition-monitoring algorithms. A uniform data interface is defined to seamlessly integrate these energy-evaluation and condition-monitoring algorithms. Prototype wireless sensor devices are designed and implemented to satisfy the specific needs of motor energy management. A WSN test bed is implemented. The applicability of the proposed scheme is validated from the experimental results using multiple motors with different physical configurations under various load conditions. To demonstrate the validity of the measured and estimated motor efficiencies in the experiments presented in this work, an in-depth error analysis on motor efficiency measurement and estimation is conducted, using maximum error estimation, worst-case error estimation, and realistic error estimation techniques. The conclusions, contributions, and recommendations are summarized at the end.

Dans cette thèse nous développons des estimations d'erreur a posteriori par équilibrage de flux pour la poro-mécanique et la poro-plasticité.En se basant sur ces estimations, nous proposons des algorithmes adaptatifs pour la résolution numérique de problèmes en mécanique des sols.Le premier chapitre traite des problèmes en poro-élasticité linéaire.Nous obtenons une borne garantie sur l'erreur en utilisant des reconstructions équilibrées et $H({rm div})$-conformes de la vitesse de Darcy et du tenseur de contraintes mécaniques.Nous appliquons cette estimation dans un algorithme adaptif pour équilibrer les composantes de l'erreur provenant de la discrétisation en espace et en temps pour des simulations en deux dimensions.La contribution principale du chapitre porte sur la reconstruction symétrique du tenseur de contraintes.Dans le deuxième chapitre nous proposons une deuxième technique de reconstruction du tenseur de contraintes dans le cadre de l'élasticité nonlinéaire.En imposant la symétrie faiblement, cette technique améliore les temps de calcul et facilite l'implémentation.Nous démontrons l'éfficacité locale et globale des estimateurs obtenus avec cette reconstruction pour une grande classe de lois en hyperélasticité.En ajoutant un estimateur de l'erreur de linéarisation, nous introduisons des critères d'arrêt adaptatifs pour le solveur de linéarisation.Le troisième chapitre est consacré à l'application industrielle des résultats obtenus. Nous appliquons un algorithme adaptatif à des problèmes poro-mécaniques en trois dimensions avec des lois de comportement mécanique élasto-plastiques. / In this Ph.D. thesis we develop equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimates for poro-mechanical and poro-plasticity problems.Based on these estimations we propose adaptive algorithms for the numerical solution of problems in soil mechanics.The first chapter deals with linear poro-elasticity problems.Using equilibrated $H({rm div})$-conforming flux reconstructions of the Darcy velocity and the mechanical stress tensor, we obtain a guaranteed upper bound on the error.We apply this estimate in an adaptive algorithm balancing the space and time discretisation error components in simulations in two space dimensions.The main contribution of this chapter is the symmetric reconstruction of the stress tensor.In the second chapter we propose another reconstruction technique for the stress tensor, while considering nonlinear elasticity problems.By imposing the symmetry of the tensor only weakly, we reduce computation time and simplify the implementation.We prove that the estimate obtained using this stress reconstuction is locally and globally efficient for a wide range of hyperelasticity problems.We add a linearization error estimator, enabling us to introduce adaptive stopping criteria for the linearization solver.The third chapter adresses the industrial application of the obtained results.We apply an adaptive algorithm to three-dimensional poro-mechanical problems involving elasto-plastic mechanical behavior laws.
