This paper introduces a quasi-interpolation operator for scalarand vector-valued finite element spaces constructed on affine, shape-regular meshes with some continuity across mesh interfaces. This operator gives optimal estimates of the best approximation error in any Lp-norm assuming regularity in the fractional Sobolev spaces W r,p, where p ∈ [1,∞] and the smoothness index r can be arbitraril...

The Navier–Lamé operator of classical elasticity, μ∆v+(λ+μ)∇(∇·v), is the simplest example of a linear differential operator whose second-order terms involve a coupling among the components of a vector-valued function. Similar operators on Riemannian manifolds arise in conformal geometry and in quantum gravity. (In the latter context they have come to be called “nonminimal”, but “exotic” is pro...

In this paper, music genre classification is addressed in a multilinear perspective. Inspired by a model of auditory cortical processing, multiscale spectro-temporal modulation features are extracted. Such spectro-temporal modulation features have been successfully used in various content-based audio classification tasks recently, but not yet in music genre classification. Each recording is rep...

We present a method for solving the Stokes problem in unbounded domains. It relies on the coupling of the transparent boundary operator and a spectral method in spherical coordinates. It is done explicitly by the use of vector-valued spherical harmonics. A uniform inf-sup condition is proved, which provides an optimal error estimate.

In this paper it is shown how the vector-valued Laplace transform can be used to obtain existence and uniqueness results for exponentially bounded solutions of abstract linear evolution equations in Banach spaces. The method allows to consider problems for which the characteristic operator is, like many sums, products or limits of closed operators, not necessarily closed or closable.

We introduce two kinds of quasi-inner functions. Since every rationally invariant subspace for a shift operator SK on a vector-valued Hardy space H(Ω, K) is generated by a quasi-inner function, we also provide relationships of quasi-inner functions by comparing rationally invariant subspaces generated by them. Furthermore, we discuss fundamental properties of quasi-inner functions, and quasi-in...
