A Tseng type stochastic forward-backward algorithm for monotone inclusions

In this paper, we propose a stochastic version of the classical Tseng's forward-backward-forward method with inertial term for solving monotone inclusions given by the sum of a maximal monotone operator and a single-valued monotone operator in real Hilbert spaces. We obtain the almost sure convergence for the general case and the rate $\mathcal{O}(1/n)$ in expectation for the strong monotone case. Furthermore, we derive $\mathcal{O}(1/n)$ rate convergence of the primal-dual gap for saddle point problems.

$s$-Numbers of Embeddings of Weighted Wiener Algebras

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of Kolmogorov, approximation, Bernstein and Weyl numbers of embeddings $ \mathcal{A}^{s,r}_{\rm mix}(\mathbb{T}^d) \to L_2(\mathbb{T}^d)$ and $\mathcal{A}^{s,r}_{\rm mix}(\mathbb{T}^d) \to \mathcal{A}(\mathbb{T}^d)$, where $\mathcal{A}^{s,r}_{\rm mix}(\mathbb{T}^d)$ is a weighted Wiener algebra of mixed smoothness $s$ and $\mathcal{A}(\mathbb{T}^d)$ is the Wiener algebra itself, both defined on the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$. Our main interest consists in the calculation of the associated asymptotic constants.

Decoupling Molybdenum Disulfide from its Substrate by Cesium Intercalation

Intercalation of alkali atoms within the lamellar transition metal dichalcogenides is a possible route toward a new generation of batteries. It is also a way to induce structural phase transitions authorizing the realization of optical and electrical switches in this class of materials. The process of intercalation has been mostly studied in three-dimensional dichalcogenide films. Here, we address the case of a single-layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$), deposited on a gold substrate, and intercalated with cesium (Cs) in ultra-clean conditions (ultrahigh vacuum). We show that intercalation decouples MoS$_2$ from its substrate. We reveal electron transfer from Cs to MoS$_2$, relative changes in the energy of the valence band maxima, and electronic disorder induced by structural disorder in the intercalated Cs layer. Besides, we find an abnormal lattice expansion of MoS$_2$, which we relate to immediate vicinity of Cs. Intercalation is thermally activated, and so is the reverse process of de-intercalation. Our work opens the route to a microscopic understanding of a process of relevance in several possible future technologies, and shows a way to manipulate the properties of two-dimensional dichalcogenides by "under-cover" functionalization.
