Estimates for the differences of positive linear operators and their derivatives
2019
The present paper deals with the estimate of the differences of certain positive linear operators and their derivatives. Oxur approach involves operators defined on bounded intervals, as Bernstein operators, Kantorovich operators, genuine Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators, and Durrmeyer operators with Jacobi weights. The estimates in quantitative form are given in terms of the first modulus of continuity. In order to analyze the theoretical results in the last section, we consider some numerical examples.
Multiplicative loops of 2-dimensional topological quasifields
2015
We determine the algebraic structure of the multiplicative loops for locally compact $2$-dimensional topological connected quasifields. In particular, our attention turns to multiplicative loops which have either a normal subloop of positive dimension or which contain a $1$-dimensional compact subgroup. In the last section we determine explicitly the quasifields which coordinatize locally compact translation planes of dimension $4$ admitting an at least $7$-dimensional Lie group as collineation group.
A Group-theoretical Finiteness Theorem
2008
We start with the universal covering space $${\*M^n}$$ of a closed n-manifold and with a tree of fundamental domains which zips it $${T\longrightarrow\*M^n}$$ . Our result is that, between T and $${\* M^n}$$ , is an intermediary object, $${T\stackrel{p} {\longrightarrow} G \stackrel{F}{\longrightarrow} \*M^n}$$ , obtained by zipping, such that each fiber of p is finite and $${T\stackrel{p}{\longrightarrow}G\stackrel{F}{\longrightarrow} \*M^n}$$ admits a section.
Local dimensions of sliced measures and stability of packing dimensions of sections of sets
2004
Abstract Let m and n be integers with 0 R n to certain properties of plane sections of μ. This leads us to prove, among other things, that the lower local dimension of (n−m)-plane sections of μ is typically constant provided that the Hausdorff dimension of μ is greater than m. The analogous result holds for the upper local dimension if μ has finite t-energy for some t>m. We also give a sufficient condition for stability of packing dimensions of section of sets.
Fibre Bundle for Spin and Charge in General Relativity
2000
The Lorentzian and spin structures of general relativity are shown to allow a natural extension, by means of which the set of possible electromagnetic bundles is linked to the topology and geometry of the underlying causal structure. Further, both the Dirac operator and the electromagnetic potential are obtainable from a single linear connection 1-form.
When is the Haar measure a Pietsch measure for nonlinear mappings?
2012
We show that, as in the linear case, the normalized Haar measure on a compact topological group $G$ is a Pietsch measure for nonlinear summing mappings on closed translation invariant subspaces of $C(G)$. This answers a question posed to the authors by J. Diestel. We also show that our result applies to several well-studied classes of nonlinear summing mappings. In the final section some problems are proposed.
Enumeration of L-convex polyominoes by rows and columns
2005
In this paper, we consider the class of L-convex polyominoes, i.e. the convex polyominoes in which any two cells can be connected by a path of cells in the polyomino that switches direction between the vertical and the horizontal at most once.Using the ECO method, we prove that the number fn of L-convex polyominoes with perimeter 2(n + 2) satisfies the rational recurrence relation fn = 4fn-1 - 2fn-2, with f0 = 1, f1 = 2, f2 = 7. Moreover, we give a combinatorial interpretation of this statement. In the last section, we present some open problems.
Vibrations of a continuous web on elastic supports
2017
We consider an infinite, homogenous linearly elastic beam resting on a system of linearly elastic supports, as an idealized model for a paper web in the middle of a cylinder-based dryer section. We obtain closed-form analytical expressions for the eigenfrequencies and the eigenmodes. The frequencies increase as the support rigidity is increased. Each frequency is bounded from above by the solution with absolutely rigid supports, and from below by the solution in the limit of vanishing support rigidity. Thus in a real system, the natural frequencies will be lower than predicted by commonly used models with rigid supports. peerReviewed
Automatic Recognition and Analysis of Scanned Non-crimp Fabrics for Calculation of their Fluid Flow Permeability
2007
Automatic recognition of scanned images of distorted bi-axial fiber bundle arrangements is considered in order to obtain the overall permeability of the formed fiber network. Scanned images are pre-processed with color normalization followed by usage of a threshold to find the pixels belonging to the bundles, the threads keeping the bundles together, and the distinct gaps formed between the bundles. Since the scanned images virtually have a perfect grayscale, the intensity can be treated as a corresponding signal of the image. Next the regular character of the fiber network is investigated using Fourier analysis on the fiber bundles as well as on the threads. The direction, position, and s…
Dimensionless analysis of RC rectangular sections under axial load and biaxial bending
2012
This paper proposes a numerical procedure able to provide ultimate curvature and moment domains of rectangular RC sections subjected to combined axial load and biaxial bending. The formulation is carried out in dimensionless terms in order to give results that are valid for classes of sections characterized by the same values of the geometric and mechanical parameters governing the section response. The role of some of these parameters is investigated here. The results show possible correlations linking the actual values of moment and curvature to the values corresponding to two cases of uniaxial bending to be considered separately. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
