Multilinear sparse decomposition for best spectral bands selection
2014
Optimal spectral bands selection is a primordial step in multispectral images based systems for face recognition. In this context, we select the best spectral bands using a multilinear sparse decomposition based approach. Multispectral images of 35 subjects presenting 25 different lengths from 480nm to 720nm and three lighting conditions: fluorescent, Halogen and Sun light are groupped in a 3-mode face tensor T of size 35x25x2 . T is then decomposed using 3-mode SVD where three mode matrices for subjects, spectral bands and illuminations are sparsely determined. The 25x25 spectral bands mode matrix defines a sparse vector for each spectral band. Spectral bands having the sparse vectors with…
Euler characteristic formulas for simplicial maps
2001
In this paper, various Euler characteristic formulas for simplicial maps are obtained, which generalize the Izumiya–Marar formula [ 14 ], the Banchoff triple point formula [ 3 ] and the formula due to Szucs for maps of surfaces into 3-space [ 27 ]. Moreover, we obtain new results about the Euler characteristics of the multiple point sets and the images of generic smooth maps and the numbers of their singularities.
Empirical Orthogonal Function and Functional Data Analysis Procedures to Impute Long Gaps in Environmental Data
2016
Air pollution data sets are usually spatio-temporal multivariate data related to time series of different pollutants recorded by a monitoring network. To improve the estimate of functional data when missing values, and mainly long gaps, are present in the original data set, some procedures are here proposed considering jointly Functional Data Analysis and Empirical Orthogonal Function approaches. In order to compare and validate the proposed procedures, a simulation plan is carried out and some performance indicators are computed. The obtained results show that one of the proposed procedures works better than the others, providing a better reconstruction especially in presence of long gaps.
La dote, il ius singulare e il ‘sistema didattico’ di Gaio
2016
This paper discusses the idea that the gap regarding the dowry in Gaius’ Institutes is due to the fact that Gaius intentionally did not deal with this subject because he considered it as 'ius singulare' and that this omission was filled in by a 'liber singularis' outside the Institutes. The existence of a "didactic system" made up of the Gaius’ Institutes and four 'libri singulares' for the classical age of Roman Law is also disputed.
The Heat Content for Nonlocal Diffusion with Non-singular Kernels
2017
Abstract We study the behavior of the heat content for a nonlocal evolution problem.We obtain an asymptotic expansion for the heat content of a set D, defined as ℍ D J ( t ) := ∫ D u ( x , t ) 𝑑 x ${\mathbb{H}_{D}^{J}(t):=\int_{D}u(x,t)\,dx}$ , with u being the solution to u t = J ∗ u - u ${u_{t}=J\ast u-u}$ withinitial condition u 0 = χ D ${u_{0}=\chi_{D}}$ . This expansion is given in terms of geometric values of D. As a consequence, we obtain that ℍ D J ( t ) = | D | - P J ( D ) t + o ( t ) ${\mathbb{H}^{J}_{D}(t)=\lvert D\rvert-P_{J}(D)t+o(t)}$ as t ↓ 0 ${t\downarrow 0}$ .We also recover the usual heat content for the heat equation when we rescale the kernel J in an appro…
Numerical study of the long wavelength limit of the Toda lattice
2014
We present the first detailed numerical study of the Toda equations in $2+1$ dimensions in the limit of long wavelengths, both for the hyperbolic and elliptic case. We first study the formal dispersionless limit of the Toda equations and solve initial value problems for the resulting system up to the point of gradient catastrophe. It is shown that the break-up of the solution in the hyperbolic case is similar to the shock formation in the Hopf equation, a $1+1$ dimensional singularity. In the elliptic case, it is found that the break-up is given by a cusp as for the semiclassical system of the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation in $1+1$ dimensions. The full Toda system is then studie…
Attracteurs de Lorenz de variété instable de dimension arbitraire
1997
Abstract We construct the first examples of flows with robust multidimensional Lorenz-like attractors: the singularity contained in the attractor may have any number of expanding eigenvalues, and the attractor remains transitive in a whole neighbourhood of the initial flow. These attractors support a Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen SRB-measure and, contrary to the usual (low-dimensional) Lorenz models, they have infinite modulus of structural stability.
A Singular Multi-Grid Iteration Method for Bifurcation Problems
1984
We propose an efficient technique for the numerical computation of bifurcating branches of solutions of large sparse systems of nonlinear, parameter-dependent equations. The algorithm consists of a nested iteration procedure employing a multi-grid method for singular problems. The basic iteration scheme is related to the Lyapounov-Schmidt method and is widely used for proving the existence of bifurcating solutions. We present numerical examples which confirm the efficiency of the algorithm.
Nonlocal energy density functionals for pairing and beyond-mean-field calculations
2017
We propose to use two-body regularized finite-range pseudopotential to generate nuclear energy density functional (EDF) in both particle-hole and particle-particle channels, which makes it free from self-interaction and self-pairing, and also free from singularities when used beyond mean field. We derive a sequence of pseudopotentials regularized up to next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO), which fairly well describe infinite-nuclear-matter properties and finite open-shell paired and/or deformed nuclei. Since pure two-body pseudopotentials cannot generate sufficiently large effective mass, the obtained solutions constitute a preliminary step towards future imp…
Blowing up Feynman integrals
2008
In this talk we discuss sector decomposition. This is a method to disentangle overlapping singularities through a sequence of blow-ups. We report on an open-source implementation of this algorithm to compute numerically the Laurent expansion of divergent multi-loop integrals. We also show how this method can be used to prove a theorem which relates the coefficients of the Laurent series of dimensionally regulated multi-loop integrals to periods.
