Population dynamic models combine density dependence and environmental effects. Ignoring sampling uncertainty might lead to biased estimation of the strength of density dependence. This is typically addressed using state‐space model approaches, which integrate sampling error and population process estimates. Such models seldom include an explicit link between the sampling procedures and the true ...

Let Gr(d, n) be the Grassmannian of <i>d</i>-dimensional linear subspaces of an <i>n</i>-dimensional vector space <i>V</i>. A submanifold <i>X</i> ⊂ Gr(<i>d, n</i>) gives rise to a differential system Σ(X) that governs <i>d</i>-dimensional submanifolds of <i>V</i> whose Gaussian image is contained in <i>X</i>. We investigate a special case of this construction where <i>X</i> is a six-fold in Gr(4, ...

Our understanding of the material organization of complex fluid flows has benefited recently from mathematical developments in the theory of objective coherent structures. These methods have provided a wealth of approaches that identify transport barriers in three-dimensional (3-D) turbulent flows. Specifically, theoretical advances have been incorporated into numerical algorithms that extract ...

In this paper we describe the algebra of differential invariants for GL(n,C)-structures. This leads to classification of almost complex structures of general positions. The invariants are applied to the existence problem of higher-dimensional pseudoholomorphic submanifolds.

We prove involutivity of Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell equations by calculating the Spencer cohomology of these systems. Relation with Cartan method is traced in details. Basic implications through Cartan-Kähler theory are derived.

We establish 2-jet determinacy for the symmetry algebra of the underlying structure of any (complex or real) parabolic geometry. At non-flat points, we prove that the symmetry algebra is in fact 1-jet determined. Moreover, we prove 1-jet determinacy at any point for a variety of non-flat parabolic geometries—in particular torsion-free, parabolic contact, and several other classes.

Statistiske metoder som regresjonsanalyse og kausale design basert på naturlige eksperi-menter har etter hvert blitt hyllevare innen de fleste fag som behandler store datamengder,ikke minst innen epidemiologi, meteorologi og klimavitenskap.1 Et eksempel er prinsipalkomponentanalyse (PCA), som brukes til å finne karakteristiske mønstre i geofysiske felt.Mønstrene, eller prinsipalkomponentene, ...

The Koutras–McIntosh family of metrics include conformally flat pp-waves and the Wils metric. It appeared in a paper of 1996 by Koutras–McIntosh as an example of a pure radiation spacetime without scalar curvature invariants or infinitesimal symmetries. Here we demonstrate that these metrics have no 'hidden symmetries', by which we mean Killing tensors of low degrees. For the particular case of Wils ...
