In this paper, we consider steady Euler flows in two-dimensional bounded annuli, as well as in exterior circular domains, in punctured disks and in the punctured plane. We always assume rigid wall boundary conditions. We prove that, if the…

The Ricci flow is a partial differential equation for evolving the metric in a Riemannian manifold to make it more regular. On the other hand, neural networks seem to have similar geometric behavior for specific tasks. In this paper, we…

A fuzzy circle and a fuzzy 3-sphere are constructed as subspaces of fuzzy complex projective spaces, of complex dimension one and three, by modifying the Laplacians on the latter so as to give unwanted states large eigenvalues. This leaves…

Super-resolution is an ill-posed problem, since it allows for multiple predictions for a given low-resolution image. This fundamental fact is largely ignored by state-of-the-art deep learning based approaches. These methods instead train a…

Based on the manifold hypothesis, real-world data often lie on a low-dimensional manifold, while normalizing flows as a likelihood-based generative model are incapable of finding this manifold due to their structural constraints. So, one…

It is well known that a k-dimensional smooth surface in a Euclidean space cannot be tangent to a non-involutive distribution of k-dimensional planes. In this paper we discuss the extension of this statement to weaker notions of surfaces,…
