The biharmonic homotopy problem for unit vector fields on 2-tori [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The bienergy of smooth maps between Riemannian manifolds, when restricted to unit vector fields, yields two different variational problems depending on whether one takes the full functional or just the vertical contribution. Their critical points, called

The number of unit distances is almost linear for most norms [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2010
We prove that there exists a norm in the plane under which no n-point set determines more than O(n log n log log n) unit distances. Actually, most norms have this property, in the sense that their complement is a meager set in the metric space of all ...

The visual angle metric and quasiregular maps [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
The distortion of distances between points under maps is studied. We rst prove a Schwarz-type lemma for quasiregular maps of the unit disk involving the visual angle metric.

Critical review of the levelised cost of energy metric

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the ‘levelised cost of energy’ metric used in electricity project development. This metric is widely used, because it is a simple metric to calculate the cost per unit of electricity for a given ...

Wasserstein‐metric‐based distributionally robust optimization method for unit commitment considering wind turbine uncertainty [PDF]

open access: goldEngineering Reports, 2023
The penetration of wind turbines in the power grid is increasing rapidly. Still, the wind turbine output power has uncertainty, leading to poor grid reliability, affecting the grid's dispatching plan, and increasing the total cost.

Threshold units: A correct metric for reaction time? [PDF]

open access: bronzeVision Research, 2007
To compare reaction time (RT) to rod incremental and decremental stimuli expressed in physical contrast units or psychophysical threshold units.Rod contrast detection thresholds and suprathreshold RTs were measured for Rapid-On and Rapid-Off ramp stimuli.Threshold sensitivity to Rapid-Off stimuli was higher than to Rapid-On stimuli.

Unit Size Determination for Exploratory Brain Imaging Analysis: A Quest for a Resolution-Invariant Metric

open access: goldMathematics
Defining an adequate unit size is often crucial in brain imaging analysis, where datasets are complex, high-dimensional, and computationally demanding. Unit size refers to the spatial resolution at which brain data is aggregated for analysis.

Scalar curvature of a metric with unit volume

open access: yesMathematische Annalen, 1987
The problem of finding Riemannian metrics on a closed manifold with prescribed scalar curvature function is now fairly well understood from the works of Kazdan and Warner in 1970's ([10] and references cited in it). In this paper we shall consider the same problem under a constraint on the volume. For this purpose it is useful to introduce an invariant

On the H.-Q. Li inequality on step-two Carnot groups

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Mathématique, 2023
In this note we show that the gradient estimate of the heat semigroup, or more precisely the H.-Q. Li inequality, is preserved under tensorization, some suitable group epimorphism, and central sum. We also establish the Riemannian counterpart of the H.-Q.
