A Weitzenböck formula for the damped Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator in adapted differential geometry
2001
Abstract On the Riemannian path space we consider the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator associated to the Dirichlet form E (f,g)=E〈 ∇ f, ∇ g〉 H , where ∇ is the damped gradient and 〈·,·〉 H the scalar product of the Cameron–Martin space H . We prove a corresponding Weitzenbock formula restricted to adapted vector fileds: the Ricci-tensor is shown to be equal to the identity.
Geometry and analysis of Dirichlet forms (II)
2014
Abstract Given a regular, strongly local Dirichlet form E , under assumption that the lower bound of the Ricci curvature of Bakry–Emery, the local doubling and local Poincare inequalities are satisfied, we obtain that: (i) the intrinsic differential and distance structures of E coincide; (ii) the Cheeger energy functional Ch d E is a quadratic norm. This shows that (ii) is necessary for the Riemannian Ricci curvature defined by Ambrosio–Gigli–Savare to be bounded from below. This together with some recent results of Ambrosio–Gigli–Savare yields that the heat flow gives a gradient flow of Boltzman–Shannon entropy under the above assumptions. We also obtain an improvement on Kuwada's duality …
Evolution Problems Associated to Linear Growth Functionals: The Dirichlet Problem
2003
Let Ω be a bounded set inIR N with Lipschitz continuous boundary ∂Ω. We are interested in the problem
On the Ball-Marsden-Slemrod obstruction for bilinear control systems
2019
International audience; In this paper we present an extension to the case of $L^1$-controls of a famous result by Ball--Marsden--Slemrod on the obstruction to the controllability of bilinear control systems in infinite dimensional spaces.
Point counting on Picard curves in large characteristic
2005
We present an algorithm for computing the cardinality of the Jacobian of a random Picard curve over a finite field. If the underlying field is a prime field Fp, the algorithm has complexity O(p).
An elementary proof of Hilbertʼs theorem on ternary quartics
2012
Abstract In 1888, Hilbert proved that every nonnegative quartic form f = f ( x , y , z ) with real coefficients is a sum of three squares of quadratic forms. His proof was ahead of its time and used advanced methods from topology and algebraic geometry. Up to now, no elementary proof is known. Here we present a completely new approach. Although our proof is not easy, it uses only elementary techniques. As a by-product, it gives information on the number of representations f = p 1 2 + p 2 2 + p 3 2 of f up to orthogonal equivalence. We show that this number is 8 for generically chosen f, and that it is 4 when f is chosen generically with a real zero. Although these facts were known, there wa…
New lower bounds for the minimum distance of generalized algebraic geometry codes
2013
Abstract In this paper, we give a new lower bound for generalized algebraic geometry codes with which we are able to construct some new linear codes having better parameters compared with the ones known in the literature. Moreover, we give a relationship between a family of generalized algebraic geometry codes and algebraic geometry codes. Finally, we propose a decoding algorithm for such a family.
An Efficient Algorithm for the Generation of Z-Convex Polyominoes
2014
We present a characterization of Z-convex polyominoes in terms of pairs of suitable integer vectors. This lets us design an algorithm which generates all Z-convex polyominoes of size n in constant amortized time.
On 2-(n^2,2n,2n-1) designs with three intersection numbers
2007
The simple incidence structure $${\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A},2)}$$ , formed by the points and the unordered pairs of distinct parallel lines of a finite affine plane $${\mathcal{A}=(\mathcal{P}, \mathcal{L})}$$ of order n > 4, is a 2 --- (n 2,2n,2n---1) design with intersection numbers 0,4,n. In this paper, we show that the converse is true, when n ? 5 is an odd integer.
Some fixed point theorems for generalized contractive mappings in complete metric spaces
2015
We introduce new concepts of generalized contractive and generalized alpha-Suzuki type contractive mappings. Then, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a fixed point of these classes of mappings on complete metric spaces and b-complete b-metric spaces. Our results extend the theorems of Ciric, Chatterjea, Kannan and Reich.
