The properties of the metric topology on infinite and finite sets are analyzed. We answer whether finite metric spaces hold interest in algebraic topology, and how this result is generalized to pseudometric spaces through the Kolmogorov quotient. Embedding into Lebesgue spaces is analyzed, with special attention for Hilbert spaces, `p, and EN .

Hybrid systems with memory refer to dynamical systems exhibiting both hybrid and delay phenomena. While systems of this type are frequently encountered in many physical and engineering systems, particularly in control applications, various issues centered around the robustness of hybrid delay systems have not been adequately dealt with. In this paper, we establish some basic results on a framew...

Mechanical systems with time-varying topology appear frequently in various applications. In this paper, topology changes that can be modeled by means of bilateral impulsive constraints are analyzed. We present a concept to project kinematic and kinetic quantities to two mutually orthogonal subspaces of the tangent space of the mechanical system. This can be used to obtain decoupled formulations...

This paper extends the principal component analysis (PCA) to moderately non-stationary vector time series. We propose a method that searches for linear transformation of original series such transformed is segmented into uncorrelated subseries with lower dimensions. A columns’ rearrangement proposed regroup based on their relationships. discuss theoretical properties fixed and large dimensional...

In this article, the effect of operating conditions, such as temperature, Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV), CH4/O2 ratio and diluents gas (mol% N2) on ethylene production by Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) in a fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure was studied over Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2 ca...

A new method for performing a kernel principal component analysis is proposed. By kernelizing the generalized Hebbian algorithm, one can iteratively estimate the principal components in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with only linear order memory complexity. The derivation of the method and preliminary applications in image hyperresolution are presented. In addition, we discuss the extensio...

This article is expanded from a talk given by the author in (the preliminary version of) the Student Algebraic Topology seminar in University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The rst part will be a review of ordinary sheaf cohomology which is done in such a way that generalization to generalized sheaf cohomology theory becomes automatic. The second part is a quick introduction of the approach to general...
