Integration of InSAR Analysis and Numerical Modeling for the Assessment of Ground Subsidence in the City of Lisbon, Portugal

In this work, we exploit the integration of an advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry technique and the application of the finite-element method for the assessment and the interpretation of a localized subsidence phenomenon that took place within a specific area of Lisbon, Portugal…

Interpolation-based, minimum-time piecewise constant control of linear continuous-time SISO systems

We present a novel approach to the system inversion problem for linear, scalar (i.e. single-input, single-output, or SISO) plants. The problem is formulated as a constrained optimization program, whose objective function is the transition time between the initial and the final values of the system'…

Compressed sensing with preconditioning for sparse recovery with subsampled matrices of Slepian prolate functions

Efficient recovery of smooth functions which are s-sparse with respect to the basis of so-called prolate spheroidal wave functions from a small number of random sampling points is considered. The main ingredient in the design of both the algorithms we propose here consists in establishing a uniform…

Multitemporal Backscattering Logistic Analysis for Intertidal Bathymetry

A new methodology for the mapping of intertidal terrain morphology is presented. It is based on the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and the temporal correlation between the SAR backscatter intensity and the water level on the intertidal zone. The proposed methodology does not require…

Solving linear systems with a Levinson-like solver

In this paper we will present a general framework for solving linear systems of equations. The solver is based on the Levinson-idea for solving Toeplitz systems of equations. We will consider a general class of matrices, defined as the class of simple $ (p_1,p_2)$-Levinson conform matrices. This…

Filtered integration rules for finite weighted Hilbert transforms

A product quadrature rule, based on the filtered de la Vallée Poussin polynomial approximation, is proposed for evaluating the finite weighted Hilbert transform in [-1,1]. Convergence results are stated in weighted uniform norm for functions belonging to suitable Besov type subspaces. Several…

On the establishment of thermal diffusion in binary Lennard-Jones liquids

The establishment of thermal diffusion in an Ar-Kr Lennard-Jones mixture is investigated via dynamical non equilibrium molecular dynamics [G. Ciccotti, G. Jacucci, Phys. Rev. Lett. 35, 789 (1975)]. We observe, in particular, the evolution of the density and temperature fields of the system…

Decay Regions Segmentation from Color Images of Ancient Monuments Using Fast Marching Method

This work faces the problem of detecting decay zones from color images of stone materials. In Cultural Heritage, the extraction of degradation regions from images of ancient monuments represents an important step forward in studying and analyzing the state of preservation of historical buildings.…
