AbstractStructural assessment and seismic vulnerability of ancient masonry buildings is a difficult task even when employing advanced specialized technical skills, which requires complex study. T...

This paper describes Idries Shah's Sufism thinking as a counter to religious formalism. Because formalism will give birth an exclusive nature and lead religious-based radicalism. Therefore, this study really needs be done in order realize people who are inclusive tolerant. research was carried out by library research, analyzing the original writings of Shah. Data were collected through document...

We show that inverse problems with a truncated quadratic regularization are NP-hard in general to solve or even approximate up to an additive error. This stands in contrast to the case corresponding to a finite-dimensional approximation to the Mumford-Shah functional, where the operator involved is the identity and for which polynomial-time solutions are known. Consequently, we confirm the infe...

We study global Mumford-Shah minimizers in R , introduced by Bonnet as blow-up limits of Mumford-Shah minimizers. We prove a new monotonicity formula for the energy of u when the singular set K is contained in a smooth enough cone. We then use this monotonicity to prove that for any reduced global minimizer (u,K) in R, if K is contained in a half-plane and touching its edge, then it is the half...
