Flows Generating Nonlinear Eigenfunctions

چکیده
Nonlinear variational methods have become very powerful tools for many image processing tasks. Recently a new line of research has emerged, dealing with nonlinear eigenfunctions induced by convex functionals. This has provided new insights and better theoretical understanding of convex regularization and introduced new processing methods. However, the theory of nonlinear eigenvalue problems is still at its infancy. We present a new flow that can generate nonlinear eigenfunctions of the form T (u) = λu, where T (u) is a nonlinear operator and λ ∈ R is the eigenvalue. We develop the theory where T (u) is a subgradient element of a regularizing one-homogeneous functional, such as total-variation (TV) or total-generalized-variation (TGV). We introduce two flows: a forward flow and an inverse flow; for which the steady state solution is a nonlinear eigenfunction. The forward flow monotonically smooths the solution (with respect to the regularizer) and simultaneously increases the L norm. The inverse flow has the opposite characteristics. For both flows, the steady state depends on the initial condition, thus different initial conditions yield different eigenfunctions. This enables a deeper investigation into the space of nonlinear eigenfunctions, allowing to produce numerically diverse examples, which may be unknown yet. In addition we suggest an indicator to measure the affinity of a function to an eigenfunction and relate it to pseudo-eigenfunctions in the linear case.

Numerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...
متن کاملRelaxation Enhancement by Time-periodic Flows
We study enhancement of diffusive mixing by fast incompressible time-periodic flows. The class of relaxation-enhancing flows that are especially efficient in speeding up mixing has been introduced in [2]. The relaxation-enhancing property of a flow has been shown to be intimately related to the properties of the dynamical system it generates. In particular, time-independent flows u such that th...
متن کامل2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
