Dimension reduction for functionals on solenoidal vector fields

Stefan Krömer (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in on a thin domain, under standard -growth and coercivity assumptions, 1    ∞. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the Gamma-limit with respect to weak convergence in is always given by the associated functional with convexified energy density wherever it is finite. Remarkably, this happens despite the fact that relaxation of nonconvex functionals subject...

Variational approximation of a functional of Mumford–Shah type in codimension higher than one

Francesco Ghiraldin (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a new kind of Mumford–Shah functional () for maps : ℝ → ℝ with  ≥ . The most important novelty is that the energy features a singular set of codimension greater than one, defined through the theory of distributional jacobians. After recalling the basic definitions and some well established results, we prove an approximation property for the energy ()  −convergence, in the same spirit of the work by Ambrosio and Tortorelli [L....

Pointwise constrained radially increasing minimizers in the quasi-scalar calculus of variations

Luís Balsa Bicho, António Ornelas (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We prove of vector minimizers () =  (||) to multiple integrals ∫ ((), |()|)  on a  ⊂ ℝ, among the Sobolev functions (·) in + (, ℝ), using a  : ℝ×ℝ → [0,∞] with (·) and . Besides such basic hypotheses, (·,·) is assumed to satisfy also...

Hydrodynamic limit of a d-dimensional exclusion process with conductances

Fábio Júlio Valentim (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

Fix a polynomial of the form () = + ∑2≤≤    =1 with (1) gt; 0. We prove that the evolution, on the diffusive scale, of the empirical density of exclusion processes on 𝕋 d , with conductances given by special class of functions, is described by the unique weak solution of the non-linear parabolic partial differential equation = ∑    ...

Spectral analysis in a thin domain with periodically oscillating characteristics

Rita Ferreira, Luísa M. Mascarenhas, Andrey Piatnitski (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The paper deals with a Dirichlet spectral problem for an elliptic operator with -periodic coefficients in a 3D bounded domain of small thickness . We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum as and tend to zero. This asymptotic behavior depends crucially on whether and are of the same order ( ≈ ), or is much less than ( =   < 1), or is much greater than ( =   > 1). We consider all three cases. ...

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every  or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...

Model selection and estimation of a component in additive regression

Xavier Gendre (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let  ∈ ℝ be a random vector with mean and covariance matrix where is some known  × -matrix. We construct a statistical procedure to estimate as well as under moment condition on or Gaussian hypothesis. Both cases are developed for known or unknown . Our approach is free from any prior assumption on and is based on non-asymptotic model selection methods....

Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory

Elena Di Bernardino, Thomas Laloë, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Clémentine Prieur (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () =  {() ≥ }, with  ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () =  { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric...

Means in complete manifolds: uniqueness and approximation

Marc Arnaudon, Laurent Miclo (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let be a complete Riemannian manifold,  ∈ ℕ and  ≥ 1. We prove that almost everywhere on  = ( ,, ) ∈  for Lebesgue measure in , the measure μ ( x ) = N k = 1 N x k μ ( x ) = 1 N ∑ k = 1 N δ x k has a unique–mean (). As a consequence, if  = ( ,, ) is a -valued random variable with absolutely continuous law, then almost surely (()) has a unique –mean. In particular if ( ...

On the distribution of characteristic parameters of words

Arturo Carpi, Aldo de Luca (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

For any finite word on a finite alphabet, we consider the basic parameters and of defined as follows: is the minimal natural number for which has no right special factor of length and is the minimal natural number for which has no repeated suffix of length . In this paper we study the distributions of these parameters, here called characteristic parameters, among the words ...
