Motivated by the work of Kupershmidt (J. Nonlin. Math. Phys. 6 (1998), 222 -245) we discuss the occurrence of left symmetry in a generalized Virasoro algebra. The multiplication rule is defined, which is necessary and sufficient for this algebra to be quas ...
We prove that a general condition introduced by Colombo and Gobbino to study limits of curves of maximal slope allows us to characterize also minimizing movements along a sequence of functionals as curves of maximal slope of a limit functional. ...
In today's digital world, sampling is at the heart of any signal acquisition device. Imaging devices are ubiquitous examples that capture two-dimensional visual signals and store them as the pixels of discrete images. The main concern is whether and how th ...
We introduce a new model of parametric contours defined in a continuous fashion. Our curve model relies on Hermite spline interpolation and can easily generate curves with sharp discontinuities; it also grants direct access to the tangent at each location. ...
In this paper, we introduce and analyze a new low-rank multilevel strategy for the solution of random diffusion problems. Using a standard stochastic collocation scheme, we first approximate the infinite dimensional random problem by a deterministic parame ...
A concept of a nature-inspired pedestrian bridge which tries to merge architectural, structural and manufacturing aspects in an optimized way is presented. The 18.0-m-span bridge is designed as an overhead spatial frame of a complex double-curved shape, wh ...
In this work, the influence of ply thickness on strain energy release rate (ERR) in delamination of carbon epoxy laminates is addressed. Specimens with three ply thicknesses: 0.030, 0.075 and 0.150 mm are tested. While the ERR at onset of crack propagation ...
INTERNODES is a general method to deal with non-conforming discretizations of second order partial differential equations on regions partitioned into two or several subdomains. It exploits two intergrid interpolation operators, one for transfering the Diri ...
In the scope of this study, the capability of particle image velocimetry (PIV) method to monitor cracking behavior of cement-based materials was investigated. Load-crack opening width curves for beam specimens were obtained both from conventional measureme ...
We introduce a notion of xi-stability on the affine grassmannian (SIC) for the classical groups, this is the local version of the xi-stability on the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve introduced by Chaudouard and Laumon. We prove that the quotient ( ...
