On deformation of Poisson manifolds of hydrodynamic type
2001
We study a class of deformations of infinite-dimensional Poisson manifolds of hydrodynamic type which are of interest in the theory of Frobenius manifolds. We prove two results. First, we show that the second cohomology group of these manifolds, in the Poisson-Lichnerowicz cohomology, is ``essentially'' trivial. Then, we prove a conjecture of B. Dubrovin about the triviality of homogeneous formal deformations of the above manifolds.
Periodic solutions of a class of non-autonomous second order differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side
2012
Abstract The main goal of this paper is to discuss the existence of periodic solutions of the second order equation: y ″ + η sgn ( y ) = α sin ( β t ) with ( η , α , β ) ∈ R 3 η > 0 . We analyze the dynamics of such an equation around the origin which is a typical singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems. The main results consist in exhibiting conditions on the existence of typical periodic solutions that appear generically in such systems. We emphasize that the mechanism employed here is applicable to many more systems. In fact this work fits into a general program for understanding the dynamics of non-autonomous differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides.
TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM DOUBLE
1994
Following a preceding paper showing how the introduction of a t.v.s. topology on quantum groups led to a remarkable unification and rigidification of the different definitions, we adapt here, in the same way, the definition of quantum double. This topological double is dualizable and reflexive (even for infinite dimensional algebras). In a simple case we show, considering the double as the "zero class" of an extension theory, the uniqueness of the double structure as a quasi-Hopf algebra. A la suite d'un précédent article montrant comment l'introduction d'une topologie d'e.v.t. sur les groupes quantiques permet une unification et une rigidification remarquables des différentes définitions,…
The hidden group structure of quantum groups: strong duality, rigidity and preferred deformations
1994
A notion of well-behaved Hopf algebra is introduced; reflexivity (for strong duality) between Hopf algebras of Drinfeld-type and their duals, algebras of coefficients of compact semi-simple groups, is proved. A hidden classical group structure is clearly indicated for all generic models of quantum groups. Moyal-product-like deformations are naturally found for all FRT-models on coefficients andC∞-functions. Strong rigidity (H bi 2 ={0}) under deformations in the category of bialgebras is proved and consequences are deduced.
A Coherent derivation of an average ion model including the evolution of correlations between different shells
2013
We propose in this short note a method enabling to write in a systematic way a set of refined equations for average ion models in which correlations between populations are taken into account, starting from a microscopic model for the evolution of the electronic configura- tion probabilities. Numerical simulations illustrating the improvements with respect to standard average ion models are presented at the end of the paper.
Heteroclinic contours and self-replicated solitary waves in a reaction–diffusion lattice with complex threshold excitation
2008
Abstract The space–time dynamics of the network system modeling collective behavior of electrically coupled nonlinear cells is investigated. The dynamics of a local cell is described by the FitzHugh–Nagumo system with complex threshold excitation. Heteroclinic orbits defining traveling wave front solutions are investigated in a moving frame system. A heteroclinic contour formed by separatrix manifolds of two saddle-foci is found in the phase space. The existence of such structure indicates the appearance of complex wave patterns in the network. Such solutions have been confirmed and analyzed numerically. Complex homoclinic orbits found in the neighborhood of the heteroclinic contour define …
Recursive partitioning: an approach based on the weighted kemeny distance
2015
In the framework of preference rankings, the interest can lie in finding which predictors and which interactions are able to explain the observed preference structures. The possibility to derive consensus measures using a classification tree represents a novelty and an important tool, given its easy interpretability. This work proposes the use of a univariate decision tree for ranking data based on the weighted Kemeny distance. The performance of the methodology will be shown by using a real dataset about university rankings.
Adaptive trial design: a general methodology for censored time to event data.
2008
Adaptive designs allow a clinical trial design to be changed according to interim findings without inflating type I error. The Inverse Normal method can be considered as an adaptive generalization of classical group sequential designs. The use of the Inverse Normal method for censored survival data was demonstrated only for the logrank statistic. However, the logrank statistic is inefficient in the presence of nuisance covariates affecting survival. We demonstrate, how the Inverse Normal method can be applied to Cox regression analysis. The required independence between test statistics of the different stages of the trial can be obtained by two different approaches. One is using the indepen…
VIII: Statistik in klinischen Publikationen: Checklisten für Autoren
2003
The "Material and Methods" section of clinical research papers should reference major aspects concerning statistical planning and evaluation of the study design and the resulting clinical data. Particular focus is laid on the listing of methods for description and significance evaluation of the trial data, as well as on design-associated study determinants (randomisation and masking strategy, response rate evaluation, primary endpoints, power and sample size determination, multiple testing, software and methods for statistical analysis). Suggestions for the minimum content to be mentioned in a trial publication are listed in author check lists and are illustrated by means of the study synop…
V: p-Werte: Was sie besagen und was nicht …
2002
Both an extensive data description and an explicit assessment of a study result's statistical significance should be presented in the result section of a clinical trial report. Whereas the description illustrates the order and clinical relevance of the study findings, the statistical significance describes its generalizability to patients not included in the clinical trial: Despite the random recruitment of patients into a trial, the study results may fail to represent clinical reality (for example the trial might show falsely positive efficacy findings, whereas in "clinical reality" efficacy appears rather limited). A p value measures the statistical significance of a study result -- the s…
