The Green and Ampt infiltration formula, as well as the Talsma and Parlange formula, are two-parameter equations that are both expressible in terms of Lambert W-functions. These representations are used to derive explicit, simple and accurate approximation ...
We present a numerically feasible semiclassical (SC) method to evaluate quantum fidelity decay (Loschmidt echo) in a classically chaotic system. It was thought that such evaluation would be intractable, but instead we show that a uniform SC expression not ...
Phase singularities appear in the diffracted far-field of an optical micro-structure if the object is of a sufficient lateral size to induce an appropriate phase delay. We present results that determine the critical dimension of a single phase bar for the ...
There is a growing interest on adapted signal expansions for efficient sparse approximations. For this purpose, signal expansions on over-complete bases are of high interest. Several strategies exist in order to get sparse approximations of a signal as a s ...
The LeGall 5⁄3 and Daubechies 9⁄7 filters have risen to special prominence because they were selected for inclusion in the JPEG2000 standard. Here, we determine their key mathematical features: Riesz bounds, order of approximation, and regularity (Hölder a ...
Hex-splines are a novel family of bivariate splines, which are well suited to handle hexagonally sampled data. Similar to classical 1D B-splines, the spline coefficients need to be computed by a prefilter. Unfortunately, the elegant implementation of this ...

This thesis focuses on the development of novel multiresolution image approximations. Specifically, we present two kinds of generalization of multiresolution techniques: image reduction for arbitrary scales, and nonlinear approximations using other metrics ...
To characterize the boundary layer development, in the cone of the Francis turbine, wall friction and velocity measurements are performed. The mean wall friction measurements evidence the increasing risk of the boundary layer separation at the cone wall wi ...

The electroosmotic flow in laminated excimer laser-ablated microchannels has been studied as a function of the depth of the rectangular channels, and particular emphasis has been given to the difference in the ζ-potentials between the lamination layer and ...
