Recent studies using artificial language learning have argued that the cross-linguistic frequency of harmonic word order patterns–in which heads are ordered consistently before or after dependents across syntactic categories–reflects a cognitive bias (Culbertson, Smolensky, & Legendre, 2012; Culbertson & Newport, 2015a). These studies suggest that English speaking adults and children favor harm...

A new fictitious domain model for topology optimization of time-harmonic problems based on a wave to diffusion equation transition is proposed. By employing negative values appropriate material coefficients, tuneable exponential decay the field amplitude in domains can be obtained, whereas conventional finite always present. To demonstrate applicability model, we consider two problems; volume m...

A multi-mode harmonic transform coding (MMHTC) for speech and music signals is proposed. Its structure is organized as a linear prediction model with an input of harmonic and transform-based excitation. The proposed coder also utilizes harmonic prediction and an improved quantizer of excitation signal. To efficiently quantize the excitation of music signals, the modulated lapped transform (MLT)...

where τ( f ) is the tension field of f and dvg is the volume form of M. It is clear that E2( f |Ω) = 0 on any compact domain if and only if f is a harmonic map. Thus E2 provides a measure for the extent to which f fails to be harmonic. If f is a critical point of (1.1) over every compact domain, then f is called a biharmonic map or 2-harmonic maps. Jiang [10] proved that f is biharmonic if and ...

A function f = u + iv defined in the domain D ⊂ C is harmonic in D if u, v are real harmonic. Such functions can be represented as f = h+ ḡ where h, g are analytic in D. In this paper the class of harmonic functions constructed by the Hadamard product in the unit disk, and properties of some of its subclasses are examined.

We consider the overdetermined boundary value problem for the 4-harmonic operator, Δ4 = Δ(Δ3) , and show that if the solution of the problem exists, then the domain must be an open N -ball (N 2) . As a consequence of overdetermined problems mean value results are obtained for harmonic, biharmonic, triharmonic and 4-harmonic functions.

Programmable metasurfaces enable real-time control of electromagnetic waves in a digital coding manner, which are suitable for implementing time-domain with strong harmonic manipulation capabilities. However, the usually realized by adopting wired electrical method, is effective and robust, but there still some limitations. Here, we propose light-controllable metasurface consisting full-polariz...
