Bony and Häfner have recently obtained positive commutator estimates on the Laplacian in the low-energy limit on asymptotically Euclidean spaces; these estimates can be used to prove local energy decay estimates if the metric is non-trapping. We simplify the proof of the estimates of Bony-Häfner and generalize them to the setting of scattering manifolds (i.e. manifolds with large conic ends), b...

This paper presents an inductive coupling interface using a relay transmission scheme and a low-skew 3D clock distribution network synchronized with an external reference clock source for 3D chip stacking. A relayed transmission scheme using one coil is proposed to reduce the number of coils in a data link. Coupled resonation is utilized for clock and data recovery (CDR) for the first time in t...

In this paper we give a simple characterization of the Laplacian spectra of a family of graphs as the eigenvalues of symmetric tridiagonal matrices. In addition, we apply our result to obtain an upper and lower bounds for the Laplacian-energy-like invariant of these graphs. The class of graphs considered are obtained by copies of modified generalized Bethe trees (obtained by joining the vertice...

We study the low energy asymptotics of periodic and random Laplace operators on Cayley graphs of amenable, finitely generated groups. For the periodic operator the asymptotics is characterised by the van Hove exponent or zeroth Novikov-Shubin invariant. The random model we consider is given in terms of an adjacency Laplacian on site or edge percolation subgraphs of the Cayley graph. The asympto...

let $alpha$ be an endomorphism and $delta$ an $alpha$-derivationof a ring $r$.  in this paper we  study the relationship between an$r$-module $m_r$ and the  general polynomial module  $m[x]$ over theskew polynomial ring $r[x;alpha,delta]$. we introduce the notionsof skew-armendariz modules and skew quasi-armendariz modules whichare generalizations of $alpha$-armendariz modules and extend thecla...

‎‎A natural generalization of two dimensional cyclic code ($T{TDC}$) is two dimensional skew cyclic code‎. ‎It is well-known that there is a correspondence between two dimensional skew cyclic codes and left ideals of the quotient ring $R_n:=F[x,y;rho,theta]/_l$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize the left ideals of the ring $R_n$ with two methods and find the generator matrix for two dimensional s...

For any simple connected undirected graph, it is well known that the Kirchhoff and multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff indices can be computed using the Laplacian matrix. We show that the same is true for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index and give a compact Matlab program that computes all three Kirchhoffian indices with the Laplacian matrix as the only input.

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE  estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of  noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...

Battery-powered applications that are coupled to their physical environment through multiple sensors and actuators may not be using their scarce energy in the most efficient way. Acquiring samples from peripherals for fusion by the application software must be coordinated in order to not spend energy on redundant computations. However, coordination, as any sophisticated peripheral control, is a...
