Global Weak Rigidity of the Gauss–Codazzi–Ricci Equations and Isometric Immersions of Riemannian Manifolds with Lower Regularity.

ABSTRACT: We are concerned with the global weak rigidity of the Gauss–Codazzi–Ricci (GCR) equations on Riemannian manifolds and the corresponding isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds into the Euclidean spaces. We develop a unified intrinsic approach to establish the global weak rigidity of both the GCR equations and isometric immersions of the Riemannian manifolds, independent of the local coordinates, and provide further insights of the previous local results and arguments. The critical case has also been analyzed. To achieve this, we first reformulate the GCR equations with div-curl structure intrinsically on Riemannian manifolds and develop a global, intrinsic version of the div-curl lemma and other nonlinear techniques to tackle the global weak rigidity on manifolds. In particular, a general functional-analytic compensated compactness theorem on Banach spaces has been established, which includes the intrinsic div-curl lemma on Riemannian manifolds as a special case. The equivalence of global isometric immersions, the Cartan formalism, and the GCR equations on the Riemannian manifolds with lower regularity is established. We also prove a new weak rigidity result along the way, pertaining to the Cartan formalism, for Riemannian manifolds with lower regularity, and extend the weak rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds with corresponding different metrics.

The Stability Principle and global weak solutions of the free surface semi-geostrophic equations in geostrophic coordinates.

Project description:The semi-geostrophic equations are used widely in the modelling of large-scale atmospheric flows. In this note, we prove the global existence of weak solutions of the incompressible semi-geostrophic equations, in geostrophic coordinates, in a three-dimensional domain with a free upper boundary. The proof, based on an energy minimization argument originally inspired by the Stability Principle as studied by Cullen, Purser and others, uses optimal transport techniques as well as the analysis of Hamiltonian ODEs in spaces of probability measures as studied by Ambrosio and Gangbo. We also give a general formulation of the Stability Principle in a rigorous mathematical framework.

Smooth stable manifolds for the non-instantaneous impulsive equations with applications to Duffing oscillators.

Project description:In this paper, we present a theory of smooth stable manifold for the non-instantaneous impulsive differential equations on the Banach space or Hilbert space. Assume that the non-instantaneous linear impulsive evolution differential equation admits a uniform exponential dichotomy, we give the conditions of the existence of the global and local stable manifolds. Furthermore, Ck -smoothness of the stable manifold is obtained, and the periodicity of the stable manifold is given. Finally, an application to nonlinear Duffing oscillators with non-instantaneous impulsive effects is given, to demonstrate the existence of stable manifold.

A covariate-constraint method to map brain feature space into lower dimensional manifolds.

Project description:Human brain connectome studies aim to both explore healthy brains, and extract and analyze relevant features associated with pathologies of interest. Usually this consists of modeling the brain connectome as a graph and using graph metrics as features. A fine brain description requires graph metrics computation at the node level. Given the relatively reduced number of patients in standard cohorts, such data analysis problems fall in the high-dimension, low-sample-size framework. In this context, our goal is to provide a machine learning technique that exhibits flexibility, gives the investigator an understanding of the features and covariates, allows visualization and exploration, and yields insight into the data and the biological phenomena at stake. The retained approach is dimension reduction in a manifold learning methodology; the originality is that the investigator chooses one (or several) reduced variables. The proposed method is illustrated in two studies. The first one addresses comatose patients; the second one compares young and elderly populations. The method sheds light on the differences between brain connectivity graphs using graph metrics and potential clinical interpretations of these differences.

Recent advances on the global regularity for irrotational water waves.

Project description:We review recent progress on the long-time regularity of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the water waves equations, in two and three dimensions. We begin by introducing the free boundary Euler equations and discussing the local existence of solutions using the paradifferential approach. We then describe in a unified framework, using the Eulerian formulation, global existence results for three- and two-dimensional gravity waves, and our joint result (with Deng and Pausader) on global regularity for the gravity-capillary model in three dimensions. We conclude this review with a short discussion about the formation of singularities and give a few additional references to other interesting topics in the theory.This article is part of the theme issue 'Nonlinear water waves'.

Evidence of abnormal lower-limb torque coupling after stroke: an isometric study.

Project description:Although stroke survivors often display abnormal joint torque patterns, studies of torque-coupling in the lower limb are lacking, despite their potential impact on gait abnormalities.Twenty-two chronic ambulating stroke subjects and 11 age-matched control subjects produced isometric hip torques in the frontal and sagittal planes with the hemiparetic leg (or randomly selected leg for the control group) in postures that resemble stages of gait. The involuntary knee torques were also recorded although no feedback or instructions were given.In the toe-off and midswing postures, the stroke group had a significant torque bias toward extension and adduction, whereas the control group had a symmetric torque space. The stroke group also produced significantly smaller torques than the control group in the flexion and abduction/flexion directions. Finally, the stroke group displayed abnormal coupling of knee extension with hip adduction, unique to the toe-off position.Whereas gait abnormalities after stroke have been attributed to a number of factors, including sagittal plane strength impairments at the hip, knee, and ankle, our findings indicate that neuromechanical changes after stroke may play a significant role in determining the nature of the movement abnormality. Specifically, abnormal hip adduction and knee extension torque coupling was observed, in addition to direction-specific hip torque weakness. Future studies are needed to delineate the differential contributions of each potential factor to gait abnormalities. Understanding the underlying neuromechanical changes after stroke may aid the development of rehabilitation strategies.

Lower Limb Rigidity Is Associated with Frequent Falls in Parkinson's Disease.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe role of muscle rigidity as an etiological factor of falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) is poorly understood. Our objective was to determine whether lower leg rigidity was differentially associated with frequent falls in PD compared to upper limb, neck, and total rigidity measures.MethodsWe examined the associations between Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Part III (motor) rigidity subscores and the history of monthly or more frequent falls in 216 individuals with PD (age, 66?±?10 years; 36% female; disease duration, 7?±?5 years) with logistic regression.ResultsA total of 35 individuals were frequent fallers. Significant associations were identified between lower limb rigidity and frequent falls (P =?0.01) after controlling for age, sex, PD duration, total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale- Part III score, and presence of freezing of gait. No significant associations (P???0.14) were identified for total, arm, or neck rigidity.ConclusionLower limb rigidity is related to frequent falls in people with PD. Further investigation may be warranted into how parkinsonian rigidity could cause falls.

Investigating Lower Limb Hemodynamics during Flap Training Regimens and Patient-led Isometric Contraction Protocols.

Project description:The evidence for lower limb flap (LLF) training regimens is equivocal. The commonest cause of LLF failure is venous congestion. The aim of this study was to investigate whether venous congestion could be reduced by patient-led isometric calf contractions during flap training. A prospective clinical study was conducted using photospectroscopy and laser Doppler (Oxygen to See) to assess healthy limbs and LLF characteristics during flap training and isometric calf contractions. Tissue oxygen saturation, venous congestion, and blood flow were measured at rest, as well as during and after limb dangling and calf contraction exercises. In the acute postoperative period following LLF surgery, dependency markedly reduced superficial flow (-55.20% ± 19.17%), with a concurrent increase in venous congestion (33.80% ± 28.80%); supine isometric contractions improved superficial flow and reduced venous congestion from postoperative day 5. Contractions cause a significant increase in blood flow in the outpatient cohort (+84.40% ± 7.86%, P = 0.009), with a mean time since discharge of 14 weeks. Our data suggest patient-led isometric calf exercises are well tolerated and may reduce venous congestion in the acute phase. Progressive changes toward normal physiological function were demonstrated in the outpatient rehabilitation period. Incorporating calf exercises into LLF rehabilitation may allow longer periods of leg dependency, quicker recovery from surgery, and ultimately improve outcomes.

Measuring light regularity: sleep regularity is associated with regularity of light exposure in adolescents.

Project description:Study objectivesLight is the main time cue for the human circadian system. Sleep and light are intrinsically linked; light exposure patterns can influence sleep patterns and sleep can influence light exposure patterns. However, metrics for quantifying light regularity are lacking, and the relationship between sleep and light regularity is underexplored. We developed new metrics for light regularity and demonstrated their utility in adolescents, across school term and vacation.MethodsDaily sleep/wake and light patterns were measured using wrist actigraphy in 75 adolescents (54% male, 17.17 ± 0.83 years) over 2 weeks of school term and a subsequent 2-week vacation. The Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) and social jetlag were computed for each 2-week block. Light regularity was assessed using (1) variation in mean daily light timing (MLiT); (2) variation in daily photoperiod; and (3) the Light Regularity Index (LRI). Associations between SRI and each light regularity metric were examined, and within-individual changes in metrics were examined between school and vacation.ResultsHigher SRI was significantly associated with more regular LRI scores during both school and vacation. There were no significant associations of SRI with variation in MLiT or daily photoperiod. Compared to school term, all three light regularity metrics were less variable during the vacation.ConclusionsLight regularity is a multidimensional construct, which until now has not been formally defined. Irregular sleep patterns are associated with lower LRI, indicating that irregular sleepers also have irregular light inputs to the circadian system, which likely contributes to circadian disruption.
