Impulse differential inclusions are introduced as a framework for modeling hybrid phenomena. Connections to standard problems in the area of hybrid systems are discussed. Conditions are derived that allow one to determine whether a set of states is viable or invariant under the action of an impulse differential inclusion. For sets that violate these conditions, methods are developed for approxi...

We introduce the notion of a conformal de Rham complex of a Riemannian manifold. This is a graded differential Banach algebra and it is invariant under quasiconformal maps, in particular the associated cohomology is a new quasiconformal invariant.

A systematic exposition is given of the theory of invariant differential operators on a not necessarily reductive homogeneous space. This exposition is modelled on Helgason’s treatment of the general reductive case and the special nonreductive case of the space of horocycles. As a final application the differential operators on (not a priori reductive) isotropic pseudo-Riemannian spaces are cha...

This paper reviews the moving frame approach to the construction of the invariant variational bicomplex. Applications include explicit formulae for the Euler-Lagrange equations of an invariant variational problem, and for the equations governing the evolution of differential invariants under invariant submanifold flows.

Parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics is exploited to introduce a topological invariant associated with a pair of parameter dependent Fredholm (respectively elliptic differential) operators satisfying two compatibility conditions. An explicit algebraic expression for this topological invariant is provided. The latter identifies the parasupersymmetric topological invariant with the sum of the ana...

The studied model was suggested to design a perfect hedging strategy for a large trader. In this case the implementation of a hedging strategy affects the price of the underlying security. The feedback-effect leads to a nonlinear version of the Black-Scholes partial differential equation. Using the Lie group theory we reduce the partial differential equation in special cases to ordinary differe...

Multivariate Public Key Cryptography (MPKC) has been put forth as a possible post-quantum family of cryptographic schemes. These schemes lack provable security in the reduction theoretic sense, and so their security against yet undiscovered attacks remains uncertain. The effectiveness of differential attacks on various field-based systems has prompted the investigation of differential propertie...

This paper presents a histogram based image retrieval system for environments where the images may be subject to gamma correction. The images are transformed into representations that are invariant under gamma correction. The differential invariant employed is a local feature implemented with derivatives of the Gaussian. The image retrieval is based on feature histograms computed from the invar...

In this paper we study the problems of invariant and ergodic expectations under G-expectation framework. In particular, the stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (G-SDEs) have the unique invariant and ergodic expectations. Moreover, the invariant and ergodic expectations of G-SDEs are also sublinear expectations. However, the invariant expectations may not coincide with ...

The invariant subspace method is used to classify a class of systems of nonlinear dispersive evolution equations and determine their invariant subspaces and exact solutions. A crucial step is to take subspaces of solutions to linear ordinary differential equations as invariant subspaces that systems of evolution equations admit. A few examples of presenting exact solutions with generalized sepa...
