Non-supersymmetric Extremal Black Holes: First-Order Flows and Stabilisation Equations

2013

We review the results of [1, 2] on reducing the second-order equations of motion for stationary extremal black holes in four-dimensional \({\textit{N}}\,=\,2\) supergravity to first-order flow equations and further to non-differential stabilisation equations.

NONSINGULAR BLACK HOLES IN PALATINI EXTENSIONS OF GENERAL RELATIVITY

2015

An introduction to extended theories of gravity formulated in metric-affine (or Palatini) spaces is presented. Focusing on spherically symmetric configurations with electric fields, we will see that in these theories the central singularity present in General Relativity is generically replaced by a wormhole structure. The resulting space-time becomes geodesically complete and, therefore, can be regarded as non-singular. We illustrate these properties considering two different models, namely, a quadratic f(R) theory and a Born-Infeld like gravity theory.

Blind deconvolution using TV regularization and Bregman iteration

2005

In this paper we formulate a new time dependent model for blind deconvolution based on a constrained variational model that uses the sum of the total variation norms of the signal and the kernel as a regularizing functional. We incorporate mass conservation and the nonnegativity of the kernel and the signal as additional constraints. We apply the idea of Bregman iterative regularization, first used for image restoration by Osher and colleagues [S.J. Osher, M. Burger, D. Goldfarb, J.J. Xu, and W. Yin, An iterated regularization method for total variation based on image restoration, UCLA CAM Report, 04-13, (2004)]. to recover finer scales. We also present an analytical study of the model disc…

A time evolution model for total-variation based blind deconvolution

2007

Departamento Matematica Aplicada, Universidad de Valencia, Burjassot 46100, Spain.We propose a time evolution model for total-variation based blind deconvolution consisting of two evolution equations evolv-ing the signal by means of a nonlinear scale space method and the kernel by using a diffusion equation starting from the zerosignal and a delta function respectively. A preliminary numerical test consisting of blind deconvolution of a noiseless blurredimage is presented.

Bergman and Bloch spaces of vector-valued functions

2003

We investigate Bergman and Bloch spaces of analytic vector-valued functions in the unit disc. We show how the Bergman projection from the Bochner-Lebesgue space Lp(, X) onto the Bergman space Bp(X) extends boundedly to the space of vector-valued measures of bounded p-variation Vp(X), using this fact to prove that the dual of Bp(X) is Bp(X*) for any complex Banach space X and 1 < p < ∞. As for p = 1 the dual is the Bloch space ℬ(X*). Furthermore we relate these spaces (via the Bergman kernel) with the classes of p-summing and positive p-summing operators, and we show in the same framework that Bp(X) is always complemented in p(X).

Essential norm estimates for composition operators on BMOA

2013

Abstract We provide two function-theoretic estimates for the essential norm of a composition operator C φ acting on the space BMOA; one in terms of the n-th power φ n of the symbol φ and one which involves the Nevanlinna counting function. We also show that if the symbol φ is univalent, then the essential norm of C φ is comparable to its essential norm on the Bloch space.

A New Universal Cellular Automaton Discovered by Evolutionary Algorithms

2004

In Twenty Problems in the Theory of Cellular Automata, Stephen Wolfram asks “how common computational universality and undecidability [are] in cellular automata.” This papers provides elements of answer, as it describes how another universal cellular automaton than the Game of Life (Life) was sought and found using evolutionary algorithms. This paper includes a demonstration that consists in showing that the presented R automaton can both implement any logic circuit (logic universality) and a simulation of Life (universality in the Turing sense).

Connectivity percolation in suspensions of hard platelets

2012

We present a study on connectivity percolation in suspensions of hard platelets by means of Monte Carlo simulation. We interpret our results using a contact-volume argument based on an effective single--particle cell model. It is commonly assumed that the percolation threshold of anisotropic objects scales as their inverse aspect ratio. While this rule has been shown to hold for rod-like particles, we find that for hard plate-like particles the percolation threshold is non-monotonic in the aspect ratio. It exhibits a shallow minimum at intermediate aspect ratios and then saturates to a constant value. This effect is caused by the isotropic-nematic transition pre-empting the percolation tran…

A double mean field equation related to a curvature prescription problem

2019

We study a double mean field-type PDE related to a prescribed curvature problem on compacts surfaces with boundary. We provide a general blow-up analysis, then a Moser-Trudinger inequality, which gives energy-minimizing solutions for some range of parameters. Finally, we provide existence of min-max solutions for a wider range of parameters, which is dense in the plane if $��$ is not simply connected.
