Explicit Two-Sided Unique-Neighbor Expanders by Hsieh, Jun-Ting, McKenzie, Theo, Mohanty, Sidhanth, Paredes, Pedro

“…We study the problem of constructing explicit sparse graphs that exhibit strong vertex expansion. Our main result is the first two-sided construction of imbalanced unique-neighbor expanders, meaning bipartite graphs where small sets contained in both the left and right bipartitions exhibit unique-neighbor expansion, along with algebraic properties relevant to constructing quantum codes. …”

A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. Our main contributions are three-fold. First, we develop and analyze a moving boundary treatment for sharp immersed methods that can be applied to PDEs with implicitly defined boundary conditions, such as those commonly imposed on the vorticity field. …”

Phase-Field Computational Framework for Addressing Challenges in Solid-State Batteries by Schwietert, Tammo K, Ombrini, Pierfrancesco, Ootes, Laura S, Oostrum, Leon, Azizi, Victor, Cogswell, Daniel, Zhu, Juner, Bazant, Martin Z, Wagemaker, Marnix, Vasileiadis, Alexandros

“…All-solid-state batteries are attracting increasing interest due to their higher promised energy densities without the use of flammable liquid electrolytes. Two main challenges for solid-state batteries are contact loss and interphase formation; these play a central role in the quality of the solid-electrolyte–electrode interfaces. …”
