- Phase shift in skyrmion crystals
- The magnetic skyrmion crystal is a periodic array of a swirling topological spin texture. Since it is regarded as an interference pattern by multiple helical spin density waves, the texture changes with the relative phase shifts among the constituent waves. Although such a phase degree of freedom is relevant to not only magnetism but also transport properties, …

- Temporal deep unfolding for constrained nonlinear stochastic optimal control
- This paper proposes a computational technique to solve discrete-time optimal control problems for nonlinear systems subject to stochastic disturbances, hard input constraints, and soft constraints. The approach employs the idea of deep unfolding, which is a recently developed model-based deep learning method that is applicable to iterative algorithms. …
