Periodic nonuniform sampling occurs in many applications, and the Nyquist folding receiver (NYFR) is an efficient, low complexity, and broadband spectrum sensing architecture. In this paper, we first derive that the radio frequency (RF) sample clock function of NYFR is periodic nonuniform. Then, the classical results of periodic nonuniform sampling are applied to NYFR. We extend the spectral re...

Influence of a nonuniform anisotropy distribution on domain reversal dynamics in ferromagnetic thin films has been investigated. A micromagnetic model has been developed adopting a Monte Carlo algorithm to examine the thermally activated reversal process. In this study, the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy magnitude is spatially nonuniform. Interestingly, the simulation results demonstrate the cruc...

In nanofluidic devices, nonuniform confinement induces an entropic force that automatically drives biopolymers toward less-confined regions to gain entropy. To understand this phenomenon, we first analyze the diffusion of an entropy-driven particle system. The derived Fokker-Planck equation reveals an effective driving force as the negative gradient of the free energy. The derivation also shows...

This paper reports on a study of traffic patterns among Autonomous Systems (ASes), based on traces taken at various points in the Internet. The traces display a highly nonuniform distribution of traffic on flows between pairs of hosts, networks, and ASes. Aggregation along coarser granularities, such as networks or ASes, accentuates this nonuniform distribution. In one typical trace, for exampl...

We explore via linearized perturbation theory the Gregory-Laflamme instability of rotating black strings with equal magnitude angular momenta. Our results indicate that the Gregory-Laflamme instability persists up to extremality for all even dimensions between six and fourteen. We construct rotating nonuniform black strings with two equal magnitude angular momenta in six dimensions. We see a fi...

We study the concept of bribery in the situation where voters are willing to change their votes as we ask them, but where their prices depend on the nature of the change we request. Our model is an extension of the one of Faliszewski et al. [9], where each voter has a single price for any change we may ask for. We show polynomial-time algorithms for our version of bribery for a broad range of v...

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing piecewise smooth functions to high accuracy from nonuniform samples of their Fourier transform. We use the framework of nonuniform generalized sampling (NUGS) to do this, and to ensure high accuracy we employ reconstruction spaces consisting of splines or (piecewise) polynomials. We analyze the relation between the dimension of the recons...

This paper deals with nonuniform transmission lines which are excited at high frequencies. Networks of those lines are formed and they are described by the BLT–equation. The essential ingredients in this equation are the scattering and the propagation supermatrices. For our investigations we derive these quantities from the product integral solution of generalized telegrapher’s equations. The m...

This work solves the signal reconstruction problem involving nonuniform filter bank systems with rational decimation factors and noises. Three main nonuniform filter bank systems, i.e., filter-block decimator (FBD) structure, upsamplerfilter-downsampler (UFD) structure, and tree structure, are included in this study. According to different operating conditions, two different signal reconstructi...
