The normal-Laplace (NL) distribution results from convolving independent normally distributed and Laplace distributed components. It is the distribution of the stopped state of a Brownian motion with normally distributed starting value if the stopping hazard rate is constant. Properties of the NL distribution discussed in the article include its shape and tail behaviour (fatter than the normal)...

The roller bearing characteristic frequencies contain very little energy, and are usually overwhelmed by noise and higher levels of structural vibrations. Therefore, envelope spectrum analysis is widely used to detection bearing localized fault. In order to overcome the shortcomings in the traditional envelope analysis in which manually specifying a resonant frequency band is required, a new ap...

Multivariate Laplace distribution is an important stochastic model that accounts for asymmetry and heavier than Gaussian tails, while still ensuring the existence of the second moments. A Lévy process based on this multivariate infinitely divisible distribution is known as Laplace motion, and its marginal distributions are multivariate generalized Laplace laws. We review their basic properties ...

Algebraic techniques based on Laplace transform are widely used for solving differential equations and evaluating transfer of signals while analyzing physical aspects of many safety-critical systems. To facilitate formal analysis of these systems, we present the formalization of Laplace transform using the multivariable calculus theories of HOL-Light. In particular, we use integral, differentia...

other fields. However, the spectral properties of the Laplace Transform tend to complicate its numerical treatment; therefore, the closely related “Truncated” Laplace Transforms are often used in applications. We have constructed efficient algorithms for the evaluation of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of Truncated Laplace Transforms; in the current paper, we introduce algorithms for th...

Brownian-Laplace motion is a Lévy process which has both continuous (Brownian) and discontinuous (Laplace motion) components. The increments of the process follow a generalized normal Laplace (GNL) distribution which exhibits positive kurtosis and can be either symmetrical or exhibit skewness. The degree of kurtosis in the increments increases as the time between observations decreases. This an...

many environmental and physiological factors affect plant temperature. the objective of this study was to use thermal imagery to investigate robust features for early diagnosis of botrytis cinerea infection in cut rose flowers under the postharvest application of methyl jasmonate (meja). three cases treated with different concentrations of meja (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 µl.l−1), a control (0 µl.l−1 me...

Ergodicity for local and nonlocal stochastic singular p-Laplace equations is proven, without restriction on the spatial dimension and for all p ∈ [1, 2). This generalizes previous results from [Gess, Tölle; JMPA, 2014], [Liu, Tölle; ECP, 2011], [Liu; JEE, 2009]. In particular, the results include the multivalued case of the stochastic (nonlocal) total variation flow, which solves an open proble...

Abstract I seems to be widely believed that the Fourier and Laplace transforms are simply related to each other. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Fourier transform is the basis for the Hilbert vector-space expansion of signals. The Laplace transform is the basis of system functions, that are causal. The Fourier transform does not naturally include the step function, which must be sh...

SFB393/05-01 January 2005 Abstract The Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponds to the Laplace operator on curved surfaces. In this paper, we consider an eigenvalue problem for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on subdomains of the unit sphere in R. We develop a residual a posteriori error estimator for the eigenpairs and derive a reliable estimate for the eigenvalues. A global parametrization of the ...
