Book Description

Basic formulation of waveguide cavity resonator equations especially when the cross sections of the guides and resonators have arbitrary shapes. The focus is on expressing the total field energy within such a cavity resonator as a quadratic form in the complex coefficients that determine the modal expansions of the electromagnetic field.
The reviews of basic statistical signal processing covering linear models, fast algorithms for estimating the parameters in such linear models, applications of group representation theory to image processing problems especially the representations of the permutation groups and induced representation theory applied to image processing problems involving the three dimensional Euclidean motion group.
The Hartree-Fock equations for approximately solving the two electron atomic problem taking spin-orbit magnetic field interactions into account has been discussed. In the limit as the lattice tends to a continuum, the convergence of the stochastic differential equations governing interacting particles on the lattice to a hydrodynamic scaling limit.
It will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students with courses on transmission lines and waveguides, and statistical signal processing.

Book Description

This book is written for the love of numbers. It tells their story, shows how they were invented and used to quantify our world, and explains what quantitative data mean for our lives. It aspires to contribute to overall numeracy through a tour de force presentation of the production, use, and evolution of data.

Understanding our physical world, our economies, and our societies through quantification has been a persistent feature of human evolution. This book starts with a narrative on why and how our ancestors were driven to the invention of number, which is then traced to the eventual arrival at our number system. This is followed by a discussion of how numbers were used for counting, how they enabled the measurement of physical quantities, and how they led to the estimation of man-made and abstract notions in the socio-economic domain. As data donft fall like manna from the sky, a unique feature of this book is that it explains from a teacherfs perspective how theyfre really conceived in our minds, how theyfre actually produced from individual observations, and how this defines their meaning and interpretation. It discusses the significance of standards, the use of taxonomies, and clarifies a series of misconceptions regarding the making of data. The book then describes the switch to a new research paradigm and its implications, highlights the arrival of microdata, illustrates analytical uses of data, and closes with a look at the future of data and our own role in it.

Hardy Inequalities and Applications
Inequalities with Double Singular Weight

About this book

This book derives new Hardy inequalities with double singular weights - at an interior point and on the boundary of the domain. We focus on the optimality of Hardy constant and on its attainability. Applications include: results about existence\nonexistence and controllability for parabolic equations with double singular potentials; estimates from below of the fi rst eigenvalue of p-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

Includes methodology for obtaining new Hardy inequalities
Applications for estimates from below of the 1-st eigenvalue of p-Laplacian are derived
Examples of the sharpness of Hardy inequality and the optimality of Hardy constant

About this book

The introduction of cross diffusivity opens many questions in the theory of reactiondiffusion systems. This book will be the first to investigate such problems presenting new findings for researchers interested in studying parabolic and elliptic systems where classical methods are not applicable. In addition, The Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality involving BMO norms is improved and new techniques are covered that will be of interest. This book also provides many open problems suitable for interested Ph.D students.

Introduces differential equations and dynamical systems for applications in biology and ecology.

Covers the main components in cross diffusion systems:

Dynamics of solutions,
Coexistence of steady states
The persistence of evolution processes

Long-Time Dispersive Estimates for Perturbations of a Kink Solution of One-Dimensional Cubic Wave Equations cover

). Asymptotic stability of this solution under small odd perturbation in the energy space has been studied in a recent work of Kowalczyk, Martel and Munoz. They have been able to show that the perturbation may be written as the sum {a(t)Y(x) + \psi(t,x)}a(t)Y(x)+ƒÕ(t,x), where {Y}Y is a function in Schwartz space, {a(t)}a(t) a function of time having some decay properties at infinity, and {\psi(t,x)}ƒÕ(t,x) satisfies some local in space dispersive estimate. These results are likely to be optimal when the initial data belong to the energy space. On the other hand, for initial data that are smooth and have some decay at infinity, one may ask if precise dispersive time decay rates for the solution in the whole space-time, and not just for {x}x in a compact set, may be obtained. The goal of this work is to attack these questions.

Our main result gives, for small odd perturbations of the kink that are smooth enough and have some space decay, explicit rates of decay for {a(t)}a(t) and for {\psi(t,x)}ƒÕ(t,x) in the whole space-time domain intersected by a strip {|t| \leq \epsilon^{-4+c}}?t???

Our method of proof relies on construction of approximate solutions to the equation satisfied by {\psi}ƒÕ, conjugation of the latter in order to eliminate several potential terms, and normal forms to get rid of problematic contributions in the nonlinearity. We use also Fermifs golden rule in order to prove that the {a(t)Y}a(t)Y component decays when time grows.
