A Monge-Kantorovich mass transport problem for a discrete distance
2011
This paper is concerned with a Monge-Kantorovich mass transport problem in which in the transport cost we replace the Euclidean distance with a discrete distance. We fix the length of a step and the distance that measures the cost of the transport depends of the number of steps that is needed to transport the involved mass from its origin to its destination. For this problem we construct special Kantorovich potentials, and optimal transport plans via a nonlocal version of the PDE formulation given by Evans and Gangbo for the classical case with the Euclidean distance. We also study how these problems, when rescaling the step distance, approximate the classical problem. In particular we obta…
A New Iterative Estimation Procedure for the Localization of Passive Stationary Objects from Received RF Signals in Indoor Environments
2019
This paper deals with the localization of passive stationary objects from the received radio- frequency (RF) signals in 3-dimensional (3D) indoor environments. Each object located in the 3D indoor environment is modelled by a single point scatterer. The propagation space is equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The employed channel model is flexible and allows to have a line-of-sight (LOS) component as well as single- and double- bounce scattering components. Here, we present a new accurate iterative estimation technique for computing the optimal coordinates as well as the number of the main stationary objects (scatterers) in indoor areas. The …
A New Iterative Procedure for the Localization of a Moving Object/Person in Indoor Areas from Received RF Signals
2019
This paper presents a new iterative estimation method to localize a single moving object or person in non-stationary 3-dimensional (3D) indoor environments from received radiofrequency (RF) signals. The moving object/person is modelled by a moving single point scatterer. The indoor space is equipped with a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication system. This work starts by introducing a new geometrical channel model which considers the effects of the line-of-sight (LOS) component, the fixed objects located in a room, and the moving object (point scatterer). Then, we present an iterative estimation technique for computing the time-variant (TV) coordinates of the moving scatterer.…
On Randomness and Structure in Euclidean TSP Instances: A Study With Heuristic Methods
2021
Prediction of the quality of the result provided by a specific solving method is an important factor when choosing how to solve a given problem. The more accurate the prediction, the more appropriate the decision on what to choose when several solving applications are available. In this article, we study the impact of the structure of a Traveling Salesman Problem instance on the quality of the solution when using two representative heuristics: the population-based Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and the local search Lin-Kernighan (LK) algorithm. The quality of the result for a solving method is measured by the computation accuracy, which is expressed using the percent error between its soluti…
On proper branched coverings and a question of Vuorinen
2022
We study global injectivity of proper branched coverings from the open Euclidean n$n$-ball onto an open subset of the Euclidean n$n$-space in the case where the branch set is compact. In particular, we show that such mappings are homeomorphisms when n=3$n=3$ or when the branch set is empty. This gives a positive answer to the corresponding cases of a question of Vuorinen.

X-ray Tomography of One-forms with Partial Data
2021
If the integrals of a one-form over all lines meeting a small open set vanish and the form is closed in this set, then the one-form is exact in the whole Euclidean space. We obtain a unique continuation result for the normal operator of the X-ray transform of one-forms, and this leads to one of our two proofs of the partial data result. Our proofs apply to compactly supported covector-valued distributions.
Inverse problems for elliptic equations with power type nonlinearities
2021
We introduce a method for solving Calder\'on type inverse problems for semilinear equations with power type nonlinearities. The method is based on higher order linearizations, and it allows one to solve inverse problems for certain nonlinear equations in cases where the solution for a corresponding linear equation is not known. Assuming the knowledge of a nonlinear Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, we determine both a potential and a conformal manifold simultaneously in dimension $2$, and a potential on transversally anisotropic manifolds in dimensions $n \geq 3$. In the Euclidean case, we show that one can solve the Calder\'on problem for certain semilinear equations in a surprisingly simple way w…
Gradient regularity for elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group
2009
Abstract We give dimension-free regularity conditions for a class of possibly degenerate sub-elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group exhibiting super-quadratic growth in the horizontal gradient; this solves an issue raised in [J.J. Manfredi, G. Mingione, Regularity results for quasilinear elliptic equations in the Heisenberg group, Math. Ann. 339 (2007) 485–544], where only dimension dependent bounds for the growth exponent are given. We also obtain explicit a priori local regularity estimates, and cover the case of the horizontal p-Laplacean operator, extending some regularity proven in [A. Domokos, J.J. Manfredi, C 1 , α -regularity for p-harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group for …
Evolution by mean curvature flow of Lagrangian spherical surfaces in complex Euclidean plane
2016
We describe the evolution under the mean curvature flow of embedded Lagrangian spherical surfaces in the complex Euclidean plane $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we answer the Question 4.7 addressed in [Ne10b] by A. Neves about finding out a condition on a starting Lagrangian torus in $\mathbb{C}^2$ such that the corresponding mean curvature flow becomes extinct at finite time and converges after rescaling to the Clifford torus.
