Skeletons of 3D Surfaces Based on the Laplace-Beltrami Operator Eigenfunctions

In this work we describe the algorithms to construct the skeletons, simplified 1D representations for a 3D surface depicted by a mesh of points, given the respective eigenfunctions of the Discrete Laplace-Beltrami Operator (LBO). These functions are isometry invariant, so they are independent of the object’s representation including parameterization, spatial position and orientation. Several works have shown that these eigenfunctions provide topological and geometrical information of the surfaces of interest [1] [2]. We propose to make use of that information for the construction of a set of skeletons, associated to each eigenfunction, which can be used as a fingerprint for the surface of interest. The main goal is to develop a classification system based on these skeletons, instead of the surfaces, for the analysis of medical images, for instance.

Structure of Hamiltonian Matrix and the Shape of Eigenfunctions：Nuclear Octupole Deformation Model

The structure of a Hamiltonian matrix for a quantum chaotic system, the nuclear octupole deformation model, has been discussed in detail. The distribution of the eigenfunctions of this system expanded by the eigenstates of a quantum integrable system is studied with the help of generalized Brillouin?Wigner perturbation theory. The results show that a significant randomness in this distribution can be observed when its classical counterpart is under the strong chaotic condition. The averaged shape of the eigenfunctions fits with the Gaussian distribution only when the effects of the symmetry have been removed.

Slip flow in an annular sector duct using radial eigenfunctions

The fully developed slip flow in an annular sector duct is solved by expansions of eigenfunctions in the radial direction and boundary collocation on the straight sides. The method is efficient and accurate. The flow field for slip flow differs much from that of no-slip flow. The Poiseuille number increases with increased inner radius, opening angle, and decreases with slip.

Asymptotic Approximation of the Eigenvalues and the Eigenfunctions for the Orr-Sommerfeld Equation on Infinite Intervals

Asymptotic eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Orr-Sommerfeld equation in two-dimensional and three-dimensional incompressible flows on an infinite domain and on a semi-infinite domain are obtained. Two configurations are considered, one in which a short-wave limit approximation is used, and another in which a long-wave limit approximation is used. In the short-wave limit, Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) methods are utilized to estimate the eigenvalues, and the eigenfunctions are approximated in terms of Green’s functions. The procedure consists of transforming the Orr-Sommerfeld equation into a system of two second order ordinary differential equations for which the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions can be approximated. In the long-wave limit approximation, solutions are expressed in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. Our procedure works regardless of the values of the Reynolds number.

THE COMPLETENESS OF EIGENFUNCTIONS OF PERTURBATION CONNECTED WITH STURM-LIOUVILLE OPERATORS

In this paper, non-self-adjoint Sturm-Liuville operators in Weyl＇s limit-circle case are studied. We first determine all the non-self-adjoint boundary conditions yielding dissipative operators for each allowed Sturm-Liouville differential expression. Then, using the characteristic determinant, we prove the completeness of the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions for these dissipative operators.

Fourier coefficients of restrictions of eigenfunctions

Let{e_(j)}be an orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenfunctions of a compact Riemannian manifold(M,g).Let H■M be a submanifold and{ψ_(k)}be an orthonormal basis of Laplace eigenfunctions of H with the induced metric.We obtain joint asymptotics for the Fourier coefficients<γHe_(j),ψ_(k)>L^(2)(H)=∫He_(j),ψ_(k)dV_(H)of restrictionsγHe_(j)of e_(j)to H.In particular,we obtain asymptotics for the sums of the norm-squares of the Fourier coefficients over the joint spectrum{(μ_(k),λ_(j))}^(∞)_(j,k-0)of the(square roots of the)Laplacian△_(M)on M and the Laplacian△_(H)on H in a family of suitably‘thick'regions in R^(2).Thick regions include(1)the truncated coneμ_(k)/λ_(j)∈[a,b]■(0,1)andλ_(j)≤λ,and(2)the slowly thickening strip|μ_(k)-cλ_(j)|≤w(λ)andλ_(j)≤λ,where w(λ)is monotonic and 1■w(λ)≤λ^(1/2).Key tools for obtaining the asymptotics include the composition calculus of Fourier integral operators and a new multidimensional Tauberian theorem.

STABILITY EIGENFUNCTIONS OF A BOUNDARY-LAYER FLOW OVER VISCOELASTIC COMPLIANT WALL

The eigenfunctions in a stability problem of boundary-layer flow over a viscoelastic compliant wall were studied. Two categories of modes, TSI and CIFI, exist in the eigenvalue solutions. The eigenfunctions of flow-based TSI were investigated together with those in the flow over rigid wall, whereas the eigenfunctions of wall-based CIFI were compared with the wall functions in an individual wall without fluid constraint. The physical characteristics of the eigenmodes were discussed based on their eigenfunctions.

On Eigenvalue Intervals and Eigenfunctions of Nonresonance Singular Dirichlet Boundary Value Problems

In this paper we shall consider the nonresonance Dirichlet boundary value problemwhere λ>0 is a parameter, p>0 is a constant. Intervals of A are determined to ensure the existence of a nonnegative solution of the boundary value problem. For λ=1, we shall also offer criteria for the existence of eigenfunctions. The main results include and improve on those of [2,4,6,8].

A Renormalized-Hamiltonian-Flow Approach to Eigenenergies and Eigenfunctions

We introduce a decimation scheme of constructing renormalized Hamiltonian flows,which is useful in the study of properties of energy eigenfunctions,such as localization,as well as in approximate calculation of eigenenergies.The method is based on a generalized Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory.Each flow is specific for a given energy and,at each step of the flow,a finite subspace of the Hilbert space is decimated in order to obtain a renormalized Hamiltonian for the next step.Eigenenergies of the original Hamiltonian appear as unstable fixed points of renormalized flows.Numerical illustration of the method is given in the Wigner-band random-matrix model.

Exact Eigenfunctions of N-body System with Quadratic Pair Potential

We obtain the energy spectrum and all the corresponding eigenfunctions of N-body Bose and Fermi systems with Quadratic Pair Potentials in one dimension. The original first excited state or energy level is disappeared in one dimension, which results from the operation of symmetry or antisymmetry of identical particles. In two and higher dimensions, we give the energy spectrum and the analytical ground state wave [unctions and the degree of degeneracy. By comparison, we refine A vinash Khare＇s results by making some items in his article precisely.

Review of Computational Approaches to Optimization Problems in Inhomogeneous Rods and Plates

In this paper,we review computational approaches to optimization problems of inhomogeneous rods and plates.We consider both the optimization of eigenvalues and the localization of eigenfunctions.These problems are motivated by physical problems including the determination of the extremum of the fundamental vibration frequency and the localization of the vibration displacement.We demonstrate how an iterative rearrangement approach and a gradient descent approach with projection can successfully solve these optimization problems under different boundary conditions with different densities given.

Composite Hermite and Anti-Hermite Polynomials

The Weber-Hermite differential equation, obtained as the dimensionless form of the stationary Schroedinger equation for a linear harmonic oscillator in quantum mechanics, has been expressed in a generalized form through introduction of a constant conjugation parameter according to the transformation , where the conjugation parameter is set to unity () at the end of the evaluations. Factorization in normal order form yields composite eigenfunctions, Hermite polynomials and corresponding positive eigenvalues, while factorization in the anti-normal order form yields the partner composite anti-eigenfunctions, anti-Hermite polynomials and negative eigenvalues. The two sets of solutions are related by an reversal conjugation rule . Setting provides the standard Hermite polynomials and their partner anti-Hermite polynomials. The anti-Hermite polynomials satisfy a new differential equation, which is interpreted as the conjugate of the standard Hermite differential equation.

STURM-LIOUVILLE PROBLEMS WITH EIGENDEPENDENT BOUNDARY AND TRANSMISSIONS CONDITIONS

The purpose of this paper is to extend some fundamental spectral properties of regular Sturm-Liouville problems to special kind discontinuous boundary value problem, which consist of a Sturm-Liouville equation with piecewise continuous potential together with eigenvalue parameter on the boundary and transmission conditions. The authors suggest their own approach for finding asymptotic approximations formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of such discontinuous problems.

Research on the Problem of Sample Support in STAP

In the airborne radar space-time adaptive processing (STAP), the interference covariance matrix must be estimated from the IID samples which are always limited in practice. Aimed at this problem, this paper studies the combination of the forward-backward averaging (FB), diagonal loading (DL) and the reduced-rank processing to reduce the required sample number as much as possible. Through analysis and simulations, it is demonstrated that by using proper reduced-rank processing, combined with FB and DL, the required sample number can be largely reduced to even 3-5 samples.

THE SASA-SATSUMA EQUATION ON A NON-ZERO BACKGROUND: THE INVERSE SCATTERING TRANSFORM AND MULTI-SOLITON SOLUTIONS

We concentrate on the inverse scattering transformation for the Sasa-Satsuma equation with 3×3 matrix spectrum problem and a nonzero boundary condition. To circumvent the multi-value of eigenvalues, we introduce a suitable two-sheet Riemann surface to map the original spectral parameter k into a single-valued parameter z. The analyticity of the Jost eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients of the Lax pair for the Sasa-Satsuma equation are analyzed in detail. According to the analyticity of the eigenfunctions and the scattering coefficients, the z-complex plane is divided into four analytic regions of D_(j) : j = 1, 2, 3, 4. Since the second column of Jost eigenfunctions is analytic in D_(j), but in the upper-half or lowerhalf plane, we introduce certain auxiliary eigenfunctions which are necessary for deriving the analytic eigenfunctions in Dj. We find that the eigenfunctions, the scattering coefficients and the auxiliary eigenfunctions all possess three kinds of symmetries;these characterize the distribution of the discrete spectrum. The asymptotic behaviors of eigenfunctions, auxiliary eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients are also systematically derived. Then a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem with four kinds of jump conditions associated with the problem of nonzero asymptotic boundary conditions is established, from this N-soliton solutions are obtained via the corresponding reconstruction formulae. The reflectionless soliton solutions are explicitly given. As an application of the N-soliton formula, we present three kinds of single-soliton solutions according to the distribution of discrete spectrum.

Bound State Solutions of Schrodinger Equation for Generalized Morse Potential with Position-Dependent Mass

The effective mass one-dimensional Schroedinger equation for the generalized Morse potential is solved by using Nikiforov-Uvarov method. Energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are computed analytically. The results are also reduced to the constant mass case. Energy eigenvalues are computed numerically for some diatomic molecules. They are in agreement with the ones obtained before.

MODAL PARAMETERS EXTRACTION WITH CROSS CORRELATION FUNCTION AND CROSS POWER SPECTRUM UNDER UNKNOWN EXCITATION

In most of real operational conditions only response data are measurable while the actual excitations are unknown, so modal parameter must be extracted only from responses. This paper gives a theoretical formulation for the cross-correlation functions and cross-power spectra between the outputs under the assumption of white-noise excitation. It widens the field of modal analysis under ambient excitation because many classical methods by impulse response functions or frequency response functions can be used easily for modal analysis under unknown excitation. The Polyreference Complex Exponential method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm using cross-correlation functions in time domain and Orthogonal Polynomial method using cross-power spectra in frequency domain are applied to a steel frame to extract modal parameters under operational conditions. The modal properties of the steel frame from these three methods are compared with those from frequency response functions analysis. The results show that the modal analysis method using cross-correlation functions or cross-power spectra presented in this paper can extract modal parameters efficiently under unknown excitation.
