Bessel potential

In mathematics, the Bessel potential is a potential (named after Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel) similar to the Riesz potential but with better decay properties at infinity. If s is a complex number with positive real part then the Bessel potential of order s is the operator where Δ is the Laplace operator and the fractional power is defined using Fourier transforms. Yukawa potentials are particular cases of Bessel potentials for in the 3-dimensional space. The Bessel potential acts by multiplication on the Fourier transforms: for each When , the Bessel potential on can be represented by where the Bessel kernel is defined for by the integral formula Here denotes the Gamma function. The Bessel kernel can also be represented for by This last expression can be more succinctly written in terms of a modified Bessel function, for which the potential gets its name: At the origin, one has as , In particular, when the Bessel potential behaves asymptotically as the Riesz potential.

Design for additive manufacturing of cryogenic flexible pivot enabling on-demand customization, and reducing failure risks

Compliant mechanisms achieve motion through elastic deformation rather than contact surfaces, eliminating friction, wear, and lubrication requirements. Historically, conventional manufacturing processes have constrained both the design and adoption of these mechanisms in cryogenic and space applications. This work exploits the design freedom of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) to propose a streamlined Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) workflow for optimizing and customizing a flexure pivot operating at

On the Plane Wave-Excited Subwavelength Circular Aperture in a Thin Perfectly Conducting Flat Screen

Juan Ramon Mosig

The electromagnetic field transmitted by a subwavelength circular aperture in a perfectly conducting screen of infinitesimal thickness and illuminated by an obliquely incident plane wave is analyzed based on the Bethe-Bouwkamp quasi-static model of the field in the aperture plane. The problem is formulated in the spectral domain and the solution is expressed in terms of a minimum number of one-dimensional Hankel-transform integrals involving products of Bessel functions and spherical Bessel functions.

Speech Enhancement using Beta-order MMSE Spectral Amplitude Estimator with Laplacian Prior

Hervé Bourlard

This report addresses the problem of speech enhancement employing the Minimum Mean-Square Error (MMSE) of β-order Short Time Spectral Amplitude (STSA). We present an analytical solution for β-order MMSE estimator where Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) coefficients of (clean) speech are modeled by Laplacian distributions. Using some approximations for the joint probability density function and the Bessel function, we also present a closed-form version of the estimator (called β-order LapMMSE). The performanc

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Prof. Hesthaven received an M.Sc. in computational physics from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in August 1991. During the studies, the last 6 months of 1989 was spend at JET, the european fusion laboratory in Culham, UK. Following graduation, he was awarded a 3 year fellowship to begin work towards a Ph.D. at Riso National Laboratory in the Department of Optics and Fluid Dynamics. During the 3 years of study, the academic year of 1993-1994 was spend in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and three 3 months during the summer of 1994 in Department of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New Mexico. In August 1995, he recieved a Ph.D. in Numerical Analysis from the Institute of Mathematical Modelling (DTU). Following graduation in August 1995, he was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Advanced Scientific Computing and was approinted Visiting Assistant Professor in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. In December of 1996, he was appointed consultant to the Institute of Computer Applications in Science and Engineering(ICASE) at NASA Langley Research Center (NASA LaRC). As of July 1999, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics, in September 2000 he was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, as of July 2001 he was awarded a Manning Assistant Professorship, and in March 2002, he was awarded an NSF Career Award. In January 2003, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics with tenure and in May 2004 he was awarded Philip J. Bray Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Sciences (the highest award given for teaching excellence in all sciences at Brown University). He was promoted to Professor of Applied Mathematics as of July 2005. From October 2006 to June 2013, he was the Founding Director of the Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) at Brown University. As of October 2007, he holds the (honorary) title of Professor (Adjunct) at the Technical University of Denmark. In November 2009, he successfully defended his dr.techn thesis at the Technical University of Denmark and was rewarded the degree of Doctor Technices -- the highest academic distinction awarded based on ... substantial and lasting contributions that has helped to move the research area forward and penetrated into applications. As grant Co-PI he served from Aug 2010 to June 2013 as Deputy Director of the Institute of Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM), the newest NSF Mathematical Sciences Research Institute. After having spend his entire academic career at Brown University, Prof Hesthaven decided to pursue new challenges and joined the Mathematics Institute of Computational Science and Engineering (MATHICSE) at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland in July 2013. In March 2014 he was elected SIAM Fellow for contributions to high-order methods for partial differential equations.

ResearchResearch Topics My research can be decomposed in three main blocks:First, the main goal of my current research is the physical description of contact interactions. I performed numerous studies of this topic using different models from the continuum scale down to atomistic scale. Since atomic phenomena and macroscopic observations are linked, the physics of contact needs the simultaneous consideration of several scales. For instance, plasticity is a theory defined for the macroscopic scale whereas t
