In this paper we demonstrate how, using the coset construction, a theory can be systematically made Weyl invariant by gauging the scale symmetry. We show that an analog of the inverse Higgs constraint allows the elimination of the Weyl vector (gauge) field ...
Criteria for the bifurcation of small solutions of an equation F(lambda,u) = 0 from a line {(lambda,0): lambda is an element of R} of trivial solutions are usually based on properties of the DuF(lambda,0) at the trivial solutions, where the partial derivat ...
We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method for convection-subdiffusion equations with a fractional operator of order alpha [1,2] defined through the fractional Laplacian. The fractional operator of order alpha is expressed as a composite of first order der ...

We consider the parabolic Anderson model driven by fractional noise: partial derivative/partial derivative t u(t,x) = k Delta u(t,x) + u(t,x)partial derivative/partial derivative t W(t,x) x is an element of Z(d), t >= 0, where k > 0 is a diffusion constant ...
In this paper, we propose reduced basis multiscale finite element methods (RB-MsFEM) for elliptic problems with highly oscillating coefficients. The method is based on multiscale finite element methods with local test functions that encode the oscillatory ...

In this work, we postulate, implement and evaluate modifications to the "population-splitting" concept, introduced by Nenes and Seinfeld (2003), for calculation of water-condensation rates in droplet-activation parameterizations. The population-splitting a ...
We report a technique for direct phase derivative estimation from a single recording of a complex interferogram. In this technique, the interference field is represented as an autoregressive model with spatially varying coefficients. Estimates of these coe ...
We consider the hyperboloidal initial value problem for the cubic focusing wave equation (-partial derivative(2)(t) + Delta(x))nu(t, x) + nu(t, x)(3) = 0, x is an element of R-3 Without symmetry assumptions, we prove the existence of a codimension-4 Lipsch ...
One unaddressed challenge in optical metrology has been the measurement of higher order derivatives of rough specimens subjected to loading. In this paper, we investigate an approach that allows for the simultaneous estimation of the phase and its higher o ...
The CHEASE code, which has been developed at the Swiss Plasma Center, generates an accurate reconstruction of toroidal magnetohydrodynamics equilibria by numerically solving the Grad-Shafranov equation. Having demonstrated its ability to achieve good conve ...
