On an adjoint-based numerical approach for time-dependent optimal control problems of biomedical interest

This work develops a rigorous numerical framework for solving time-dependent Optimal Control Problems (OCPs) governed by partial differential equations, with a particular focus on biomedical applications. The approach deals with adjoint-based Lagrangian methodology, which enables efficient gradient computation and systematic derivation of optimality conditions for both distributed and concentrated control formulations. The proposed framework is first verified using a time-dependent advection-diffusion problem endowed with a manufactured solution to assess accuracy and convergence properties. Subsequently, two representative applications involving drug delivery are investigated: (i) a light-triggered drug delivery system for targeted cancer therapy and (ii) a catheter-based drug delivery system in a patient-specific coronary artery. Numerical experiments not only demonstrate the accuracy of the approach, but also its flexibility and robustness in handling complex geometries, heterogeneous parameters, and realistic boundary conditions, highlighting its potential for the optimal design and control of complex biomedical systems.

On the choice of proper outlet boundary conditions for numerical simulation of cardiovascular flows

It is well known that in the computational fluid dynamics simulations related to the cardiovascular system the enforcement of outflow boundary conditions is a crucial point. In fact, they highly affect the computed flow and a wrong setup could lead to unphysical results. In this chapter we discuss the main features of two different ways for the estimation of proper outlet boundary conditions in the context of hemodynamics simulations: on one side, a lumped parameter model of the downstream circulation and, on the other one, a technique based on optimal control.

On the nature of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs transformations

This paper investigates first the four branches of BMS transformations, motivated by the classification into elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and loxodromic proposed a few years ago in the literature. We first prove that to each normal elliptic transformation of the complex variable zeta used in the metric for cuts of null infinity there corresponds a BMS supertranslation. We then study the conformal factor in the BMS transformation of the u variable as a function of the squared modulus of zeta. In the loxodromic and hyperbolic cases, the conformal factor is either monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing as a function of the real variable given by the modulus of zeta. The Killing vector field of the Bondi metric is also studied in correspondence with the four admissible families of BMS transformations. Eventually, all BMS transformations are re-expressed in the homogeneous coordinates suggested by projective geometry. It is then found that BMS transformations are the restriction to a pair of unit circles of a more general set of transformations. Within this broader framework, the geometry of such transformations is studied by means of its Segre manifold.

Generating rotating black hole solutions by using the Cayley-Dickson construction

This paper exploits the power of the Cayley-Dickson algebra to generate stationary rotating black hole solutions in one fell swoop. Specifically, we derive the nine-dimensional Myers-Perry solution with four independent angular momenta by using the Janis-Newman algorithm and Giampieri's simplification method, exploiting the octonion algebra. A general formula relating the dimension of the Cayley-Dickson algebra with the maximum number of angular momenta in each dimension is derived. Finally, we discuss the cut-off dimension for using the Cayley-Dickson construction along with the Janis-Newman algorithm for producing the rotating solutions.

A Note on the Near Horizon Charges for the Five Dimensional Myers-Perry Black Holes

Inspired by the recent work on the spacetime structure near generic black hole horizons [1], the near horizon charges for an explicit example in higher dimensions than four (d > 4), namely for the five dimensional Myers-Perry metric with two equal rotation parameter are found in Hamiltonian formalism. Finding the supertranslation and the one-form superrotation, it is proved that the Myers-Perry black hole with two equal rotation parameter a = b does not satisfy the gauge flatness condition due to the non-vanishing associated field strength in five dimensional spacetime. It is shown that as the near horizon limit of such a metric satisfies a specific set of boundary conditions, the near horizon algebra can be represented as an infinitely many copies of Heisenberg algebras as a generalisation to the Kerr case in four dimensions.

Subleading non linear gravitational memory effect

We apply the new method based on null geodesics for detecting gravitational memory and find the bulk memory in Newman-Unti gauge around the boundary of the conformally compactified space time. We show how we use the newly found conserved charges in the subleading orders of large-$r$ expansion of the BMS charges to define the gravitational memory at each order in the non-linearised gravitational theory. We also find the gravitational shift in the $r$ direction. It is shown that the longitudinal displacement at order $1/r$ is the relative radius change between two detectors derived by Strominger and Zhiboedov.

Maximum rate of entropy emission

It is shown that adding hair like electric charge or angular momentum to the black hole decreases the amount of entropy emission. This motivates us to study the emission rate of entropy from black holes and conjecture a maximum limit (upper bound) on the rate of local entropy emission ($\dot{S}$) for thermal systems in four dimensional space time and argue that this upper bound is $\dot{S}\simeq k_{B} \sqrt{\frac{c^5}{\hbar G}}$. Also by considering Rènyi entropy, it is shown that Bekenstein-Hawking entropy leads to a maximum limit for the rate of entropy emission. We also suggest an upper bound on the surface gravity of the black holes which is called Planck surface gravity. Finally we obtain a relation between maximum rate of entropy emission, Planck surface gravity and Planck temperature of black holes.

Holographic entanglement first law for d + 1 dimensional rotating cylindrical black holes

We calculate the holographic entanglement entropy for the rotating cylindrical black holes in $d+1$ dimensions as perturbations over $AdS_{d+1}$. This is accomplished based on the first order variation of the area functional in arbitrary dimensions. For these types of black holes, the angular momentum appears at the first order of the perturbative expansion of the holographic entanglement entropy for spacetime dimensions of d +1 $\geq$ 4. We obtain a form of holographic entanglement first law in the presence of both energy and angular momentum.

Black hole quantum atmosphere for freely falling observers

We analyze Hawking radiation as perceived by a freely-falling observer and try to draw an inference about the region of origin of the Hawking quanta. To do so, first we calculate the energy density from the stress energy tensor, as perceived by a freely-falling observer. Then we compare this with the energy density computed from an effective temperature functional which depends on the state of the observer. The two ways of computing these quantities show a mismatch at the light ring outside the black hole horizon. To better understand this ambiguity, we show that even taking into account the (minor) breakdown of the adiabatic evolution of the temperature functional which has a peak in the same region of the mismatch, is not enough to remove it. We argue that the appearance of this discrepancy can be traced back to the process of particle creation by showing how the Wentzel--Kramers--Brillouin approximation for the field modes breaks down between the light ring at $3M$ and $4M$, with a peak at $r=3.3M$ exactly where the energy density mismatch is maximized. We hence conclude that these facts strongly support a scenario where the Hawking flux does originate from a "quantum atmosphere" located well outside the black hole horizon.

Electromagnetic self-force in the five dimensional Myers-Perry space time

We calculate the effects of the electromagnetic self-force on a charged particle outside a five dimensional Myers-Perry space-time. Based on our earlier work [1], we obtain the self-force using quaternions in Janis-Newman and Giampieri algorithms. In four dimensional rotating space-time the electromagnetic self-force is repulsive at any point, however, in five dimensional rotational space-time, we find a point r0 where the electromagnetic self-force vanishes. For r < r0 (r > r0) the electromagnetic self-force is attractive (repulsive).

A Note on the Subleading Soft Graviton

We show that the soft part of the charge generating infinitesimal superrotations can be expressed, in harmonic gauge, in terms of metric components evaluated at the boundaries of null infinity that are subleading in a large radius expansion. We then recast the spin memory observable in terms of these boundary values.

Gravitational collapse of thin shell of dust in shape dynamics

We studied the gravitational collapse of a shell of dust in shape dynamics. We found out static and oscillatory solutions. In the large momentum limit we found out that the shell never reaches the singularity when the momentum of the shell is much larger than the mass of the shell in magnitude. The shell does not reach to the origin in a finite amount of time however when the momentum of the shell becomes comparable to minus the mass of shell, the large momentum approximation breaks down. Therefore more detailed future works hopefully may be able to answer the question of singularity formation in this setup.

Generating five-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole solution using quaternions

The Newman-Janis and Giampieri algorithms are two simple methods to generate stationary rotating black hole solutions in four dimensions. In this paper, we obtain the Mayers-Perry black hole from the Schwartzchild solution in five dimensions using quaternions. Our method generates the Mayers-Perry black hole solution with two angular momenta in one fell swoop.

Black holes with toroidal horizons in (d +1)-dimensional space-time

We investigate black holes with toroidal horizons in (d +1)-dimensional space-time. Using the solution phase space method, we calculated conserved charges for these black holes before exploring some features of this metric including its entropy and thermodynamic quantities. Another aspect of the study involves obtaining a general exact static interior solution for uncharged black holes with toroidal horizons in (d+1)-dimensional space-time. Finally, an interior solution for charged black holes is obtained.
