We use perturbation theory to construct perfect lattice actions for fermions and gauge fields by blocking directly from the continuum. When one uses a renormalization group transformation that preserves chiral symmetry the resulting lattice action for massless fermions is chirally symmetric but nonlocal. When the renormalization group transformation breaks chiral symmetry the lattice action bec...

A transformation is devised to convert any chirally non-invariant lattice Dirac fermion operator into Ginsparg-Wilson Dirac fermion operator. For the standard Wilson-Dirac lattice fermion operator, the transformed new operator is local, free of O(a) lattice artifacts, has correct axial anomaly in the vacuum sector, and is not plagued by the notorious problems ( e.g., additive mass renormalizati...

In this paper, we prove some results on characterization of $varepsilon$-simultaneous approximations of downward sets in vector lattice Banach spaces. Also, we give some results about simultaneous approximations of normal sets.

– In this letter, we derive entropy functions whose local equilibria are suitable to recover the Navier-Stokes equations in the framework of the Lattice Boltzmann method. For the two-dimensional nine-velocity lattice we demonstrate that such an entropy function is unique, and that the expansion of the corresponding local equilibrium is the well-known local equilibrium of Y.

This thesis studies the multiple description vector quantization with lattice codebooks (MDLVQ). The design of index assignment is crucial to the performance of MDLVQ. However, to our best knowledge, none of previous index assignment algorithms for MDLVQ is optimal. In this thesis, we propose a simple linear-time index assignment algorithm for MDLVQ with any K ≥ 2 balanced descriptions. We prov...

We determine a finite set of representatives of the set of local solutions in a maximal lattice modulo the stabilizer of the lattice in question for a quadratic Diophantine equation. Our study is based on the works of Shimura on quadratic forms, especially [AQC] and [IQD]. Indeed, as an application of the result, we present a criterion (in both global and local cases) of the maximality of the l...

We consider the elastic theory of single crystals at constant temperature where the free energy density depends on the local concentration of one or more species of particles in such a way that for a given local concentration vector certain lattice geometries (phases) are preferred. Furthermore we consider possible large deformations of the crystal lattice. After deriving the physical model, we...
