We introduce a notion of non-local almost minimal boundaries similar to that introduced by Almgren in geometric measure theory. Extending methods developed recently for non-local minimal surfaces we prove that flat non-local almost minimal boundaries are smooth. This can be viewed as a non-local version of the Almgren-…

SCRAM accelerates image attention computation to O(n log(n)) from O(n^2).

Recently, it was demonstrated in [CS2012,CS2013] that the robustness of the classical Non-Local Means (NLM) algorithm [BCM2005] can be improved by incorporating $\ell^p (0 < p \leq 2)$ regression into the NLM framework. This general optimization framework, called Non-Local Patch Regression (NLPR), contains NLM as a spe…

Neural networks with a large number of parameters admit a mean-field description, which has recently served as a theoretical explanation for the favorable training properties of "overparameterized" models. In this regime, gradient descent obeys a deterministic partial differential equation (PDE) that converges to a glo…

Non-local GNNs improve performance on disassortative graphs.

Many inference problems in structured prediction are naturally solved by augmenting a tractable dependency structure with complex, non-local auxiliary objectives. This includes the mean field family of variational inference algorithms, soft- or hard-constrained inference using Lagrangian relaxation or linear programmin…

It is argued that the enlargement of the gauge group found in non-commutative gauge theory is more fundamentally thought of as a consequence of the non-locality of the construction and that it was already encountered in an earlier discussion of a non-local gauge theory.

Study shows how curved surfaces evolve smoothly to spherical shapes.

In this paper, we study two kind of L^2 norm preserved non-local heat flows on closed manifolds. We first study the global existence, stability and asymptotic behavior to such non-local heat flows. Next we give the gradient estimates of positive solutions to these heat flows.

Two non-local asymptotic invariants of magnetic fields for the ideal magnetohydrodynamics are introduced. The velocity of variation of the invariants for a non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics with a small magnetic dissipation is estimated. By means of the invariants the spectra of electromagnetic fields are investigated. A …

The ability to witness non-local correlations lies at the core of foundational aspects of quantum mechanics and its application in the processing of information. Commonly, this is achieved via the violation of Bell inequalities. Unfortunately, however, their systematic derivation quickly becomes unfeasible as the scena…

This paper improves image super-resolution by integrating cross-scale non-local attention.

We study bi-Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type with non-singular (semisimple) non-local bi-Hamiltonian structures and prove that such systems of hydrodynamic type are diagonalizable. Moreover, we prove that for an arbitrary non-singular (semisimple) non-locally bi-Hamiltonian system of hydrodynamic type, there ex…

In this paper, we study CAT(0) spaces with non-locally connected boundary. We give some condition of a CAT(0) space whose boundary is not locally connected.

In this paper, we study global existence and blow up properties to $L^p$ norm preserving non-local heat flows. We first study two kinds of $L^p$ norm preserving non-local flows and prove that these flows have the global solutions. Finally, we give a example to show that one kind of this heat flow may blow up in $L^{\in…

NL-LinkNet improves road extraction from satellite images with fewer parameters and faster training.

We study the long time existence theory for a non local flow associated to a free boundary problem for a trapped non liquid drop. The drop has free boundary components on two horizontal plates and its free energy is anisotropic and axially symmetric. For axially symmetric initial surfaces with sufficiently large volume…

Backward stochastic partial differential equations of parabolic type in bounded domains are studied in the setting where the coercivity condition is not necessary satisfied and the equation can be degenerate. Some generalized solutions based on the representation theorem are suggested. In addition to problems with a st…

Scientific discovery is limited by hypothesis redundancy, and hybrid methods can exploit non-local exploration.

In this paper, we consider a kind of area preserving non-local flow for convex curves in the plane. We show that the flow exists globally, the length of evolving curve is non-increasing, and the curve converges to a circle in C^{\infty} sense as time goes into infinity.

This article addresses the two significant aspects of Ozsváth and Szabó's knot Floer cube of resolutions that differentiate it from Khovanov and Rozansky's HOMFLY-PT chain complex: (1) the use of twisted coefficients and (2) the appearance of a mysterious non-local ideal. Our goal is to facilitate progress on Rasmussen…

It is shown that the qc Yamabe problem has a solution on any compact qc manifold which is non-locally qc equivalent to the standard 3-Sasakian sphere. Namely, it is proved that on a compact non-locally spherical qc manifold there exists a qc conformal qc structure with constant qc scalar curvature

New boundary conditions solve Cauchy problem for Dirac operators on spacetimes.

We study the localization of sets with constant nonlocal mean curvature and prescribed small volume in a bounded open set with smooth boundary, proving that they are {\em sufficiently close} to critical points of a suitable non-local potential. We then consider the fractional perimeter in half-spaces. We prove the exis…

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that results in focal injury to the grey and white matter. The presence of white matter lesions biases morphometric analyses such as registration, individual longitudinal measurements and tissue segmentation for brain v…

Deep learning has shown its great promise in various biomedical image segmentation tasks. Existing models are typically based on U-Net and rely on an encoder-decoder architecture with stacked local operators to aggregate long-range information gradually. However, only using the local operators limits the efficiency and…

Study of Dirac equation with non-local nonlinearity on spheres.

We study conformal metrics on $R^3$, i.e., metrics of the form $g_u=e^{2u}|dx|^2$, which have constant $Q$-curvature and finite volume. This is equivalent to studying the non-local equation $(-Δ)^\frac32 u = 2 e^{3u}$ in $R^3$ $V:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}e^{3u}dx<\infty,$ where $V$ is the volume of $g_u$. Adapting a te…

3D Axial-Attention improves lung nodule classification accuracy.

We discuss a class of (local and non-local) theories of gravity that share same properties: i) they admit the Einstein spacetime with arbitrary cosmological constant as a solution; ii) the on-shell action of such a theory vanishes and iii) any (cosmological or black hole) horizon in the Einstein spacetime with a positi…

We propose an extension of the differential system for constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in a three dimensional space form to an associated hierarchy of evolution equations by the higher-order commuting symmetries. The infinite sequence of higher-order conservation laws of CMC surfaces admit the corresponding exte…

We study an interacting particle system in $\mathbf{R}^d$ motivated by Stein variational gradient descent [Q. Liu and D. Wang, NIPS 2016], a deterministic algorithm for sampling from a given probability density with unknown normalization. We prove that in the large particle limit the empirical measure of the particle s…

We construct the most general reducible connection that satisfies the self-dual Yang-Mills equations on a simply connected, open subset of flat $\mathbb{R}^4$. We show how all such connections lie in the orbit of the flat connection on $\mathbb{R}^4$ under the action of non-local symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills …

We consider the action on instanton moduli spaces of the non-local symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations on $\mathbb{R}^4$ discovered by Chau and coauthors. Beginning with the ADHM construction, we show that a sub-algebra of the symmetry algebra generates the tangent space to the instanton moduli space at ea…
