When A is a subalgebra of the commutative Banach algebra C0(X) of all continuous complex-valued functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X, the spatial numerical range of element of A can be described in terms of positive measures.

—A compact 180° hybrid has been developed for use in balanced SIS mixers. The lumped-element circuit uses superconducting Nb conductors on a 1.4 mm x 0.5 mm quartz substrate and operates over 4-12 GHz. Index Terms—Superconducting microwave devices, microwave integrated circuits, hybrid junctions, lumpedelement microwave circuits, superconductor-insulatorsuperconductor mixers.

All sufficient (as well as necessary) conditions for a binary relation on a metric space to admit a maximal element on every nonempty compact subset of its domain that have been found so far in the literature can be expressed as the prohibition of certain “configurations.” No condition of this form could be necessary and sufficient simultaneously.

A new variational (dis)continuous Galerkin finite element method is presented for linear free surface gravity water wave equations. In this method, the space-time finite element discretization is based on a discrete variational formulation analogous to a version of Luke’s variational principle. The finite element discretization results into a linear algebraic system of equations with a symmetri...

We present a compact method to provide independent weighted interconnections between every pixel in a two-dimensional input array and every pixel in a two-dimensional output array. The two input dimensions and two output dimensions are connected by a four-dimensional weight matrix consisting of wavelength-multiplexed volume holograms that use cryogenic spectral hole burning in a single holograp...

The Noetherian type of a space is the least κ for which the space has a κop-like base, i.e., a base in which no element has κ-many supersets. We prove some results about Noetherian types of (generalized) ordered spaces and products thereof. For example: the density of a product of not-too-many compact linear orders never exceeds its Noetherian type, with equality possible only for singular Noet...

Finite element analysis procedures are utilized to provide theoretical calibration curves for the electrical potential crack-monitoring system as applied to single-edge-notch (SEN) and compact tension (CT) fracture specimens. The results are compared to existing calibrations for such test piece geometries derived using experimental, electrical analog and analytical (conformal mapping) procedures.

This paper contains sufficient conditions under which a map whose domain is a compact set is a bijection onto a given set. Relative to certain isoparametric finite element maps, one set of conditions involves the nonvanishing of the Jacobian; another the notion of overspill. An algorithm based on elimination is given for the numerical inversion of these maps.

In this paper we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for which each Banach lattice  is    space and we study some properties of b-weakly compact operators from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space . We show that every weakly compact operator from a Banach lattice  into a Banach space  is b-weakly compact and give a counterexample which shows that the inverse is not true but we prove ...
