A local notion of absolute continuity in IR^n
2005
We consider the notion of p, δ-absolute continuity for functions of several variables introduced in [2] and we investigate the validity of some basic properties that are shared by absolutely continuous functions in the sense of Maly. We introduce the class $δ−BV^p_loc(\Omega,IR^m)$ and we give a characterization of the functions belonging to this class.
The Permeable Concrete: A Low Energy Consumption Solution for Deep Draining Trenches
2018
The reduction of pore water pressures is one of the very effective measures to improve the stability conditions of marginally stable water-bearing slopes or to stabilise landslides. For this purpose the trench drains have been used long since. Like filling material of deep trenches the permeable concrete can be effectively employed. It presents relatively high hydraulic conductivity, filtering capacity in order to prevent the internal erosion of the soil in which the trench drain is installed, enough residual hydraulic conductivity after possible clogging, sufficient shear strength after a short curing time to avoid the instabilisation of adjacent previously built panels or piles.

Semmes surfaces and intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in the Heisenberg group
2018
A Semmes surface in the Heisenberg group is a closed set $S$ that is upper Ahlfors-regular with codimension one and satisfies the following condition, referred to as Condition B. Every ball $B(x,r)$ with $x \in S$ and $0 < r < \operatorname{diam} S$ contains two balls with radii comparable to $r$ which are contained in different connected components of the complement of $S$. Analogous sets in Euclidean spaces were introduced by Semmes in the late $80$'s. We prove that Semmes surfaces in the Heisenberg group are lower Ahlfors-regular with codimension one and have big pieces of intrinsic Lipschitz graphs. In particular, our result applies to the boundary of chord-arc domains and of redu…
On Certain Metrizable Locally Convex Spaces
1986
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses on certain metrizable locally convex spaces. The linear spaces used are defined over the field IK of real or complex numbers. The word "space" will mean "Hausdorff locally convex space". This chapter presents a proposition which states if U be a neighborhood of the origin in a space E. If A is a barrel in E which is not a neighborhood of the origin and F is a closed subspace of finite codimension in E’ [σ(E’,E)], then U° ∩ F does not contain A° ∩ F. Suppose that U° ∩ F contain A° ∩ F. Then A° ∩ F is equicontinuous hence W is also equicontinuous. Since W° is contained in A, it follows that A is a neighborhood of the origin, a contradiction.
Regular subclasses in the Sobolev space
2009
Abstract We study some slight modifications of the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) introduced in [D. Bongiorno, Absolutely continuous functions in R n , J. Math. Anal. and Appl. 303 (2005) 119–134]. In particular we prove that the classes α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 , introduced in [C. Di Bari, C. Vetro, A remark on absolutely continuous functions in R n , Rend. Circ. Matem. Palermo 55 (2006) 296–304] are independent by λ and contain properly the class α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) . Moreover we prove that α - A C n ( Ω , R m ) = ( α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) ) ∩ ( α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) ) , where α - A C n , λ ( Ω , R m ) is the symmetric class of α - A C λ n ( Ω , R m ) , 0 λ 1 .
Absolute continuity of mappings with finite geometric distortion
2015
Suppose that ⊂ R n is a domain with n ≥ 2. We show that a continuous, sense-preserving, open and discrete mapping of finite geometric outer distortion with KO(·,f) ∈ L 1/(n 1) loc () is absolutely continuous on almost every line parallel to the coordinate axes. Moreover, if U ⊂ is an open set with N(f,U) 0 depends only on n and on the maximum multiplicity N(f,U).
A Lebesgue-type decomposition for non-positive sesquilinear forms
2018
A Lebesgue-type decomposition of a (non necessarily non-negative) sesquilinear form with respect to a non-negative one is studied. This decomposition consists of a sum of three parts: two are dominated by an absolutely continuous form and a singular non-negative one, respectively, and the latter is majorized by the product of an absolutely continuous and a singular non-negative forms. The Lebesgue decomposition of a complex measure is given as application.
Local regularity for time-dependent tug-of-war games with varying probabilities
2016
We study local regularity properties of value functions of time-dependent tug-of-war games. For games with constant probabilities we get local Lipschitz continuity. For more general games with probabilities depending on space and time we obtain H\"older and Harnack estimates. The games have a connection to the normalized $p(x,t)$-parabolic equation $(n+p(x,t))u_t=\Delta u+(p(x,t)-2) \Delta_{\infty}^N u$.
Faults identification, location and characterization in electrical systems using an analytical model-based approach
2005
The start of the electrical energy market has encouraged distributors to make new investments at distribution level so as to attain higher quality levels. The service continuity is one of the aspects of greater importance in the definition of the quality of the electrical energy. For this reason, the research in the field of fault diagnostic for distribution systems is spreading ever more. This paper presents a novel methodology to identify, locate and characterize the faulty events in the electrical distribution systems. The methodology can be extended to all types of faulty events and is applicable to reconfigurable systems. After having described the guidelines of the methodology, the Au…
Does Regression Discontinuity Design Work? Evidence from Random Election Outcomes
2014
We use data for 198121 candidates and 1351 random election outcomes to estimate the effect of incumbency status on future electoral success. We find no evidence of incumbency advantage using data on randomized elections. In contrast, regression discontinuity design, using optimal bandwidths, produces a positive and significant incumbency effect. Using even narrower bandwidths aligns the results with those obtained using the randomized elections. So does the bias-correction of Calonico et al. (forthcoming). Standard validity tests are not useful in detecting the problems with the optimal bandwidths. The appropriate bandwidth seems narrower in larger elections and is thus context specific.
