Mathematical Morphology Based on Fuzzy Operators
1993
A vision procedure may be considered as the repeated application of image operators until the vision goal is reached. The type of these operators and the spaces on which they are defined and act depends on the specific problem and on what we are searching on the image. Morphological operations, as filtering, edge detection, skeletonizing, and so on, are mainly required at low and medium levels of the vision procedure, where local and global knowledge is used to enhance the image information content, before a final decision about the image is taken.
Solving the discrete multiple criteria problem using linear prospect theory
1994
Abstract Prospect theory developed by Kahneman and Tversky is a popular model of choice in decision problems under uncertainty. Prospect theory has recently been extended to multiple criteria choice problems. In this paper, an interactive method for solving discrete multiple criteria decision problems, based on prospect theory type value functions, has been developed. Piecewise linear marginal value functions are assumed to approximate the S-shaped value functions of prospect theory. Therefore, the proposed procedure is valid only for convex preferences.
Varadhan estimates without probability: lower bound
2007
We translate in semi-group theory our proof of Varadhan estimates for subelliptic Laplacians which was using the theory of large deviations of Wentzel-Freidlin and the Malliavin Calculus of Bismut type.
Inverse problems for elliptic equations with fractional power type nonlinearities
2020
We study inverse problems for semilinear elliptic equations with fractional power type nonlinearities. Our arguments are based on the higher order linearization method, which helps us to solve inverse problems for certain nonlinear equations in cases where the solution for a corresponding linear equation is not known. By using a fractional order adaptation of this method, we show that the results of [LLLS20a, LLLS20b] remain valid for general power type nonlinearities.
The Linearized Calderón Problem in Transversally Anisotropic Geometries
2017
In this article we study the linearized anisotropic Calderon problem. In a compact manifold with boundary, this problem amounts to showing that products of harmonic functions form a complete set. Assuming that the manifold is transversally anisotropic, we show that the boundary measurements determine an FBI type transform at certain points in the transversal manifold. This leads to recovery of transversal singularities in the linearized problem. The method requires a geometric condition on the transversal manifold related to pairs of intersecting geodesics, but it does not involve the geodesic X-ray transform which has limited earlier results on this problem.
Algebraicity of analytic maps to a hyperbolic variety
2018
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$. We say that $X$ is Borel hyperbolic if, for every finite type reduced scheme $S$ over $\mathbb{C}$, every holomorphic map $S^{an}\to X^{an}$ is algebraic. We use a transcendental specialization technique to prove that $X$ is Borel hyperbolic if and only if, for every smooth affine curve $C$ over $\mathbb{C}$, every holomorphic map $C^{an}\to X^{an}$ is algebraic. We use the latter result to prove that Borel hyperbolicity shares many common features with other notions of hyperbolicity such as Kobayashi hyperbolicity.
Partial data inverse problems for the Hodge Laplacian
2017
We prove uniqueness results for a Calderon type inverse problem for the Hodge Laplacian acting on graded forms on certain manifolds in three dimensions. In particular, we show that partial measurements of the relative-to-absolute or absolute-to-relative boundary value maps uniquely determine a zeroth order potential. The method is based on Carleman estimates for the Hodge Laplacian with relative or absolute boundary conditions, and on the construction of complex geometric optics solutions which reduce the Calderon type problem to a tensor tomography problem for 2-tensors. The arguments in this paper allow to establish partial data results for elliptic systems that generalize the scalar resu…
Notes on bilinear multipliers on Orlicz spaces
2019
Let $\Phi_1 , \Phi_2 $ and $ \Phi_3$ be Young functions and let $L^{\Phi_1}(\mathbb{R})$, $L^{\Phi_2}(\mathbb{R})$ and $L^{\Phi_3}(\mathbb{R})$ be the corresponding Orlicz spaces. We say that a function $m(\xi,\eta)$ defined on $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}$ is a bilinear multiplier of type $(\Phi_1,\Phi_2,\Phi_3)$ if \[ B_m(f,g)(x)=\int_\mathbb{R} \int_\mathbb{R} \hat{f}(\xi) \hat{g}(\eta)m(\xi,\eta)e^{2\pi i (\xi+\eta) x}d\xi d\eta \] defines a bounded bilinear operator from $L^{\Phi_1}(\mathbb{R}) \times L^{\Phi_2}(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^{\Phi_3}(\mathbb{R})$. We denote by $BM_{(\Phi_1,\Phi_2,\Phi_3)}(\mathbb{R})$ the space of all bilinear multipliers of type $(\Phi_1,\Phi_2,\Phi_3)$ and inve…
Conical upper density theorems and porosity of measures
2008
Abstract We study how measures with finite lower density are distributed around ( n − m ) -planes in small balls in R n . We also discuss relations between conical upper density theorems and porosity. Our results may be applied to a large collection of Hausdorff and packing type measures.
A symmetrization result for Monge–Ampère type equations
2007
In this paper we prove some comparison results for Monge–Ampere type equations in dimension two. We also consider the case of eigenfunctions and we derive a kind of “reverse” inequalities. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
