The log-homotopy particle flow filter resolves the Bayesian update by transporting particles along a continuous trajectory in pseudo-time. However, the governing partial differential equation for the flow velocity is fundamentally…

For many applications, critical information about system dynamics is encoded in associated eigenvalue problems that can be posed as linear Hamiltonian systems with suitable boundary conditions. Motivated by examples from hydrodynamics,…

The aim of this paper is to show that the Lagrange-d'Alembert and its equivalent the Gauss and Appel principle are not the only way to deduce the equations of motion of the nonholonomic systems. Instead of them, here we consider the…

We explain the topology of the space, so called, Fredholm-Lagrangian-Grassmannain and the quantity ``Maslov index'' for paths in this space based on the standard theory of Functional Analysis. Our standing point is to define the Maslov…

We present a collection of eight data sets, from state-of-the-art experiments and numerical simulations on turbulent velocity statistics along particle trajectories obtained in different flows with Reynolds numbers in the range $R_\lambda…

In recent years, we have established the iteration theory of the index for symplectic matrix paths and applied it to periodic solution problems of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. This paper is a survey on these results.

This paper presents, by example, an index theory appropriate to algebras without trace. Whilst we work exclusively with the Cuntz algebras the exposition is designed to indicate how to develop a general theory. Our main result is an index…

A unified geometric approach for the stability analysis of traveling pulse solutions for reaction-diffusion equations with skew-gradient structure has been established in a previous paper [9], but essentially no results have been found in…

We consider the functional of total variation of maps from an interval into a Riemannian submanifold of $\mathbb R^N$. We define a notion of strong solution to the system of equations corresponding to the $L^2$-gradient flow of this…

We formulate and prove a Gelfand-Levitan trace formula for general quantum graphs with arbitrary edge lengths and coupling conditions which cover all self-adjoint operators on quantum graphs, except for a set of measure zero. The formula is…

New aspects of turbulence are uncovered if one considers flow motion from the perspective of a fluid particle (known as the Lagrangian approach) rather than in terms of a velocity field (the Eulerian viewpoint). Using a new experimental…

Flow equations describe the evolution of the effective action $\Gamma_k$ in the process of varying an infrared cutoff $k$. The presence of the infrared cutoff explicitly breaks gauge and hence BRS invariance. We derive modified…
