Joint UAV Placement and Transceiver Design in Multi-User Wireless Relay Networks
In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to improve the minimum signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) among users in non-orthogonal multi-user wireless relay networks, by optimizing the placement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relays, relay beamforming, and receive combining. The design is separated into two problems: beamforming-aware UAV placement optimization and transceiver design for minimum SINR maximization. A significant challenge in beamforming-aware UAV placement optimiz…

Bicriteria Polygon Aggregation with Arbitrary Shapes
We study the problem of aggregating polygons by covering them with disjoint representative regions, thereby inducing a clustering of the polygons. Our objective is to minimize a weighted sum of the total area and the total perimeter of the regions. This problem has applications in cartographic map generalization and urban analytics. Here, the polygons represent building footprints and the clusters may represent urban areas. Previous approaches forced the boundaries of the regions to come from a…

Can plasmoid-mediated reconnection occur in collisionless systems?
Magnetic reconnection is a process that converts magnetic energy into plasma energy by changing the magnetic field line topology. The outstanding question is why the reconnection rate is $\mathcal{O}(0.01 - 0.1)$ in many astrophysical phenomena, for example solar flares and terrestrial substorms. Previous studies have shown two ideas of Hall reconnection and plasmoid instability. However, there is no consensus on which process is the reason for the fast reconnection. In this paper, we discuss t…

Tunable plasmon modes and topological transitions in single- and bilayer semi-Dirac materials
We investigate the plasmonic response of single- and bilayer semi-Dirac materials under the influence of a tunable parameter $δ$ that governs topological transitions via Dirac cone generation/merging and incorporating band inversion terms. For single-layer systems, we demonstrate that the emergence of Dirac cones leads to an enhanced plasmon frequency range and that the plasmonic spectrum exhibits strong anisotropy, especially for finite $δ$ and vanishing inversion terms. In the bilayer confi…

Magnon-plasmon hybridization mediated by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in two-dimensional crystals: tuning with electric field
Recently, a mechanism of magnon-plasmon hybridization in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems, based on spin-orbit interaction associated with mobile (conduction) electrons has been proposed. Here, we consider another mechanism of magnon-plasmon hybridization, which is based on spin-orbit coupling attributed to localized spins and leading to the antisymmetric exchange (Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya) interaction. The basic element of the mechanism of magnon-plasmon coupling relies on the modifica…
