چکیده

We compute the asymptotic determinant of the discrete Laplacian on a simply-connected rectilinear region in R2. Specifically, for each > 0 let H be the subgraph of Z2 whose vertices lie in a fixed rectilinear polygon U . Let N (H ) denote the number of vertices of H and B(H ) the number of vertices on the boundary (the outer face). Then the log of the determinant of the Laplacian on H has the following asymptotic expansion in : 4G π N (H )+ log( √ 2 − 1) 2 B(H )− π 48 r2( ,U )+ o(1) where G is Catalan’s constant and r2( ,U ), which is O(log 1 ), is the Dirichlet energy of a certain canonical harmonic function h on U . As an application of this result, we prove that the growth exponent of the loop-erased random walk in Z2 is 5/4.

Nonexistence and existence results for a 2$n$th-order $p$-Laplacian discrete Neumann boundary value problem

This paper is concerned with a 2nth-order p-Laplacian difference equation. By using the critical point method, we establish various sets of sufficient conditions for the nonexistence and existence of solutions for Neumann boundary value problem and give some new results. Results obtained successfully generalize and complement the existing ones.

Inverse nodal problem for p-Laplacian with two potential functions

In this study, inverse nodal problem is solved for the p-Laplacian operator with two potential functions. We present some asymptotic formulas which have been proved in [17,18] for the eigenvalues, nodal points and nodal lengths, provided that a potential function is unknown. Then, using the nodal points we reconstruct the potential function and its derivatives. We also introduce a solution of i...

Multi-Focus Image Fusion in DCT Domain using Variance and Energy of Laplacian and Correlation Coefficient for Visual Sensor Networks

The purpose of multi-focus image fusion is gathering the essential information and the focused parts from the input multi-focus images into a single image. These multi-focus images are captured with different depths of focus of cameras. A lot of multi-focus image fusion techniques have been introduced using considering the focus measurement in the spatial domain. However, the multi-focus image ...

Optimum decoder for multiplicative spread spectrum image watermarking with Laplacian modeling

This paper investigates the multiplicative spread spectrum watermarking method for the image. The information bit is spreaded into middle-frequency Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients of each block of an image using a generated pseudo-random sequence. Unlike the conventional signal modeling, we suppose that both signal and noise are distributed with Laplacian distribution, because the ...
