Attenuation correction of PET emission data using spatially correlated CT images is fast and precise yielding a noise-free attenuation map (μmap) in comparison with radionuclide transmission scanning (TX). However, it is essential to convert the linear attenuation coefficients obtained from CT scans to those corresponding to 511 keV. Several conversion strategies have been developed including s...

We introduce a new spin-fermion mapping, for arbitrary spin S generating the SU(2) group algebra, that constitutes a natural generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation for S = 1/2. The mapping, valid for regular lattices in any spatial dimension d, serves to unravel hidden symmetries. We illustrate the power of the transformation by finding exact solutions to lattice models previously u...

We study the topological centers of $nth$ dual of Banach $mathcal{A}$-modules and we extend some propositions from Lau and "{U}lger into $n-th$ dual of Banach $mathcal{A}-modules$ where $ngeq 0$ is even number. Let   $mathcal{B}$   be a Banach  $mathcal{A}-bimodule$. By using some new conditions, we show that $ Z^ell_{mathcal{A}^{(n)}}(mathcal{B}^{(n)})=mathcal{B}^{(n)}$ and $ Z^ell_{mathcal{B}...

Mapping the magnetic exchange interactions from model Hamiltonian to density-functional theory is a crucial step in multiscale modeling calculations. Considering the usual magnetic force theorem but with arbitrary rotational angles of the spin moments, a spurious anisotropy in the standard mapping procedure is shown to occur provided by bilinear like contributions of high-order spin interaction...

A novel optimization method is proposed to minimize a convex function subject to bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) constraints. The key idea is to decompose the bilinear mapping as a difference between two positive semidefinite convex mappings. At each iteration of the algorithm the concave part is linearized, leading to a convex subproblem.Applications to various output feedback controller synt...

As an application of Hirota bilinear method, perturbation expansion truncated at different levels is used to obtain exact soliton solutions to (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation in much simpler way in comparison to other existing methods. We have derived bilinear form of nonlinear evolution equation and using this bilinear form, bilinear Backlund transformations and construction of ...

For any non-negative integer v we construct explicitly ⌊v2⌋+1 independent covariant bilinear differential operators from Jk,m × Jk′,m′ to Jk+k′+v,m+m′ . As an application we construct a covariant bilinear differential operator mapping S (2) k ×S (2) k′ to S (2) k+k′+v. Here Jk,m denotes the space of Jacobi forms of weight k and index m and S (2) k the space of Siegel modular forms of degree 2 a...

Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...

This chapter is based on the presentation “Generalized bilinear CalderónZygmund operators and applications” delivered by the author during the 2008 February Fourier Talks at the Norbert Wiener Center for Harmonic Analysis and Applications, Department of Mathematics, University of Maryland, College Park, on February 21st. In turn, that presentation was based on material from the article “Weighte...
