      Viscoplastic flow in an extrusion damper 

      Syrakos, A.; Dimakopoulos, Yannis; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Tsamopoulos, J. (2016)
      Numerical simulations of the flow in an extrusion damper are performed using a finite volume method. The damper is assumed to consist of a shaft, with or without a spherical bulge, oscillating axially in a containing ...

      Viscoplastic Poiseuille flow in a rectangular duct with wall slip 

      Damianou, Y.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2014)
      We solve numerically the Poiseuille flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid in a duct of rectangular cross section under the assumption that slip occurs along the wall following a slip law involving a non-zero slip yield stress. ...

      The Voltera model and its relation to the Toda lattice 

      Damianou, Pantelis A. (1991)
      An integrable system associated with a lattice deformation of the Virasoro algebra is studied. It is shown that this system, known as the Volterra model, is dynamically and algebraically equivalent to the finite non-periodic ...

      Volterra's realization of the KM-system 

      Agrotis, Maria A.; Damianou, Pantelis A. (2007)
      We construct a symplectic realization of the KM-system and obtain the higher order Poisson tensors and commuting flows via the use of a recursion operator. This is achieved by doubling the number of variables through ...

      Wall shear rates in circular couette flow of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid 

      Chatzimina, Maria Evangelia; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2009)
      The objective of this work is to study quantitatively the errors introduced by the standard Newtonian and power-law assumptions used in the determination of the material properties of viscoplastic fluids from circular ...

      A warp-speed method for conducting Monte Carlo experiments involving bootstrap estimators 

      Giacomini, R.; Politis, Dimitris Nicolas; White, H. (2013)
      We analyze fast procedures for conducting Monte Carlo experiments involving bootstrap estimators, providing formal results establishing the properties of these methods under general conditions. © 2012 Cambridge University Press.

      Wave energy potential in the Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin. An integrated 10-year study 

      Zodiatis, George; Galanis, G.; Nikolaidis, A.; Kalogeri, C.; Hayes, D.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Chu, P. C.; Kallos, George B. (2014)
      The main characteristics of wave energy potential over Eastern Mediterranean Levantine Basin, an area of increased interest for energy resources exploration/exploitation, is presented in this work. In particular, an ...

      Wavelet analysis and its statistical applications 

      Abramovich, F.; Bailey, T. C.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2000)
      In recent years there has been a considerable development in the use of wavelet methods in statistics. As a result, we are now at the stage where it is reasonable to consider such methods to be another standard tool of the ...

      Wavelet coefficients measuring smoothness in H p(ℝd) 

      Kyriazis, George C. (1996)
      We investigate the connection between Besov spaces and certain approximation subspaces of the Hardy spaces Hp(ℝd), 0 < p ≤ 1. In particular, we establish the wavelet decompositions for the Hp(ℝd) spaces and we characterize ...

      Wavelet compression and nonlinear n-widths 

      DeVore, R. A.; Kyriazis, George C.; Leviatan, D.; Tikhomirov, V. M. (1993)
      It is shown that certain algorithms of compression based on wavelet decompositions are optimal in the sense of nonlinear n-widths. © 1993 J.C. Baltzer AG, Science Publishers.

      Wavelet density estimation for weighted data 

      Cutillo, L.; De Feis, I.; Nikolaidou, C.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2014)
      We consider the estimation of a density function on the basis of a random sample from a weighted distribution. We propose linear and nonlinear wavelet density estimators, and provide their asymptotic formulae for mean ...

      Wavelet estimators in nonparametric regression: A comparative simulation study 

      Antoniadis, Anestis; Bigot, J.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2001)
      Wavelet analysis has been found to be a powerful tool for the nonparametric estimation of spatially-variable objects. We discuss in detail wavelet methods in nonparametric regression, where the data are modelled as ...

      Wavelet instruments for efficiency gains in generalized method of moment models 

      Michis, A.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2007)
      We propose a simple computational method in the context of generalized method of moments for improving the efficiency of regression coefficient estimates. The gains in efficiency arise by incorporating additional moment ...

      Wavelet methods for continuous-time prediction using Hilbert-valued autoregressive processes 

      Antoniadis, Anestis; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2003)
      We consider the prediction problem of a continuous-time stochastic process on an entire time-interval in terms of its recent past. The approach we adopt is based on the notion of autoregressive Hilbert processes that ...

      Wavelet packet transfer function modelling of nonstationary time series 

      Nason, G. P.; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2002)
      This article shows how a non-decimated wavelet packet transform (NWPT) can be used to model a response time series, Yt in terms of an explanatory time series, Xt. The proposed computational technique transform the explanatory ...

      Wavelet shrinkage for natural exponential families with quadratic variance functions 

      Antoniadis, Anestis; Sapatinas, Theofanis (2001)
      We propose a wavelet shrinkage methodology for univariate natural exponential families with quadratic variance functions, covering the Gaussian, Poisson, gamma, binomial, negative binomial and generalised hyperbolic secant ...

      Wavelet thresholding via a Bayesian approach 

      Abramovich, F.; Sapatinas, Theofanis; Silverman, B. W. (1998)
      We discuss a Bayesian formalism which gives rise to a type of wavelet threshold estimation in nonparametric regression. A prior distribution is imposed on the wavelet coefficients of the unknown response function, designed ...
