This paper investigates the problem of time-harmonic acoustic scattering in an inhomogeneous medium with a complex topological structure. Specifically, the medium is anisotropic and contains several disjoint sound-soft obstacles. This model…
Blind deconvolution is an ubiquitous non-linear inverse problem in applications like wireless communications and image processing. This problem is generally ill-posed, and there have been efforts to use sparse models for regularizing blind…
This paper proposes and illustrates a general framework to integrate the areas of vision research and complex networks. Each image pixel is associated to a network node and the Euclidean distance between the visual properties (e.g.…
This paper is concerned with the Floating Body Problem of S. Ulam: the existence of objects other than the sphere, which can float in a liquid in any orientation. Despite recent results of F. Wegner pointing towards an affirmative answer, a…
We propose a differentiable imaging framework to address uncertainty in measurement coordinates such as sensor locations and projection angles. We formulate the problem as measurement interpolation at unknown nodes supervised through the…
When are asymptotic approximations using the delta-method uniformly valid? We provide sufficient conditions as well as closely related necessary conditions for uniform negligibility of the remainder of such approximations. These conditions…
The solid immersion lens is a powerful optical tool that allows light entering material from air or vacuum to focus to a spot much smaller than the free-space wavelength. Conventionally, however, they rely on semispherical topographies and…

Minimal surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Here they are considered as geometric objects that bear a deformation content. By refining the resolution of the surface deformation gradient afforded by the polar decomposition theorem, we…
Given two arbitrary closed sets in Euclidean space, a simple transversality condition guarantees that the method of alternating projections converges locally, at linear rate, to a point in the intersection. Exact projection onto nonconvex…
We use Ikehata's enclosure method to reconstruct penetrable unknown inclusions in a plane elastic body in time-harmonic waves. Complex geometrical optics solutions with complex polynomial phases are adopted as the probing utility. In a…

A groupoid $\Omega \left( \mathcal{B} \right)$ called material groupoid is naturally associated to any simple body $\mathcal{B}$. The material distribution is introduced due to the (possible) lack of differentiability of the material…
A criterion for determining exactly when an order of a maximal subfield of a central simple algebra over a number field can be embedded into an order of this algebra is given. Various previous results have been generalized and recovered by…
Systems of neutral interacting mesons are investigated, concerning in particular the validity of their description by an effective hamiltonian. First, I study its connection to quantum field theory and show that the spectrum of such systems…
This article is the first part of a two-fold study, the objective of which is the theoretical analysis and numerical investigation of new approximate corrector problems in the context of stochastic homogenization. We present here three new…
