Bregman divergences for physically informed discrepancy measures for learning and computation in thermomechanics by Andrieux, Stéphane

“…With view on the context of convex thermomechanics, we propose tools based on the concept of Bregman divergence, a notion introduced in the 1960s and used in learning and optimization as well. This study is motivated by the need of “discrepancy measures” between physically constrained fields that are used both in traditional algorithms, analysis methods and data driven modelling or applications as well.We give also a characterization of symmetrical Bregman divergences through their generating functions which can only be quadratic forms. …”

Identifying a Point-Symmetrical Morphology in the Core-Collapse Supernova Remnant W44 by Noam Soker

“…I identify a point-symmetrical morphology in the core-collapse supernova remnant (CCSNR) W44 compatible with shaping by three or more pairs of jets in the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM). Motivated by recent identifications of point-symmetrical morphologies in CCSNRs and their match to the JJEM, I revisit the morphological classification of CCSNR W44. …”
