Reverse Engineering: Statistical Threshold for New Selective Sampling Morphological Descriptor

E. Vezzetti
During the digitization process of a physical object, the operator has to choose an acquisition pitch. Currently, 3D scanners employ constant pitches. For this reason the grid dimension choice normally represents a compromise between the scanner performances and specific applications, and the resolu ... [J. Comput. Inf. Sci. Eng. 10, 011008 (2010)] published Wed Mar 10, 2010.

Estimating generalized Lyapunov exponents for products of random matrices

J. Vanneste
We discuss several techniques for the evaluation of the generalized Lyapunov exponents which characterize the growth of products of random matrices in the large-deviation regime. A Monte Carlo algorithm that performs importance sampling using a simple random resampling step is proposed as a general- ... [Phys. Rev. E 81, 036701 ] published .

Finite nuclear mass corrections to electric and magnetic interactions in diatomic molecules

Krzysztof Pachucki
In order to interpret precise measurements of molecular properties, finite nuclear mass corrections to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation have to be accounted for. It is demonstrated that they can be obtained systematically using nonadiabatic perturbation theory. The formulas for the leading correct ... [Phys. Rev. A 81, 032505 ] published .

Gauge invariance and reciprocity in quantum mechanics

P. T. Leung (梁培德) and K. Young (楊綱凱)
Reciprocity in wave propagation usually refers to the symmetry of the Green's function under the interchange of the source and the observer coordinates, but this condition is not gauge invariant in quantum mechanics, a problem that is particularly significant in the presence of a vector potential. S ... [Phys. Rev. A 81, 032107 ] published .

Discrete and continuous invariance in phyllotactic tilings

Integrability of the KruskalZabusky Discrete Equation by Multiscale Expansion

Decio Levi and Christian Scimiterna
In 1965 Kruskal and Zabusky in a very famous article in Physical Review Letters introduced the notion of soliton to describe the interaction of solitary waves solutions of the Korteweg de Vries equation (KdV).
