We propose a design procedure for the real, equal-norm, lapped tight frame transforms (LTFTs). These transforms have been recently proposed as both a redundant counterpart to lapped orthogonal transforms and an infinite-dimensional counterpart to harmonic tight frames. In addition, LTFTs can be efficiently implemented with filter banks. The procedure consists of two steps. First, we construct n...

We introduce a new discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFrFT) based on only the DFT matrix and its powers. Eigenvectors of the DFT matrix are obtained in a simple-yetelegant and straightforward manner. We show that this DFrFT definition based on the eigentransforms of the DFT matrix mimics the properties of continuous fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) by approximating the samples of the co...

A fundamental result of free probability theory due to Voiculescu and subsequently refined by many authors states that conjugation by independent Haar-distributed random unitary matrices delivers asymptotic freeness. In this paper we exhibit many other systems of random unitary matrices that, when used for conjugation, lead to freeness. We do so by first proving a general result asserting “asym...

A DFT algorithm, the Extended Subband DFT (ESB−−DFT), is presented, which aims to overcome the problem of low accuracy the Subband DFT (SB−−DFT) algorithm suffers from, when applied in its approximate mode for signals with full spectrum. The proposed ESB−DFT is based upon the analysis of the input signal using a Filter Bank (FB) and the computation of its DFT from the lower length DFTs that cor...

background and aims. childhood obesity has been associated with high refined sugar intake. the relationship between sucrose intake and development of dental caries has been established. the aim of this study was to determine the association between age-specific body mass index (bmi-for-age) and dental caries in children. materials and methods. in this cross-sectional study a total of 1003 child...

The equations for the response terms for the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method interfaced with the density functional theory (DFT) gradient are derived and implemented. Compared to the previous FMO-DFT gradient, which lacks response terms, the FMO-DFT analytic gradient has improved accuracy for a variety of functionals, when compared to numerical gradients. The FMO-DFT gradient agrees wit...

In this article, we present a consistent derivation of a density functional theory (DFT) based embedding method which encompasses wave-function theory-in-DFT (WFT-in-DFT) and the DFT-based subsystem formulation of response theory (DFT-in-DFT) by Neugebauer [J. Neugebauer, J. Chem. Phys. 131, 084104 (2009)] as special cases. This formulation, which is based on the time-averaged quasi-energy form...
