Adaptive Fourier decomposition‐based Dirac type time‐frequency distribution

The Dirac‐type time‐frequency distribution (TFD), regarded as ideal TFD, has long been desired. It, until the present time, cannot be implemented, due to the fact that there has been no appropriate representation of signals leading to such TFD. Instead, people have been developing other types of TFD, including the Wigner and the windowed Fourier transform types. This paper promotes a practical passage leading to a Dirac‐type TFD. Based on the proposed function decomposition method, viz., adaptive Fourier decomposition, we establish a rigorous and practical Dirac‐type TFD theory. We do follow the route of analytic signal representation of signals founded and developed by Garbo, Ville, Cohen, Boashash, Picinbono, and others. The difference, however, is that our treatment is theoretically throughout and rigorous. To well illustrate the new theory and the related TFD, we include several examples and experiments of which some are in comparison with the most commonly used TFDs.

Tree maps having chain movable fixed points

In this paper we discuss some basic properties of chain reachable sets and chain equivalent sets of continuous maps. It is proved that if f:T→T is a tree map which has a chain movable fixed point v, and the chain equivalent set CE(v,f) is not contained in the set P(f) of periodic points of f, then there exists a positive integer p not greater than the number of points in the set End([CE(v,f)])−Pv(f) such that fp is turbulent, and the topological entropy . This result generalizes the corresponding results given in Block and Coven (1986) [2], Guo et al. (2003) [6], Sun and Liu (2003) [10], Ye (2000) [11], Zhang and Zeng (2004) [12]. In addition, in this paper we also consider metric spaces which may not be trees but have open subsets U such that the closures are trees. Maps of such metric spaces which have chain movable fixed points are discussed.     

A predictor-corrector smoothing method for second-order cone programming

In this paper, the second order cone programming problem is studied. By introducing a parameter into the Fischer-Burmeister function, a predictor-corrector smoothing Newton method for solving the problem is presented. The proposed algorithm does neither have restrictions on its starting point nor need additional computation which keep the iteration sequence staying in the given neighborhood. Furthermore, the global and the local quadratic convergence of the algorithm are obtained, among others, the local quadratic convergence of the algorithm is established without strict complementarity. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the algorithm is effective.     

Exact inversion of a compound conical Radon transform and a novel nuclear imaging principleInversion exacte d'une transformation conique de Radon composée et nouveau principe d'imagerie nucléaire

A new integral transform arising from a theory of imaging based on Compton scattering is introduced and the explicit expression for its inverse is established. Its properties serve as foundation to a new nuclear emission imaging principle. To cite this article: M.K. Nguyen, T.T. Truong, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 335 (2002) 213–217.     

Jordan operator algebras revisited

Jordan operator algebras are norm‐closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with for all . In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory of associative operator algebras, in particular, surprisingly much of the associative theory from several recent papers of the first author and coauthors, generalizes to Jordan operator algebras. In the present paper we complete this task, giving several results which generalize the associative case in these papers, relating to unitizations, real positivity, hereditary subalgebras, and a couple of other topics. We also solve one of the three open problems stated at the end of our earlier joint paper on Jordan operator algebras.     

Convergence and Quasi-Optimality of an Adaptive Multi-Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin Method

An adaptive multi-penalty discontinuous Galerkin method (AMPDG) for the diffusion problem is considered. Convergence and quasi-optimality of the AMPDG are proved. Compared with the analyses for the adaptive finite element method or the adaptive interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method, extra works is done to overcome the difficulties caused by the additional penalty terms.

Self-similar solutions to the isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes equations

^** Email: guo_zhenhua{at}iapcm.ac.cn^*** Email: jiang{at}iapcm.ac.cn We investigate the self-similar solutions to the isothermalcompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The aim of thispaper is to show that there exist neither forward nor backwardself-similar solutions with finite total energy. This generalizesthe results for the incompressible case in Neas, J., Rika, M.& verák, V. (1996, On Leray's self-similar solutionsof the Navier-Stokes equations. Acta. Math., 176, 283–294),and is consistent with the (unproved) existence of regular solutionsglobally in time for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations.
