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

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We establish some new results about the -limit, with respect to the -topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations ${ℰ_{}}, {{\tilde{ℰ}}_{}}$ 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 $\tilde{ℰ}$ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary. More precisely we show that the domain of the-limit...

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...

Expansions for the distribution of M-estimates with applications to the Multi-Tone problem

Christopher S. Withers, Saralees Nadarajah (2011)

Necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a Fréchet mean on the circle

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.

In this paper we construct a new H(div)-conforming projection-based -interpolation operator that assumes only H() $\cap$ $\tilde{𝐇}$ (div, )-regularity ( > 0) on the reference element (either triangle or square) . We show that this operator is stable with respect to polynomial degrees and satisfies the commuting diagram property. We also establish an estimate for the interpolation error in the norm of the space $\tilde{𝐇}$ (div, ), which is closely related...

ESAIM: Proceedings

Similarity:

The numerical representation of convex risk measures beyond essentially bounded financial positions is an important topic which has been the theme of recent literature. In other direction, it has been discussed the assessment of essentially bounded risks taking explicitly new information into account, i.e., conditional convex risk measures. In this paper we combine these two lines of research. We discuss the numerical representation of ...

Recent results by Otto and the author quantify the error made by approximating the homogenized coefficient by the averaged energy of a regularized corrector...

This is a corollary of a general, “non-i.i.d.” result, which is also shown to enjoy a certain optimality property. Such results and their corollaries stated in terms of the absolute integrability of the corresponding characteristic...
