Implicit Shape Reconstruction of Unorganized Points Using PDE-Based Deformable 3D Manifolds

<正>In this work we consider the problem of shape reconstruction from an unorganized data set which has many important applications in medical imaging,scientific computing,reverse engineering and geometric modelling.The reconstructed surface is obtained by continuously deforming an initial surface following the Partial Differential Equation(PDE)-based diffusion model derived by a minimal volume-like variational formulation.The evolution is driven both by the distance from the data set and by the curvature analytically computed by it.The distance function is computed by implicit local interpolants defined in terms of radial basis functions.Space discretization of the PDE model is obtained by finite co-volume schemes and semi-implicit approach is used in time/scale.The use of a level set method for the numerical computation of the surface reconstruction allows us to handle complex geometry and even changing topology, without the need of user-interaction.Numerical examples demonstrate the ability of the proposed method to produce high quality reconstructions.Moreover,we show the effectiveness of the new approach to solve hole filling problems and Boolean operations between different data sets.     

Multivariate quasi-tight framelets with high balancing orders derived from any compactly supported refinable vector functions

Generalizing wavelets by adding desired redundancy and flexibility,framelets(i.e.,wavelet frames)are of interest and importance in many applications such as image processing and numerical algorithms.Several key properties of framelets are high vanishing moments for sparse multiscale representation,fast framelet transforms for numerical efficiency,and redundancy for robustness.However,it is a challenging problem to study and construct multivariate nonseparable framelets,mainly due to their intrinsic connections to factorization and syzygy modules of multivariate polynomial matrices.Moreover,all the known multivariate tight framelets derived from spline refinable scalar functions have only one vanishing moment,and framelets derived from refinable vector functions are barely studied yet in the literature.In this paper,we circumvent the above difficulties through the approach of quasi-tight framelets,which behave almost identically to tight framelets.Employing the popular oblique extension principle(OEP),from an arbitrary compactly supported M-refinable vector functionφwith multiplicity greater than one,we prove that we can always derive fromφa compactly supported multivariate quasi-tight framelet such that:(i)all the framelet generators have the highest possible order of vanishing moments;(ii)its associated fast framelet transform has the highest balancing order and is compact.For a refinable scalar functionφ(i.e.,its multiplicity is one),the above item(ii)often cannot be achieved intrinsically but we show that we can always construct a compactly supported OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight framelet derived fromφsatisfying item(i).We point out that constructing OEP-based quasi-tight framelets is closely related to the generalized spectral factorization of Hermitian trigonometric polynomial matrices.Our proof is critically built on a newly developed result on the normal form of a matrix-valued filter,which is of interest and importance in itself for greatly facilitating the study of refinable vector functions and multiwavelets/multiframelets.This paper provides a comprehensive investigation on OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated framelet transforms with high balancing orders.This deepens our theoretical understanding of multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated fast multiframelet transforms.

Poisson Stable Solutions for Stochastic Differential Equations with Lévy Noise

In this paper,we use a unified framework to study Poisson stable(including stationary,periodic,quasi-periodic,almost periodic,almost automorphic,Birkhoff recurrent,almost recurrent in the sense of Bebutov,Levitan almost periodic,pseudo-periodic,pseudo-recurrent and Poisson stable)solutions for semilinear stochastic differential equations driven by infinite dimensional L′evy noise with large jumps.Under suitable conditions on drift,diffusion and jump coefficients,we prove that there exist solutions which inherit the Poisson stability of coefficients.Further we show that these solutions are globally asymptotically stable in square-mean sense.Finally,we illustrate our theoretical results by several examples.

Kobayashi’s and Teichmuller’s Metrics and Bers Complex Manifold Structure on Circle Diffeomorphisms

Given a modulus of continuity ω,we consider the Teichmuller space TC1+ω as the space of all orientation-preserving circle diffeomorphisms whose derivatives are ω-continuous functions modulo the space of Mobius transformations preserving the unit disk.We study several distortion properties for diffeomorphisms and quasisymmetric homeomorphisms.Using these distortion properties,we give the Bers complex manifold structure on the Teichm(u| ")ller space TC^1+H as the union of over all0 <α≤1,which turns out to be the largest space in the Teichmuller space of C1 orientation-preserving circle diffeomorphisms on which we can assign such a structure.Furthermore,we prove that with the Bers complex manifold structure on TC^1+H ,Kobayashi’s metric and Teichmuller’s metric coincide.     

Difference of a Hauptmodul for Γ0(N ) and certain Gross-Zagier type CM value formulas

In this work, we show that the difference of a Hauptmodul for a genus zero group Γ₀(N) as a modular function on Y₀(N) × Y₀(N) is a Borcherds lift of type(2, 2). As applications, we derive the monster denominator formula like product expansions for these modular functions and certain Gross-Zagier type CM value formulas.     

Populations with individual variation in dispersal in heterogeneous environments: Dynamics and competition with simply diffusing populations

We consider a model for a population in a heterogeneous environment, with logistic-type local population dynamics, under the assumption that individuals can switch between two different nonzero rates of diffusion. Such switching behavior has been observed in some natural systems. We study how environmental heterogeneity and the rates of switching and diffusion affect the persistence of the population. The reactiondiffusion systems in the models can be cooperative at some population densities and competitive at others. The results extend our previous work on similar models in homogeneous environments. We also consider competition between two populations that are ecologically identical, but where one population diffuses at a fixed rate and the other switches between two different diffusion rates. The motivation for that is to gain insight into when switching might be advantageous versus diffusing at a fixed rate. This is a variation on the classical results for ecologically identical competitors with differing fixed diffusion rates, where it is well known that "the slower diffuser wins".     

A SPECTRAL METHOD FOR A WEAKLY SINGULAR VOLTERRA INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH PANTOGRAPH DELAY

In this paper,a Jacobi-collocation spectral method is developed for a Volterraintegro-differential equation with delay,which contains a weakly singular kernel.We use a function transformation and a variable transformation to change the equation into a new Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval [-1,1],so that the Jacobi orthogonal polynomial theory can be applied conveniently.In order to obtain high order accuracy for the approximation,the integral term in the resulting equat...     

Solitary Wave Solutions of Some Nonlinear Physical Models Using Riccati Equation Approach

Riccati equation approach is used to look for exact travelling wave solutions of some nonlinear physical models.Solitary wave solutions are established for the modified KdV equation,the Boussinesq equation and the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation.New generalized solitary wave solutions with some free parameters are derived.The obtained solutions,which includes some previously known solitary wave solutions and some new ones,are expressed by a composition of Riccati differential equation solutions followed by a polynomial.The employed approach,which is straightforward and concise,is expected to be further employed in obtaining new solitary wave solutions for nonlinear physical problems.     

Bi-block positive semidefiniteness of bi-block symmetric tensors

The positive definiteness of elasticity tensors plays an important role in the elasticity theory.In this paper,we consider the bi-block symmetric tensors,which contain elasticity tensors as a subclass.First,we define the bi-block M-eigenvalue of a bi-block symmetric tensor,and show that a bi-block symmetric tensor is bi-block positive(semi)definite if and only if its smallest bi-block M-eigenvalue is(nonnegative)positive.Then,we discuss the distribution of bi-block M-eigenvalues,by which we get a sufficient condition for judging bi-block positive(semi)definiteness of the bi-block symmetric tensor involved.Particularly,we show that several classes of bi-block symmetric tensors are bi-block positive definite or bi-block positive semidefinite,including bi-block(strictly)diagonally dominant symmetric tensors and bi-block symmetric(B)B0-tensors.These give easily checkable sufficient conditions for judging bi-block positive(semi)definiteness of a bi-block symmetric tensor.As a byproduct,we also obtain two easily checkable sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of elasticity tensors.     

HYBRID REGULARIZED CONE-BEAM RECONSTRUCTION FOR AXIALLY SYMMETRIC OBJECT TOMOGRAPHY

In this paper,we consider 3 D tomographic reconstruction for axially symmetric objects from a single radiograph formed by cone-beam X-rays.All contemporary density reconstruction methods in high-energy X-ray radiography are based on the assumption that the cone beam can be treated as fan beams located at parallel planes perpendicular to the symmetric axis,so that the density of the whole object can be recovered layer by layer.Considering the relationship between different layers,we undertake the cone-beam global reconstruction to solve the ambiguity effect at the material interfaces of the reconstruction results.In view of the anisotropy of classical discrete total variations,a new discretization of total variation which yields sharp edges and has better isotropy is introduced in our reconstruction model.Furthermore,considering that the object density consists of continually changing parts and jumps,a high-order regularization term is introduced.The final hybrid regularization model is solved using the alternating proximal gradient method,which was recently applied in image processing.Density reconstruction results are presented for simulated radiographs,which shows that the proposed method has led to an improvement in terms of the preservation of edge location.

A local discontinuous Galerkin method for the pattern formation dynamical model in polymerizing action flocks

In this paper,we apply local discontinuous Galerkin methods to the pattern formation dynamical model in polymerizing action flocks.Optimal error estimates for the density and filament polarization in different norms are established.We use a semi-implicit spectral deferred correction time method for time discretization,which allows a relative large time step and avoids computation of a Jacobian matrix.Numerical experiments are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and to show the capability for simulations of action wave formation.     

LOCAL GAUSSIAN-COLLOCATION SCHEME TO APPROXIMATE THE SOLUTION OF NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS USING VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

This work describes an accurate and effective method for numerically solving a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations.To start the method,we equivalently convert these types of differential equations to nonlinear fractional Volterra integral equations of the second kind by integrating from both sides of them.Afterward,the solution of the mentioned Volterra integral equations can be estimated using the collocation method based on locally supported Gaussian functions.The local Gaussian-collocation scheme estimates the unknown function utilizing a small set of data instead of all points in the solution domain,so the proposed method uses much less computer memory and volume computing in comparison with global cases.We apply the composite non-uniform Gauss-Legendre quadrature formula to estimate singular-fractional integrals in the method.Because of the fact that the proposed scheme requires no cell structures on the domain,it is a meshless method.Furthermore,we obtain the error analysis of the proposed method and demon-strate that the convergence rate of the approach is arbitrarily high.Illustrative examples clearly show the reliability and efficiency of the new technique and confirm the theoretical error estimates.     

Concentration Inequalities for Statistical Inference

This paper gives a review of concentration inequalities which are widely employed in non-asymptotical analyses of mathematical statistics in awide range of settings,fromdistribution-free to distribution-dependent,from sub-Gaussian to sub-exponential,sub-Gamma,and sub-Weibull random variables,and from the mean to the maximum concentration.This review provides results in these settings with some fresh new results.Given the increasing popularity of high-dimensional data and inference,results in the context of high-dimensional linear and Poisson regressions are also provided.We aim to illustrate the concentration inequalities with known constants and to improve existing bounds with sharper constants.
