Title: Micromagnetic Simulations for Coercivity Improvement through Nano-Structuring of Rare-Earth Free L1$_0$-FeNi Magnets, Abstract: In this work we investigate the potential of tetragonal L1$_0$ ordered FeNi as candidate phase for rare earth free permanent magnets taking into account anisotropy values from recently ...

Title: Influence of Resampling on Accuracy of Imbalanced Classification, Abstract: In many real-world binary classification tasks (e.g. detection of certain objects from images), an available dataset is imbalanced, i.e., it has much less representatives of a one class (a minor class), than of another. Generally, accura...

Title: On smile properties of volatility derivatives and exotic products: understanding the VIX skew, Abstract: We develop a method to study the implied volatility for exotic options and volatility derivatives with European payoffs such as VIX options. Our approach, based on Malliavin calculus techniques, allows us to ...

Title: Risk-Sensitive Optimal Control of Queues, Abstract: We consider the problem of designing risk-sensitive optimal control policies for scheduling packet transmissions in a stochastic wireless network. A single client is connected to an access point (AP) through a wireless channel. Packet transmission incurs a cost...

Title: SPECULOOS exoplanet search and its prototype on TRAPPIST, Abstract: One of the most significant goals of modern science is establishing whether life exists around other suns. The most direct path towards its achievement is the detection and atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with potentially ...

Title: Small-dimensional representations of algebraic groups of type $A_l$, Abstract: For $G$ an algebraic group of type $A_l$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, we determine all irreducible rational representations of $G$ in defining characteristic with dimensions $\le (l+1)^s$ for $s = 3, 4$, p...

Title: Generalized Biplots for Multidimensional Scaled Projections, Abstract: Dimension reduction and visualization is a staple of data analytics. Methods such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) provide low dimensional (LD) projections of high dimensional (HD) data while preserving...
