On real-time algorithms for the location search of discontinuous conductivities with one measurement
2008
We discuss, and compare, two simple methods that provide coordinates of a point in the vicinity of one inclusion within some object with homogeneous electrical properties. In the context of nondestructive testing such an inclusion may correspond to a material defect, whereas in medicine this may correspond to a lesion in the brain, to name only two possible applications. Both methods use only one pair of voltage/current measurements on the entire boundary of the object to determine a single pair of coordinates that is considered to be close to the center of the inclusion. The first method has been proposed previously by Kwon, Seo and Yoon; the second method, called here the effective dipole…
Application of time-resolved spectroscopy to concentration measurements in gas mixtures
2001
1296-2147; Concentration measurements using femtosecond Raman Induced Polarization Spectroscopy (RIPS) are performed in binary gas mixtures CO2-N2 and CO2-N2O at room temperature. The principle of these measurements is based on the nonlinear rotational time response of each molecular component of the mixture, The general form of this molecular response is a series of periodic transients with a period related to the rotational constant Be The relative strength of the individual responses allows an accurate determination of the concentration. Two techniques are presented using either two pulses (one pump and one probe) or three pulses (two pumps and one probe). (C) 2001 Academie des sciences/…
A Novel Self-organizing Neural Technique for Wind Speed Mapping
2009
Systems with high nonlinearities are, in general, very difficult to model. This is particularly true in geostatistics, where the problem of the estimation of a regionalized variable (RV) given only a small amount of measurement stations and a complex terrain surface is very challenging. This paper introduces a novel strategy, which couples the Curvilinear Component Analysis (CCA) and the Generalized Mapping Regressor (GMR). CCA, which is a nonlinear projector of a data manifold, is here used in order to find the intrinsic dimension of the data manifold, just giving an insight on the nonlinearities of the problem. This analysis drives the pre-processing of the data set used for the training …
The complexity of finite model reasoning in description logics
2005
AbstractWe analyse the complexity of finite model reasoning in the description logic ALCQI, i.e., ALC augmented with qualifying number restrictions, inverse roles, and general TBoxes. It turns out that all relevant reasoning tasks such as concept satisfiability and ABox consistency are ExpTime-complete, regardless of whether the numbers in number restrictions are coded unarily or binarily. Thus, finite model reasoning with ALCQI is not harder than standard reasoning with ALCQI.
Probing bulk electronic structure with hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission.
2010
Traditional ultraviolet/soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) may in some cases be too strongly influenced by surface effects to be a useful probe of bulk electronic structure. Going to hard X-ray photon energies and thus larger electron inelastic mean-free paths should provide a more accurate picture of bulk electronic structure. We present experimental data for hard X-ray ARPES (HARPES) at energies of 3.2 and 6.0 keV. The systems discussed are W, as a model transition-metal system to illustrate basic principles, and GaAs, as a technologically-relevant material to illustrate the potential broad applicability of this new technique. We have investigated the effects of …
A non-homogeneous elliptic problem dealing with the level set formulation of the inverse mean curvature flow
2015
Abstract In the present paper we study the Dirichlet problem for the equation − div ( D u | D u | ) + | D u | = f in an unbounded domain Ω ⊂ R N , where the datum f is bounded and nonnegative. We point out that the only hypothesis assumed on ∂Ω is that of being Lipschitz-continuous. This problem is the non-homogeneous extension of the level set formulation of the inverse mean curvature flow in a Euclidean space. We introduce a suitable concept of weak solution, for which we prove existence, uniqueness and a comparison principle.
On the Problem of Well-Posedness for the Radon Transform
1981
In this note, we first discuss some continuity and discontinuity properties of the inverse Radon transform (R.t.). Any such property gives a positive (or negative) answer to the question, whether under certain contitions the problem of inverting the R.t. is well-posed.
Convergence-theoretic characterizations of compactness
2002
AbstractFundamental variants of compactness are characterized in terms of concretely reflective convergence subcategories: topologies, pretopologies, paratopologies, hypotopologies and pseudotopologies. Hyperquotient maps (perfect, quasi-perfect, adherent and closed) and quotient maps (quotient, hereditarily quotient, countably biquotient, biquotient, and almost open) are characterized in terms of various degrees of compactness of their fiber relations, and of sundry relaxations of inverse continuity.
Some Nonlinear Methods in Fréchet Operator Rings and Ψ*-Algebras
1995
Two different inverse function theorems, one of Nash-Moser type, the other due to H. Omori, are extended to obtain special surjectivity results in locally convex and locally pseudo-convex Frechet algebras generated by group actions and derivations. In particular, the following factorization problem is discussed. Let Ψ be a locally pseudo-convex Frechet algebra with unit e and T+ : Ψ Ψ a continuous linear operator. Does there exist a neighborhood U of 0 such that the equation where T- = IΨ- T, has a solution x ∈ Ψ for every y ∈ U?
Irreducible components of Hurwitz spaces parameterizing Galois coverings of curves of positive genus
2014
Let Y be a smooth, projective, irreducible complex curve. A G-covering p : C → Y is a Galois covering, where C is a smooth, projective, irreducible curve and an isomorphism G ∼ −→ Aut(C/Y ) is fixed. Two G-coverings are equivalent if there is a G-equivariant isomorphism between them. We are concerned with the Hurwitz spaces H n (Y ) and H G n (Y, y0). The first one parameterizes Gequivalence classes of G-coverings of Y branched in n points. The second one, given a point y0 ∈ Y , parameterizes G-equivalence classes of pairs [p : C → Y, z0], where p : C → Y is a G-covering unramified at y0 and z0 ∈ p (y0). When G = Sd one can equivalently consider coverings f : X → Y of degree d with full mon…
