Assessing the effect of lens mass model in cosmological application with updated galaxy-scale strong gravitational lensing sample
By comparing the dynamical and lensing masses of early-type lens galaxies,
one can constrain both the cosmological parameters and the density profiles of
galaxies. We explore the constraining power on cosmological parameters and the
effect of the lens mass model in this method with 161 galaxy-scale strong
lensing systems, which is currently the largest sample with both high
resolution imaging and stellar dynamical data. We assume a power-law mass model
for the lenses, and consider three different parameterizations for
(i.e., the slope of the total mass density profile) to include the effect of
the dependence of on redshift and surface mass density. When treating
(i.e., the slope of the luminosity density profile) as a universal
parameter for all lens galaxies, we find the limits on the cosmological
parameter are quite weak and biased, and also heavily dependent on
the lens mass model in the scenarios of parameterizing with three
different forms. When treating as an observable for each lens, the
unbiased estimate of can be obtained only in the scenario of
including the dependence of on both the redshift and the surface mass
density, that is at 68\% confidence level
in the framework of a flat CDM model. We conclude that the significant
dependencies of on both the redshift and the surface mass density, as
well as the intrinsic scatter of among the lenses, need to be properly
taken into account in this method.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRAS; 17 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
Hard thresholding hyperinterpolation over general regions
This paper proposes a novel variant of hyperinterpolation, called hard
thresholding hyperinterpolation. This approximation scheme of degree
leverages a hard thresholding operator to filter all hyperinterpolation
coefficients which approximate the Fourier coefficients of a continuous
function by a quadrature rule with algebraic exactness . We prove that hard
thresholding hyperinterpolation is the unique solution to an
-regularized weighted discrete least squares approximation problem.
Hard thresholding hyperinterpolation is not only idempotent and commutative
with hyperinterpolation, but also satisfies the Pythagorean theorem. By
estimating the reciprocal of the Christoffel function, we demonstrate that the
upper bound of the uniform norm of hard thresholding hyperinterpolation
operator is not greater than that of hyperinterpolation operator. Hard
thresholding hyperinterpolation possesses denoising and basis selection
abilities as Lasso hyperinterpolation. To judge the denoising effects of hard
thresholding and Lasso hyperinterpolations, this paper yields a criterion that
combines the regularization parameter and the product of noise coefficients and
signs of hyperinterpolation coefficients. Numerical examples on the spherical
triangle and the cube demonstrate the denoising performance of hard
thresholding hyperinterpolation.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figure
Phase transitions and thermodynamics of the two-dimensional Ising model on a distorted Kagom\'{e} lattice
The two-dimensional Ising model on a distorted Kagom\'{e} lattice is studied
by means of exact solutions and the tensor renormalisation group (TRG) method.
The zero-field phase diagrams are obtained, where three phases such as
ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and paramagnetic phases, along with the
second-order phase transitions, have been identified. The TRG results are quite
accurate and reliable in comparison to the exact solutions. In a magnetic
field, the magnetization (), susceptibility and specific heat are studied by
the TRG algorithm, where the plateaux are observed in the magnetization
curves for some couplings. The experimental data of susceptibility for the
complex Co(N)(bpg) DMF are fitted with the TRG results,
giving the couplings of the complex and
