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 thesis we describe a path integral formalism to evaluate approximations to the probability density function for the location and orientation of one end of a continuum polymer chain at thermodynamic equilibrium with a heat bath. We concentrate on th ...
We have measured the far-infrared reflectivity spectra of the sodium vanadium oxide η-Na1.3V2O5 polycrystals in the wide temperature (80–300 K) and frequency (150–1500 cm−1) range. Appearance of new phonon oscillators, phonon oscillator mode splitting and ...
This paper presents an initial state of the art about the estimation of the sound power emitted by electrical machines. The paper proposes a new method, more accurate, to evaluate the sound power emitted by a PM machine by a 3D FEM mechanical analysis. It ...
We prove the existence of equivariant finite time blow-up solutions for the wave map problem from R2+ 1 -> S-2 of the form u( t, r) = Q(lambda( t) r) + R(t, r) where u is the polar angle on the sphere, Q(r) = 2 arctan r is the ground state harmonic map, la ...
Optical second harmonic generation, thanks to its coherent nature, is a suitable signal for interferometric measurements, such as digital holography: a well-established imaging technique that allows recovering of the complex diffraction wavefields from whi ...
We have observed the wavevector quantization in LaSrCuO films thinner than 12 unit cells grown on SrTiO3 substrates. Low energy dispersions were determined in situ for different photon energies by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. From the wavevec ...
We introduce mixed Wannier-Bloch functions for studying electronic and vibrational spectra of periodic systems. These functions carry both spatial localization and limited spectral broadening, thereby combining the advantages of descriptions based on energ ...
A general quantum-mechanical method for computing kinetic isotope effects is presented. The method is based on the quantum-instanton approximation for the rate constant and on the path-integral Metropolis–Monte Carlo evaluation of the Boltzmann operator ma ...
Nonlinear oscillators are widely used in biology, physics and engineering for modeling and control. They are interesting because of their synchronization properties when coupled to other dynamical systems. In this paper, we propose a learning rule for osci ...
