I bought a car

I bought a car.

It's a Mitsubishi Lancer CJ ES Sport 2014 model, and features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) drive train.

The CVT is quite interesting.

Very simple in theory.
CVT makes for optimal tuning between the smaller pulley piston, reducing flow amount of oil pump, and the direct control torque converter by which an efficient engine output transfer and a smooth ride are realized. Based on accelerator travel information from actual drivers under actual driving conditions, the system controls to obtain the driving force in accordance with the driving situation, at the optimal efficiency point of the engine and the CVT. This enables a supple and smooth driving feel under all driving conditions while also achieving low fuel consumption.
Sounds like nonsense and advertising spin. This picture explains it much better.



The gear ratio is adjusted via continuously increasing or decreasing the radius of the gear to maintain the most efficient power delivery for the driving speed.

See?

It's simples

Dummies guide to robust inversion

(This is part of a series of documents I created during the PhD, with no intention to submit or reproduce them anywhere else. If you find it helpful, that's great. The formatting was butchered in the upload so there's a link to original document here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HJthXFj5Vta8cNSOtWFSJSN84yXQX012) Introduction to Norms A ‘norm’ is an expression of the size, or length, of a vector. These are typically expressed with a single bar ( ) for vectors, or a double-bar ( ) for matrices. They are used in conjunction with misfit to restrict the rate-of-change of model values during successive iterations of a deterministic numerical inversion process. Geophysical inversion presents an under-determined, or ill-posed, linear problem. The under-determined problem is easily surmised as a system where more variables than data are present. A mathematically infinite number of solutions exist to solve this problem
