Confocal laser scanning microscopy is a powerful and increasingly popular technique for 3D imaging of biological specimens. However the acquired images are degraded by blur from out-of-focus light and Poisson noise due to photon-limited detection. Several deconvolution methods have been proposed to reduce these degradations, including the Richardson-Lucy iterative algorithm, which computes a ma...

We give a new interpretation of the shifted Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $f_{\lambda\mu}^\nu$ ($\lambda,\mu,\nu$ are strict partitions). The $g_{\lambda\mu}$ which appear in decomposition Schur $Q$-function $Q_\lambda$ into sum functions $Q_\lambda = 2^{l(\lambda)}\sum_{\mu}g_{\lambda\mu}s_\mu$ can be considered as special case (here $\lambda$ is partition length $l(\lambda)$). also anoth...

Mixed convection fluid flow and heat transfer of water-Al2O3 nanofluid inside a lid-driven square cavity has been examined numerically in order to find the optimal distribution of discrete heat sources on the wall of a cavity. The effects of different heat source length, Richardson number and Grashof number on optimal heat source location has been investigated. Moreover, the average Nusselt num...

Abstract— General linear methods (GLM) apply to a large family of numerical methods for ordinary differential equations, with RungeKutta (RK) and Almost Runge-Kutta (ARK) methods as two out of a number of special cases. In this paper, we have investigated the efficacy of Richardson extrapolation (RE) technique as a means of obtaining viable and acceptable estimates of the local truncation error...

Two approaches to the combination of robust variational deconvolution with positivity constraints are considered. The first approach modifies a standard robust variational deconvolution method by carrying out a gradient descent with respect to a multiplicative perturbation, which can also be considered as gradient descent in a hyperbolic metric. The second approach is based on the representatio...

A consequence of work of Klyachko and of Knutson-Tao is the Horn recursion to determine when a Littlewood-Richardson coefficient is non-zero. Briefly, a LittlewoodRichardson coefficient is non-zero if and only if it satisfies a collection of Horn inequalities which are indexed by smaller non-zero Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. There are similar Littlewood-Richardson numbers for Schur P and...

This paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of Cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. Except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. The inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall....
