Towards an Algebra of Geographical Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a proposal for an algebra of geographical fields. Geographical fields are the mathematical expression of continuously-varying spatial data, such as thematic maps, digital terrain models and satellite imagery. The paper outlines an initial proposal for an algebra of geographical fields that enables the definition of operations based on the properties of geographical data, independent of their graphical representation. This proposal is being used as a data manipulation language in SPRING, a geographical information system developed by INPE.

Classification of Lie Subalgebras up to an Inner Automorphism
In this paper, a useful classification of all Lie subalgebras of a given Lie algebraup to an inner automorphism is presented. This method can be regarded as animportant connection between differential geometry and algebra and has many applications in different fields of mathematics. After main results, we have applied this procedure for classifying the Lie subalgebras of some examples of Lie al...
متن کاملClassical wavelet systems over finite fields
This article presents an analytic approach to study admissibility conditions related to classical full wavelet systems over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and theoretical linear algebra. It is shown that for a large class of non-zero window signals (wavelets), the generated classical full wavelet systems constitute a frame whose canonical dual are classical full ...
متن کاملClassical Wavelet Transforms over Finite Fields
This article introduces a systematic study for computational aspects of classical wavelet transforms over finite fields using tools from computational harmonic analysis and also theoretical linear algebra. We present a concrete formulation for the Frobenius norm of the classical wavelet transforms over finite fields. It is shown that each vector defined over a finite field can be represented as...
متن کاملThe Lie Algebra of Smooth Sections of a T-bundle
In this article, we generalize the concept of the Lie algebra of vector fields to the set of smooth sections of a T-bundle which is by definition a canonical generalization of the concept of a tangent bundle. We define a Lie bracket multiplication on this set so that it becomes a Lie algebra. In the particular case of tangent bundles this Lie algebra coincides with the Lie algebra of vector fie...
متن کاملModelling three-dimensional geoscientific fields with the Voronoi diagram and its dual
Fields as found in the geosciences have properties that are not usually found in other disciplines: the phenomena studied are often three-dimensional, they tend to change continuously over time, and the collection of samples to study the phenomena is problematic, which often results in highly anisotropic distributions of samples. In the GIS community, raster structures (voxels or octrees) are t...
