Cell-average WENO with progressive order of accuracy close to discontinuities with applications to signal processing
2020
In this paper we translate to the cell-average setting the algorithm for the point-value discretization presented in S. Amat, J. Ruiz, C.-W. Shu, D. F. Y\'a\~nez, A new WENO-2r algorithm with progressive order of accuracy close to discontinuities, submitted to SIAM J. Numer. Anal.. This new strategy tries to improve the results of WENO-($2r-1$) algorithm close to the singularities, resulting in an optimal order of accuracy at these zones. The main idea is to modify the optimal weights so that they have a nonlinear expression that depends on the position of the discontinuities. In this paper we study the application of the new algorithm to signal processing using Harten's multiresolution. Se…
Harmonic maps and singularities of period mappings
2015
We use simple methods from harmonic maps to investigate singularities of period mappings at infinity. More precisely, we derive a harmonic map version of Schmid’s nilpotent orbit theorem. MSC Classification 14M27, 58E20
Geometric Singular Perturbation Theory Beyond Normal Hyperbolicity
2001
Geometric Singular Perturbation theory has traditionally dealt only with perturbation problems near normally hyperbolic manifolds of singularities. In this paper we want to show how blow up techniques can permit enlarging the applicability to non-normally hyperbolic points. We will present the method on well chosen examples in the plane and in 3-space.
Collision Orbits in the Isosceles Rectilinear Restricted Problem
1995
In the study of the Collinear Three-Body Problem, McGehee (1974) introduced a new set of coordinates which had the effect of blowing up the triple collision singularity. Subsequently, his method has been used to analyze some other collision or singularities. Recently, Wang (1986) introduced another transformation which differs from the McGehee’s coordinates in the fact that the blowing-up factor is now the potential function, U, instead of the moment of inertia, I. Meyer and Wang (1993) have applied this method to the Restricted Isosceles Three-body Problem with positive energy and Cors and Llibre (1994) to the hyperbolic restricted three-body problem. In this paper we study the singulariti…
Homeomorphic graph manifolds: A contribution to the μ constant problem
1999
Abstract We give a characterization, in terms of homological data in covering spaces, of those maps between (3-dimensional) graph manifolds which are homotopic to homeomorphisms. As an application we give a condition on a cobordism between graph manifolds that guarantees that they are homeomorphic. This in turn is applied to give a partial result on the μ -constant problem in (complex) dimension three.
Locally Supported Wavelets on Manifolds with Applications to the 2D Sphere
1999
Abstract In this paper we present a construction principle for locally supported wavelets on manifolds once a multiresolution analysis is given. The wavelets provide a stable (or unconditional) basis for a scale of Sobolev spaces H s , 0 ≤ s ≤ s . We examine a fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. For the two-dimensional sphere we construct a multiresolution analysis generated by continuous splines that are bilinear with respect to some special spherical grid. In our approach the poles are not exceptional points concerning the approximation power or the stability of the wavelet basis. Finally we present some numerical applications to singularity detection and the analysis o…
Response functions in multicomponent Luttinger liquids
2012
We derive an analytic expression for the zero temperature Fourier transform of the density-density correlation function of a multicomponent Luttinger liquid with different velocities. By employing Schwinger identity and a generalized Feynman identity exact integral expressions are derived, and approximate analytical forms are given for frequencies close to each component singularity. We find power-like singularities and compute the corresponding exponents. Numerical results are shown for the case of three components.
The rank of random regular digraphs of constant degree
2018
Abstract Let d be a (large) integer. Given n ≥ 2 d , let A n be the adjacency matrix of a random directed d -regular graph on n vertices, with the uniform distribution. We show that the rank of A n is at least n − 1 with probability going to one as n grows to infinity. The proof combines the well known method of simple switchings and a recent result of the authors on delocalization of eigenvectors of A n .
The smallest singular value of a shifted $d$-regular random square matrix
2017
We derive a lower bound on the smallest singular value of a random d-regular matrix, that is, the adjacency matrix of a random d-regular directed graph. Specifically, let $$C_1<d< c n/\log ^2 n$$ and let $$\mathcal {M}_{n,d}$$ be the set of all $$n\times n$$ square matrices with 0 / 1 entries, such that each row and each column of every matrix in $$\mathcal {M}_{n,d}$$ has exactly d ones. Let M be a random matrix uniformly distributed on $$\mathcal {M}_{n,d}$$ . Then the smallest singular value $$s_{n} (M)$$ of M is greater than $$n^{-6}$$ with probability at least $$1-C_2\log ^2 d/\sqrt{d}$$ , where c, $$C_1$$ , and $$C_2$$ are absolute positive constants independent of any other parameter…
Three-qutrit entanglement and simple singularities
2016
In this paper, we use singularity theory to study the entanglement nature of pure three-qutrit systems. We first consider the algebraic variety $X$ of separable three-qutrit states within the projective Hilbert space $\mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H}) = \mathbb{P}^{26}$. Given a quantum pure state $|\varphi\rangle\in \mathbb{P}(\mathcal{H})$ we define the $X_\varphi$-hypersuface by cutting $X$ with a hyperplane $H_\varphi$ defined by the linear form $\langle\varphi|$ (the $X_\varphi$-hypersurface of $X$ is $X\cap H_\varphi \subset X$). We prove that when $|\varphi\rangle$ ranges over the SLOCC entanglement classes, the "worst" possible singular $X_\varphi$-hypersuface with isolated singularities, has…
