In this paper, we study the periodic Hunter–Saxton equation with weak dissipation. We first establish local existence of strong solutions, blow-up scenario and criteria equation. Then, investigate rate for blowing-up solutions to Finally, prove that has global solutions.

We consider the problem of restoring randomly distributed sets of missing pixels in band-limited discrete images , and give non-iterative and iterative algorithms capable of error-free restoration. The methods discussed have minimum dimension, that is, the size of the matrices and vectors which appear in the algorithm is determined by the number of unknown pixels. This is a characteristic which...

In this paper we study the Papoulis-Gerchberg (PG) method and its applications to domains of image restoration like super-resolution (SR) and inpainting. We show that the method performs well under certain conditions. We then suggest improvements to the method to achieve better SR and inpainting results. The modification applied to the SR process also allows us to apply the method to a larger c...

Kinesin is a heterotetramer composed of two 115-kD heavy chains and two 58-kD light chains. The microtubule motor activity of kinesin is performed by the heavy chains, but the functions of the light chains are poorly understood. Mutations were generated in the Drosophila gene Kinesin light chain (Klc), and the phenotypic consequences of loss of Klc function were analyzed at the behavioral and c...

We show that the continuous limit of a wide natural class of the right-invariant discrete Lagrangian systems on the Virasoro group gives the family of integrable PDE’s containing Camassa-Holm, Hunter-Saxton and Korteweg-de Vries equations. This family has been recently derived by Khesin and Misio-lek as Euler equations on the Virasoro algebra for H1 α,βmetrics. Our result demonstrates a univers...
