A Modifying Model is developed which sharpens the 24 hour position forecast issued by the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction model (NOGAPS) 24 hours into a selected, mid-latitude, Central Pacific cyclone. The technique involves measuring cyclone characteristics within the first 24 hours and using these values in regression equations to provide improved forecasts for the next 24 hour position forecast. Generally, the modified position forecasts are to the left and ahead of the NOGAPS...

This memo extends the results for Tech Memo 11. By use of simulation, two EEP ellipses, one or both inappropriately (by use of the wrong statistic) normalized, are combined. The probability (obtained by simulating the ellipse combination 1000 times) of the resultant ellipse containing the target is then compared to the theoretical result. Keywords: Simulation, EEP, Chi square statistic, F-statistic, Confidence Level, Variance, Covariance, Ellipse combination, Sample size.

Unstructured methods for region discretization have become common in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis because of certain benefits they have over structured meshes (where the discretization of the domain reflects some type of consistent geometrical regularity). Unstructured meshes are powerful tools for efficiently defining complex geometries and also lend themselves to analysis techniques such as adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) where the properties of the mesh adapt to the properties...

A classical inequality due to Bernstein which estimates the norm of polynomials on any given ellipse in terms of their norm on any smaller ellipse with the same foci is examined. For the uniform and a certain weighted uniform norm, and for the case that the two ellipses are not too close, sharp estimates of this type were derived and the corresponding extremal polynomials were determined. These Bernstein type inequalities are closely connected with certain constrained Chebyshev approximation...

Given the proper interpretation the perpendicular method may be thought of as a version of ellipse combination. A number of observations about this relationship will be made in this memo. The sections of this memo correspond to different major points or point of views. To summarize these are: 1. Geometric interpretation of lines of bearings as ellipses. 2. Interpretation of EEPs (Error Ellipse Probable) as a geometric combination of lines of bearing in the ellipse format. 3. Algebraic version...

Some of the most useful and important tools in the study of elliptic boundary value problems are maximum principles. So called strong maximum principles provide strict inequalities when appropriate conditions are fulfilled. In this work a strong maximum principle is improved by exhibiting an explicit estimate sharper than what follows from usual arguments. (Author)

Multigrid methods have been established as being among the most efficient techniques for solving complex elliptic equations. We sketch the multigrid idea emphasizing that multigrid solution is generally obtainable in time directly proportional to the number of unknown variables on serial computers. Despite this, even the most powerful serial computers are not adequate for solving the very large systems generated, for instance by discretization of fluid flow in three dimensions. A breakthrough...

This document considers a system of ordinary differential equations of the form (*) q + V sub q (t,q) = f(t) where f and V are periodic in t, V is periodic in the components of q = (q sub 1,..., q sub m), and the mean value of f vanishes. By showing that a corresponding functional is invariant under a natural Z sub n action, a simple variational argument yields at least n + 1 distinct periodic solutions of (*). More general versions of (*) are also treated as is a class of Neumann problems for...

Special solutions of the Yang-Mills field equations of theoretical physics may be obtained by solving a boundary value problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation in a two dimensional half space. This equation degenerates at the boundary of the region and this degeneracy makes it a delicate matter to study how the solutions behave near the boundary. In this work it is proved that the weak solutions previously known to exist are in fact smooth up to the boundary.

A new debris disk has been imaged in visible light around the G2V star HD 202628 using the STIS coronagraph on the Hubble Space Telescope. The broad ring is inclined 61 deg from face-on and extends as far as 260 AU from the star. The star is noticeably displaced from the apparent ring center by 20 AU. The ring inner edge is sharp and well-described by an inclined ellipse with a= 158 AU, e= 0.18, and the star at one focus. These properties are similar to the Fomalhaut debris ring and likewise...

This report compares the probability contained in the Circular Error Probable associated with an Elliptical Error Probable to that of the EEP at a given confidence level. The levels examined are 50 percent and 95 percent. The CEP is found to be both more conservative and less conservative than the associated EEP, depending on the eccentricity of the ellipse. The formulas used are derived in the appendix.

The problem is that of finding among all polynomials of degree at most n and normalized to be 1 at c the one with minimal uniform norm on Epsilon. Here, Epsilon is a given ellipse with both foci on the real axis and c is a given real point not contained in Epsilon. Problems of this type arise in certain iterative matrix computations and, in this context, it is generally believed and widely referenced that suitably normalized Chebyshev polynomials are optimal for such constrained approximation...

Ellipsis in English can occur in many different forms. A large class of ellipses is isolated, encompassing such traditionally distinct linguistic rules as Right-node Raising, Gapping, VP-Deletion, Coordinate Reduction, and other phenomena which crosses sentence boundaries. The members of this class of ellipses involve implicit or explicit coordination. A uniform algorithm implemented in the UC (Unix Consultant) natural language system resolves the ellipses in this class, and constraints are...

A procedure is developed that, in two iterations, solves the hyperbolic Kepler's equation in a very efficient manner, and to an accuracy that proves to be always better than 10 to the minus 20th power (relative truncation error). Earlier work on the elliptic equation has been extended by the development of a new procedure that solves to a maximum relative error of 10 to the minus 14th power. Keywords: Great Britain.

This research addressed a class of exact solutions for the Navier Stokes equations which: are valid for basic flows with shear; can be time- dependent and non parallel, fully three-dimensional, and offer closed-form functions for the perturbation field. Linearized initial-value problems can be completely solved by this method. Problems which were studied in the course of the research included the elliptic vortex, linear initial value problems, and exact solutions to the Navier Stokes equations.

The best-fit parameters of an elliptical Gaussian model are: major axis a = 3.55 +/- 0.33 mas, axial ratio r = 0.30 +/- 0.03, position angle phi = -59 deg +/- 4 deg....

The finite element method has three versions: the h-version, the p-version and the h-p version. In the h-version, increased accuracy is achieved by decreasing the mesh size h while keeping p, the degree of elements used fixed (usually p = 1,2,3). Int he p-version, a fixed mesh is used while the degree p of elements are either uniformly or selectively increased to achieve accuracy. The h-p version is a combination of both. The standard h-version has been thoroughly investigated and many...

In model-based recognition of vehicles, wheels can play a key role. Certainly, they are the most prominent features of a vehicle. However, finding wheels in an image is a difficult task. Generally, a wheel appears as an ellipse in an image. An obvious way of finding ellipses is to use the Hough transform. The difficulty is that the search space is 5-dimensional. This curse of dimensionality is with us no matter what method we use to search for the ellipses. We use a stero pair of images to...
