Geometric Properties of Planar BV -Extension Domains
2009
We investigate geometric properties of those planar domains that are extension for functions with bounded variation.We start from a characterization of such domains given by Burago–Maz'ya and prove that a bounded, simply connected domain is a BV -extension domain if and only if its com- plement is quasiconvex. We further prove that the extension property is a bi-Lipschitz invariant and give applications to Sobolev extension domains.
Conjugate unstable manifolds and their underlying geometrized Markov partitions
2000
Abstract Conjugate unstable manifolds of saturated hyperbolic sets of Smale diffeomorphisms are characterized in terms of the combinatorics of their geometrized Markov partitions. As a consequence, the relationship between the local and the global point of view is also made explicit.
QUANTITATIVE CONVERGENCE RATES FOR SUBGEOMETRIC MARKOV CHAINS
2015
We provide explicit expressions for the constants involved in the characterisation of ergodicity of subgeometric Markov chains. The constants are determined in terms of those appearing in the assumed drift and one-step minorisation conditions. The results are fundamental for the study of some algorithms where uniform bounds for these constants are needed for a family of Markov kernels. Our results accommodate also some classes of inhomogeneous chains.
INTERVAL-BASED TRACING OF STRANGE ATTRACTORS
2006
The method described here relies on interval arithmetic and graph theory to compute guaranteed coverings of strange attractors like Hénon attractor. It copes with infinite intervals, using either a geometric method or a new directed projective interval arithmetic.
Relations between structure and estimators in networks of dynamical systems
2011
The article main focus is on the identification of a graphical model from time series data associated with different interconnected entities. The time series are modeled as realizations of stochastic processes (representing nodes of a graph) linked together via transfer functions (representing the edges of the graph). Both the cases of non-causal and causal links are considered. By using only the measurements of the node outputs and without assuming any prior knowledge of the network topology, a method is provided to estimate the graph connectivity. In particular, it is proven that the method determines links to be present only between a node and its “kins”, where kins of a node consist of …
Transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds
2005
Abstract The known examples of transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds belong to 3 basic classes: perturbations of skew products over an Anosov map of T 2 , perturbations of the time one map of a transitive Anosov flow, and certain derived from Anosov diffeomorphisms of the torus T 3 . In this work we characterize the two first types by a local hypothesis associated to one closed periodic curve.
Three-page encoding and complexity theory for spatial graphs
2004
We construct a series of finitely presented semigroups. The centers of these semigroups encode uniquely up to rigid ambient isotopy in 3-space all non-oriented spatial graphs. This encoding is obtained by using three-page embeddings of graphs into the product of the line with the cone on three points. By exploiting three-page embeddings we introduce the notion of the three-page complexity for spatial graphs. This complexity satisfies the properties of finiteness and additivity under natural operations.
Three cyclic branched covers suffice to determine hyperbolic knots.
2005
Let n > m > 2 be two fixed coprime integers. We prove that two Conway reducible, hyperbolic knots sharing the 2-fold, m-fold and n-fold cyclic branched covers are equivalent. Using previous results by Zimmermann we prove that this implies that a hyperbolic knot is determined by any three of its cyclic branched covers.
MAPPINGS OF FINITE DISTORTION: $L^n \log^{\alpha} L$ -INTEGRABILITY
2003
Recently, systematic studies of mappings of finite distortion have emerged as a key area in geometric function theory. The connection with deformations of elastic bodies and regularity of energy minimizers in the theory of nonlinear elasticity is perhaps a primary motivation for such studies, but there are many other applications as well, particularly in holomorphic dynamics and also in the study of first order degenerate elliptic systems, for instance the Beltrami systems we consider here.
Rediscovering tradition through representation: the vaulted house of the Amalfi Coast
2022
The Amalfi Coast represents one of the most fascinating examples of Mediterranean landscape with a unique cultural and natural setting, resulting from its dramatic topography and the evolution of its community. The universal value of the coast, the evolutionary process of human adaptation to its production and exchange spaces, as well as its residential settlements, is very important to preserve. In this regard, the research is focused on the interpretation of these places, and in particular on the typical medieval houses to find the main features through the representation of ancient and new designers. The observation through the drawing allows rediscovering the essential elements that dis…
