T1  - The Dirac operator under collapse to a smooth limit space
JF  - Annals of global analysis and geometry
N2  - Let (M-i, g(i))(i is an element of N) be a sequence of spin manifolds with uniform bounded curvature and diameter that converges to a lower-dimensional Riemannian manifold (B, h) in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. Then, it happens that the spectrum of the Dirac operator converges to the spectrum of a certain first-order elliptic differential operator D-B on B. We give an explicit description of D-B and characterize the special case where D-B equals the Dirac operator on B.

JF  - Mathematical physics, analysis and geometry : an international journal devoted to the theory and applications of analysis and geometry to physics
N2  - Given two weighted graphs (X, b(k), m(k)), k = 1, 2 with b(1) similar to b(2) and m(1) similar to m(2), we prove a weighted L-1-criterion for the existence and completeness of the wave operators W-+/- (H-2, H-1, I-1,I-2), where H-k denotes the natural Laplacian in l(2)(X, m(k)) w.r.t. (X, b(k), m(k)) and I-1,I-2 the trivial identification of l(2)(X, m(1)) with l(2) (X, m(2)). In particular, this entails a general criterion for the absolutely continuous spectra of H-1 and H-2 to be equal.

T1  - On the semigroup of all partial fence-preserving injections on a finite set
JF  - Journal of Algebra and Its Applications
N2  - For n∈N , let Xn={a1,a2,…,an} be an n-element set and let F=(Xn;<f) be a fence, also called a zigzag poset. As usual, we denote by In the symmetric inverse semigroup on Xn. We say that a transformation α∈In is fence-preserving if x<fy implies that xα<fyα, for all x,y in the domain of α. In this paper, we study the semigroup PFIn of all partial fence-preserving injections of Xn and its subsemigroup IFn={α∈PFIn:α−1∈PFIn}. Clearly, IFn is an inverse semigroup and contains all regular elements of PFIn. We characterize the Green’s relations for the semigroup IFn. Further, we prove that the semigroup IFn is generated by its elements with rank ≥n−2. Moreover, for n∈2N, we find the least generating set and calculate the rank of IFn.

T1  - The maximum expected earthquake magnitudes in different future time intervals of six seismotectonic zones of Iran and its surroundings
JF  - Journal of seismology
N2  - One of the crucial components in seismic hazard analysis is the estimation of the maximum earthquake magnitude and associated uncertainty. In the present study, the uncertainty related to the maximum expected magnitude mu is determined in terms of confidence intervals for an imposed level of confidence. Previous work by Salamat et al. (Pure Appl Geophys 174:763-777, 2017) shows the divergence of the confidence interval of the maximum possible magnitude m(max) for high levels of confidence in six seismotectonic zones of Iran. In this work, the maximum expected earthquake magnitude mu is calculated in a predefined finite time interval and imposed level of confidence. For this, we use a conceptual model based on a doubly truncated Gutenberg-Richter law for magnitudes with constant b-value and calculate the posterior distribution of mu for the time interval T-f in future. We assume a stationary Poisson process in time and a Gutenberg-Richter relation for magnitudes. The upper bound of the magnitude confidence interval is calculated for different time intervals of 30, 50, and 100 years and imposed levels of confidence alpha = 0.5, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.01. The posterior distribution of waiting times T-f to the next earthquake with a given magnitude equal to 6.5, 7.0, and7.5 are calculated in each zone. In order to find the influence of declustering, we use the original and declustered version of the catalog. The earthquake catalog of the territory of Iran and surroundings are subdivided into six seismotectonic zones Alborz, Azerbaijan, Central Iran, Zagros, Kopet Dagh, and Makran. We assume the maximum possible magnitude m(max) = 8.5 and calculate the upper bound of the confidence interval of mu in each zone. The results indicate that for short time intervals equal to 30 and 50 years and imposed levels of confidence 1 - alpha = 0.95 and 0.90, the probability distribution of mu is around mu = 7.16-8.23 in all seismic zones.

T1  - Energetic equivalence underpins the size structure of tree and phytoplankton communities
JF  - Nature Communications
N2  - The size structure of autotroph communities - the relative abundance of small vs. large individuals - shapes the functioning of ecosystems. Whether common mechanisms underpin the size structure of unicellular and multicellular autotrophs is, however, unknown. Using a global data compilation, we show that individual body masses in tree and phytoplankton communities follow power-law distributions and that the average exponents of these individual size distributions (ISD) differ. Phytoplankton communities are characterized by an average ISD exponent consistent with three-quarter-power scaling of metabolism with body mass and equivalence in energy use among mass classes. Tree communities deviate from this pattern in a manner consistent with equivalence in energy use among diameter size classes. Our findings suggest that whilst universal metabolic constraints ultimately underlie the emergent size structure of autotroph communities, divergent aspects of body size (volumetric vs. linear dimensions) shape the ecological outcome of metabolic scaling in forest vs. pelagic ecosystems.

T1  - Atmospheric Predictability: Revisiting the Inherent Finite-Time Barrier
JF  - Journal of the atmospheric sciences
N2  - The accepted idea that there exists an inherent finite-time barrier in deterministically predicting atmospheric flows originates from Edward N. Lorenz’s 1969 work based on two-dimensional (2D) turbulence. Yet, known analytic results on the 2D Navier–Stokes (N-S) equations suggest that one can skillfully predict the 2D N-S system indefinitely far ahead should the initial-condition error become sufficiently small, thereby presenting a potential conflict with Lorenz’s theory. Aided by numerical simulations, the present work reexamines Lorenz’s model and reviews both sides of the argument, paying particular attention to the roles played by the slope of the kinetic energy spectrum. It is found that when this slope is shallower than −3, the Lipschitz continuity of analytic solutions (with respect to initial conditions) breaks down as the model resolution increases, unless the viscous range of the real system is resolved—which remains practically impossible. This breakdown leads to the inherent finite-time limit. If, on the other hand, the spectral slope is steeper than −3, then the breakdown does not occur. In this way, the apparent contradiction between the analytic results and Lorenz’s theory is reconciled.

T1  - Forecasting the magnitude of the largest expected earthquake
JF  - Nature Communications
N2  - The majority of earthquakes occur unexpectedly and can trigger subsequent sequences of events that can culminate in more powerful earthquakes. This self-exciting nature of seismicity generates complex clustering of earthquakes in space and time. Therefore, the problem of constraining the magnitude of the largest expected earthquake during a future time interval is of critical importance in mitigating earthquake hazard. We address this problem by developing a methodology to compute the probabilities for such extreme earthquakes to be above certain magnitudes. We combine the Bayesian methods with the extreme value theory and assume that the occurrence of earthquakes can be described by the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence process. We analyze in detail the application of this methodology to the 2016 Kumamoto, Japan, earthquake sequence. We are able to estimate retrospectively the probabilities of having large subsequent earthquakes during several stages of the evolution of this sequence.

T1  - Conditioned Point Processes with Application to Levy Bridges
JF  - Journal of theoretical probability
N2  - Our first result concerns a characterization by means of a functional equation of Poisson point processes conditioned by the value of their first moment. It leads to a generalized version of Mecke’s formula. En passant, it also allows us to gain quantitative results about stochastic domination for Poisson point processes under linear constraints. Since bridges of a pure jump Lévy process in Rd with a height a can be interpreted as a Poisson point process on space–time conditioned by pinning its first moment to a, our approach allows us to characterize bridges of Lévy processes by means of a functional equation. The latter result has two direct applications: First, we obtain a constructive and simple way to sample Lévy bridge dynamics; second, it allows us to estimate the number of jumps for such bridges. We finally show that our method remains valid for linearly perturbed Lévy processes like periodic Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes driven by Lévy noise.

Application of regularization to the geopotential field used in the momentum equations leads to an unconditionally stable scheme. The analysis, together with a fully nonlinear example application, suggests that this approach is a promising, efficient, and accurate alternative to traditional schemes.

N2  - In this study we present iterative regularization methods using rational approximations, in particular, Pade approximants, which work well for ill-posed problems. We prove that the (k,j)-Pade method is a convergent and order optimal iterative regularization method in using the discrepancy principle of Morozov. Furthermore, we present a hybrid Pade method, compare it with other well-known methods and found that it is faster than the Landweber method. It is worth mentioning that this study is a completion of the paper [A. Kirsche, C. Bockmann, Rational approximations for ill-conditioned equation systems, Appl. Math. Comput. 171 (2005) 385-397] where this method was treated to solve ill-conditioned equation systems. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

T1  - Linearly implicit time stepping methods for numerical weather prediction
JF  - BIT : numerical mathematics ; the leading applied mathematics journal for all computational mathematicians
N2  - The efficient time integration of the dynamic core equations for numerical weather prediction (NWP) remains a key challenge. One of the most popular methods is currently provided by implementations of the semi-implicit semi-Lagrangian (SISL) method, originally proposed by Robert (J. Meteorol. Soc. Jpn., 1982). Practical implementations of the SISL method are, however, not without certain shortcomings with regard to accuracy, conservation properties and stability. Based on recent work by Gottwald, Frank and Reich (LNCSE, Springer, 2002), Frank, Reich, Staniforth, White and Wood (Atm. Sci. Lett., 2005) and Wood, Staniforth and Reich (Atm. Sci. Lett., 2006) we propose an alternative semi-Lagrangian implementation based on a set of regularized equations and the popular Stormer-Verlet time stepping method in the context of the shallow-water equations (SWEs). Ultimately, the goal is to develop practical implementations for the 3D Euler equations that overcome some or all shortcomings of current SISL implementations.

N2  - We show that the Dirac operator on a compact globally hyperbolic Lorentzian spacetime with spacelike Cauchy boundary is a Fredholm operator if appropriate boundary conditions are imposed. We prove that the index of this operator is given by the same expression as in the index formula of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer for Riemannian manifolds with boundary. The index is also shown to equal that of a certain operator constructed from the evolution operator and a spectral projection on the boundary. In case the metric is of product type near the boundary a Feynman parametrix is constructed.

T1  - Hadamard states for bosonic quantum field theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes
JF  - Journal of mathematical physics
N2  - According to Radzikowski’s celebrated results, bisolutions of a wave operator on a globally hyperbolic spacetime are of the Hadamard form iff they are given by a linear combination of distinguished parametrices i2(G˜aF−G˜F+G˜A−G˜R) in the sense of Duistermaat and Hörmander [Acta Math. 128, 183–269 (1972)] and Radzikowski [Commun. Math. Phys. 179, 529 (1996)]. Inspired by the construction of the corresponding advanced and retarded Green operator GA, GR as done by Bär, Ginoux, and Pfäffle {Wave Equations on Lorentzian Manifolds and Quantization [European Mathematical Society (EMS), Zürich, 2007]}, we construct the remaining two Green operators GF, GaF locally in terms of Hadamard series. Afterward, we provide the global construction of i2(G˜aF−G˜F), which relies on new techniques such as a well-posed Cauchy problem for bisolutions and a patching argument using Čech cohomology. This leads to global bisolutions of the Hadamard form, each of which can be chosen to be a Hadamard two-point-function, i.e., the smooth part can be adapted such that, additionally, the symmetry and the positivity condition are exactly satisfied.

T1  - Multi-hypersubstitutions and colored solid varieties
JF  - International journal of algebra and computation
N2  - Hypersubstitutions are mappings which map operation symbols to terms. Terms can be visualized by trees. Hypersubstitutions can be extended to mappings defined on sets of trees. The nodes of the trees, describing terms, are labelled by operation symbols and by colors, i.e. certain positive integers. We are interested in mappings which map differently-colored operation symbols to different terms. In this paper we extend the theory of hypersubstitutions and solid varieties to multi-hypersubstitutions and colored solid varieties. We develop the interconnections between such colored terms and multihypersubstitutions and the equational theory of Universal Algebra. The collection of all varieties of a given type forms a complete lattice which is very complex and difficult to study; multi-hypersubstitutions and colored solid varieties offer a new method to study complete sublattices of this lattice.

T1  - The partial clone of linear formulas
JF  - Siberian mathematical journal
N2  - A term t is linear if no variable occurs more than once in t. An identity s ≈ t is said to be linear if s and t are linear terms. Identities are particular formulas. As for terms superposition operations can be defined for formulas too. We define the arbitrary linear formulas and seek for a condition for the set of all linear formulas to be closed under superposition. This will be used to define the partial superposition operations on the set of linear formulas and a partial many-sorted algebra Formclonelin(τ, τ′). This algebra has similar properties with the partial many-sorted clone of all linear terms. We extend the concept of a hypersubstitution of type τ to the linear hypersubstitutions of type (τ, τ′) for algebraic systems. The extensions of linear hypersubstitutions of type (τ, τ′) send linear formulas to linear formulas, presenting weak endomorphisms of Formclonelin(τ, τ′).

JF  - Siberian mathematical journal
N2  - A term, also called a tree, is said to be linear, if each variable occurs in the term only once. The linear terms and sets of linear terms, the so-called linear tree languages, play some role in automata theory and in the theory of formal languages in connection with recognizability. We define a partial superposition operation on sets of linear trees of a given type and study the properties of some many-sorted partial clones that have sets of linear trees as elements and partial superposition operations as fundamental operations. The endomorphisms of those algebras correspond to nondeterministic linear hypersubstitutions.

T1  - Arborescent numbers : higher arithmetic operations and division trees
T1  - Baumartige Zahlen : höhere arithmetische Operationen und Divisionsbäume
N2  - The overall program "arborescent numbers" is to similarly perform the constructions from the natural numbers (N) to the positive fractional numbers (Q+) to positive real numbers (R+) beginning with (specific) binary trees instead of natural numbers. N can be regarded as the associative binary trees. The binary trees B and the left-commutative binary trees P allow the hassle-free definition of arbitrary high arithmetic operations (hyper ... hyperpowers). To construct the division trees the algebraic structure "coppice" is introduced which is a group with an addition over which the multiplication is right-distributive. Q+ is the initial associative coppice. The present work accomplishes one step in the program "arborescent numbers". That is the construction of the arborescent equivalent(s) of the positive fractional numbers. These equivalents are the "division binary trees" and the "fractional trees". A representation with decidable word problem for each of them is given. The set of functions f:R1->R1 generated from identity by taking powers is isomorphic to P and can be embedded into a coppice by taking inverses.
N2  - Baumartige Zahlen und höhere arithmetische Operationen Von Schülern und Laienmathematikern wird oft die Frage gestellt, warum nach den Operationen Addition (1. Stufe), Multiplikation (2. Stufe), Potenzieren (3. Stufe) keine Operationen der 4. oder höheren Stufen betrachtet werden. Jede Operation der nächsthöheren Stufe ist die Wiederholung der vorhergehenden Operation, z.B. n * x = x + x + ... + x x^n = x * x * ... * x Das offensichtliche Problem mit der Wiederholung des Potenzierens besteht darin, dass das Potenzieren nicht assoziativ ist und es somit mehrere Klammerungsmöglichkeiten für die Wiederholung dieser Operation gibt. Wählt man eine spezifische Klammerungsmöglichkeit aus, z.B. x^^n = (x^(x^(x^(......)))), gibt es jedoch wieder verschiedene Möglichkeiten, diese Operation auf rationale oder reelle n fortzusetzen. In der Tat kann man im Internet verschiedene solcher Fortsetzungen beschrieben finden und keine scheint besonders ausgezeichnet zu sein. Das ganze Dilemma der verschiedenen Klammerungen kann man jedoch überwinden, in dem man den Zahlenbereich abstrakter macht. So dass statt nur der Anzahl auch eine Klammerungsstruktur in einer Zahl kodiert wird. Die ganz natürliche Verallgemeinerung der natürlichen Zahlen in dieser Hinsicht sind die Binärbäume. Und in der Tat lassen sich die 4. und höhere Operationen in einer eindeutigen Weise auf den Binärbäumen erklären. Vielmehr stellt sich sogar heraus, dass die Binärbäume zu viel Information mit sich tragen, wenn es nur darum geht, die höheren Operationen zu definieren. Es gibt eine Spezialisierung der Binärbäume, die aber allgemeiner als die natürlichen Zahlen (die die assoziative Spezialisierung der Binärbäume sind) ist, und die die passende Informationsmenge zur Definition der höheren Operationen kodiert. Dies sind die so genannten linkskommutativen Binärbäume. Es stellt sich heraus, dass die (linkskommutativen) Binärbäume viele Eigenschaften der natürlichen Zahlen teilen, so z.B. die Assoziativität der Multiplikation (die Operation der 2. Stufe) und eine eindeutige Primzahlzerlegung. Dies motiviert die Frage, ob man die Erweiterungskonstruktionen der Zahlen: „natürliche Zahlen zu gebrochenen Zahlen“ (macht die Multiplikation umkehrbar) „gebrochene Zahlen zu positiven reellen Zahlen“ (macht das Potenzieren umkehrbar und erlaubt Grenzwertbildung) auch ausgehend von (linkskommutativen) Binärbäumen vornehmen kann. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird (neben unzähligen anderen Resultaten) gezeigt, dass die Zahlenbereichserweiterung „natürliche Zahlen zu gebrochenen Zahlen“ auch analog für (linkskommutative) Binärbäume möglich ist. Das Ergebnis dieser Konstruktion sind die Divisionsbinärbäume (bzw. die gebrochenen Bäume). Letztere lassen sich unerwartet in der Form von Brüchen darstellen, sind jedoch als Verallgemeinerung der gebrochenen Zahlen sehr viel komplexer als dieser. (Das kann man live nachprüfen mit dem dafür erstellten Online-Rechner für gebrochene Bäume (auf englisch): http://math.eretrandre.org/cgi-bin/ftc/ftc.pl ) Damit wird ein Programm „baumartige Zahlen“ gestartet, indem es darum geht, auch die Erweiterung „gebrochene Zahlen zu positiven reellen Zahlen“ für die Divisionsbinärbäume (bzw. die gebrochenen Bäume) durchzuführen, wobei die höheren Operationen auf dieser Erweiterung definiert werden könnten und umkehrbar sein müssten. Ob dies wirklich möglich ist, ist derzeit unklar (neben diversen anderen direkt aus der Dissertation sich ergebenden Fragen) und eröffnet damit ein enorm umfangreiches Feld für weitere Forschungen.

T1  - Riesz decompositions for Schrödinger operators on graphs
JF  - Journal of mathematical analysis and applications
N2  - We study superharmonic functions for Schrodinger operators on general weighted graphs. Specifically, we prove two decompositions which both go under the name Riesz decomposition in the literature. The first one decomposes a superharmonic function into a harmonic and a potential part. The second one decomposes a superharmonic function into a sum of superharmonic functions with certain upper bounds given by prescribed superharmonic functions. As application we show a Brelot type theorem.

T1  - Partial clones
JF  - Asian-European journal of mathematics : AEJM
N2  - A set C of operations defined on a nonempty set A is said to be a clone if C is closed under composition of operations and contains all projection mappings. The concept of a clone belongs to the algebraic main concepts and has important applications in Computer Science. A clone can also be regarded as a many-sorted algebra where the sorts are the n-ary operations defined on set A for all natural numbers n >= 1 and the operations are the so-called superposition operations S-m(n) for natural numbers m, n >= 1 and the projection operations as nullary operations. Clones generalize monoids of transformations defined on set A and satisfy three clone axioms. The most important axiom is the superassociative law, a generalization of the associative law. If the superposition operations are partial, i.e. not everywhere defined, instead of the many-sorted clone algebra, one obtains partial many-sorted algebras, the partial clones. Linear terms, linear tree languages or linear formulas form partial clones. In this paper, we give a survey on partial clones and their properties.

This yields a very simple, easy to implement and parallelize algorithm of computational cost O(n(beta+1)) where nis the size of the matrix and O(n(beta)) is the cost of multiplying n x n-matrices, beta is an element of [2, 2.37286). We compare its performance to that of other algorithms and show how it can be used to compute the Euler form of a Riemannian manifold using computer algebra.

T1  - The tunneling effect for a class of difference operators
JF  - Reviews in Mathematical Physics
N2  - We analyze a general class of self-adjoint difference operators H-epsilon = T-epsilon + V-epsilon on l(2)((epsilon Z)(d)), where V-epsilon is a multi-well potential and v(epsilon) is a small parameter. We give a coherent review of our results on tunneling up to new sharp results on the level of complete asymptotic expansions (see [30-35]). Our emphasis is on general ideas and strategy, possibly of interest for a broader range of readers, and less on detailed mathematical proofs. The wells are decoupled by introducing certain Dirichlet operators on regions containing only one potential well. Then the eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian H-epsilon is treated as a small perturbation of these comparison problems. After constructing a Finslerian distance d induced by H-epsilon, we show that Dirichlet eigenfunctions decay exponentially with a rate controlled by this distance to the well. It follows with microlocal techniques that the first n eigenvalues of H-epsilon converge to the first n eigenvalues of the direct sum of harmonic oscillators on R-d located at several wells. In a neighborhood of one well, we construct formal asymptotic expansions of WKB-type for eigenfunctions associated with the low-lying eigenvalues of H-epsilon. These are obtained from eigenfunctions or quasimodes for the operator H-epsilon acting on L-2(R-d), via restriction to the lattice (epsilon Z)(d). Tunneling is then described by a certain interaction matrix, similar to the analysis for the Schrodinger operator (see [22]), the remainder is exponentially small and roughly quadratic compared with the interaction matrix. We give weighted l(2)-estimates for the difference of eigenfunctions of Dirichlet-operators in neighborhoods of the different wells and the associated WKB-expansions at the wells. In the last step, we derive full asymptotic expansions for interactions between two "wells" (minima) of the potential energy, in particular for the discrete tunneling effect. Here we essentially use analysis on phase space, complexified in the momentum variable. These results are as sharp as the classical results for the Schrodinger operator in [22].

N2  - We prove finiteness and diameter bounds for graphs having a positive Ricci-curvature bound in the Bakry–Émery sense. Our first result using only curvature and maximal vertex degree is sharp in the case of hypercubes. The second result depends on an additional dimension bound, but is independent of the vertex degree. In particular, the second result is the first Bonnet–Myers type theorem for unbounded graph Laplacians. Moreover, our results improve diameter bounds from Fathi and Shu (Bernoulli 24(1):672–698, 2018) and Horn et al. (J für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelle’s J), 2017, https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2017-0038) and solve a conjecture from Cushing et al. (Bakry–Émery curvature functions of graphs, 2016).

T1  - On the frequency spectra of the core magnetic field Gauss coefficients
JF  - Physics of the earth and planetary interiors
N2  - From monthly mean observatory data spanning 1957-2014, geomagnetic field secular variation values were calculated by annual differences. Estimates of the spherical harmonic Gauss coefficients of the core field secular variation were then derived by applying a correlation based modelling. Finally, a Fourier transform was applied to the time series of the Gauss coefficients. This process led to reliable temporal spectra of the Gauss coefficients up to spherical harmonic degree 5 or 6, and down to periods as short as 1 or 2 years depending on the coefficient. We observed that a k(-2) slope, where k is the frequency, is an acceptable approximation for these spectra, with possibly an exception for the dipole field. The monthly estimates of the core field secular variation at the observatory sites also show that large and rapid variations of the latter happen. This is an indication that geomagnetic jerks are frequent phenomena and that significant secular variation signals at short time scales - i.e. less than 2 years, could still be extracted from data to reveal an unexplored part of the core dynamics.

N2  - For an arbitrary euclidean field F we introduce a central extension (G(F), Phi) of SL(2, F) admitting a left-ordering and study its algebraic properties. The elements of G(F) are order preserving bijections of the convex hull of Q in F. If F = R then G(F) is isomorphic to the classical universal covering group of the Lie group SL(2, R). Among other results we show that G(F) is a perfect group which possesses a rank 1 cone of exceptional type. We also prove that its centre is an infinite cyclic group and investigate its normal subgroups.

T1  - Convergence tests for transdimensional Markov chains in geoscience imaging
JF  - Mathematical geosciences : the official journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences
N2  - Classic inversion methods adjust a model with a predefined number of parameters to the observed data. With transdimensional inversion algorithms such as the reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (rjMCMC), it is possible to vary this number during the inversion and to interpret the observations in a more flexible way. Geoscience imaging applications use this behaviour to automatically adjust model resolution to the inhomogeneities of the investigated system, while keeping the model parameters on an optimal level. The rjMCMC algorithm produces an ensemble as result, a set of model realizations, which together represent the posterior probability distribution of the investigated problem. The realizations are evolved via sequential updates from a randomly chosen initial solution and converge toward the target posterior distribution of the inverse problem. Up to a point in the chain, the realizations may be strongly biased by the initial model, and must be discarded from the final ensemble. With convergence assessment techniques, this point in the chain can be identified. Transdimensional MCMC methods produce ensembles that are not suitable for classic convergence assessment techniques because of the changes in parameter numbers. To overcome this hurdle, three solutions are introduced to convert model realizations to a common dimensionality while maintaining the statistical characteristics of the ensemble. A scalar, a vector and a matrix representation for models is presented, inferred from tomographic subsurface investigations, and three classic convergence assessment techniques are applied on them. It is shown that appropriately chosen scalar conversions of the models could retain similar statistical ensemble properties as geologic projections created by rasterization.

By the Cauchy problem is meant any boundary value problem for an unknown function u in a domain X with the property that the data on S, if combined with the differential equations in X, allows one to determine all derivatives of u on S by means of functional equations. In the case of real analytic data of the Cauchy problem, the existence of a local solution near S is guaranteed by the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. We discuss a variational setting of the Cauchy problem which always possesses a generalized solution.

T1  - Dubrovin–rings and their connection to Hughes–free skew fields of fractions
T1  - Dubrovinringe und ihre Verbindung zu Hughes-freien Quotientenschiefkörpern
N2  - One method of embedding groups into skew fields was introduced by A. I. Mal'tsev and B. H. Neumann (cf. [18, 19]). If G is an ordered group and F is a skew field, the set F((G)) of formal power series over F in G with well-ordered support forms a skew field into which the group ring F[G] can be embedded. Unfortunately it is not suficient that G is left-ordered since F((G)) is only an F-vector space in this case as there is no natural way to define a multiplication on F((G)). One way to extend the original idea onto left-ordered groups is to examine the endomorphism ring of F((G)) as explored by N. I. Dubrovin (cf. [5, 6]). It is possible to embed any crossed product ring F[G; η, σ] into the endomorphism ring of F((G)) such that each non-zero element of F[G; η, σ] defines an automorphism of F((G)) (cf. [5, 10]). Thus, the rational closure of F[G; η, σ] in the endomorphism ring of F((G)), which we will call the Dubrovin-ring of F[G; η, σ], is a potential candidate for a skew field of fractions of F[G; η, σ]. The methods of N. I. Dubrovin allowed to show that specific classes of groups can be embedded into a skew field. For example, N. I. Dubrovin contrived some special criteria, which are applicable on the universal covering group of SL(2, R). These methods have also been explored by J. Gräter and R. P. Sperner (cf. [10]) as well as N.H. Halimi and T. Ito (cf. [11]). Furthermore, it is of interest to know if skew fields of fractions are unique. For example, left and right Ore domains have unique skew fields of fractions (cf. [2]). This is not the general case as for example the free group with 2 generators can be embedded into non-isomorphic skew fields of fractions (cf. [12]). It seems likely that Ore domains are the most general case for which unique skew fields of fractions exist. One approach to gain uniqueness is to restrict the search to skew fields of fractions with additional properties. I. Hughes has defined skew fields of fractions of crossed product rings F[G; η, σ] with locally indicable G which fulfill a special condition. These are called Hughes-free skew fields of fractions and I. Hughes has proven that they are unique if they exist [13, 14]. This thesis will connect the ideas of N. I. Dubrovin and I. Hughes. The first chapter contains the basic terminology and concepts used in this thesis. We present methods provided by N. I. Dubrovin such as the complexity of elements in rational closures and special properties of endomorphisms of the vector space of formal power series F((G)). To combine the ideas of N.I. Dubrovin and I. Hughes we introduce Conradian left-ordered groups of maximal rank and examine their connection to locally indicable groups. Furthermore we provide notations for crossed product rings, skew fields of fractions as well as Dubrovin-rings and prove some technical statements which are used in later parts. The second chapter focuses on Hughes-free skew fields of fractions and their connection to Dubrovin-rings. For that purpose we introduce series representations to interpret elements of Hughes-free skew fields of fractions as skew formal Laurent series. This 1 Introduction allows us to prove that for Conradian left-ordered groups G of maximal rank the statement "F[G; η, σ] has a Hughes-free skew field of fractions" implies "The Dubrovin ring of F [G; η, σ] is a skew field". We will also prove the reverse and apply the results to give a new prove of Theorem 1 in [13]. Furthermore we will show how to extend injective ring homomorphisms of some crossed product rings onto their Hughes-free skew fields of fractions. At last we will be able to answer the open question whether Hughes--free skew fields are strongly Hughes-free (cf. [17, page 53]).
N2  - In dieser Arbeit beschäftigen wir uns mit Quotientenschiefkörpern von verschränkten Produkten F [G; η, σ], wobei G eine Gruppe und F ein Schiefkörper ist. Eine Methode Gruppen in Schiefkörper einzubetten stammt von A. I. Mal’tsev und B. H. Neumann. Ist G eine beidseitig geordnete Gruppe, so lässt sich die Menge der formalen Potenzreihen F ((G)) über F in G mit wohlgeordnetem Träger als Schiefkörper interpretieren. In diesen lässt sich jedes verschränkte Produkt F [G; η, σ] einbetten. Möchte man die Klasse der einzubettenden Gruppen erweitern, so bieten sich links–geordnete Gruppen an. In diesem Fall hat F ((G)) keine natürliche Ringstruktur, aber man kann nutzen, dass F ((G)) ein rechter F–Vektorraum ist und seinen Endomorphismenring untersuchen. Jedes Verschränkte Produkt F [G; η, σ] lässt sich derart in den Endomorphismenring einbetten, dass die zugehörigen von Null verschiedenen Endomorphismen Automorphismen sind. Der rationale Abschluss von F [G; η, σ] in End(F ((G))), den wir Dubrovinring von F [G; η, σ] nennen, ist somit ein potentieller Quotientenschiefkörper von F [G; η, σ]. Neben der Existenz von Quotientenschiefkörpern ist deren Eindeutigkeit (bis auf Isomorphie) von Interesse. Im Gegensatz zum kommutativen Fall sind Quotientenschiefkörper im Allgemeinen nicht eindeutig. So lässt sich beispielsweise die freie Gruppe mit zwei Erzeugenden in nicht–isomorphe Quotientenschiefkörper einbetten. Eine große Klasse an Ringen, die eindeutige Quotientenschiefkörper besitzen, sind Ore–Bereiche. Vermutlich lässt sich diese Klasse nicht erweitern, ohne zusätzliche Eigenschaften der Quotientenschiefkörper zu verlangen. Eine solche Eigenschaft, im Folgenden Hughes–frei genannt, wurde von I. Hughes vorgeschlagen. Er konnte beweisen, dass Hughes–freie Quotientenschiefkörper eindeutig sind, wenn sie existieren. In dieser Arbeit verbinden wir die Ideen von I. Hughes und N. I. Dubrovin. Wir zeigen, dass die Elemente von Hughes–freien Quotientenschiefkörpern als formale schiefe Laurent–Reihen dargestellt werden können und dass diese Darstellungen in gewisser Weise eindeutig sind. Dieses Ergebnis nutzen wir um zu beweisen, dass die Aussagen “F [G; η, σ] besitzt einen Hughes–freien Quotientenschiefkörper” und “Der Dubrovinring von F [G; η, σ] ist ein Schiefkörper” äquivalent sind, wenn G eine links–geordnete Gruppe von Conrad–Typ mit maximalem Rang ist. Wir stellen den nötigen Begriffsapparat zur Verfügung. Dieser basiert vorwiegend auf den Arbeiten von N. I.

T1  - Quantum field theories on categories fibered in groupoids
T2  - Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe
N2  - We introduce an abstract concept of quantum field theory on categories fibered in groupoids over the category of spacetimes. This provides us with a general and flexible framework to study quantum field theories defined on spacetimes with extra geometric structures such as bundles, connections and spin structures. Using right Kan extensions, we can assign to any such theory an ordinary quantum field theory defined on the category of spacetimes and we shall clarify under which conditions it satisfies the axioms of locally covariant quantum field theory. The same constructions can be performed in a homotopy theoretic framework by using homotopy right Kan extensions, which allows us to obtain first toy-models of homotopical quantum field theories resembling some aspects of gauge theories.

N2  - In this paper, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for Bruck-Reilly and generalized Bruck-Reilly ∗-extensions of arbitrary monoids to be regular, coregular and strongly π-inverse. These semigroup classes have applications in various field of mathematics, such as matrix theory, discrete mathematics and p-adic analysis (especially in operator theory). In addition, while regularity and coregularity have so many applications in the meaning of boundaries (again in operator theory), inverse monoids and Bruck-Reilly extensions contain a mixture fixed-point results of algebra, topology and geometry within the purposes of this journal.

T1  - An algebraic formulation of the locality principle in renormalisation
JF  - European Journal of Mathematics
N2  - We study the mathematical structure underlying the concept of locality which lies at the heart of classical and quantum field theory, and develop a machinery used to preserve locality during the renormalisation procedure. Viewing renormalisation in the framework of Connes and Kreimer as the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation of characters on a Hopf algebra with values in a Rota-Baxter algebra, we build locality variants of these algebraic structures, leading to a locality variant of the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation. This provides an algebraic formulation of the conservation of locality while renormalising. As an application in the context of the Euler-Maclaurin formula on lattice cones, we renormalise the exponential generating function which sums over the lattice points in a lattice cone. As a consequence, for a suitable multivariate regularisation, renormalisation from the algebraic Birkhoff factorisation amounts to composition by a projection onto holomorphic multivariate germs.

JF  - Siberian Mathematical Journal
N2  - The study of the Cauchy problem for solutions of the heat equation in a cylindrical domain with data on the lateral surface by the Fourier method raises the problem of calculating the inverse Laplace transform of the entire function cos root z. This problem has no solution in the standard theory of the Laplace transform. We give an explicit formula for the inverse Laplace transform of cos root z using the theory of analytic functionals. This solution suits well to efficiently develop the regularization of solutions to Cauchy problems for parabolic equations with data on noncharacteristic surfaces.

T1  - Conditioning analysis for discrete Helmholtz problems
JF  - Computers and mathematics with applications : an international journal
N2  - In this paper, we examine conditioning of the discretization of the Helmholtz problem. Although the discrete Helmholtz problem has been studied from different perspectives, to the best of our knowledge, there is no conditioning analysis for it. We aim to fill this gap in the literature. We propose a novel method in 1D to observe the near-zero eigenvalues of a symmetric indefinite matrix. Standard classification of ill-conditioning based on the matrix condition number is not true for the discrete Helmholtz problem. We relate the ill-conditioning of the discretization of the Helmholtz problem with the condition number of the matrix. We carry out analytical conditioning analysis in 1D and extend our observations to 2D with numerical observations. We examine several discretizations. We find different regions in which the condition number of the problem shows different characteristics. We also explain the general behavior of the solutions in these regions.

T1  - Decay rates for the quadratic and super-quadratic tilt-excess of integral varifolds
JF  - Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications NoDEA
N2  - This paper concerns integral varifolds of arbitrary dimension in an open subset of Euclidean space satisfying integrability conditions on their first variation. Firstly, the study of pointwise power decay rates almost everywhere of the quadratic tilt-excess is completed by establishing the precise decay rate for two-dimensional integral varifolds of locally bounded first variation. In order to obtain the exact decay rate, a coercive estimate involving a height-excess quantity measured in Orlicz spaces is established. Moreover, counter-examples to pointwise power decay rates almost everywhere of the super-quadratic tilt-excess are obtained. These examples are optimal in terms of the dimension of the varifold and the exponent of the integrability condition in most cases, for example if the varifold is not two-dimensional. These examples also demonstrate that within the scale of Lebesgue spaces no local higher integrability of the second fundamental form, of an at least two-dimensional curvature varifold, may be deduced from boundedness of its generalised mean curvature vector. Amongst the tools are Cartesian products of curvature varifolds.

T1  - Asymptotic expansions at nonsymmetric cuspidal points
JF  - Mathematical notes
N2  - We study the asymptotics of solutions to the Dirichlet problem in a domain X subset of R3 whose boundary contains a singular point O. In a small neighborhood of this point, the domain has the form {z > root x(2) + y(4)}, i.e., the origin is a nonsymmetric conical point at the boundary. So far, the behavior of solutions to elliptic boundary-value problems has not been studied sufficiently in the case of nonsymmetric singular points. This problem was posed by V.A. Kondrat'ev in 2000. We establish a complete asymptotic expansion of solutions near the singular point.

T1  - An interactive platform to simulate dynamic pricing competition on online marketplaces
T2  - 2017 IEEE 21st International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference (EDOC)
N2  - E-commerce marketplaces are highly dynamic with constant competition. While this competition is challenging for many merchants, it also provides plenty of opportunities, e.g., by allowing them to automatically adjust prices in order to react to changing market situations. For practitioners however, testing automated pricing strategies is time-consuming and potentially hazardously when done in production. Researchers, on the other side, struggle to study how pricing strategies interact under heavy competition. As a consequence, we built an open continuous time framework to simulate dynamic pricing competition called Price Wars. The microservice-based architecture provides a scalable platform for large competitions with dozens of merchants and a large random stream of consumers. Our platform stores each event in a distributed log. This allows to provide different performance measures enabling users to compare profit and revenue of various repricing strategies in real-time. For researchers, price trajectories are shown which ease evaluating mutual price reactions of competing strategies. Furthermore, merchants can access historical marketplace data and apply machine learning. By providing a set of customizable, artificial merchants, users can easily simulate both simple rule-based strategies as well as sophisticated data-driven strategies using demand learning to optimize their pricing strategies.

T1  - Kalman filter and its modern extensions for the continuous-time nonlinear filtering problem
JF  - Journal of dynamic systems measurement and control
N2  - This paper is concerned with the filtering problem in continuous time. Three algorithmic solution approaches for this problem are reviewed: (i) the classical Kalman-Bucy filter, which provides an exact solution for the linear Gaussian problem; (ii) the ensemble Kalman-Bucy filter (EnKBF), which is an approximate filter and represents an extension of the Kalman-Bucy filter to nonlinear problems; and (iii) the feedback particle filter (FPF), which represents an extension of the EnKBF and furthermore provides for a consistent solution in the general nonlinear, non-Gaussian case. The common feature of the three algorithms is the gain times error formula to implement the update step (to account for conditioning due to the observations) in the filter. In contrast to the commonly used sequential Monte Carlo methods, the EnKBF and FPF avoid the resampling of the particles in the importance sampling update step. Moreover, the feedback control structure provides for error correction potentially leading to smaller simulation variance and improved stability properties. The paper also discusses the issue of nonuniqueness of the filter update formula and formulates a novel approximation algorithm based on ideas from optimal transport and coupling of measures. Performance of this and other algorithms is illustrated for a numerical example.

T1  - Long-Time stability and accuracy of the ensemble Kalman-Bucy Filter for fully observed processes and small measurement noise
JF  - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems
N2  - The ensemble Kalman filter has become a popular data assimilation technique in the geosciences. However, little is known theoretically about its long term stability and accuracy. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of an ensemble Kalman-Bucy filter applied to continuous-time filtering problems. We derive mean field limiting equations as the ensemble size goes to infinity as well as uniform-in-time accuracy and stability results for finite ensemble sizes. The later results require that the process is fully observed and that the measurement noise is small. We also demonstrate that our ensemble Kalman-Bucy filter is consistent with the classic Kalman-Bucy filter for linear systems and Gaussian processes. We finally verify our theoretical findings for the Lorenz-63 system.

T1  - Thermophysical modelling and parameter estimation of small solar system bodies via data assimilation
JF  - Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
N2  - Deriving thermophysical properties such as thermal inertia from thermal infrared observations provides useful insights into the structure of the surface material on planetary bodies. The estimation of these properties is usually done by fitting temperature variations calculated by thermophysical models to infrared observations. For multiple free model parameters, traditional methods such as least-squares fitting or Markov chain Monte Carlo methods become computationally too expensive. Consequently, the simultaneous estimation of several thermophysical parameters, together with their corresponding uncertainties and correlations, is often not computationally feasible and the analysis is usually reduced to fitting one or two parameters. Data assimilation (DA) methods have been shown to be robust while sufficiently accurate and computationally affordable even for a large number of parameters. This paper will introduce a standard sequential DA method, the ensemble square root filter, for thermophysical modelling of asteroid surfaces. This method is used to re-analyse infrared observations of the MARA instrument, which measured the diurnal temperature variation of a single boulder on the surface of near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The thermal inertia is estimated to be 295 +/- 18 Jm(-2) K-1 s(-1/2), while all five free parameters of the initial analysis are varied and estimated simultaneously. Based on this thermal inertia estimate the thermal conductivity of the boulder is estimated to be between 0.07 and 0.12,Wm(-1) K-1 and the porosity to be between 0.30 and 0.52. For the first time in thermophysical parameter derivation, correlations and uncertainties of all free model parameters are incorporated in the estimation procedure that is more than 5000 times more efficient than a comparable parameter sweep.

T1  - Second-order accurate ensemble transform particle filters
JF  - SIAM journal on scientific computing
N2  - Particle filters (also called sequential Monte Carlo methods) are widely used for state and parameter estimation problems in the context of nonlinear evolution equations. The recently proposed ensemble transform particle filter (ETPF) [S. Reich, SIAM T. Sci. Comput., 35, (2013), pp. A2013-A2014[ replaces the resampling step of a standard particle filter by a linear transformation which allows for a hybridization of particle filters with ensemble Kalman filters and renders the resulting hybrid filters applicable to spatially extended systems. However, the linear transformation step is computationally expensive and leads to an underestimation of the ensemble spread for small and moderate ensemble sizes. Here we address both of these shortcomings by developing second order accurate extensions of the ETPF. These extensions allow one in particular to replace the exact solution of a linear transport problem by its Sinkhorn approximation. It is also demonstrated that the nonlinear ensemble transform filter arises as a special case of our general framework. We illustrate the performance of the second-order accurate filters for the chaotic Lorenz-63 and Lorenz-96 models and a dynamic scene-viewing model. The numerical results for the Lorenz-63 and Lorenz-96 models demonstrate that significant accuracy improvements can be achieved in comparison to a standard ensemble Kalman filter and the ETPF for small to moderate ensemble sizes. The numerical results for the scene-viewing model reveal, on the other hand, that second-order corrections can lead to statistically inconsistent samples from the posterior parameter distribution.

T1  - Gaussian loop- and Pólya processes : a point process approach
T1  - Gaußsche Loop- and Pólya-Prozesse : ein Zugang via Punktprozessen
N2  - This thesis considers on the one hand the construction of point processes via conditional intensities, motivated by the partial Integration of the Campbell measure of a point process. Under certain assumptions on the intensity the existence of such a point process is shown. A fundamental example turns out to be the Pólya sum process, whose conditional intensity is a generalisation of the Pólya urn dynamics. A Cox process representation for that point process is shown. A further process considered is a Poisson process of Gaussian loops, which represents a noninteracting particle system derived from the discussion of indistinguishable particles. Both processes are used to define particle systems locally, for which thermodynamic limits are determined.
N2  - Betrachtet wird zum einen die Konstruktion von Punktprozessen mittels bedingter Intensitäten, motivert durch die partielle Integration des Campbell-Maßes eines Punktprozesses, die gerade bedingte Intensitäten liefert. Unter bestimmten Annahmen an die Intensitäten wird gezeigt, dass ein solcher Punktprozess existiert. Als ein fundamentaler Vertreter stellt sich der Pólyasche Summenprozess heraus, aus einer Verallgemeinerung der Dynamik der Pólyaschen Urne hervorgeht. Fuer ihn werden u.a. eine Darstellung als Cox-Prozess gezeigt. Mit einem Poissonprozess von Gaußschen Loops wird ein nicht wechselwirkendes Teilchensystem betrachtet, das aus der Diskussion von Systemen ununterscheidbarer Teilchen abgeleitet ist. Mit beiden Prozessen werden jeweils lokal Teilchensysteme konstuiert, fuer die die thermodynamischen Limiten identifiziert werden.

T1  - Reciprocal processes : a stochastic analysis approach
N2  - Reciprocal processes, whose concept can be traced back to E. Schrödinger, form a class of stochastic processes constructed as mixture of bridges, that satisfy a time Markov field property. We discuss here a new unifying approach to characterize several types of reciprocal processes via duality formulae on path spaces: The case of reciprocal processes with continuous paths associated to Brownian diffusions and the case of pure jump reciprocal processes associated to counting processes are treated. This presentation is based on joint works with M. Thieullen, R. Murr and C. Léonard.

T1  - Evolutive two-level population process and large population approximations
N2  - We are interested in modeling the Darwinian evolution of a population described by two levels of biological parameters: individuals characterized by an heritable phenotypic trait submitted to mutation and natural selection and cells in these individuals influencing their ability to consume resources and to reproduce. Our models are rooted in the microscopic description of a random (discrete) population of individuals characterized by one or several adaptive traits and cells characterized by their type. The population is modeled as a stochastic point process whose generator captures the probabilistic dynamics over continuous time of birth, mutation and death for individuals and birth and death for cells. The interaction between individuals (resp. between cells) is described by a competition between individual traits (resp. between cell types). We are looking for tractable large population approximations. By combining various scalings on population size, birth and death rates and mutation step, the single microscopic model is shown to lead to contrasting nonlinear macroscopic limits of different nature: deterministic approximations, in the form of ordinary, integro- or partial differential equations, or probabilistic ones, like stochastic partial differential equations or superprocesses.

T1  - Path integrals on manifolds with boundary and their asymptotic expansions
T1  - Pfadintegrale auf Mannigfaltigkeiten mit Rand und ihre asymptotischen Entwicklungen
N2  - It is "scientific folklore" coming from physical heuristics that solutions to the heat equation on a Riemannian manifold can be represented by a path integral. However, the problem with such path integrals is that they are notoriously ill-defined. One way to make them rigorous (which is often applied in physics) is finite-dimensional approximation, or time-slicing approximation: Given a fine partition of the time interval into small subintervals, one restricts the integration domain to paths that are geodesic on each subinterval of the partition. These finite-dimensional integrals are well-defined, and the (infinite-dimensional) path integral then is defined as the limit of these (suitably normalized) integrals, as the mesh of the partition tends to zero.
In this thesis, we show that indeed, solutions to the heat equation on a general compact Riemannian manifold with boundary are given by such time-slicing path integrals. Here we consider the heat equation for general Laplace type operators, acting on sections of a vector bundle. We also obtain similar results for the heat kernel, although in this case, one has to restrict to metrics satisfying a certain smoothness condition at the boundary. One of the most important manipulations one would like to do with path integrals is taking their asymptotic expansions; in the case of the heat kernel, this is the short time asymptotic expansion. In order to use time-slicing approximation here, one needs the approximation to be uniform in the time parameter. We show that this is possible by giving strong error estimates.
Finally, we apply these results to obtain short time asymptotic expansions of the heat kernel also in degenerate cases (i.e. at the cut locus). Furthermore, our results allow to relate the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel to a formal asymptotic expansion of the infinite-dimensional path integral, which gives relations between geometric quantities on the manifold and on the loop space. In particular, we show that the lowest order term in the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel is essentially given by the Fredholm determinant of the Hessian of the energy functional. We also investigate how this relates to the zeta-regularized determinant of the Jacobi operator along minimizing geodesics.
N2  - Es ist "wissenschaftliche Folklore", abgeleitet von der physikalischen Anschauung, dass Lösungen der Wärmeleitungsgleichung auf einer riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit als Pfadintegrale dargestellt werden können. Das Problem mit Pfadintegralen ist allerdings, dass schon deren Definition Mathematiker vor gewisse Probleme stellt. Eine Möglichkeit, Pfadintegrale rigoros zu definieren ist endlich-dimensionale Approximation, oder time-slicing-Approximation: Für eine gegebene Unterteilung des Zeitintervals in kleine Teilintervalle schränkt man den Integrationsbereich auf diejenigen Pfade ein, die auf jedem Teilintervall geodätisch sind. Diese endlichdimensionalen Integrale sind wohldefiniert, und man definiert das (unendlichdimensionale) Pfadintegral als den Limes dieser (passend normierten) Integrale, wenn die Feinheit der Unterteilung gegen Null geht.
In dieser Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass Lösungen der Wärmeleitungsgleichung auf einer allgemeinen riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit tatsächlich durch eine solche endlichdimensionale Approximation gegeben sind. Hierbei betrachten wir die Wärmeleitungsgleichung für allgemeine Operatoren von Laplace-Typ, die auf Schnitten in Vektorbündeln wirken. Wir zeigen auch ähnliche Resultate für den Wärmekern, wobei wir uns allerdings auf Metriken einschränken müssen, die eine gewisse Glattheitsbedingung am Rand erfüllen.
Eine der wichtigsten Manipulationen, die man an Pfadintegralen vornehmen möchte, ist das Bilden ihrer asymptotischen Entwicklungen; in Falle des Wärmekerns ist dies die Kurzzeitasymptotik. Um die endlich-dimensionale Approximation hier nutzen zu können, ist es nötig, dass die Approximation uniform im Zeitparameter ist. Dies kann in der Tat erreicht werden; zu diesem Zweck geben wir starke Fehlerabschätzungen an.
Schließlich wenden wir diese Resultate an, um die Kurzzeitasymptotik des Wärmekerns (auch im degenerierten Fall, d.h. am Schittort) herzuleiten. Unsere Resultate machen es außerdem möglich, die asymptotische Entwicklung des Wärmekerns mit einer formalen asymptotischen Entwicklung der unendlichdimensionalen Pfadintegrale in Verbindung zu bringen. Auf diese Weise erhält man Beziehungen zwischen geometrischen Größen der zugrundeliegenden Mannigfaltigkeit und solchen des Pfadraumes. Insbesondere zeigen wir, dass der Term niedrigster Ordnung in der asymptotischen Entwicklung des Wärmekerns im Wesentlichen durch die Fredholm-Determinante der Hesseschen des Energie-Funktionals gegeben ist. Weiterhin untersuchen wir die Verbindung zur zeta-regularisierten Determinante des Jakobi-Operators entlang von minimierenden Geodätischen.

T1  - Relating diameter and mean curvature for varifolds
T1  - Relativer Diameter und mittlere Krümmung für Varifaltigkeiten
N2  - The main results of this thesis are formulated in a class of surfaces (varifolds) generalizing closed and connected smooth submanifolds of Euclidean space which allows singularities. Given an indecomposable varifold with dimension at least two in some Euclidean space such that the first variation is locally bounded, the total variation is absolutely continuous with respect to the weight measure, the density of the weight measure is at least one outside a set of weight measure zero and the generalized mean curvature is locally summable to a natural power (dimension of the varifold minus one) with respect to the weight measure. The thesis presents an improved estimate of the set where the lower density is small in terms of the one dimensional Hausdorff measure. Moreover, if the support of the weight measure is compact, then the intrinsic diameter with respect to the support of the weight measure is estimated in terms of the generalized mean curvature. This estimate is in analogy to the diameter control for closed connected manifolds smoothly immersed in some Euclidean space of Peter Topping. Previously, it was not known whether the hypothesis in this thesis implies that two points in the support of the weight measure have finite geodesic distance.
N2  - Die wichtigsten Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit sind formuliert für eine Klasse von Oberflächen (Varifaltigkeiten), welche geschlossene glatte Untermannigfaltigkeiten des euklidischen Raums verallgemeinern und Singularitäten erlauben. Gegeben sei eine mindestens zwei-dimensionale unzerlegbare Varifaltigkeit im euklidischen Raum, sodass die erste Variation lokal beschränkt ist, die totale Variation absolut stetig bezüglich dem Gewichtsmaß ist, die Dichte des Gewichtsmaßes außerhalb einer Nullmenge mindesten eins ist, und die verallgemeinerte mittlere Krümmung bezüglich dem Gewichtsmaß lokal summierbar zu einer natürlichen Potenz (Dimension der Varifaltigkeit minus eins) ist. Es wird die Menge, wo die untere Dichte klein ist, durch das ein-dimensionale Hausdorff-Maß abgeschätzt. Das Ergebnis ist eine neue, stark verbesserte untere Dichte-Schranke. Ist der Träger des Gewichtsmaßes kompakt, so wird der intrinsische Diameter des Trägers des Gewichtsmaßes abgeschätzt durch ein Integral der verallgemeinerten mittleren Krümmung. Diese Ungleichung ist analog zu der Ungleichung von Peter Topping für geschlossene zusammenhängende Mannigfaltigkeit, welche durch eine glatte Immersion in den euklidischen Raum eingebettet sind. Bisher war nicht bekannt, dass die oben genannten Annahmen an die Varifaltigkeit implizieren, dass der geodätische Abstand zweier Punkte aus dem Träger des Gewichtsmaßes endlich ist.

T1  - An open mapping theorem for the Navier-Stokes equations
N2  - We consider the Navier-Stokes equations in the layer R^n x [0,T] over R^n with finite T > 0. Using the standard fundamental solutions of the Laplace operator and the heat operator, we reduce the Navier-Stokes equations to a nonlinear Fredholm equation of the form (I+K) u = f, where K is a compact continuous operator in anisotropic normed Hölder spaces weighted at the point at infinity with respect to the space variables. Actually, the weight function is included to provide a finite energy estimate for solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for all t in [0,T]. On using the particular properties of the de Rham complex we conclude that the Fréchet derivative (I+K)' is continuously invertible at each point of the Banach space under consideration and the map I+K is open and injective in the space. In this way the Navier-Stokes equations prove to induce an open one-to-one mapping in the scale of Hölder spaces.

T1  - Convergence rates of kernel conjugate gradient for random design regression
N2  - We prove statistical rates of convergence for kernel-based least squares regression from i.i.d. data using a conjugate gradient algorithm, where regularization against overfitting is obtained by early stopping. This method is related to Kernel Partial Least Squares, a regression method that combines supervised dimensionality reduction with least squares projection. Following the setting introduced in earlier related literature, we study so-called "fast convergence rates" depending on the regularity of the target regression function (measured by a source condition in terms of the kernel integral operator) and on the effective dimensionality of the data mapped into the kernel space. We obtain upper bounds, essentially matching known minimax lower bounds, for the L^2 (prediction) norm as well as for the stronger Hilbert norm, if the true
regression function belongs to the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. If the latter assumption is not fulfilled, we obtain similar convergence rates for appropriate norms, provided additional unlabeled data are available.

N2  - In this paper we analyse semimartingale properties of a class of Gaussian periodic processes, called convoluted Brownian motions, obtained by convolution between a deterministic function and a Brownian motion. A classical
example in this class is the periodic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We compute their characteristics and show that in general, they are neither
Markovian nor satisfy a time-Markov field property. Nevertheless, by enlargement
of filtration and/or addition of a one-dimensional component, one can in some case recover the Markovianity. We treat exhaustively the case of the bidimensional trigonometric convoluted Brownian motion and the higher-dimensional monomial convoluted Brownian motion.

T1  - Tests zur Modellspezifikation in der nichtlinearen Regression
N2  - Als Grundlage vieler statistischer Verfahren wird der Prozess der Entstehung von Daten modelliert, um dann weitere Schätz- und Testverfahren anzuwenden. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, wie diese Spezifikation für parametrische Modelle selbst getestet werden kann. In Erweiterung bestehender Verfahren werden Tests mit festem Kern eingeführt und ihre asymptotischen Eigenschaften werden analysiert. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Bestimmung der kritischen Werte mit mehreren Stichprobenwiederholungsverfahren möglich ist. Von diesen ist eine neue Monte-Carlo-Approximation besonders wichtig, da sie die Komplexität der Berechnung deutlich verringern kann. Ein bedingter Kleinste-Quadrate-Schätzer für nichtlineare parametrische Modelle wird definiert und seine wesentlichen asymptotischen Eigenschaften werden hergeleitet. Sämtliche Versionen der Tests und alle neuen Konzepte wurden in Simulationsstudien untersucht, deren wichtigste Resultate präsentiert werden. Die praktische Anwendbarkeit der Testverfahren wird an einem Datensatz zur Produktwahl dargelegt, der mit multinomialen Logit-Modellen analysiert werden soll.
N2  - The data generating process often is modeled as a basis for many subsequent statistical estimation and testing procedures. In this work the question is studied, how this specification of parametric models itself can be tested. In generalization of existing methods, tests with fixed kernel are introduced and their asymptotics are analyzed. It is shown that the determination of critical values is possible using several resampling procedures. Of these a new Monte-Carlo-approximation is of special importance, since it can reduce the complexity of calculation substantially. A conditional least squares estimator for nonlinear models is defined and its essential asymptotic properties are derived. All versions of the tests and all new concepts were studied in simulation studies and the most important results are presented. The applicability of the tests is demonstrated with a dataset on product choice that is to be analyzed with multinomial logit models.

Dabei werden fachliche Anforderungen, Irritationsmomente und das durch die Aufgabe transportierte Bild vom jeweiligen Fach ebenso erfasst wie Momente, die man eher als Testfähigkeit bezeichnen würde.Am Beispiel einer TIMSS-Aufgabe wird diskutiert, dass das von den Testerstellern benutzte theoretische Konstrukt kaum geeignet ist, nachhaltig zu beschreiben, was eine Aufgabe misst.

With structural or objective hermeneutics, this article introduces a methodology capable of discerning the various dimensions of skills required for a particular task. Not only does this approach allow for the recognition of the technical requirements of the task, its off-putting factors and the image of the subject conveyed. The methodology is also able to locate the elements addressing the kind of skill that can more accurately be clas-sified as 'test ability'. Focusing on an example selected from a TIMSS aptitude test, the discussion seeks to de-monstrate that the theoretical construction employed in setting the test is hardly suited to define with any sense of permanence what is measured by each task.

They act on the square summable functions on the lattice (epsilon Z)^d. We start showing the validity of an harmonic approximation and construct WKB-solutions at the wells. Then we construct a Finslerian distance d induced by H and show that short integral curves are geodesics and d gives the rate for the exponential decay of Dirichlet eigenfunctions. In terms of this distance, we give sharp estimates for the interaction between the wells and construct the interaction matrix.

T1  - Particle distribution from spectral Mie-scattering: kernel representation and singular-value spectrum
N2  - This paper deals with the Mie scattering kernels for multi-spectral data. The kernels may be represented in form of power series. Furthermore, the singular-value spectrum and the degree of ill-posedness in dependence on the refractive index of the particles are numerically approximated. A special hybrid regularization technique allows us to determine via inversion the particle distributions of different types.

T1  - Eta-invariant and Pontrjagin duality in K-theory
N2  - The topological significance of the spectral Atiyah-Patodi-Singer η-invariant is investigated. We show that twice the fractional part of the invariant is computed by the linking pairing in K-theory with the orientation bundle of the manifold. The Pontrjagin duality implies the nondegeneracy of the linking form. An example of a nontrivial fractional part for an even-order operator is presented.

T1  - Isometric properties of the Hankel Transformation in weighted sobolev spaces
N2  - It is shown that the Hankel transformation Hsub(v) acts in a class of weighted Sobolev spaces. Especially, the isometric mapping property of Hsub(v) which holds on L²(IRsub(+),rdr) is extended to spaces of arbitrary Sobolev order. The novelty in the approach consists in using techniques developed by B.-W. Schulze and others to treat the half-line Rsub(+) as a manifold with a conical singularity at r = 0. This is achieved by pointing out a connection between the Hankel transformation and the Mellin transformation.The procedure proposed leads at the same time to a short proof of the Hankel inversion formula. An application to the existence and higher regularity of solutions, including their asymptotics, to the 1-1-dimensional edge-degenerated wave equation is given.

T1  - Optimal factorization of Muckenhoupt weights
N2  - Peter Jones' theorem on the factorization of Ap weights is sharpened for weights with bounds near 1, allowing the factorization to be performed continuously near the limiting, unweighted case. When 1 < p < infinite and omega is an Ap weight with bound Ap(omega) = 1 + epsilon, it is shown that there exist Asub1 weights u, v such that both the formula omega = uv(1-p) and the estimates A1 (u), A1 (v) = 1 + Omikron (√epsilon) hold. The square root in these estimates is also proven to be the correct asymptotic power as epsilon -> 0.

T1  - On the holomorphic solution of non-linear totally characteristic equations
N2  - The paper deals with a non-linear singular partial differential equation: (E) t∂/∂t = F(t, x, u, ∂u/∂x) in the holomorphic category. When (E) is of Fuchsian type, the existence of the unique holomorphic solution was established by Gérard-Tahara [2]. In this paper, under the assumption that (E) is of totally characteristic type, the authors give a sufficient condition for (E) to have a unique holomorphic solution. The result is extended to higher order case.

Though quite different in their definition, we show that these two pseudodifferential calculi basically contain the same operators.

Moreover, the behaviour of representing analytic functions near singular points is investigated.

T1  - The predictability problem
T1  - Das Vorhersagbarkeitsproblem
N2  - Wir versuchen herauszufinden, ob das subjektive Maß der Cloze-Vorhersagbarkeit mit der Kombination objektiver Maße (semantische und n-gram-Maße) geschätzt werden kann, die auf den statistischen Eigenschaften von Textkorpora beruhen. Die semantischen Maße werden entweder durch Abfragen von Internet-Suchmaschinen oder durch die Anwendung der Latent Semantic Analysis gebildet, während die n-gram-Wortmaße allein auf den Ergebnissen von Internet-Suchmaschinen basieren. Weiterhin untersuchen wir die Rolle der Cloze-Vorhersagbarkeit in SWIFT, einem Modell der Blickkontrolle, und wägen ab, ob andere Parameter den der Vorhersagbarkeit ersetzen können. Unsere Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass ein computationales Modell, welches Vorhersagbarkeitswerte berechnet, nicht nur Maße beachten muss, die die Relatiertheit eines Wortes zum Kontext darstellen; das Vorhandensein eines Maßes bezüglich der Nicht-Relatiertheit ist von ebenso großer Bedeutung. Obwohl hier jedoch nur Relatiertheits-Maße zur Verfügung stehen, sollte SWIFT ebensogute Ergebnisse liefern, wenn wir Cloze-Vorhersagbarkeit mit unseren Maßen ersetzen.
N2  - We try to determine whether it is possible to approximate the subjective Cloze predictability measure with two types of objective measures, semantic and word n-gram measures, based on the statistical properties of text corpora. The semantic measures are constructed either by querying Internet search engines or by applying Latent Semantic Analysis, while the word n-gram measures solely depend on the results of Internet search engines. We also analyse the role of Cloze predictability in the SWIFT eye movement model, and evaluate whether other parameters might be able to take the place of predictability. Our results suggest that a computational model that generates predictability values not only needs to use measures that can determine the relatedness of a word to its context; the presence of measures that assert unrelatedness is just as important. In spite of the fact, however, that we only have similarity measures, we predict that SWIFT should perform just as well when we replace Cloze predictability with our measures.

T1  - The evolution equation for closed magnetic geodesics
T1  - Die Evolutionsgleichung für geschlossene magnetische Geodäten
N2  - Orbits of charged particles under the effect of a magnetic field are mathematically described by magnetic geodesics. They appear as solutions to a system of (nonlinear) ordinary differential equations of second order. But we are only interested in periodic solutions. To this end, we study the corresponding system of (nonlinear) parabolic equations for closed magnetic geodesics and, as a main result, eventually prove the existence of long time solutions. As generalization one can consider a system of elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations whose solutions describe the orbits of closed p-branes under the effect of a "generalized physical force". For the corresponding evolution equation, which is a system of parabolic nonlinear partial differential equations associated to the elliptic PDE, we can establish existence of short time solutions.

Sie ergeben sich als Lösungen eines Systems (nichtlinearer) gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen zweiter Ordnung. Wir interessieren uns ausschließich für periodische Lösungen. Dazu studieren wir das zugehörige System (nichtlinearer) parabolischer Differentialgleichungen für geschlossene magnetische Geodäten. Als Hauptresultat beweisen wir die Existenz von Langzeitlösungen. Verallgemeinernd betrachten wir noch ein System von elliptischen nichtlinearen partiellen Differentialgleichungen, dessen Lösungen die Orbiten von geschlossenen p-Branen unter dem Einfluss einer verallgemeinerten physikalischen Kraft beschreiben. Für die entsprechende Evolutionsgleichung, welche ein System von parabolischen nichtlinearen partiellen Differentialgleichungen ist, das dem elliptischen Problem zugeordnet ist, können wir die Existenz von Kurzzeitlösungen beweisen.

N2  - The ill-posed problem of aerosol distribution determination from a small number of backscatter and extinction lidar measurements was solved successfully via a hybrid method by a variable dimension of projection with B-Splines. Numerical simulation results with noisy data at different measurement situations show that it is possible to derive a reconstruction of the aerosol distribution only with 4 measurements.

T1  - Stabilization of DAEs and invariant manifolds
N2  - Many methods have been proposed for the stabilization of higher index differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). Such methods often involve constraint differentiation and problem stabilization, thus obtaining a stabilized index reduction. A popular method is Baumgarte stabilization, but the choice of parameters to make it robust is unclear in practice. Here we explain why the Baumgarte method may run into trouble. We then show how to improve it. We further develop a unifying theory for stabilization methods which includes many of the various techniques proposed in the literature. Our approach is to (i) consider stabilization of ODEs with invariants, (ii) discretize the stabilizing term in a simple way, generally different from the ODE discretization, and (iii) use orthogonal projections whenever possible. The best methods thus obtained are related to methods of coordinate projection. We discuss them and make concrete algorithmic suggestions.

T1  - Smoothed dynamics of highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems
N2  - We consider the numerical treatment of Hamiltonian systems that contain a potential which grows large when the system deviates from the equilibrium value of the potential. Such systems arise, e.g., in molecular dynamics simulations and the spatial discretization of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. Since the presence of highly oscillatory terms in the solutions forces any explicit integrator to use very small step size, the numerical integration of such systems provides a challenging task. It has been suggested before to replace the strong potential by a holonomic constraint that forces the solutions to stay at the equilibrium value of the potential. This approach has, e.g., been successfully applied to the bond stretching in molecular dynamics simulations. In other cases, such as the bond-angle bending, this methods fails due to the introduced rigidity. Here we give a careful analysis of the analytical problem by means of a smoothing operator. This will lead us to the notion of the smoothed dynamics of a highly oscillatory Hamiltonian system. Based on our analysis, we suggest a new constrained formulation that maintains the flexibility of the system while at the same time suppressing the high-frequency components in the solutions and thus allowing for larger time steps. The new constrained formulation is Hamiltonian and can be discretized by the well-known SHAKE method.

T1  - Symplectic integration of constrained Hamiltonian systems
N2  - A Hamiltonian system in potential form (formula in the original abstract) subject to smooth constraints on q can be viewed as a Hamiltonian system on a manifold, but numerical computations must be performed in Rn. In this paper methods which reduce "Hamiltonian differential algebraic equations" to ODEs in Euclidean space are examined. The authors study the construction of canonical parameterizations or local charts as well as methods based on the construction of ODE systems in the space in which the constraint manifold is embedded which preserve the constraint manifold as an invariant manifold. In each case, a Hamiltonian system of ordinary differential equations is produced. The stability of the constraint invariants and the behavior of the original Hamiltonian along solutions are investigated both numerically and analytically.

T1  - Stabilization of constrained mechanical systems with DAEs and invariant manifolds
N2  - Many methods have been proposed for the simulation of constrained mechanical systems. The most obvious of these have mild instabilities and drift problems. Consequently, stabilization techniques have been proposed A popular stabilization method is Baumgarte's technique, but the choice of parameters to make it robust has been unclear in practice. Some of the simulation methods that have been proposed and used in computations are reviewed here, from a stability point of view. This involves concepts of differential-algebraic equation (DAE) and ordinary differential equation (ODE) invariants. An explanation of the difficulties that may be encountered using Baumgarte's method is given, and a discussion of why a further quest for better parameter values for this method will always remain frustrating is presented. It is then shown how Baumgarte's method can be improved. An efficient stabilization technique is proposed, which may employ explicit ODE solvers in case of nonstiff or highly oscillatory problems and which relates to coordinate projection methods. Examples of a two-link planar robotic arm and a squeezing mechanism illustrate the effectiveness of this new stabilization method.

T1  - Mixed problems with a parameter
N2  - Let X be a smooth n -dimensional manifold and D be an open connected set in X with smooth boundary ∂D. Perturbing the Cauchy problem for an elliptic system Au = f in D with data on a closed set Γ ⊂ ∂D we obtain a family of mixed problems depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Although the mixed problems are subject to a non-coercive boundary condition on ∂D\Γ in general, each of them is uniquely solvable in an appropriate Hilbert space DT and the corresponding family {uε} of solutions approximates the solution of the Cauchy problem in DT whenever the solution exists. We also prove that the existence of a solution to the Cauchy problem in DT is equivalent to the boundedness of the family {uε}. We thus derive a solvability condition for the Cauchy problem and an effective method of constructing its solution. Examples for Dirac operators in the Euclidean space Rn are considered. In the latter case we obtain a family of mixed boundary problems for the Helmholtz equation.
