One-dimensional families of projections
2008
Let m and n be integers with 0 < m < n. We consider the question of how much the Hausdorff dimension of a measure may decrease under typical orthogonal projections from onto m-planes provided that the dimension of the parameter space is one. We verify the best possible lower bound for the dimension drop and illustrate the sharpness of our results by examples. The question stems naturally from the study of measures which are invariant under the geodesic flow.
Continuous images of arcs: Extensions of Cornette's Theorem
2015
In [J.L. Cornette “Image of a Hausdorff arc” is cyclically extensible and reducible Trans. Am. Math. Soc., 199 (1974), pp. 253–267], Cornette proved that a locally connected Hausdorff continuum X is the continuous image of an arc if and only if each of its cyclic elements is the continuous image of an arc. Cyclic elements form a closed null cover of X by retracts of X. We generalize Cornette's result to closed null covers of X with a dendritic structure. We give examples to show that some of our conditions are necessary and we pose some open questions.
Uniqueness of diffusion on domains with rough boundaries
2016
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\mathbf R^d$ and $h(\varphi)=\sum^d_{k,l=1}(\partial_k\varphi, c_{kl}\partial_l\varphi)$ a quadratic form on $L_2(\Omega)$ with domain $C_c^\infty(\Omega)$ where the $c_{kl}$ are real symmetric $L_\infty(\Omega)$-functions with $C(x)=(c_{kl}(x))>0$ for almost all $x\in \Omega$. Further assume there are $a, \delta>0$ such that $a^{-1}d_\Gamma^{\delta}\,I\le C\le a\,d_\Gamma^{\delta}\,I$ for $d_\Gamma\le 1$ where $d_\Gamma$ is the Euclidean distance to the boundary $\Gamma$ of $\Omega$. We assume that $\Gamma$ is Ahlfors $s$-regular and if $s$, the Hausdorff dimension of $\Gamma$, is larger or equal to $d-1$ we also assume a mild uniformity property for $\Omega$ i…
3D segmentation of abdominal aorta from CT-scan and MR images
2012
International audience; We designed a generic method for segmenting the aneurismal sac of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) both from multi-slice MR and CT-scan examinations. It is a semi-automatic method requiring little human intervention and based on graph cut theory to segment the lumen interface and the aortic wall of AAAs. Our segmentation method works independently on MRI and CT-scan volumes and has been tested on a 44 patient dataset and 10 synthetic images. Segmentation and maximum diameter estimation were compared to manual tracing from 4 experts. An inter-observer study was performed in order to measure the variability range of a human observer. Based on three metrics (the maxim…
Cardinal inequalities involving the Hausdorff pseudocharacter
2023
We establish several bounds on the cardinality of a topological space involving the Hausdorff pseudocharacter $H\psi(X)$. This invariant has the property $\psi_c(X)\leq H\psi(X)\leq\chi(X)$ for a Hausdorff space $X$. We show the cardinality of a Hausdorff space $X$ is bounded by $2^{pwL_c(X)H\psi(X)}$, where $pwL_c(X)\leq L(X)$ and $pwL_c(X)\leq c(X)$. This generalizes results of Bella and Spadaro, as well as Hodel. We show additionally that if $X$ is a Hausdorff linearly Lindel\"of space such that $H\psi(X)=\omega$, then $|X|\le 2^\omega$, under the assumption that either $2^{<\mathfrak{c}}=\mathfrak{c}$ or $\mathfrak{c}<\aleph_\omega$. The following game-theoretic result is shown: i…
Separation conditions on controlled Moran constructions
2017
It is well known that the open set condition and the positivity of the $t$-dimensional Hausdorff measure are equivalent on self-similar sets, where $t$ is the zero of the topological pressure. We prove an analogous result for a class of Moran constructions and we study different kinds of Moran constructions with this respect.
A Note on Locally ??-compact Spaces
1995
: The local version of the concept of ℰτ-compactness (where ℰ is a class of Hausdorff spaces and ℰ is a cardinal) introduced by the first author as a generalization of Her-rlich's concept of ℰ-compactness (and hence, also of Mrowka's E-compactness) is defined and the corresponding theory is initiated. An essential part of the theory is developed under the additional assumption that all spaces from ℰ are absolute extensors for spaces under consideration. The theory contains as a special case the classical theory of local compactness.
The simplex dispersion ordering and its application to the evaluation of human corneal endothelia
2009
A multivariate dispersion ordering based on random simplices is proposed in this paper. Given a R^d-valued random vector, we consider two random simplices determined by the convex hulls of two independent random samples of sizes d+1 of the vector. By means of the stochastic comparison of the Hausdorff distances between such simplices, a multivariate dispersion ordering is introduced. Main properties of the new ordering are studied. Relationships with other dispersion orderings are considered, placing emphasis on the univariate version. Some statistical tests for the new order are proposed. An application of such ordering to the clinical evaluation of human corneal endothelia is provided. Di…
Hausdorff dimension from the minimal spanning tree
1993
A technique to estimate the Hausdorff dimension of strange attractors, based on the minimal spanning tree of the point distribution is extensively tested in this work. This method takes into account in some sense the infimum requirement appearing in the definition of the Hausdorff dimension. It provides accurate estimates even for a low number of data points and it is especially suited to high-dimensional systems.
