A new frame based de-noising procedure for fast oscillating signals

In recent years there has been a growing interest in frame based de-noising procedures. The advantage of frames with respect to classical orthonor- mal bases (e.g. wavelet, Fourier, polynomial) is that they can furnish an efficient representation of a more broad class of signals. For example, signals which have fast oscillating behavior as sonar, radar, EEG, stock market, audio and speech are much more well represented by a frame (with similar oscillating characteristic) than by a classical wavelet basis, although the frame representation for such kind of signals can be not properly sparse.

On the hydrostatic limit of stably stratified fluids with isopycnal diffusivity.

This article is concerned with the rigorous justification of the hydrostatic limit for continuously stratified incompressible fluids under the influence of gravity. The main peculiarity of this work with respect to previous studies is that no (regularizing) viscosity contribution is added to the fluid-dynamics equations and only diffusivity effects are included.

Advanced network connectivity features and zonal requirements in Covering Location problems

Real-world facility planning problems often require to tackle simultaneously network connectivity and zonal requirements, in order to guarantee an equitable provision of services and an efficient flow of goods, people and information among the facilities. Nonetheless, such challenges have not been addressed jointly so far. In this paper we explore the introduction of advanced network connectivity features and spatial-related requirements within Covering Location Problems.

Quantitative Multidimensional Central Limit Theorems for Means of the Dirichlet-Ferguson Measure

The Dirichlet-Ferguson measure is a cornerstone in nonparametric Bayesian statistics and the study of distributional properties of expectations with respect to such measure is an important line of research. In this paper we provide explicit upper bounds for the d2, the d3 and the convex distance between vectors whose components are means of the Dirichlet-Ferguson measure and a Gaussian random vector.

An in-vivo validation of ESI methods with focal sources

Electrophysiological source imaging (ESI) aims at reconstructing the precise origin of brain activity from measurements of the electric field on the scalp. Across laboratories/research centers/hospitals, ESI is performed with different methods, partly due to the ill-posedness of the underlying mathematical problem. However, it is difficult to find systematic comparisons involving a wide variety of methods. Further, existing comparisons rarely take into account the variability of the results with respect to the input parameters.

Fluctuations and precise deviations of cumulative INAR time series

In this paper, we study fluctuations and precise deviations of cumulative INAR time series, both in a non-stationary and in a stationary regime. The theoretical results are based on the recent mod- convergence theory as presented in Féray et al., 2016. We apply our findings to the construction of approximate confidence intervals for model parameters and to quantile calculation in a risk management context.

Tuning Minimum-Norm regularization parameters for optimal MEG connectivity estimation

The accurate characterization of cortical functional connectivity from Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data remains a challenging problem due to the subjective nature of the analysis, which requires several decisions at each step of the analysis pipeline, such as the choice of a source estimation algorithm, a connectivity metric and a cortical parcellation, to name but a few. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of selecting the regularization parameter in minimum norm estimates with caution, as variations in its value can result in significant differences in connectivity estimates.

The impact of ROI extraction method for MEG connectivity estimation: Practical recommendations for the study of resting state data.

Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (M/EEG) seed-based connectivity analysis typically requires regions of interest (ROI)-based extraction of measures. M/EEG ROI-derived source activity can be treated in different ways. For instance, it is possible to average each ROI's time series prior to calculating connectivity measures. Alternatively one can compute connectivity maps for each element of the ROI, prior to dimensionality reduction to obtain a single map. The impact of these different strategies on connectivity estimation is still unclear.

Towards a digital twin for personalized diabetes prevention: the PRAESIIDIUM project

This contribution outlines current research aimed at developing models for personalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) prevention in the framework of the European project PRAESIIDIUM (Physics Informed Machine Learn-ing-Based Prediction and Reversion of Impaired Fasting Glucose Management) aimed at building a digital twin for preventing T2D in patients at risk.

An overview of some mathematical techniques and problems linking 3D vision to 3D printing

Computer Vision and 3D printing have rapidly evolved in the last 10 years but interactions among them have been very limited so far, despite the fact that they share several mathematical techniques. We try to fill the gap presenting an overview of some techniques for Shape-from-Shading problems as well as for 3D printing with an emphasis on the approaches based on nonlinear partial differential equations and optimization. We also sketch possible couplings to complete the process of object manufacturing starting from one or more images of the object and ending with its final 3D print.
