CONSERVATION LAWS FOR HEATED LAMINAR RADIAL LIQUID AND FREE JETS

The conserved quantities for the heated radial liquid jet and the heated radial free jet are established by using conservation laws. The flow in a heated radial jet is described by Prandtl's momentum boundary layer equation, the continuity equation and the energy equation. Viscous dissipation is neglected. The multiplier approach is used to derive the conservation laws for the system of three equations for the velocity components and the temperature and three conserved vectors are obtained. The conservation laws for the system of two partial differential equations for the stream function formulation are also computed by the multiplier approach and three conserved vectors are obtained. One of these is a non-local conserved vector for the system. The conserved quantities for the heated radial liquid jet and the heated radial free jet, emitted into a stationary fluid of uniform temperature θ_∞, are derived by integrating the conservation laws across the jet.     

On sequences of Hurwitz polynomials related to orthogonal polynomials

ABSTRACT

In this contribution, we explore the well-known connection between Hurwitz and orthogonal polynomials. Namely, given a Hurwitz polynomial, it is shown that it can be decomposed into two parts: a polynomial that is orthogonal with respect to some positive measure supported in the positive real axis and its corresponding second-kind polynomial. Conversely, given a sequence of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a positive measure supported in the positive real axis, a sequence of Hurwitz polynomials can be constructed. Based on that connection, we construct sequences of Hurwitz polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation, in a similar way as the orthogonal polynomials do. Even more, we present a way to construct families of Hurwitz polynomials using two sequences of parameters and a recurrence relation that constitutes an analogue of Favard's theorem in the theory of orthogonal polynomials.     

Automatic Symmetrization and Energy Estimates Using Local Operators for Partial Differential Equations

We develop a method for automatically symmetrizing Petrowsky well-posed Cauchy problems for constant coefficient linear partial differential equations. The method is rooted in the Sturm sequence technique for establishing the location of the roots of a complex polynomial and can be automated using standard symbolic computation tools. In the special case of homogeneous strictly hyperbolic scalar equations, we show that the resulting estimates are strong enough to control all principal order derivatives and thus can be used in place of the Leray energies. We also illustrate the method by applying it to various problems of mixed type.     

Wavelet analysis method for solving linear and nonlinear singular boundary value problems

In this paper, a robust and accurate algorithm for solving both linear and nonlinear singular boundary value problems is proposed. We introduce the Chebyshev wavelets operational matrix of derivative and product operation matrix. Chebyshev wavelets expansions together with operational matrix of derivative are employed to solve ordinary differential equations in which, at least, one of the coefficient functions or solution function is not analytic. Several examples are included to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.     

Supervised Domain Adaptation for Automated Semantic Segmentation of the Atrial Cavity

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. At present, cardiac ablation is the main treatment procedure for AF. To guide and plan this procedure, it is essential for clinicians to obtain patient-specific 3D geometrical models of the atria. For this, there is an interest in automatic image segmentation algorithms, such as deep learning (DL) methods, as opposed to manual segmentation, an error-prone and time-consuming method. However, to optimize DL algorithms, many annotated examples are required, increasing acquisition costs. The aim of this work is to develop automatic and high-performance computational models for left and right atrium (LA and RA) segmentation from a few labelled MRI volumetric images with a 3D Dual U-Net algorithm. For this, a supervised domain adaptation (SDA) method is introduced to infer knowledge from late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MRI volumetric training samples (80 LA annotated samples) to a network trained with balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) MR images of limited number of annotations (19 RA and LA annotated samples). The resulting knowledge-transferred model SDA outperformed the same network trained from scratch in both RA (Dice equals 0.9160) and LA (Dice equals 0.8813) segmentation tasks.     

Multiplier operators and extremal functions related to the dual dunkl-sonine operator

We study the dual Dunkl-Sonine operator ^tS_k,? on ?^d, and give expression of ^tS_k,?, using Dunkl multiplier operators on ?^d. Next, we study the extremal functions f^*_λ, λ >0 related to the Dunkl multiplier operators, and more precisely show that {f^*_λ} λ >0 converges uniformly to ^tS_k,?(f) as λ → 0+. Certain examples based on Dunkl-heat and Dunkl-Poisson kernels are provided to illustrate the results.     

An Approximation Theory for Operators Generated by Shifts

This paper develops a theory about the applicability of approximation methods to operators that can be represented as a function of a shift. An axiomatic approach is used, in which a small set of conditions that involve the operator and the method are proved to guarantee the applicability. All concrete methods we know for the underlying operators are subjected to this approach. We also study the behavior of the singular values and related questions. New results concerning Galerkin approximation methods for Mellin operators with piecewise continuous symbol are given to illustrate the application of the theory.     

On the Associated Primes of Matlis Duals of Top Local Cohomology Modules

After motivating the question, we prove various results about the set of associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules. In some cases, we can calculate this set. An easy application of this theory is the well-known fact that Krull dimension can be expressed by the vanishing of local cohomology modules.
