Evolution semigroups and time operators on Banach spaces
2010
AbstractWe present new general methods to obtain shift representation of evolution semigroups defined on Banach spaces. We introduce the notion of time operator associated with a generalized shift on a Banach space and give some conditions under which time operators can be defined on an arbitrary Banach space. We also tackle the problem of scaling of time operators and obtain a general result about the existence of time operators on Banach spaces satisfying some geometric conditions. The last part of the paper contains some examples of explicit constructions of time operators on function spaces.
Non-periodic Discrete-Spline Wavelets
2015
This chapter describes wavelet analysis in the spaces of discrete splines whose spans are powers of 2. This wavelet analysis is similar to wavelet analysis in the polynomial-spline spaces. The transforms are based on relations between exponential discrete splines from different resolution scales. Generators of discrete-spline wavelet spaces are described. The discrete-spline wavelet transforms generate wavelet transforms in signal space. Practically, wavelet transforms of signals are implemented by multirate filtering of signals by two-channel filter banks with the downsampling factor 2 (critically sampled filter banks). The filtering implementation is accelerated by switching to the polyph…
Adaptive Tracking Control of Nonlinear Time-Varying Systems with Unknown Control Coefficients and Unknown Time-Varying Parameters
2019
This paper investigates the tracking control of a class of strict-feedback uncertain nonlinear systems in the presence of unknown signs of control coefficients and unknown time-varying parameters as well as unknown disturbances. A robust adaptive controller and a new decoupled backstepping approach to stability analysis are developed by constructing a new compensation scheme. By introducing a Nussbaum function and a new type of hyperbolic tangent function, the effects of unknown time-varying parameters and unknown control coefficients are effectively compensated. By using the decoupled backstepping technique, it is proved that under the proposed control, all closed-loop states are uniform u…
Network Slicing Enabled Resource Management for Service-Oriented Ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Vehicular Networks
2020
Network slicing has been considered as a promising candidate to provide customized services for vehicular applications that have extremely high requirements of latency and reliability. However, the high mobility of vehicles poses significant challenges to resource management in such a stochastic vehicular environment with time-varying service demands. In this paper, we develop an online network slicing scheduling strategy for joint resource block (RB) allocation and power control in vehicular networks. The long-term time-averaged total system capacity is maximized while guaranteeing strict ultra-reliable and low-latency requirements of vehicle communication links, subject to stability const…
An adaptive method for Volterra–Fredholm integral equations on the half line
2009
AbstractIn this paper we develop a direct quadrature method for solving Volterra–Fredholm integral equations on an unbounded spatial domain. These problems, when related to some important physical and biological phenomena, are characterized by kernels that present variable peaks along space. The method we propose is adaptive in the sense that the number of spatial nodes of the quadrature formula varies with the position of the peaks. The convergence of the method is studied and its performances are illustrated by means of a few significative examples. The parallel algorithm which implements the method and its performances are described.
Temporal incoherent solitons supported by a defocusing nonlinearity with anomalous dispersion
2012
http://pra.aps.org/; International audience; We study temporal incoherent solitons in noninstantaneous response nonlinear media. Contrarily to the usual temporal soliton, which is known to require a focusing nonlinearity with anomalous dispersion, we show that a highly noninstantaneous nonlinear response leads to incoherent soliton structures which require the inverted situation: In the focusing regime (and anomalous dispersion) the incoherent wave packet experiences an unlimited spreading, whereas in the defocusing regime (still with anomalous dispersion) the incoherent wave packet exhibits a self-trapping. These counterintuitive results are explained in detail by a long-range Vlasov formu…
Gaussian quadrature rule for arbitrary weight function and interval
2005
Abstract A program for calculating abscissas and weights of Gaussian quadrature rules for arbitrary weight functions and intervals is reported. The program is written in Mathematica. The only requirement is that the moments of the weight function can be evaluated analytically in Mathematica. The result is a FORTRAN subroutine ready to be utilized for quadrature.

Cuarta revolución industrial (4.0.) o ciberindustria en el proceso penal: revolución digital, inteligencia artificial y el camino hacia la robotizaci…
2019
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la irrupción de la cuarta revolución industrial (4.0.) y sus consecuencias, especialmente la inteligencia artificial, en la justicia en general, y en la penal en particular. La incorporación de sistemas de expertos, algoritmos y modelos computacionales en el asesoramiento, predicción y toma de decisiones judiciales es ya una realidad. Se avizora una inquietante situación con la posibilidad de la robotización judicial o el juez robot (máquina inteligente) en sustitución del juez persona, que crea una cognición artificial que plantea dudas acerca de la individualización de la pena, de la posible responsabilidad de la máquina, la sensibilidad de víctimas…
X-ray Absorption under Operating Conditions for Solid-Oxide Fuel Cells Electrocatalysts: The Case of LSCF/YSZ
2019
We describe a novel electrochemical cell for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) experiments during electrical polarization suitable for high-temperature materials such as those used in solid oxide fuel cells. A half-cell LSCF/YSZ was then investigated under cathodic and anodic conditions (850 °
Polynomial Spline-Wavelets
2015
This chapter presents wavelets in the spaces of polynomial splines. The wavelets’ design is based on the Zak transform, which provides an integral representation of spline-wavelets. The exponential wavelets which participate in the integral representation are counterparts of the exponential splines that were introduced in Chap. 4. Fast algorithms for the wavelet transforms of splines are presented. Generators of spline-wavelet spaces are described, such as the B-wavelets and their duals and the Battle-Lemarie wavelets whose shifts form orthonormal bases of the spline-wavelet spaces.
