The purpose of this presentation is to describe a recent family of basis functions—the fractional B-splines—which appear to be intimately connected to fractional calculus. Among other properties, we show that they are the convolution kernels that link the ...
We construct an approximate analytic expression for the growth of the neck between two sintering roughened crystals in contact with a melt. The result combines recent work on early phase sintering [R.S. Farr, M.J. Izzard, Phys. Rev. E 77 (2008) 041608], an ...
A framework for the construction of stable spectral methods on arbitrary domains with unstructured grids is presented. Although most of the developments are of a general nature, an emphasis is placed on schemes for the solution of partial differential equa ...
This paper analyzes the use of non-Gaussian input distributions over the Gaussian interference channel. It has been recently proved that the iid Gaussian code ensemble together with a decoder that treats interference as noise is sum-capacity achieving, if ...
In this work, we propose a new grid conversion algorithm between the hexagonal lattice and the orthogonal (a.k.a. Cartesian) lattice. The conversion process, named H2 O, is easy to implement and is perfectly reversible using the same algorithm to ...
We present a new family of two-dimensional and three-dimensional orthogonal wavelets which uses quincunx sampling. The orthogonal refinement filters have a simple analytical expression in the Fourier domain as a function of the order λ, which may be nonint ...
We present a new class of wavelet bases—Fresnelets—which is obtained by applying the Fresnel transform operator to a wavelet basis of L2 . The thus constructed wavelet family exhibits properties that are particularly useful for analyzing and proc ...
Band structure calculations for photonic crystals require the numerical solution of eigenvalue problems. In this paper, we consider crystals composed of lossy materials with frequency-dependent permittivities. Often, these frequency dependencies are modele ...
This article presents a study on the dynamics of lateral motion of a liquid meniscus confined by a pad and a chip moving parallel to the pad. This problem is a typical flip-chip case study, whose use is widespread in industrial assembly. The proposed model ...
A new approach to assess the orthogonality of two-dimensional (2-D) separation systems based on conditional entropy is developed. It considers the quantitative distribution of peaks in the entire separation space such that the orthogonality obtained is ind ...
