The affine synthesis operator Sc = P j>0 P k∈Zd cj,kψj,k is shown to map the mixed-norm sequence space `(`) surjectively onto L(R) under mild conditions on the synthesizer ψ ∈ L(R), 1 ≤ p < ∞, with R Rd ψ dx = 1. Here ψj,k(x) = |det aj |ψ(ajx−k), and the dilation matrices aj expand, for example aj = 2I . Affine synthesis further maps a discrete mixed Hardy space `(h) onto H(R). Therefore the H-...

This paper generalizes the classical cubic spline with the construction of the cubic spline coalescence hidden variable fractal interpolation function (CHFIF) through its moments, i.e. its second derivative at the mesh points. The second derivative of a cubic spline CHFIF is a typical fractal function that is self-affine or non-self-affine depending on the parameters of the generalized iterated...

Self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. They belong to the general category of patch-based methods. Particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. By minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. Almost all image process...

We prove the existence of secondary terms of order X in the Davenport-Heilbronn theorems on cubic fields and 3-torsion in class groups of quadratic fields. For cubic fields this confirms a conjecture of Datskovsky-Wright and Roberts. We also prove a variety of generalizations, including to arithmetic progressions, where we discover a curious bias in the secondary term. Roberts’ conjecture has a...

We derive and apply a partial differential equation for the moment generating function of the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics.

pressure and flow during the forced expiratory manoeuvre. It also breaks a fundamental law of the science of measurement: that units of measurement such as litre per minute should have an absolute definition and meaning. Finally, Dr Wright states that the resistance of the meter has a marked effect on a rigid mechanical flow generator of the type used by us. This is untrue, for our calibration ...
