A numerical meshless particle method in solving the magnetoencephalography forward problem

2012

In this paper, a numerical meshless particle method is presented in order to solve the magnetoencephalography forward problem for analyzing the complex activation patterns in the human brain. The forward problem is devoted to compute the scalp potential and magnetic field distribution generated by a set of current sources representing the neural activity, and in this paper, it has been approached by means of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method suitably handled. The Poisson equation generated by the quasi-stationary Maxwell's curl equations, by assuming Neumann boundary conditions has been considered, and the current sources have been simulated by current dipoles. The adopted meshless…

Renormalized solutions for degenerate elliptic–parabolic problems with nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions and L1-data

2008

Abstract We consider a degenerate elliptic–parabolic problem with nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions. Assuming L 1 -data, we prove existence and uniqueness in the framework of renormalized solutions. Particular instances of this problem appear in various phenomena with changes of phase like multiphase Stefan problems and in the weak formulation of the mathematical model of the so-called Hele–Shaw problem. Also, the problem with non-homogeneous Neumann boundary condition is included.

Tomita—Takesaki Theory in Partial O*-Algebras

2002

This chapter is devoted to the development of the Tomita-Takesaki theory in partial O*-algebras. In Section 5.1, we introduce and investigate the notion of cyclic generalized vectors for a partial O*-algebra, generalizing that of cyclic vectors, and its commutants. Section 5.2 introduces the notion of a cyclic and separating system (M, λ, λ c ), which consists of a partial O*-algebra M, a cyclic generalized vector λ for M and the commutant λ c of λ. A cyclic and separating system (M, λ, λ c ) determines the cyclic and separating system ((M w ′ )′, λ cc , (λ cc ) c ) of the von Neumann algebra (M w ′ )′, and this makes it possible to develop the Tornita-Takesaki theory. Then λ can be extende…

2009

In this note we give some techniques for constructing a faithful semi finite trace on a semifinite von Neumann algebra.

If (At)t>1 is a family of finite von Neumann algebras with a Chapman-Kolmogorov set of linear maps (symbol system) (Φs,t), and if αt:A→A are isomorphisms in a finite family of von Neumann algebras, the corresponding Hochschild cocycles are related to an obstruction to the deformation of the set of linear maps (Φs,t) in the corresponding Chapman-Kolmogorov system (Φs,t)˜ of completely positive maps. In this set-up, the author introduces an invariant (c,Z) for a finite von Neumann algebra M, consisting of a 2-Hochschild cohomology cocycle c and a coboundary unbounded operator Z for c. With some assumptions on c and Z=α+X+iY (α>0, Y is antisymmetric), the existence of an unbounded derivation δ…

In this paper, the author proves an asymptotic version of the double commutant theorem, in a particular set-up of commutative C∗ -algebras. More precisely, he considers the relative approximate double commutant of a C ∗-algebra with unit, and, using a theorem of characterization for a commutative C∗-subalgebra with unit (inspired by a well-known result due to Kadison for a von Neumann sub-algebra of type I), and from a theorem based on a Machado result, he proves that if A is a commutative C∗-subalgebra of a C∗-algebra B centrally prime with unit, then A is equal to its relative approximate double commutant. In the case where B is a von Neumann algebra, a distance formula is found.

On "Explicandum" versus "Explicatum"

2011

The aim of this paper is twofold. First of all I want to present some old ideas revisited in the light of some of the many interesting new developments occurred in the course of these last ten years in the field of the foundations of fuzziness. Secondly I desire to present a tentative general framework in which it is possible to compare different attitudes and different approaches to the clarification of the conceptual problems arising from fuzziness and soft computing. In the paper, then, I shall use some names as banners to indicate a (crucial) problem (i.e., Carnap’s problem, von Neumann’s problem, Galileian science, Aristotelian science and so on). As it will be clear by reading the pap…

A Neo2 bayesian foundation of the maxmin value for two-person zero-sum games

1994

A joint derivation of utility and value for two-person zero-sum games is obtained using a decision theoretic approach. Acts map states to consequences. The latter are lotteries over prizes, and the set of states is a product of two finite sets (m rows andn columns). Preferences over acts are complete, transitive, continuous, monotonie and certainty-independent (Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989)), and satisfy a new axiom which we introduce. These axioms are shown to characterize preferences such that (i) the induced preferences on consequences are represented by a von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function, and (ii) each act is ranked according to the maxmin value of the correspondingm × n utility …
