In this paper we show that, with respect to the L2 norm, three classes of functions in Hr(0,1) , defined by certain boundary conditions, admit optimal spline spaces of all degrees ≥r−1 , and all these spline spaces ...

We study how the geometry of a projective variety X is reflected in the positivity properties of the diagonal ΔX considered as a cycle on X×X. We analyze when the diagonal is big, when it is nef, and when it is rigid. In ...

We propose a quasi-Monte Carlo (qMC) algorithm to simulate variates from the normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) distribution. The algorithm is based on a Monte Carlo technique found in the Rydberg reference, and is based on ...

Waves propagating below drift ice were observed in the North-West Barents Sea. In-situ measurements of ice and water characteristics were performed with the equipment deployed on the ice and in the water below the ice ...

In Europe, statistical evidence shows a decline in human mortality over the 20th century. The growing mortality concern led actuaries to consider a dynamic and stochastic survival model in order to forecast realistic ...

The spatial and temporal development of shear-induced overturning billows associated with breaking internal solitary waves is studied by means of a combined laboratory and numerical investigation. The waves are generated ...

We study the problem of convergence to the boundary in the setting of random walks on discrete quantum groups. Convergence to the boundary is established for random walks on SU\q(2). Furthermore, we will define the Martin ...
