Gamma-convergence results for phase-field approximations of the 2D-Euler Elastica Functional

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We establish some new results about the -limit, with respect to the -topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations { } , { ˜ } ℰ ε ε ,   x10ff65; ℰ ε ε of the so-called Euler’s Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane. In particular we characterize the-limit as  → 0 of ℰ, and show that in general the -limits of ℰand ˜ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary.

Some problems in automata theory which depend on the models of set theory

Olivier Finkel (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We prove that some fairly basic questions on automata reading infinite words depend on the models of the axiomatic system ZFC. It is known that there are only three possibilities for the cardinality of the complement of an -language L ( 𝒜 ) (x1d49c;) accepted by a Büchi 1-counter automaton 𝒜 x1d49c;. We prove the following surprising result: there exists a 1-counter Büchi automaton 𝒜 x1d49c; such that the cardinality of the complement L ( 𝒜 ) - (𝒜) of the -language...

Benjamin Charlier (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let ( 𝕊 1 , d 𝕊 1 S 1 , d S 1 ) be the unit circle in ℝ endowed with the arclength distance. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a general probability measure to admit a well defined Fréchet mean on ( 𝕊 1 , d 𝕊 1 S 1 , d S 1 ). We derive a new sufficient condition of existence() with no restriction on the support of the measure. Then, we study the convergence of the empirical Fréchet mean to the Fréchet mean and we give an algorithm to compute it.
