Lattice Boltzmann accelerated direct simulation Monte Carlo for dilute gas flow simulations

Hybrid particle-continuum computational frameworks permit the simulation of gas flows by locally adjusting the resolution to the degree of non-equilibrium displayed by the flow in different regions of space and time. In this work, we present a new scheme that couples the direct simulation Monte…

The impact of radiometric noise on the performance of the Radiation Explorer in the Far Infrared (REFIR)

REFIR is a Fourier Transform Spectrometer designed to measure the upwelling IR Earth's emission from space in the spectral range 100 to 1000 cm -1 with an unapodized spectral resolution of about 0.5 cm -1. One of the main scientific objectives of REFIR is to monitor the far IR planetary emission…

Corrosion detection in conducting boundaries II. Linearization, stability and discretization.

Nondestructive evaluation of hidden surface damage by means of stationary thermographic methods requires the construction of approximated solutions of a boundary identification problem for an elliptic equation. In this paper, we describe and test a regularized reconstruction algorithm based on the…

A technical characterization of APTs by leveraging public resources

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have rocketed over the last years. Unfortunately, their technical characterization is incomplete--it is still unclear if they are advanced usages of regular malware or a different form of malware. This is key to develop an effective cyberdefense. To address this…

Relative-observer definition of the Simon tensor

The definition of the Simon tensor, originally given only in Kerr spacetime and associated with the static family of observers, is generalized to any spacetime and to any possible observer family. Such generalization is obtained by a standard '3 + 1' splitting of the Bianchi identities, which are…

Point processes with Papangelou conditional intensity: from the Skorohod integral to the Dirichlet form

The numerical spectrum of a one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with two competing periodic potentials

We are concerned with the numerical study of a simple one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator $-\frac 1 2 \Dxx + \alpha q(x)$ with $\alpha \in \Re$, $q(x)=\cos(x)+\eps \cos(kx)$, $\eps >0$ and $k$ being irrational. This governs the quantum wave function of an independent electron within a…

Bayesian estimation of relaxation times T1 in MR images of irradiated Fricke-agarose gels

The authors present a novel method for processing T1-weighted images acquired with Inversion-Recovery (IR) sequence. The method, developed within the Bayesian framework, takes into account a priori knowledge about the spatial regularity of the parameters to be estimated. Inference is drawn by means…

A decomposition of the dual space of some Banach Function Spaces

We give a decomposition for the dual space of some Banach Function Spaces as the Zygmund space EXP_alpha of the exponential integrable functions, the Marcinkiewicz spaceL^p,infty, and the Grand Lebesgue Space L^p),Theta

A stable numerical method for Volterra integral equations with discontinuous kernel

Numericalmethods for Volterra integral equations with discontinuous kernel need to be tuned to their peculiar form. Here we propose a version of the trapezoidal direct quadrature method adapted to such a type of equations. In order to delineate its stability properties, we first investigate about…
