Schur Forms and Normal-Nilpotent Decompositions

Real and complex Schur forms have been receiving increasing attention from the fluid mechanics community recently,especially related to vortices and turbulence.Several decompositions of the velocity gradient tensor,such as the triple decomposition of motion(TDM)and normal-nilpotent decomposition(NND),have been proposed to analyze the local motions of fluid elements.However,due to the existence of different types and non-uniqueness of Schur forms,as well as various possible definitions of NNDs,confusion has spread widely and is harming the research.This work aims to clean up this confusion.To this end,the complex and real Schur forms are derived constructively from the very basics,with special consideration for their non-uniqueness.Conditions of uniqueness are proposed.After a general discussion of normality and nilpotency,a complex NND and several real NNDs as well as normal-nonnormal decompositions are constructed,with a brief comparison of complex and real decompositions.Based on that,several confusing points are clarified,such as the distinction between NND and TDM,and the intrinsic gap between complex and real NNDs.Besides,the author proposes to extend the real block Schur form and its corresponding NNDs for the complex eigenvalue case to the real eigenvalue case.But their justification is left to further investigations.

Decompositions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation and their symmetry reductions

Starting with a decomposition conjecture,we carefully explain the basic decompositions for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili(KP)equation as well as the necessary calculation procedures,and it is shown that the KP equation allows the Burgers-STO(BSTO)decomposition,two types of reducible coupled BSTO decompositions and the BSTO-KdV decomposition.Furthermore,we concentrate ourselves on pointing out the main idea and result of Bäcklund transformation of the KP equation based on a special superposition principle in the particular context of the BSTO decompositions.Using the framework of standard Lie point symmetry theory,these decompositions are studied and the problem of computing the corresponding symmetry constraints is treated.

ATOMIC DECOATOMIC DECOMPOSITIONS AND DUALS OF WEAK HARDY SPACES OF B-VALUED MARTINGALES

In this article, several weak Hardy spaces of Banach-space-valued martingales are introduced, some atomic decomposition theorems for them are established and their duals are investigated. The results closely depend on the geometrical properties of the Banach space in which the martingales take values.

Here the results are connected closely with the p-uniform smoothness and q-uniform convexity of Banach spaces which the martingales take values in.

Generic Regular Decompositions for Parametric Polynomial Systems

This paper presents a generalization of the authors＇ earlier work. In this paper, the two concepts, generic regular decomposition （GRD） and regular-decomposition-unstable （RDU） variety introduced in the authors＇ previous work for generic zero-dimensional systems, are extended to the case where the parametric systems are not necessarily zero-dimensional. An algorithm is provided to compute GRDs and the associated RDU varieties of parametric systems simultaneously on the basis of the algorithm for generic zero-dimensional systems proposed in the authors＇ previous work. Then the solutions of any parametric system can be represented by the solutions of finitely many regular systems and the decomposition is stable at any parameter value in the complement of the associated RDU variety of the parameter space. The related definitions and the results presented in the authors＇ previous work are also generalized and a further discussion on RDU varieties is given from an experimental point of view. The new algorithm has been implemented on the basis of DISCOVERER with Maple 16 and experimented with a number of benchmarks from the literature.

Chirplet Signal and Empirical Mode Decompositions of Ultrasonic Signals for Echo Detection and Estimation

In this study, the performance of chirplet signal decomposition (CSD) and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) coupled with Hilbert spectrum have been evaluated and compared for ultrasonic imaging applications. Numerical and experimental results indicate that both the EMD and CSD are able to decompose sparsely distributed chirplets from noise. In case of signals consisting of multiple interfering chirplets, the CSD algorithm, based on successive search for estimating optimal chirplet parameters, outperforms the EMD algorithm which estimates a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). In particular, we have utilized the EMD as a signal conditioning method for Hilbert time-frequency representation in order to estimate the arrival time and center frequency of chirplets in order to quantify the ultrasonic signals. Experimental results clearly exhibit that the combined EMD and CSD is an effective processing tools to analyze ultrasonic signals for target detection and pattern recognition.

Generalized Fourth-Order Decompositions of Imaginary Time Path Integral:Implications of the Harmonic Oscillator

The imaginary time path integral formalism offers a powerful numerical tool for simulating thermodynamic properties of realistic systems.We show that,when second-order and fourth-order decompositions are employed,they share a remarkable unified analytic form for the partition function of the harmonic oscillator.We are then able to obtain the expression of the thermodynamic property and the leading error terms as well.In order to obtain reasonably optimal values of the free parameters in the generalized symmetric fourth-order decomposition scheme,we eliminate the leading error terms to achieve the accuracy of desired order for the thermodynamic property of the harmonic system.Such a strategy leads to an efficient fourth-order decomposition that produces thirdorder accurate thermodynamic properties for general systems.

Comparison of different spectral decompositions for non-marine deep water sandstone reservoir prediction in the Xingma area

It is difficult to identify and predict non-marine deep water sandstone reservoir facies and thickness,using routine seismic analyses in the Xingma area of the western Liaohe sag,due to low dominant frequencies,low signal-to-noise ratios,rapid lateral changes and high frequencies of layered inter-bedding.Targeting this problem,four types of frequency spectral decomposition techniques were tested for reservoir prediction.Among these,the non-orthogonal Gabor-Morlet wavelet frequency decomposition method proved to be the best,was implemented directly in our frequency analysis and proved to be adaptable to non-stationary signals as well.The method can overcome the limitations of regular spectral decomposition techniques and highlights local features of reservoir signals.The results are found to be in good agreement with well data.Using this method and a 3-D visualization technology, the distribution of non-marine deep water sandstone reservoirs can be precisely predicted.

On Orthogonal Decompositions of "Pull Back" Hermitian Holomorphic Vector Bundles

Let f ： Ω→Gr（n,H） be a holomorphic curve, where Ω is a bounded open simple connected domain on the complex plane C and Gr（n,H） the Grassmannian manifold. Denote by Ef the ＂pull back＂ bundle induced by f. We show the uniqueness of the orthogonal decomposition for those complex bundles. As a direct application, we give a complete description of the HIR decomposition of a Cowen- Douglas operator T ∈ Bn（Ω）. Moreover, we compute the maximal self-adjoint subalgebra of A＇（Ef） and A＇（T） respectively. Finally, we fix the masa of A＇（Ef） and .A＇ （T） which depends on the HIR decomposition of Ef or T respectively.

Discrete wavelet and modified PCA decompositions for postural stability analysis in biometric applications

The aim of this study is to compare the Discrete wavelet decomposition and the modified Principal Analysis Component (PCA) decomposition to analyze the stabilogram for the purpose to provide a new insight about human postural stability. Discrete wavelet analysis is used to decompose the stabilogram into several timescale components (i.e. detail wavelet coefficients and approximation wavelet coefficients). Whereas, the modified PCA decomposition is applied to decompose the stabilogram into three components, namely: trend, rambling and trembling. Based on the modified PCA analysis, the trace of analytic trembling and rambling in the complex plan highlights a unique rotation center. The same property is found when considering the detail wavelet coefficients. Based on this property, the area of the circle in which 95% of the trace’s data points are located, is extracted to provide important information about the postural equilibrium status of healthy subjects (average age 31 ± 11 years). Based on experimental results, this parameter seems to be a valuable parameter in order to highlight the effect of visual entries, stabilogram direction, gender and age on the postural stability. Obtained results show also that wavelets and the modified PCA decomposition can discriminate the subjects by gender which is particularly interesting in biometric applications and human stability simulation. Moreover, both techniques highlight the fact that male are less stable than female and the fact that there is no correlation between human stability and his age (under 60).
