Reconstructing small perturbations of an obstacle for acoustic waves from boundary measurements on the perturbed shape itself

We derive relationships between the shape deformation of an impenetrable obstacle and boundary measurements of scattering fields on the perturbed shape itself. Our derivation is rigorous by using a systematic way, based on layer potential techniques and the field expansion (FE) method (formal derivation). We extend these techniques to derive asymptotic expansions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DNO) and Neumann-to-Dirichlet (NDO) operators in terms of the small perturbations of the obstacle as well as relationships between the shape deformation of an obstacle and boundary measurements of DNO or NDO on the perturbed shape itself. All relationships lead us to very effective algorithms for determining lower order Fourier coefficients of the shape perturbation of the obstacle.     

非晶态MnO_x/TiO_2催化剂的制备及其低温NH_3-SCR性能

采用自发沉积法、共沉淀法及浸渍法制备MnO_x/TiO_2催化剂,通过XRD、TEM、N2吸附-脱附、XPS、H_2-TPR、NH_3-TPD等一系列表征手段研究MnO_x/TiO_2催化剂的结构与性质,并考察MnO_x/TiO_2催化剂低温NH_3-SCR性能。结果表明,自发沉积法制备的MnO_x/Ti O2(s)催化剂具有完全非晶态结构,Mn和Ti之间存在强相互作用,较共沉淀法制备的MnO_x/TiO_2(c)及浸渍法制备的MnO_x/Ti O2(i)表现出更强的氧化还原能力。MnO_x/TiO_2(s)具有较高的比表面积、较多的表面酸量,有利于NH_3的吸附与活化。且表面高浓度的Mn4+离子及吸附氧,有利于将NO氧化为NO2,促进发生"fast-SCR"反应,进而使其表现出优异的低温脱硝性能。MnO_x/TiO_2(s)催化剂在150℃时NO的转化率高达92.8%,在150-350℃NO的转化率保持在90%以上,此外其还具备较强的抗H_2O和SO_2毒化能力。     

Asymptotic Bound on the Characteristic Function of Signed Linear Serial Rank Statistics

This work establishes an asymptotic bound on the characteristic function of signed linear serial rank statistics. The result is obtained under rather general conditions including the important case of van der Waerden scores. It generalizes the result of Seoh (1983, Ph.D. Thesis, Department of Mathematics, Indiana University) and constitutes an essential step to the elaboration of Berry-Esséen's bounds and the establishment of Edgeworth expansions. These statistics constitute a natural tool for testing the hypothesis of white noise with a symmetrical (unspecified) distribution in comparison to other alternative hypothesis of serial dependence.     

Onm-dependence and Edgeworth expansions

This paper contains two results. The first establishes, under mild assumptions, the validity of an Edgeworth expansion with remaindero(N ^–1/2) for aU-statistic with a kernel of degree two using observations from anm-dependent shift. The second result gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the distribution of a sum ofm-dependent random variables to possess an Edgeworth expansion. This generalizes a result of Bickel and Robinson from the i.i.d. case to them-dependent case.This research was supported in part by National Science Foundation, Grant DMS 89-23071.     

Symbolic evaluation of coefficients in Airy-type asymptotic expansions

Computer algebra algorithms are developed for evaluating the coefficients in Airy-type asymptotic expansions that are obtained from integrals with a large parameter. The coefficients are defined from recursive schemes obtained from integration by parts. An application is given for the Weber parabolic cylinder function.     

A local error estimate of the method of multi-scale asymptotic expansions for elliptic problems with rapidly oscillatory coefficients

In this paper, on basis of [O.A. Oleinik, A.S. Shamaev, G.A. Yosifian, Mathematical Problems in Elasticity and Homogenization, North-Holland, Amsterdam, 1992], we present a local error estimate of the method of multi-scale asymptotic expansions for second order elliptic problems with rapidly oscillatory coefficients.     

Vector sampling expansions in shift invariant subspaces

Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) sampling scheme which is motivated by applications in multi-channel deconvolution and multi-source separation has been investigated in many aspects. Common for most of results on MIMO systems is that the input signals are supposed to be band-limited. In this paper, we study vector sampling expansions on general finitely generated shift-invariant subspaces. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a vector sampling theorem to hold are given. We also give several examples to illustrate the main result.     

Hyperasymptotic evaluation of the Pearcey integral via Hadamard expansions

We describe high-precision computations of the Pearcey integral Pe(x,y) for real x and y by means of Hadamard expansions. Numerical results for (x,y) situated in different regions of the x,y-plane are given to illustrate the levels of precision that can be achieved. Particular emphasis is given to computation in the neighbourhood of the two cusped curves associated with Pe(x,y) across which there is either a coalescence of saddles or a Stokes phenomenon.     

Free Vibration Analysis of Rotating Nonlinearly Elastic Structures with Symmetry: An Efficient Group-Equivariance Approach

A study is made of the dynamics of oscillating systems with a slowly varying parameter. A slowly varying forcing periodically crosses a critical value corresponding to a pitchfork bifurcation. The instantaneous phase portrait exhibits a centre when the forcing does not exceed the critical value, and a saddle and two centres with an associated double homoclinic loop separatrix beyond this value. The aim of this study is to construct a Poincaré map in order to describe the dynamics of the system as it repeatedly crosses the bifurcation point. For that purpose averaging methods and asymptotic matching techniques connecting local solutions are applied. Given the initial state and the values of the parameters the properties of the Poincaré map can be studied. Both sensitive dependence on initial conditions and (quasi) periodicity are observed. Moreover, Lyapunov exponents are computed. The asymptotic expressions for the Poincaré map are compared with numerical solutions of the full system that includes small damping.
