We study the level lines of a Gaussian free field in a planar domain with general boundary data $F$. We show that the level lines exist as continuous curves under the assumption that $F$ is regulated (i.e., admits left and right limits at…
The influence of a local anisotropy of random orientation on a ferromagnetic phase transition is studied for two cases of anisotropy axis distribution. To this end a model of a random anisotropy magnet is analyzed by means of the field…
The analysis of contours of scalar fields plays an important role in visualization. For example the contour tree and contour statistics can be used as a means for interaction and filtering or as signatures. In the context of tensor field…
Maximizing the likelihood has been widely used for estimating the unknown covariance parameters of spatial Gaussian processes. However, evaluating and optimizing the likelihood function can be computationally intractable, particularly for…
The temperature and angle dependent resistivity of Ba(Fe$_{0.75}$Ru$_{0.25}$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals were measured in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The temperature dependent resistivity with the magnetic field aligned parallel to c-axis…
Spatially isotropic max-stable processes have been used to model extreme spatial or space-time observations. One prominent model is the Brown-Resnick process, which has been successfully fitted to time series, spatial data and space-time…

Let $L$ be a linear differential operator acting on functions defined over an open set $\mathcal{D}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In this article, we characterize the measurable second order random fields $U = (U(x))_{x\in\mathcal{D}}$ whose sample…
In this article, we consider an anisotropic finite-range bond percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. On each horizontal layer $\{(x,i): x \in \mathbb{Z}\}$ we have edges $\langle(x, i),(y, i)\rangle$ for $1 \leq |x - y| \leq N$. There are…
A method is suggested to deduce the anisotropy in neutral pions by measuring the azimuthal anisotropy of photons in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions. The ratio of the estimated anisotropy in photons to the anisotropy in neutral pions…
Recent semi-dense image matching methods have achieved remarkable success, but two long-standing issues still impair their performance. At the coarse stage, the over-exclusion issue of their mutual nearest neighbor (MNN) matching layer…
Millimeter-wave radar offers unique advantages in adverse weather but suffers from low spatial fidelity, severe azimuth ambiguity, and clutter-induced spurious returns. Existing methods mainly focus on improving spatial perception…

In this article, we study whether the slope functions of two scalar-on-function regression models in two samples are associated with any arbitrary transformation along the vertical axis. The problem is formally stated as a statistical…
