Regularity, Local and Microlocal Analysis in Theories of Generalized Functions

We introduce a general context involving a presheaf and a subpresheaf ℬ of  . We show that all previously considered cases of local analysis of generalized functions (defined from duality or algebraic techniques) can be interpretated as the ℬ-local analysis of sections of  . But the microlocal analysis of the sections of sheaves or presheaves under consideration is dissociated into a “frequential microlocal analysis” and into a “microlocal asymptotic analysis”. The frequential microlocal analysis based on the Fourier transform leads to the study of propagation of singularities under only linear (including pseudodifferential) operators in the theories described here, but has been extended to some non linear cases in classical theories involving Sobolev techniques. The microlocal asymptotic analysis is a new spectral study of singularities. It can inherit from the algebraic structure of ℬ some good properties with respect to nonlinear operations.

Dense mode clustering in brain maps

A mode-based clustering method is developed for identifying spatially dense clusters in brain maps. This type of clustering focuses on identifying clusters in brain maps independent of their shape or overall variance. This can be useful for both localization in terms of interpretation and for subsequent graphical analysis that might require more coherent or dense regions of interest as starting points. The method automatically does signal/noise sharpening through density mode seeking. We also discuss the problem of parameter selection with this method and propose a new method involving 2-parameter control surface, in which we show that the same cluster solution results from tradeoff of these 2 parameters (the local density k and the radius r of the spherical kernel). We benchmark the new dense mode clustering by using several artificially created data sets and brain imaging data sets from an event perception task by perturbing the data set with noise and measuring three kinds of deviation from the original cluster solution. We present benchmark results that demonstrate that the mode clustering method consistently outperforms the commonly used single-linkage clustering, k means method (centroid method) and Ward's method (variance method).     

A minimal distortion localization of occupied orbitals in supermolecule calculations of intermolecular interactions

A minimal distortion localization procedure is devised for defining subsystems in super-molecule calculations on weakly bonded complexes. When a set of orbitals for the isolated subsystem have been chosen, the localized supersystem orbitals are obtained by minimizing the sum of the least-square deviations from the isolated subsystem orbitals. Test calculations are presented for the beryllium complexes Be₂, Be₃ and Be₄, and the neon dimer. Received: 15 December 1996 / Accepted: 15 March 1997

二能级体系的动态局域化

综述了我们在二能级体系的动态局域化方面所作的工作.通过把受驱二能级体系的量子动力学映射到在二维谐性势场和与之垂直的周期性磁场中粒子的经典动力学,使得对局域化机制理解更为深刻.应用这种方案就可以得到在线性偏振场作用下二能级体系的局域化条件.同时解析地分析了在脉冲场和圆偏振场驱动下二能级体系的局域化,发现圆偏振场诱导的局域化可以由复平面上单位圆中的椭圆完全刻画.     

Localization length at the conductivity minima of the quantum Hall effect

The quantum localization is known to be responsible for the deep conductivity minima of the quantum Hall effect. In this paper we calculate the localization length as a function of magnetic field at such minima for several models of disorder (“white-noise”, short-range, and long-range random potentials). We find that with the exponent between one and , depending on the model. In particular, for the “white-noise” random potential roughly coincides with the classical cyclotron radius. Our results are in agreement with available experimental data.

Localization of elastic deformation in strongly anisotropic, porous, linear materials with periodic microstructures: Exact solutions and dilute expansions

Exact solutions are derived for the problem of a two-dimensional, infinitely anisotropic, linear-elastic medium containing a periodic lattice of voids. The matrix material possesses either one infinitely soft, or one infinitely hard loading direction, which induces localized (singular) field configurations. The effective elastic moduli are computed as functions of the porosity in each case. Their dilute expansions feature half-integer powers of the porosity, which can be correlated to the localized field patterns. Statistical characterizations of the fields, such as their first moments and their histograms are provided, with particular emphasis on the singularities of the latter. The behavior of the system near the void close-packing fraction is also investigated. The results of this work shed light on corresponding results for strongly non-linear porous media, which have been obtained recently by means of the “second-order” homogenization method, and where the dilute estimates also exhibit fractional powers of the porosity.
