Trace formulas appear in many forms in noncommutative geometry (NCG). In the first part of this thesis, we obtain results for asymptotic expansions of trace formulas like heat trace expansions by adapting the theory of Multiple Operator…
Some data analysis problems require the computation of (regularised) inverse traces, i.e. quantities of the form $\Tr (q \bI + \bL)^{-1}$. For large matrices, direct methods are unfeasible and one must resort to approximations, for example…
Developing the comprehensive theory of the X-ray diffraction by distorted crystals remains to be topical of the mathematical physics. Up to now, the X-ray diffraction theory grounded on the Takagi-Taupin equations with the first-order…
Inverse scattering theory is extended to one-dimensional Schr\"odinger problems with near-boundary singularities of the form $v(z\to 0)\simeq -z^{-2}/4+v_{-1}z^{-1}$. Trace formulae relating the boundary value $v_0$ of the nonsingular part…
Gauss' and Stokes' theorems are fundamental results in vector calculus and important tools in physics and engineering. When students are asked to describe the meaning of Gauss' divergence theorem, they often use statements like this: "The…
We first prove that all the functions in L 2 whose directional derivative is in L 2 have a directional trace on the boundary of any open bounded domain, without assumptions on its regularity. This enables us to define the omnidirectional…

The main result of this paper is a proof of the continuity of a family of integral functionals defined on the space of functions of bounded variation with respect to a topology under which smooth functions are dense. These functionals occur…
In this article we investigate charged particles in gauge theories. After reviewing the physical and theoretical problems, a method to construct charged particles is presented. Explicit solutions are found in the Abelian theory and a…
We study a general discrete boundary value problem in Sobolev--Slobodetskii spaces in a plane quadrant and reduce it to a system of integral equations. We show a solvability of the system for a small size of discreteness starting from a…
A domain integral method employing a specific Green's function (i.e., incorporating some features of the global problem of wave propagation in an inhomogeneous medium) is developed for solving direct and inverse scattering problems relative…
The Bayesian inference is widely used in many scientific and engineering problems, especially in the linear inverse problems in infinite-dimensional setting where the unknowns are functions. In such problems, choosing an appropriate prior…
We deal with irregular curves contained in smooth, closed, and compact surfaces. For curves with finite total intrinsic curvature, a weak notion of parallel transport of tangent vector fields is well-defined in the Sobolev setting. Also,…
Symplectic invariants introduced in math-ph/0702045 can be computed for an arbitrary spectral curve. For some examples of spectral curves, those invariants can solve loop equations of matrix integrals, and many problems of enumerative…
Many statistical problems include model parameters that are defined as the solutions to optimization sub-problems. These include classical approaches such as profile likelihood as well as modern applications involving flow networks or…
We point out that the total number of trails and the total number of paths of given length, between two vertices of a simple undirected graph, are obtained as expectation values of specifically engineered quantum mechanical observables.…
We develop an index theory for variational problems on noncompact quantum graphs. The main results are a spectral flow formula, relating the net change of eigenvalues to the Maslov index of boundary data, and a Morse index theorem, equating…
We develop a formula (Theorem 5.1) which allows to compute top Chern classes of vector bundles on the vanishing locus $V(s)$ of a section of this bundle. This formula particularly applies in the case when $V(s)$ is the union of locally…
