Orientation of a Surface
2012
We know from Chap. 4 that in order to evaluate the flux of a vector field across a regular surface S, we need to choose a unit normal vector at each point of S in such a way that the resulting vector field is continuous. For instance, if we submerge a permeable sphere into a fluid and we select the field of unit normal outward vectors on the sphere, then the flux of the velocity field of the fluid across the sphere gives the amount of fluid leaving the sphere per unit time. However, if we select the field of unit normal inward vectors on the sphere, then the flux of the velocity field of the fluid across the sphere gives the amount of fluid entering the sphere per unit time (which is the ne…
Commutators and diffeomorphisms of surfaces
2004
For any compact oriented surfacewe consider the group of diffeomorphisms ofwhich preserve a given area form. In this paper we show that the vector space of homogeneous quasi-morphisms on this group has infinite dimension. This result is proved by constructing explicitly and for each surface an infinite family of independent homogeneous quasi-morphisms. These constructions use simple arguments related to linking properties of the orbits of the diffeomorphisms.
Clustering-based robust three-dimensional phase unwrapping algorithm
2010
Relatively recent techniques that produce phase volumes have motivated the study of three-dimensional (3D) unwrapping algorithms that inherently incorporate the third dimension into the process. We propose a novel 3D unwrapping algorithm that can be considered to be a generalization of the minimum spanning tree (MST) approach. The technique combines characteristics of some of the most robust existing methods: it uses a quality map to guide the unwrapping process, a region growing mechanism to progressively unwrap the signal, and also cut surfaces to avoid error propagation. The approach has been evaluated in the context of noncontact measurement of dynamic objects, suggesting a better perfo…
Estimates for Sums of Eigenvalues of the Free Plate via the Fourier Transform
2017
Using the Fourier transform, we obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of the free plate.
Global RDF Vector Space Embeddings
2017
Vector space embeddings have been shown to perform well when using RDF data in data mining and machine learning tasks. Existing approaches, such as RDF2Vec, use local information, i.e., they rely on local sequences generated for nodes in the RDF graph. For word embeddings, global techniques, such as GloVe, have been proposed as an alternative. In this paper, we show how the idea of global embeddings can be transferred to RDF embeddings, and show that the results are competitive with traditional local techniques like RDF2Vec.
On inductive dimensions for fuzzy topological spaces
1995
An approach to the dimension theory for fuzzy topological spaces is being developed. The appropriate context for this theory is not the category CFT of Chang fuzzy topological spaces or some of its modifications, but the category Hut introduced in the paper (this category is a slight extension of the category H of Hutton fuzzy topological spaces Hutton (1980). The frames of this category allow us to make exposition simple and uniform, and on the other hand to make it applicable in quite a general setting.
On Słowikowski, Raíkov and De Wilde Closed Graph Theorems
1986
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the Slowikowski, Raikov and De Wilde closed graph theorems. The vector spaces used in the chapter, are defined over the field Ղ of real or complex numbers. The term, “space” means separated topological vector space, unless the contrary is specifically stated. If Ω is a non-empty open subset of the n -dimensional euclidean space, then the Schwartz space ҟ′(Ω) endowed with the strong topology belongs to this class. The chapter also studies the classes of spaces related with this conjecture. The class of Slowikowski spaces contains the F-spaces and it is stable with respect to the operations that include: countable topological direct sums, closed subsp…
Noetherian type in topological products
2010
The cardinal invariant "Noetherian type" of a topological space $X$ (Nt(X)) was introduced by Peregudov in 1997 to deal with base properties that were studied by the Russian School as early as 1976. We study its behavior in products and box-products of topological spaces. We prove in Section 2: 1) There are spaces $X$ and $Y$ such that $Nt(X \times Y) < \min\{Nt(X), Nt(Y)\}$. 2) In several classes of compact spaces, the Noetherian type is preserved by the operations of forming a square and of passing to a dense subspace. The Noetherian type of the Cantor Cube of weight $\aleph_\omega$ with the countable box topology, $(2^{\aleph_\omega})_\delta$, is shown in Section 3 to be closely related …
Localification of variable-basis topological systems
2011
The paper provides another approach to the notion of variable-basis topological system generalizing the fixed-basis concept of S. Vickers, considers functorial relationships between the categories of modified variable-basis topological systems and variable-basis fuzzy topological spaces in the sense of S.E. Rodabaugh and shows that the procedure of localification is possible in the new setting. Quaestiones Mathematicae 33(2010), 11–33
Partial O*-Algebras
2002
This chapter is devoted to the investigation of partial O*-algebras of closable linear operators defined on a common dense domain in a Hilbert space. Section 2.1 introduces of O- and O*-families, O- and O*-vector spaces, partial O*-algebras and O*-algebras. Partial O*-algebras and strong partial O*-algebras are defined by the weak and the strong multiplication. Section 2.2 describes four canonical extensions (closure, full-closure, adjoint, biadjoint) of O*-families and defines the notions of closedness and full-closedness (self-adjointness, integrability) of O*-families in analogy with that of closed (self-adjoint) operators. Section 2.3 deals with two weak bounded commutants M′w and M′qw …
