Restricted thresholding: recovering smoothness and preserving edges

Restricted non linear approximation is a generalization of the N‐term approximation in which a measure on the index set of the approximants controls the type, instead of the number, of elements in the approximation. Thresholding is a well‐known type of non linear approximation. We relate a generalized upper and lower Temlyakov property with the decreasing rate of the thresholding approximation. This relation is in the form of a characterization through some general discrete Lorentz spaces. Thus, not only we recover some results in the literature but find new ones. As an application of these results, we compress and reduce noise of some images with wavelets and shearlets and show, at least empirically, that the L²‐norm is not necessarily the best norm to measure the approximation error.     

Explicit uniform bounds on integrals of Bessel functions and trace theorems for Fourier transforms

Explicit and partly sharp estimates are given of integrals over the square of Bessel functions with an integrable weight which can be singular at the origin. They are uniform with respect to the order of the Bessel functions and provide explicit bounds for some smoothing estimates as well as for the L² restrictions of Fourier transforms onto spheres in which are independent of the radius of the sphere. For more special weights these restrictions are shown to be Hölder continuous with a Hölder constant having this independence as well. To illustrate the use of these results a uniform resolvent estimate of the free Dirac operator with mass in dimensions is derived.     

Non‐self‐adjoint singular second‐order dynamic operators on time scale

In this study, maximal dissipative second‐order dynamic operators on semi‐infinite time scale are studied in the Hilbert space , that the extensions of a minimal symmetric operator in limit‐point case. We construct a self‐adjoint dilation of the dissipative operator together with its incoming and outgoing spectral representations so that we can determine the scattering function of the dilation as stated in the scheme of Lax‐Phillips. Moreover, we construct a functional model of the dissipative operator and identify its characteristic function in terms of the Weyl‐Titchmarsh function of a self‐adjoint second‐order dynamic operator. Finally, we prove the theorems on completeness of the system of root functions of the dissipative and accumulative dynamic operators.     

On the fractional derivatives of radial basis functions: Theories and applications

The paper provides the fractional integrals and derivatives of the Riemann‐Liouville and Caputo type for the five kinds of radial basis functions, including the Powers, Gaussian, Multiquadric, Matérn, and Thin‐plate splines, in one dimension. It allows to use high‐order numerical methods for solving fractional differential equations. The results are tested by solving two test problems. The first test case focuses on the discretization of the fractional differential operator while the second considers the solution of a fractional order differential equation.     

Existence of homoclinic solutions for nonlinear second-order coupled systems

This work presents sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinic solutions for second order coupled discontinuous systems of differential equations on the real line without the usual growth condition in the literature.The arguments apply the fixed point theory, Green's functions technique, $L^1$-Carathéodory functions, lower and upper solutions and Schauder's fixed point theorem.     

Galerkin-FEM for obtaining the numerical solution of the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation

In this paper, an efficient numerical method for solving the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation (LFKGE) is introduced. The proposed method depends on the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) using quadratic B-spline base functions and replaces the Caputo fractional derivative using $L2$ discretization formula. The introduced technique reduces LFKGE to a system of algebraic equations, which solved using conjugate gradient method. The study the stability analysis to the approximation obtained by the proposed scheme is given. To test the accuracy of the proposed method we evaluated the error norm $L_{2}$. It is shown that the presented scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical example is given to show the validity and the accuracy of the introduced algorithm.     

A filtration of -Catalan numbers

The operator of F. Bergeron, Garsia, Haiman and Tesler [F. Bergeron, A. Garsia, M. Haiman, G. Tesler, Identities and positivity conjectures for some remarkable operators in the theory of symmetric functions, Methods Appl. Anal. 6 (1999) 363–420] acting on the k-Schur functions [L. Lapointe, A. Lascoux, J. Morse, Tableaux atoms and a new Macdonald positivity conjecture, Duke Math. J. 116 (2003) 103–146; L. Lapointe, J. Morse, Schur functions analogs for a filtration of the symmetric functions space, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 101 (2003) 191–224; L. Lapointe, J. Morse, Tableaux on k+1-cores, reduced words for affine permutations and k-Schur expansion, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 112 (2005) 44–81] indexed by a single column has a coefficient in the expansion which is an analogue of the (q,t)-Catalan number with a level k. When k divides n we conjecture a representation theoretical model in this case such that the graded dimensions of the module are the coefficients of the (q,t)-Catalan polynomials of level k. When the parameter t is set to 1, the Catalan numbers of level k are shown to count the number of Dyck paths that lie below a certain Dyck path with q counting the area of the path.
