The far-field resolution of optical imaging systems is restricted by the Abbe diffraction limit, a direct result of the wave nature of light. One successful technological approach to circumventing this limit is to reduce the effective size…
We consider the inverse problem of denoising an image where each point (pixel) is an element of a target set, which we refer to as a target-valued image. The target sets considered are either (i) a closed convex set of Euclidean space or…

Point Spread Function (PSF) for imaging through inhomogeneous refractive medium, such as atmospheric turbulence is bounded by three constraints [Charnotskii, Opt. Eng., 52, 04600, (2013)]. PSF is non-negative, band-limited, and the third…
The surface of a polar liquid presents a special environment for the solvation and organization of charged solutes, which differ from bulk behaviors in important ways. These differences have motivated many attempts to understand…

A new result enables direct calculation of thermoelastic damping in vibrating elastic solids. The mechanism for energy loss is thermal diffusion caused by inhomogeneous deformation, flexure in thin plates. The general result is combined…
Two approaches (micro- and macro- investigations) are used to determine the dimension dependences of the optical parameters of the nanometer-scale layers of materials. It is shown that both an index of refraction and coefficient of…
