Singularity

In this figure the next definitions are used A - projection operator, B - pseudo-inverse operator for the image parameters a,( ), C - empirical posterior restoration of the FDD function w(a, ), E - optimal estimator. The projection operator A is non-observable due to the Kalman criteria [10] which is the main singularity for this problem. This leads to use the two step estimation procedure. First, the pseudo-inverse operator B has to be found among the regularization techniques in the class of linear filters. In the second step the optimal estimation d (n) for the pseudo-inverse image parameters d,(n) has to be done in the presence of transformed noise j(n). [Pg.122]

Let u be a vector valued stochastic variable with dimension D x 1 and with covariance matrix Ru of size D x D. The key idea is to linearly transform all observation vectors, u , to new variables, z = W Uy, and then solve the optimization problem (1) where we replace u, by z . We choose the transformation so that the covariance matrix of z is diagonal and (more importantly) none if its eigenvalues are too close to zero. (Loosely speaking, the eigenvalues close to zero are those that are responsible for the large variance of the OLS-solution). In order to liiid the desired transformation, a singular value decomposition of /f is performed yielding... [Pg.888]

Since the crystal shape, or habit, can be determined by kinetic and other nonequilibrium effects, an actud crystal may have faces that differ from those of the Wulff construction. For example, if a (100) plane is a stable or singular plane but by processing one produces a plane at a small angle to this, describable as an (xOO) plane, where x is a large number, the surface may decompose into a set of (100) steps and (010) risers [39].

Iiifomiation about the behaviour of the 3D Ising ferromagnet near the critical point was first obtained from high- and low-temperatnre expansions. The expansion parameter in the high-temperatnre series is tanli K, and the corresponding parameter in the low-temperatnre expansion is exp(-2A ). A 2D square lattice is self-dual in the sense that the bisectors of the line joining the lattice points also fomi a square lattice and the coefficients of the two expansions, for the 2D square lattice system, are identical to within a factor of two. The singularity occurs when... [Pg.539]

Here the coefficients G2, G, and so on, are frinctions ofp and T, presumably expandable in Taylor series around p p and T- T. However, it is frequently overlooked that the derivation is accompanied by the connnent that since. . . the second-order transition point must be some singular point of tlie themiodynamic potential, there is every reason to suppose that such an expansion camiot be carried out up to temis of arbitrary order , but that tliere are grounds to suppose that its singularity is of higher order than that of the temis of the expansion used . The theory developed below was based on this assumption. [Pg.643]

That analyticity was the source of the problem should have been obvious from the work of Onsager (1944) [16] who obtained an exact solution for the two-dimensional Ising model in zero field and found that the heat capacity goes to infinity at the transition, a logarithmic singularity tiiat yields a = 0, but not the a = 0 of the analytic theory, which corresponds to a finite discontinuity. (Wliile diverging at the critical point, the heat capacity is synnnetrical without an actual discontinuity, so perhaps should be called third-order.)... [Pg.644]

The first clear step away from analyticity was made in 1965 by Widom [17] who suggested that the assumption of analytic fimctions be replaced by the less severe assumption that the singular part of the appropriate themiodynamic fimction was a homogeneous fimction of two variables, (p - 1) and (1 - T ). A homogeneous fimction f(u, v) of two variables is one that satisfies the condition... [Pg.644]

For both first-order and continuous phase transitions, finite size shifts the transition and rounds it in some way. The shift for first-order transitions arises, crudely, because the chemical potential, like most other properties, has a finite-size correction p(A)-p(oo) C (l/A). An approximate expression for this was derived by Siepmann et al [134]. Therefore, the line of intersection of two chemical potential surfaces Pj(T,P) and pjj T,P) will shift, in general, by an amount 0 IN). The rounding is expected because the partition fiinction only has singularities (and hence produces discontinuous or divergent properties) in tlie limit i—>oo otherwise, it is analytic, so for finite Vthe discontinuities must be smoothed out in some way. The shift for continuous transitions arises because the transition happens when L for the finite system, but when i oo m the infinite system. The rounding happens for the same reason as it does for first-order phase transitions whatever the nature of the divergence in thennodynamic properties (described, typically, by critical exponents) it will be limited by the finite size of the system.

Let us express the displacement coordinates as linear combinations of a set of new coordinates y >q= Uy then AE = y U HUy. U can be an arbitrary non-singular matrix, and thus can be chosen to diagonalize the synmietric matrix H U HU = A, where the diagonal matrix A contains the (real) eigenvalues of H. In this fomi, the energy change from the stationary point is simply AF. = t Uj A 7- h is clear now that a sufBcient... [Pg.2333]

Thus the transfonnation matrix for the gradient is the inverse transpose of that for the coordinates. In the case of transfonnation from Cartesian displacement coordmates (Ax) to internal coordinates (Aq), the transfonnation is singular becanse the internal coordinates do not specify the six translational and rotational degrees of freedom. One conld angment the internal coordinate set by the latter bnt a simpler approach is to rise the generalized inverse [58]... [Pg.2346]

The question of determination of the phase of a field (classical or quantal, as of a wave function) from the modulus (absolute value) of the field along a real parameter (for which alone experimental determination is possible) is known as the phase problem [28]. (True also in crystallography.) The reciprocal relations derived in Section III represent a formal scheme for the determination of phase given the modulus, and vice versa. The physical basis of these singular integral relations was described in [147] and in several companion articles in that volume a more recent account can be found in [148]. Thus, the reciprocal relations in the time domain provide, under certain conditions of analyticity, solutions to the phase problem. For electromagnetic fields, these were derived in [120,149,150] and reviewed in [28,148]. Matter or Schrodinger waves were... [Pg.104]

Coherent states and diverse semiclassical approximations to molecular wavepackets are essentially dependent on the relative phases between the wave components. Due to the need to keep this chapter to a reasonable size, we can mention here only a sample of original works (e.g., [202-205]) and some summaries [206-208]. In these, the reader will come across the Maslov index [209], which we pause to mention here, since it links up in a natural way to the modulus-phase relations described in Section III and with the phase-fiacing method in Section IV. The Maslov index relates to the phase acquired when the semiclassical wave function haverses a zero (or a singularity, if there be one) and it (and, particularly, its sign) is the consequence of the analytic behavior of the wave function in the complex time plane.
