Application of Periodic Frames to Image Restoration
2014
In this chapter, we present examples of image restoration using periodic frames. Images to be restored were degraded by blurring, aggravated by random noise and random loss of significant number of pixels. The images are transformed by periodic frames designed in Sects. 17.2 and 17.4, which are extended to the 2D setting in a standard tensor product way. In the presented experiments, performances of different tight and semi-tight frames are compared between each other in identical conditions.

How to Improve the Reliability of Chord?
2008
In this paper we focus on Chord P2P protocol and we study the process of unexpected departures of nodes from this system. Each of such departures may effect in losing any information and in classical versions of this protocol the probability of losing some information is proportional to the quantity of information put into this system. This effect can be partially solved by gathering in the protocol multiple copies (replicas) of information. The replication mechanism was proposed by many authors. We present a detailed analysis of one variant of blind replication and show that this solution only partially solves the problem. Next we propose two less obvious modifications of the Chord protoco…
Computing the Trace
2001
So far we have been interested in the general expression for the WKB-propagation function. Now we turn our attention to the trace of that propagator, since we want to exhibit the energy eigenvalues of a given potential. From earlier discussions we know that the energy levels of a given Hamiltonian are provided by the poles of the Green’s function:
ChemInform Abstract: Magnetic Exchange Between Metal Ions with Unquenched Orbital Angular Momenta: Basic Concepts and Relevance to Molecular Magnetism
2010
This review article is a first attempt to give a systematic and comprehensive description (in the framework of the unified theoretical approach) of the exchange interactions in polynuclear systems based on orbitally degenerate metal ions in the context of their relevance to the modern molecular magnetism. Interest in these systems is related to the fundamental problems of magnetism and at the same time steered by a number of impressive potential applications of molecular magnets, like high-density memory storage units, nanoscale qubits, spintronics and photoswitchable devices. In the presence of orbital degeneracy, the conventional spin Hamiltonian (Heisenberg–Dirac–van Vleck model) becomes…
A comparison between two feature selection algorithms
2017
This article provides a comparison of two feature selection algorithms, Information Gain Thresholding and Koller and Sahami's algorithm in the context of text document classification on the Reuters Corpus Volume 1 dataset. The algorithms were evaluated by testing the performance of classifiers trained on the features they select from a given dataset. Results show that Koller and Sahami's algorithm consistently outperforms Information Gain Thresholding by capturing interactions between features and avoiding redundancy among features, although it achieves its gains through increased complexity and longer running time.
Errors Generated by Uncertain Data
2014
In this chapter, we study effects caused by incompletely known data. In practice, the data are never known exactly, therefore the results generated by a mathematical model also have a limited accuracy. Then, the whole subject of error analysis should be treated in a different manner, and accuracy of numerical solutions should be considered within a framework of a more complicated scheme, which includes such notions as maximal and minimal distances to the solution set and its radius.
Applications in Mathematical Physics
2009
It turns out that pip-space methods have many applications in physics, although they are seldom mentioned as such. To draw on a literary analogy, like Moliere’s Monsieur Jourdain speaking in prose without knowing so, many authors have been using pip-space language without realizing it. In particular, chains or lattices of Hilbert spaces are quite common in many fields of mathematical physics. Some of these applications will be discussed at length in this chapter. To mention a few examples: quantum mechanics, in particular singular interactions (Section 7.1.3), scattering theory (Section 7.2), quantum field theory (Section 7.3), representations of Lie groups (Section 7.4), etc.
Theoretical Study of the Electronic Spectrum of trans-Stilbene
1997
The electronic spectrum of trans-stilbene in the energy range up to 6 eV has been studied using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The study includes a geometry determination of the ground state. In all, 12 singlet and one triplet excited states were studied. The calculated spectrum makes it possible to assign the valence excited singlet states corresponding to the three bands observed in the low-energy region of the one-photon absorption spectrum. The most intense feature of the calculated spectrum corresponds to the 11Ag → 21Bu transition at 4.07 eV. The weakly allowed 11Bu state was found 0.3 eV below 21Bu. Transition to the 31Ag state, computed at 4.95 eV, i…
