Segmentation of synthetic aperture radar image using multiscale information measure-based spectral clustering

A multiscale information measure （MIM）, calculable from per-pixel wavelet coefficients, but relying on global statistics of synthetic aperture radar （SAR） image, is proposed. It fully exploits the variations in speckle pattern when the image resolution varies from course to fine, thus it can capture the intrinsic texture of the scene backscatter and the texture due to speckle simultaneously. Graph spectral segmen- tation methods based on MIM and the usual similarity measure are carried out on two real SAR images. Experimental results show that MIM can characterize texture information of SAR image more effectively than the commonly used similarity measure.

Multiplication Modules and a Theorem of P. F. Smith

P. F. Smith [7, Theorem 8] gave sufficient conditions on a finite set of modules for their sum and intersection to be multiplication modules. We give sufficient conditions on an arbitrary set of multiplication modules for the intersection to be a multiplication module. We generalize Smith"s theorem, and we prove conditions on sums and intersections of sets of modules sufficient for them to be multiplication modules. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Description of the Real von Neumann Algebras with Abelian Skew-Symmetric Part

In this note we describe (up to isomorphism) the real von Neiman algebras R with Abelian skew-symmetric part , i.e., such that xy-yx=0 for any .     

The Intersection of Opposed Big Cells in The Real Flag Variety of Type G2

We compute the Euler characteristics of the individual connectedcomponents of the intersection of two opposed big cells in thereal flag variety of type G₂, verifying a conjecture of Rietsch[6]. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: primary 14M15; secondary20G20.     

On systems of binomials in the ideal of a toric variety

Let be a toric set in the affine space . Given a set of binomials in the toric ideal of , we give a criterion for deciding the equality rad( ) = . This criterion extends to arbitrary dimension, and to arbitrary fields, an earlier result which concerned only monomial curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

     

Associated primes of graded components of local cohomology modules

The -th local cohomology module of a finitely generated graded module over a standard positively graded commutative Noetherian ring , with respect to the irrelevant ideal , is itself graded; all its graded components are finitely generated modules over , the component of of degree . It is known that the -th component of this local cohomology module is zero for all > 0$">. This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of as .

The smallest for which such study is interesting is the finiteness dimension of relative to , defined as the least integer for which is not finitely generated. Brodmann and Hellus have shown that is constant for all (that is, in their terminology, is asymptotically stable for ). The first main aim of this paper is to identify the ultimate constant value (under the mild assumption that is a homomorphic image of a regular ring): our answer is precisely the set of contractions to of certain relevant primes of whose existence is confirmed by Grothendieck's Finiteness Theorem for local cohomology.

Brodmann and Hellus raised various questions about such asymptotic behaviour when f$">. They noted that Singh's study of a particular example (in which ) shows that need not be asymptotically stable for . The second main aim of this paper is to determine, for Singh's example, quite precisely for every integer , and, thereby, answer one of the questions raised by Brodmann and Hellus.

     

Visualization of Effect Algebras by Automorphisms

We show that every effect algebra satisfying the Riesz decomposition property can be represented as an effect algebra of automorphisms of an antilattice, and every MV-algebra can be represented as an MV-algebra of automorphisms of a linearly ordered set. Such a representation enables us to visualize effect algebras by functions. This is a variation of the Holland representation theorem for -groups and of its generalization of Glass for directed interpolation po-groups as -groups or po-groups automorphisms of linearly ordered set or of an antilattice, respectively.     

The Renormalization Group and Its Finite Lattice Approximations

We investigate finite lattice approximations to the Wilson renormalization group in models of unconstrained spins. We discuss first the properties of the renormalization group transformation (RGT) that control the accuracy of this type of approximation and explain different methods and techniques to practically identify them. We also discuss how to determine the anomalous dimension of the field. We apply our considerations to a linear sigma model in two dimensions in the domain of attraction of the Ising fixed point using a Bell–Wilson RGT. We are able to identify optimal RGTs which allow accurate computations of quantities such as critical exponents, fixed-point couplings and eigenvectors with modest statistics. We finally discuss the advantages and limitations of this type of approach.
