A strategy for self-adjointness of Dirac operators: Applications to the MIT bag model and $\delta$-shell interactions
Authors: Thomas Ourmières-Bonafos,Luis Vega
We develop an approach to prove self-adjointness of Dirac operators with boundary or transmission conditions at a $\mathcal{C}^2$-compact surface without boundary. To do so we are lead to study the layer potential induced by the Dirac system as well as to define traces in a weak sense for functions…

A Numerical 1.5D Method for the Rapid Simulation of Geophysical Resistivity Measurements
Authors: Mostafa Shahriari,Sergio Rojas,David Pardo,Angel Rodríguez-Rozas,Shaaban A. Bakr,Victor M. Calo,Ignacio Muga
In some geological formations, borehole resistivity measurements can be simulated using a sequence of 1D models. By considering a 1D layered media, we can reduce the dimensionality of the problem from 3D to 1.5D via a Hankel transform. The resulting formulation is often solved via a semi-analytic…

Fast 2.5D finite element simulations of borehole resistivity measurements
Authors: Carlos Torres-Verdín,Ángel Rodríguez-Rozas,David Pardo,David Pardo,David Pardo
We develop a rapid 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) finite element method for simulation of borehole resistivity measurements in transversely isotropic (TI) media. The method combines arbitrary high-order $H^1$ - and $H$ (curl)-conforming spatial discretizations. It solves problems where material properties…

QUANTUM COMPUTING: SIX KEY FACTORS TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE OF COMPUTATION
Authors: VILLAR RODRIGUEZ, ESTHER,OSABA ICEDO, ENEKO,DEL SER LLORENTE, JAVIER
The future of computing has been seen since its inception with the focus on the two objectives: more data and less energy. Continued advances in computer technology have allowed, since the 1960s, a steady and dizzying reduction in the size of transistors, which has translated into a faster process…

Finite element simulations of logging-while-drilling and extra-deep azimuthal resistivity measurements using non-fitting grids
Authors: Théophile Chaumont-Frelet,David Pardo,David Pardo,David Pardo,Ángel Rodríguez-Rozas
International audience; We propose a discretization technique using non-fitting grids to simulate magnetic field based resistivity logging measurements. Non-fitting grids are convenient because they are simpler to generate and handle than fitting grids when the geometry is complex. On the other…
