Brownian motion with killing and reflection and the “hot spots” problem
We investigate the “hot spots” property for the survival time probability of Brownian motion with killing and reflection in planar convex domains whose boundary consists of two curves, one of which is an arc of a circle, intersecting at acute angles. This leads to the “hot spots” property for the mixed Dirichlet–Neumann eigenvalue problem in the domain with Neumann conditions on one of the curv...
متن کاملFIBER BROWNIAN MOTION AND THE “ HOT SPOTS ” PROBLEM Richard
We show that in some planar domains both extrema of the second Neumann eigenfunction lie strictly inside the domain. The main technical innovation is the use of “fiber Brownian motion,” a process which switches between two-dimensional and one-dimensional evolution.
متن کاملOptimization of an ultra-high-resolution rectangular pixelated parallel-hole collimator with a CZT pixelated semiconductor detector for HiRe-SPECT system
Introduction: In nuclear medicine, the use of a pixelated semiconductor detector such as CZT is an of growing interest for introducing new devices. Especially, the spatial resolution can be improved by using a pixelated parallel-hole collimator with equal holes and pixel sizes based on the pixelated detector. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of pixelated and ...
متن کاملThe “hot Spots” Conjecture for Nearly Circular Planar Convex Domains
We prove the “hot spots” conjecture of J. Rauch in the case that the domain Ω is a planar convex domain satisfying diam(Ω)2/|Ω| < 1.378. Specifically, we show that an eigenfunction corresponding to the lowest nonzero eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian on Ω attains its maximum (minimum) at points on ∂Ω. When Ω is a disk, diam(Ω)2/|Ω| t 1.273. Hence, the above condition indicates that Ω is a nea...
متن کاملWeak Convergence of Reflecting Brownian Motions
1. Introduction. We will show that if a sequence of domains D k increases to a domain D then the reflected Brownian motions in D k 's converge to the reflected Brownian motion in D, under mild technical assumptions. Our theorem follows easily from known results and is perhaps known as a " folk law " among the specialists but it does not seem to be recorded anywhere in an explicit form. The purp...
