    • Generalised Fourier transform for the Camassa-Holm hierarchy 

      IVANOV, ROSSEN (Institute of Physics, 2007)
      The squared eigenfunctions of the spectral problem associated to the Camassa-Holm equation represent a complete basis of functions, which helps to describe the Inverse Scattering Transform for the Camassa-Holm hierarchy ...

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (IEEE, 2006)
      The recent development of large FPGAs along with the availability of a variety of floating point cores have made it possible to implement high-performance matrix and vector kernel operations on FPGAs. In this paper we seek ...

      PEARDON, MICHAEL JAMES (American Physical Society, 2004)
      An analytic method of smearing link variables in lattice QCD is proposed and tested. The differentiability of the smearing scheme with respect to the link variables permits the use of modern Monte Carlo updating methods ...
