A non-traditional operator split (OS) scheme for the solution of the advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR) equation is proposed. The scheme is implemented with the recently published central scheme [A. Kurganov, E. Tadmor, New high-resolution central schemes for non-linear conservation laws and convection-diffusion equations, J. Comput. Phys. 160 (2000) 241–282] to accurately simulate advection-re...

A novel approach for multiscale image processing based on integro-differential equations (IDEs) was proposed in [E. Tadmor and P. Athavale, Inverse Probl. Imaging, 3 (2009), pp. 693–710]. These IDEs, which stem naturally from multiscale (BV,L) hierarchical decompositions, yield inverse scale representations of images in the sense that the BV -dual norms of their residuals are inversely proporti...

We continue our study of hydrodynamic models of self-organized evolution of agents with singular interaction kernelφ(x) = |x|−(1+α). Following ourworks Shvydkoy and Tadmor (2017) [1,2]which focused on the range 1 ≤ α < 2, and Do et al. (2017) which covered the range 0 < α < 1, in this paper we revisit the latter case and give a short(-er) proof of global in time existence of smooth solutions, t...

The hierarchical reconstruction (HR) [Liu, Shu, Tadmor and Zhang, SINUM ’07] can effectively reduce spurious oscillations without local characteristic decomposition for numerical capturing of discontinuous solutions. However, there are still small remaining overshoots/undershoots in the vicinity of discontinuities. HR with partial neighboring cells [Xu, Liu and Shu, JCP ’09] essentially overcom...

The decomposition of images into their meaningful components is one of the major tasks in computer vision. Tadmor, Nezzar and Vese [1] have proposed a general approach for multiscale hierarchical decomposition of images. On the basis of this work, we propose a multiscale hierarchical decomposition of functions on graphs. The decomposition is based on a discrete variational framework that makes ...

We propose three novel methods for recovering edges in piecewise smooth functions from their possibly incomplete and noisy spectral information. The proposed methods utilize three different approaches: #1. The randomly-based sparse Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (sIFT); #2. The Total Variation-based (TV) compressed sensing; and #3. The modified zero crossing. The different approaches share a co...

The multi scale approach was pioneered by Tadmor, Ortiz and Phillips [1] for atomistic-based quasi-continuum analysis of dislocations and hardening plasticity of polycrystalline metals. In that case, the structural failure is due to necking, which is caused by nonlinear geometric effects of finite strain, or to sharp fracture, which is modelled separately (see also [2]). There can be no dispute...

The acculturation complexity model suggests that immersion into dissonant cultures promotes cognitive skills in biculturals (Tadmor and Tetlock, 2006). In the present study, we examined links between identity acculturation and executive functioning (EF). Turkish-German immigrant origin children (N = 225; M = 11 years, SD = 1.6 years, 99 males) were given questions about their identification wit...

We show how existing models for the sedimentation of monodisperse flocculated suspensions and of polydisperse suspensions of rigid spheres differing in size can be combined to yield a new theory of the sedimentation processes of polydisperse suspensions forming compressible sediments (“sedimentation with compression” or “sedimentation-consolidation process”). For N solid particle species, this ...

We propose a new spectral viscosity (SV) scheme for the accurate solution of nonlinear conservation laws. It is proved that the SV solution converges to the unique entropy solution under appropriate reasonable conditions. The proposed SV scheme is implemented directly on high modes of the computed solution. This should be compared with the original nonperiodic SV scheme introduced by Maday, Oul...
