Straight Line Orbits in Hamiltonian Flows
We investigate periodic straight-line orbits (SLO) in Hamiltonian force
fields using both direct and inverse methods. A general theorem is proven for
natural Hamiltonians quadratic in the momenta in arbitrary dimension and
specialized to two and three dimension. Next we specialize to homogeneous
potentials and their superpositions, including the familiar H\'enon-Heiles
problem. It is shown that SLO's can exist for arbitrary finite superpositions
of -forms. The results are applied to a family of generalized H\'enon-Heiles
potentials having discrete rotational symmetry. SLO's are also found for
superpositions of these potentials.Comment: laTeX with 6 figure
A Novel TRAF3IP2 Mutation Causing Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis
Inborn errors of the IL-17-mediated signaling have been associated with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC). We describe a patient with CMC, atopic dermatitis, enamel dysplasia, and recurrent parotitis harboring a novel compound heterozygous mutation of TRAF3IP2, leading to autosomal recessive ACT1 deficiency and deficient IL-17 signaling.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A global Carleman estimate in a transmission wave equation and application to a one-measurement inverse problem
We consider a transmission wave equation in two embedded domains in ,
where the speed is in the inner domain and in the outer
domain. We prove a global Carleman inequality for this problem under the
hypothesis that the inner domain is strictly convex and . As a
consequence of this inequality, uniqueness and Lip- schitz stability are
obtained for the inverse problem of retrieving a stationary potential for the
wave equation with Dirichlet data and discontinuous principal coefficient from
a single time-dependent Neumann boundary measurement
Homeomorphic Embedding for Online Termination of Symbolic Methods
Well-quasi orders in general, and homeomorphic embedding in particular, have gained popularity to ensure the termination of techniques for program analysis, specialisation, transformation, and verification. In this paper we survey and discuss this use of homeomorphic embedding and clarify the advantages of such an approach over one using well-founded orders. We also discuss various extensions of the homeomorphic embedding relation. We conclude with a study of homeomorphic embedding in the context of metaprogramming, presenting some new (positive and negative) results and open problems
Weakly Consistent Regularisation Methods for Ill-Posed Problems
This Chapter takes its origin in the lecture notes for a 9 h course at the Institut Henri Poincaré in September 2016. The course was divided in three parts. In the first part, which is not included herein, the aim was to first recall some basic aspects of stabilised finite element methods for convection-diffusion problems. We focus entirely on the second and third parts which were dedicated to ill-posed problems and their approximation using stabilised finite element methods. First we introduce the concept of conditional stability. Then we consider the elliptic Cauchy-problem and a data assimilation problem in a unified setting and show how stabilised finite element methods may be used to derive error estimates that are consistent with the stability properties of the problem and the approximation properties of the finite element space. Finally, we extend the result to a data assimilation problem subject to the heat equation
