We use a small positive parameter to change the totalvariation function for unconstrainedMRimage reconstruction to a strictly convex perturbed function. Bregman iteration is applied to solve the modified total-variation MR image (TVMRI) reconstruction problem. A lagged diffusivity fixed-point algorithm is applied to solve the minimization problem in the Bregman iteration. We use the periodic boundary condition and a Fourier transform to accelerate TVMRI reconstruction.RealMR images are used to test the approach in numerical experiments. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is very efficient for TVMRI reconstruction.

The phase space of a particle or a mechanical system contains an intrinsic symplectic structure, and hence, it is a symplectic manifold. Recently, new invariants for symplectic manifolds in terms of cohomologies of differential forms have been introduced by Tseng and Yau. Here, we discuss the physical motivation behind the new symplectic invariants and analyze these invariants for phase space, i.e., the non-compact cotangent bundle.

We propose a generalized multiscale finite element method (GMsFEM) based on clustering algorithm to study the elliptic PDEs with random coefficients in the multi-query setting. Our method consists of offline and online stages. In the offline stage, we construct a small number of reduced basis functions within each coarse grid block, which can then be used to approximate the multiscale finite element basis functions. In addition, we coarsen the corresponding random space through a clustering algorithm. In the online stage, we can obtain the multiscale finite element basis very efficiently on a coarse grid by using the pre-computed multiscale basis. The new GMsFEM can be applied to multiscale SPDE starting with a relatively coarse grid, without requiring the coarsest grid to resolve the smallest-scale of the solution. The new method offers considerable savings in solving multiscale SPDEs. Numerical results are

We nd a one-parameter family of coordinates f hgh2R which is a deformation of Penner's simplicial coordinate of the decorated Teichmuller space of an ideally triangulated punctured surface (S; T) of negative Euler characteristic. If h > 0, the decorated Teichmuller space in the h coordinate becomes an explicit convex polytope P(T) independent of h, and if h < 0, the decorated Teichmuller space becomes an explicit bounded convex polytope Ph(T) so that Ph(T)  Ph0 (T) if h < h0. As a consequence, Bowditch-Epstein and Penner's cell decomposition of the decorated Teichmuller space is reproduced.
