The broken circuit complex and the Orlik - Terao algebra of a hyperplane arrangement

Le, Van Dinh 17 February 2016 (has links)
My thesis is mostly concerned with algebraic and combinatorial aspects of the theory of hyperplane arrangements. More specifically, I study the Orlik-Terao algebra of a hyperplane arrangement and the broken circuit complex of a matroid. The Orlik-Terao algebra is a useful tool for studying hyperplane arrangements, especially for characterizing some non-combinatorial properties. The broken circuit complex, on the one hand, is closely related to the Orlik-Terao algebra, and on the other hand, plays a crucial role in the study of many combinatorial problem: the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid are encoded in the f-vector of the broken circuit complex of the matroid. Among main results of the thesis are characterizations of the complete intersection and Gorenstein properties of the broken circuit complex and the Orlik-Terao algebra. I also study the h-vector of the broken circuit complex of a series-parallel network and relate certain entries of that vector to ear decompositions of the network. An application of the Orlik-Terao algebra in studying the relation space of a hyperplane arrangement is also included in the thesis.

Energy-aware scheduling : complexity and algorithms

Renaud-Goud, Paul 05 July 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis we have tackled a few scheduling problems under energy constraint, since the energy issue is becoming crucial, for both economical and environmental reasons. In the first chapter, we exhibit tight bounds on the energy metric of a classical algorithm that minimizes the makespan of independent tasks. In the second chapter, we schedule several independent but concurrent pipelined applications and address problems combining multiple criteria, which are period, latency and energy. We perform an exhaustive complexity study and describe the performance of new heuristics. In the third chapter, we study the replica placement problem in a tree network. We try to minimize the energy consumption in a dynamic frame. After a complexity study, we confirm the quality of our heuristics through a complete set of simulations. In the fourth chapter, we come back to streaming applications, but in the form of series-parallel graphs, and try to map them onto a chip multiprocessor. The design of a polynomial algorithm on a simple problem allows us to derive heuristics on the most general problem, whose NP-completeness has been proven. In the fifth chapter, we study energy bounds of different routing policies in chip multiprocessors, compared to the classical XY routing, and develop new routing heuristics. In the last chapter, we compare the performance of different algorithms of the literature that tackle the problem of mapping DAG applications to minimize the energy consumption.

Vícefázový serio-paralelní LLC rezonanční měnič / Multiphase Series Parallel LLC resonant converter

Drda, Václav January 2010 (has links)
The project deals with the design of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) with a medium and high power output. The power supply uses multiphase control switching. Electric energy is converted through a series parallel LLC resonant circuit to reach the maximum efficiency with a small size and cost efficiency of the designed power supply. The semiconductor switches use ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) on the primary side and ZCS (Zero Current Switching) on the secondary side of the converter. The design of the converter is based on the knowledge of the high power output converters (types of switching, art topologies) and resonant topologies (series resonant circuit – SRC, parallel resonant circuit – PRC and series parallel circuit –SPRC). The design of the converter was done theoreticaly and tested by using simulation program. The simulation and partial tests served to build prototype the Interleaves Converter (ILLC). The function of the converter was tested in laboratory. The laboratory results have been compared with the theoretical and the simulation results.

Energy-aware scheduling : complexity and algorithms / Ordonnancement sous contrainte d'énergie : complexité et algorithmes

Renaud-Goud, Paul 05 July 2012 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés à des problèmes d'ordonnancement sous contrainte d'énergie, puisque la réduction de l'énergie est devenue une nécessité, tant sur le plan économique qu'écologique. Dans le premier chapitre, nous exhibons des bornes strictes sur l'énergie d'un algorithme classique qui minimise le temps d'exécution de tâches indépendantes. Dans le second chapitre, nous ordonnançons plusieurs applications chaînées de type « streaming », et nous étudions des problèmes contraignant l'énergie, la période et la latence. Nous effectuons une étude de complexité exhaustive, et décrivons les performances de nouvelles heuristiques. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous étudions le problème de placement de répliques dans un réseau arborescent. Nous nous plaçons dans un cadre dynamique, et nous bornons à minimiser l'énergie. Après une étude de complexité, nous confirmons la qualité de nos heuristiques grâce à un jeu complet de simulations. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous revenons aux applications « streaming », mais sous forme de graphes série-parallèles, et nous tentons de les placer sur un processeur multi-cœur. La découverte d'un algorithme polynomial sur un problème simple nous permet la conception d'heuristiques sur le problème le plus général dont nous avons établi la NP-complétude. Dans le cinquième chapitre, nous étudions des bornes énergétiques de politiques de routage dans des processeurs multi-cœurs, en comparaison avec le routage classique XY, et développons de nouvheuristiques de routage. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous étudions expérimentalement le placement d'applications sous forme de DAG sur des machines réelles. / In this thesis we have tackled a few scheduling problems under energy constraint, since the energy issue is becoming crucial, for both economical and environmental reasons.
