Metrizability of spaces of holomorphic functions

In this paper we prove that if U is an open subset of a metrizable locally convex space E of infinite dimension, the space H(U) of all holomorphic functions on U, endowed with the Nachbin–Coeuré topology τδ, is not metrizable. Our result can be applied to get that, for all usual topologies, H(U) is metrizable if and only if E has finite dimension. RESUMEN. En este artículo se demuestra que si U es un abierto en un espacio E localmente convexo metrizable de dimensión infinita y H(U) es el espacio de funciones holomorfas en U, entonces la topología de Nachbin-Coeuré en H(U) no es metrizable. Este resultado se utiliza para demostrar que las topologías habituales en H(U) son metrizables si y sólo si E tiene dimensión finita.

Vector spaces of entire functions of unbounded type

Let E be an infinite dimensional complex Banach space. We prove the existence of an infinitely generated algebra, an infinite dimensional closed subspace and a dense subspace of entire functions on E whose non-zero elements are functions of unbounded type. We also show that the τδ topology on the space of all holomorphic functions cannot be obtained as a countable inductive limit of Fr´echet spaces. RESUMEN. Sea E un espacio de Banach complejo de dimensión infinita y sea H(E) el espacio de funciones holomorfas definidas en E. En el artículo se demuestra la existencia de un álgebra infinitamente generada en H(E), un subespacio vectorial en H(E) cerrado de dimensión infinita y un subespacio denso en H(E) cuyos elementos no nulos son funciones de tipo no acotado. También se demuestra que el espacio de funciones holomorfas con la topología ? no es un límite inductivo numberable de espacios de Fréchet.

Criterios de selección de una estructura favorable para un almacenamiento de gas natural : Aplicación a escala de cuenca en la Península Ibérica

RESUMEN Este proyecto ha tenido por objetivo el estudio de la viabilidad de instalar un nuevo almacenamiento subterráneo de gas natural en España.

Una vez escogido el domo salino, el estudio se centró en localizar una ubicación lo más favorable posible siendo el domo salino de Salinas de Añana el elegido. Una vez elegido el domo se procedió al estudio de la viabilidad técnica de la instalación; para ello se utilizaron estudios geológicos, gavimétricos y sondeos. Tras estos estudios se concluyó que en el domo salino de Salinas de Añana es posible la instalación de un almacenamiento subterráneo de gas natural y se procedió a la caracterización del almacenamiento. ABSTRACT This project has considered of installing a new underground natural gas storage in Spain. Among the different possibilities to place a natural gas storage, the salt dome was chosen because it was the geological strucutrure where the project was easier and more interesting economically. After that the study focused on looking for the location as favorable as possible. The best place was the salt dome of Salinas de Añana. Before the salt dome of Salinas de Añana was chosen this project tried to know if the setting-up of a natural gas storage is technical feasibility. For that were used geological studies, gravity studies and drillings. These studies concluded that is possible the setting-up and the study tried to describe technically this storage.

Intentions: a confident-based interaction design for smart spaces

The paradigm of ubiquitous computing has become a reference for the design of Smart Spaces. Current trends in Ambient Intelligence are increasingly related to the scope of Internet of Things. This paradigm has the potential to support cost-effective solutions in the fields of telecare, e-health and Ambient Assisted Living. Nevertheless, ubiquitous computing does not provide end users with a role for proactive interactions with the environment. Thus, the deployment of smart health care services at a private space like the home is still unsolved. This PhD dissertation aims to define a person-environment interaction model to foster acceptability and users confidence in private spaces by applying the concept of user-centred security and the human performance model of seven stages of action.

On some sampling-related frames in U-invariant spaces

This paper concerns the characterization as frames of some sequences in U-invariant spaces of a separable Hilbert space H where U denotes an unitary operator defined on H ; besides, the dual frames having the same form are also found. This general setting includes, in particular, shift-invariant or modulation-invariant subspaces in L2 (R), where these frames are intimately related to the generalized sampling problem. We also deal with some related perturbation problems. In so doing, we need that the unitary operator U belongs to a continuous group of unitary operators.

NFC based remote control of services for interactive spaces

Ubiquitous computing (one person, many computers) is the third era in the history of computing. It follows the mainframe era (many people, one computer) and the PC era (one person, one computer). Ubiquitous computing empowers people to communicate with services by interacting with their surroundings. Most of these so called smart environments contain sensors sensing users’ actions and try to predict the users’ intentions and necessities based on sensor data. The main drawback of this approach is that the system might perform unexpected or unwanted actions, making the user feel out of control. In this master thesis we propose a different procedure based on Interactive Spaces: instead of predicting users’ intentions based on sensor data, the system reacts to users’ explicit predefined actions. To that end, we present REACHeS, a server platform which enables communication among services, resources and users located in the same environment. With REACHeS, a user controls services and resources by interacting with everyday life objects and using a mobile phone as a mediator between himself/herself, the system and the environment. REACHeS’ interfaces with a user are built upon NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. NFC tags are attached to objects in the environment. A tag stores commands that are sent to services when a user touches the tag with his/her NFC enabled device. The prototypes and usability tests presented in this thesis show the great potential of NFC to build such user interfaces.

Identification of pore spaces in 3D CT soil images using a PFCM partitional clustering

Recent advances in non-destructive imaging techniques, such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), make it possible to analyse pore space features from the direct visualisation from soil structures. A quantitative characterisation of the three-dimensional solid-pore architecture is important to understand soil mechanics, as they relate to the control of biological, chemical, and physical processes across scales. This analysis technique therefore offers an opportunity to better interpret soil strata, as new and relevant information can be obtained. In this work, we propose an approach to automatically identify the pore structure of a set of 200-2D images that represent slices of an original 3D CT image of a soil sample, which can be accomplished through non-linear enhancement of the pixel grey levels and an image segmentation based on a PFCM (Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Means) algorithm. Once the solids and pore spaces have been identified, the set of 200-2D images is then used to reconstruct an approximation of the soil sample by projecting only the pore spaces. This reconstruction shows the structure of the soil and its pores, which become more bounded, less bounded, or unbounded with changes in depth. If the soil sample image quality is sufficiently favourable in terms of contrast, noise and sharpness, the pore identification is less complicated, and the PFCM clustering algorithm can be used without additional processing; otherwise, images require pre-processing before using this algorithm. Promising results were obtained with four soil samples, the first of which was used to show the algorithm validity and the additional three were used to demonstrate the robustness of our proposal. The methodology we present here can better detect the solid soil and pore spaces on CT images, enabling the generation of better 2D?3D representations of pore structures from segmented 2D images.

In this work the challenges that will face the natural areas of the Canary Islands are studied, as well as their fundamental value for economic and environmental development of the islands.

On the nullstellensätze for stein spaces and C-analytic sets.

In this work we prove the real Nullstellensatz for the ring O(X) of analytic functions on a C-analytic set X ⊂ Rn in terms of the saturation of Łojasiewicz’s radical in O(X): The ideal I(Ƶ(a)) of the zero-set Ƶ(a) of an ideal a of O(X) coincides with the saturation (Formula presented) of Łojasiewicz’s radical (Formula presented). If Ƶ(a) has ‘good properties’ concerning Hilbert’s 17th Problem, then I(Ƶ(a)) = (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) stands for the real radical of a. The same holds if we replace (Formula presented) with the real-analytic radical (Formula presented) of a, which is a natural generalization of the real radical ideal in the C-analytic setting. We revisit the classical results concerning (Hilbert’s) Nullstellensatz in the framework of (complex) Stein spaces. Let a be a saturated ideal of O(Rn) and YRn the germ of the support of the coherent sheaf that extends aORn to a suitable complex open neighborhood of Rn. We study the relationship between a normal primary decomposition of a and the decomposition of YRn as the union of its irreducible components. If a:= p is prime, then I(Ƶ(p)) = p if and only if the (complex) dimension of YRn coincides with the (real) dimension of Ƶ(p).
