Step-by-step integration for fractional operators
2018
Abstract In this paper, an approach based on the definition of the Riemann–Liouville fractional operators is proposed in order to provide a different discretisation technique as alternative to the Grunwald–Letnikov operators. The proposed Riemann–Liouville discretisation consists of performing step-by-step integration based upon the discretisation of the function f(t). It has been shown that, as f(t) is discretised as stepwise or piecewise function, the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and derivative are governing by operators very similar to the Grunwald–Letnikov operators. In order to show the accuracy and capabilities of the proposed Riemann–Liouville discretisation technique and th…
Implicit analytic solutions for a nonlinear fractional partial differential beam equation
2020
Abstract Analytic solutions in implicit form are derived for a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) with fractional derivative elements, which can model the dynamics of a deterministically excited Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a viscoelastic foundation. Specifically, the initial-boundary value problem for the corresponding PDE is reduced to an initial value problem for a nonlinear ordinary differential equation in a Hilbert space. Next, by employing the cosine and sine families of operators, a variation of parameters representation of the solution map is introduced. Due to the presence of a nonlinear term, a local fixed point theorem is employed to prove the local existence and u…
Quasi-isometries associated to A-contractions
2014
Abstract Given two operators A and T ( A ≥ 0 , ‖ A ‖ = 1 ) on a Hilbert space H satisfying T ⁎ A T ≤ A , we study the maximum subspace of H which reduces M = A 1 / 2 T to a quasi-isometry, that is on which the equality M ⁎ M = M ⁎ 2 M 2 holds. In some cases, this subspace coincides with the maximum subspace which reduces M to a normal partial isometry, for example when A = T T ⁎ , and in particular if T ⁎ is a cohyponormal contraction. In this case the corresponding subspace can be completely described in terms of asymptotic limit of the contraction T. When M is quasinormal and M ⁎ M = A then the former above quoted subspace reduces to the kernel of A − A 2 . The case of an arbitrary contra…
Partial differential equations governed by accretive operators
2012
The theory of nonlinear semigroups in Banach spaces generated by accretive operators has been very useful in the study of many nonlinear partial differential equations Such a theory is fundamentally based in the Crandall-Liggett Theorem and in the contributions of Ph. Benilan. In this paper, after outlining some of the main points of this theory, we present some of the applications to some nonlinear partial differential equations that appear in different fields of Science.
Weak A-frames and weak A-semi-frames
2021
After reviewing the interplay between frames and lower semi-frames, we introduce the notion of lower semi-frame controlled by a densely defined operator $A$ or, for short, a weak lower $A$-semi-frame and we study its properties. In particular, we compare it with that of lower atomic systems, introduced in (GB). We discuss duality properties and we suggest several possible definitions for weak $A$-upper semi-frames. Concrete examples are presented.
An elliptic equation on n-dimensional manifolds
2020
We consider an elliptic equation driven by a p-Laplacian-like operator, on an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The growth condition on the right-hand side of the equation depends on the geometry of the manifold. We produce a nontrivial solution by using a Palais–Smale compactness condition and a mountain pass geometry.
Entanglement dynamics and relaxation in a few-qubit system interacting with random collisions
2008
The dynamics of a single qubit interacting by a sequence of pairwise collisions with an environment consisting of just two more qubits is analyzed. Each collision is modeled in terms of a random unitary operator with a uniform probability distribution described by the uniform Haar measure. We show that the purity of the system qubit as well as the bipartite and the tripartite entanglement reach time averaged equilibrium values characterized by large instantaneous fluctuations.These equilibrium values are independent of the order of collision among the qubits. The relaxation to equilibrium is analyzed also in terms of an ensemble average of random collision histories. Such average allows for…
A pre-processing technique based on the wavelet transform for linear autoassociators with applications to face recognition
1997
In order to improve the performance of a linear autoassociator (which is a neural network model), we explore the use of several preprocessing techniques. The gist of our approach is to store, in addition to the original pattern, one or several pre-processed (i.e. filtered) versions of the patterns to be stored in a neural network. First, we compare the performance of several pre-processing techniques (a plain vanilla version of the autoassociator as a control, a Sobel operator, a Canny-Deriche operator, and a multiscale Canny-Deriche operator) on an example of a pattern completion task using a noise degraded version of a face stored in an autoassociator. We found that the multiscale Canny-D…
Reflection and Refraction of Singularities for Wave Equations with Interface Conditions given by Fourier Integral Operators
1992
Cauchy problems for hyperbolic operators often have the property, that the singularities of the initial data propagate along the bicharacteristic strips of the operator (cf. e.g. [13]). We consider, in the linear case, the situation where the bicharacteristics hit transversally a spacelike interface, which is ‘active’ in the sense that the interface condition is given via certain Fourier integral operators. Taking the identity, we obtain classical transmission conditions. A suitable functional analytic setting is furnished by the interaction concept [3], [6], [7], which covers very general mutual influences of evolution phenomena on different domains.
Spaces of Operator-valued Functions Measurable with Respect to the Strong Operator Topology
2009
Let X and Y be Banach spaces and (Ω, Σ, μ) a finite measure space. In this note we introduce the space L p /μ; ℒ(X, Y)] consisting of all (equivalence classes of) functions Φ:Ω↦ℒ(X, Y) such that ω↦Φ(ω)x is strongly μ-measurable for all x∈X and ω↦Φ(ω)f(ω) belongs to L 1(μ; Y) for all f∈L p′ (μ; X), 1/p+1/p′=1. We show that functions in L p /μ; ℒ(X, Y)] define operator-valued measures with bounded p-variation and use these spaces to obtain an isometric characterization of the space of all ℒ(X, Y)-valued multipliers acting boundedly from L p (μ; X) into L q (μ; Y), 1≤q<p<∞.
