A bound on the Wasserstein-2 distance between linear combinations of independent random variables

We provide a bound on a distance between finitely supported elements and general elements of the unit sphere of ${?}^2\left({\mathbb{N}}^1\right)$. We use this bound to estimate the Wasserstein-2 distance between random variables represented by linear combinations of independent random variables. Our results are expressed in terms of a discrepancy measure related to Nourdin–Peccati’s Malliavin–Stein method. The main application is towards the computation of quantitative rates of convergence to elements of the second Wiener chaos. In particular, we explicit these rates for non-central asymptotic of sequences of quadratic forms and the behavior of the generalized Rosenblatt process at extreme critical exponent.     

Poisson discretizations of Wiener functionals and Malliavin operators with Wasserstein estimates

This article proposes a global, chaos-based procedure for the discretization of functionals of Brownian motion into functionals of a Poisson process with intensity $\lambda >0$. Under this discretization we study the weak convergence, as the intensity of the underlying Poisson process goes to infinity, of Poisson functionals and their corresponding Malliavin-type derivatives to their Wiener counterparts. In addition, we derive a convergence rate of $O\left({\lambda }^{?1∕4}\right)$ for the Poisson discretization of Wiener functionals by combining the multivariate Chen–Stein method with the Malliavin calculus. Our proposed sufficient condition for establishing the mentioned convergence rate involves the kernel functions in the Wiener chaos, yet we provide examples, especially the discretization of some common path dependent Wiener functionals, to which our results apply without committing the explicit computations of such kernels. To the best our knowledge, these are the first results in the literature on the universal convergence rate of a global discretization of general Wiener functionals.     

Effective permittivity of liquid crystal nanodispersions and composites with different pore structure

The volume filling fraction dependence of the effective permittivity of the nematic liquid crystal 4-n-pentyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl embedded in different porous membranes and dispersed with aerosil nanoparticles was determined using broadband dielectric spectroscopy in the frequency range from 10⁶ to 10⁹ Hz. The experimental data were analyzed and compared with some existing theories based on the effective medium approximation and their modifications. The obtained effective permittivities as a function of the volume filling fraction lie between the lower limits of the Wiener and Hashin–Shtrikman bounds. The observed shift of the experimental points reflects the changes in the structure of the investigated composites.     

Functional sample path properties of subsequence's C-R increments for a Wiener process in Hlder norm

In this paper, with the aid of large deviation formulas established in strong topology of functional space generated by H¨older norm, we discuss the functional sample path properties of subsequence's C-R increments for a Wiener process in H¨older normThe obtained results,generalize the corresponding results of Chen and the classic Strassen's law of iterated logarithm for a Wiener process.     

基于色彩衰减补偿和Retinex的水下图像增强

针对水下图像存在的色偏、雾状模糊、低曝光和非均匀光照问题, 提出一种基于色彩衰减补偿和Retinex的水下图像增强算法. 首先, 为校正水下图像的色偏, 利用水体对不同波长光线衰减不一致的特性自适应地补偿其R、G、B通道. 然后, 使用基于多尺度导向滤波的Retinex去除雾状模糊, 增强对比度. 最后, 根据水下图像和自然图像的直方图分布特征对其进行归一化处理, 从而在保存图像主要信息的前提下增强其纹理和曝光. 实验结果表明, 该算法不但具有较优的视觉感知效果, 而且具有较高的图像质量评价分数. 该算法具有较强的适应性, 有助于计算机视觉算法在水下的应用.     

A fresh approach to the Paley–Wiener theorem for Mellin transforms and the Mellin–Hardy spaces

Here we give a new approach to the Paley–Wiener theorem in a Mellin analysis setting which avoids the use of the Riemann surface of the logarithm and analytical branches and is based on new concepts of polar‐analytic function in the Mellin setting and Mellin–Bernstein spaces. A notion of Hardy spaces in the Mellin setting is also given along with applications to exponential sampling formulas of optical physics.     

Periodic Nonuniform Dynamical Sampling in ℓ2(ℤ) and Shift-Invariant Spaces

In this article, we mainly study the periodic nonuniform dynamical sampling in ?²(?) and shift-invariant spaces. We first provide a su?cient and necessary condition for c∈?²(?) which can be reconstructed by its spatial and temporal samples. Then we give a concrete example to show that the su?cient and necessary condition is feasible. Finally, we discuss the periodic nonuniform dynamic sampling problem in shift-invariant spaces.
