Tight wavelet frames for irregular multiresolution analysis

An important tool for the construction of tight wavelet frames is the Unitary Extension Principle first formulated in the Fourier-domain by Ron and Shen. We show that the time-domain analogue of this principle provides a unified approach to the construction of tight frames based on many variations of multiresolution analyses, e.g., regular refinements of bounded L-shaped domains, refinements of subdivision surfaces around irregular vertices, and nonstationary subdivision. We consider the case of nonnegative refinement coefficients and develop a fully local construction method for tight frames. Especially, in the shift-invariant setting, our construction produces the same tight frame generators as the Unitary Extension Principle.

Spectral methods for orthogonal rational functions

We present an operator theoretic approach to orthogonal rational functions based on the identification of a suitable matrix representation of the multiplication operator associated with the corresponding orthogonality measure. Two alternatives are discussed, leading to representations which are linear fractional transformations with matrix coefficients acting on infinite Hessenberg or five-diagonal unitary matrices. This approach permits us to recover the orthogonality measure throughout the spectral analysis of an infinite matrix depending uniquely on the poles and the parameters of the recurrence relation for the orthogonal rational functions. Besides, the zeros of the orthogonal and para-orthogonal rational functions are identified as the eigenvalues of matrix linear fractional transformations of finite Hessenberg or five-diagonal matrices. As an application we use operator perturbation theory results to obtain new relations between the support of the orthogonality measure and the location of the poles and parameters of the recurrence relation for the orthogonal rational functions.     

Geometry dependence of the elongation behavior of a polypropylene melt through a micro die

A series of rheological experiments was performed for a polypropylene (PP) melt to explore its elongation behavior through a capillary die. Using an advanced twin-bore capillary rheometer with dies measuring 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25 mm in diameter, the experiments were performed at 210, 220, and 230 °C. The results indicated that the temperature of the PP melt had a significant effect on its extensional viscosity. The different decreases in the extensional viscosity values in the tested dies revealed the geometry dependence of the extensional viscosity. In the case of PP in the 0.25 mm die at 210 °C, the extensional viscosity values under different extensional strain rates were much higher than those in the other dies. Only in the 1.0 mm die did the relationship between the extensional viscosity of PP and its temperature obey the Arrhenius equation due to the larger die size which related to a slight size effect on its elongation behavior. The calculated deviations of the extensional viscosity in the tested dies demonstrated that the increasing pressure applied to the PP melt in the micro channel was related to the geometry dependence of the elongation behavior of the PP melt. The change in the extensional viscosity eventually relied on the interaction of the die geometry, the temperature, and the extensional stress of the PP melt.     

Hyperinstantons,the Beltrami equation,and triholomorphic maps

We consider the Beltrami equation for hydrodynamics and we show that its solutions can be viewed as instanton solutions of a more general system of equations. The latter are the equations of motion for an sigma model on 4‐dimensional worldvolume (which is taken locally HyperKähler) with a 4‐dimensional HyperKähler target space. By means of the 4D twisting procedure originally introduced by Witten for gauge theories and later generalized to 4D sigma‐models by Anselmi and Fré, we show that the equations of motion describe triholomophic maps between the worldvolume and the target space. Therefore, the classification of the solutions to the 3‐dimensional Beltrami equation can be performed by counting the triholomorphic maps. The counting is easily obtained by using several discrete symmetries. Finally, the similarity with holomorphic maps for sigma on Calabi‐Yau space prompts us to reformulate the problem of the enumeration of triholomorphic maps in terms of a topological sigma model.     

Structures, stabilities and magnetic properties of FeCon−1 (n≤16) clusters

Under GGA, size dependence of the geometrical structures, stabilities and magnetic properties of FeCo_n−1 clusters (n≤16) have been investigated together with the Co_n clusters for comparison using DFT within the PAW method implemented in VASP. The replaced Fe atom is favorable to occupy the surface position except for FeCo₁₃. The peaks appeared at n=6, 9 and 11 for FeCo_n−1 clusters and at n=6, 9 and 12 for Co_n clusters on the size dependence of second difference of total energy imply that these clusters possess relatively higher stability. The magnetic moment is strongly correlated with the effective hybridization, which is closely related to the average bond length 〈d〉 and average coordination number 〈n_c〉. A small change in the total charge of Fe atom in FeCo_n−1 clusters will lead to a relative large reverse change in the total magnetic moment of Fe atom.     

Deriving Energy-Gap of Some Hamiltonians with Kinetic Coupling by the Invariant Eigen-Operator Method

We begin with proposing a unitary operator responsible for diagonalizing the Hamiltonian with kinetic couplings in particle physics to get a new form of Hamiltonian which has no coupling terms. By virtue of the invariant eigen-operator (IEO) method we search for the invariant eigen-operators for the new Hamiltonian. In this way the energy-gap of the Hamiltonians can be naturally obtained. This method may be generalized to N-mode Hamiltonian with kinetic couplings case.
