Hölder Scales of Sea Level

Abstract

The statistics of sea level is essential in the field of geosciences, ranging from ocean dynamics to climates. The fractal properties of sea level, such as long-range dependence (LRD) or long memory,1/fnoise behavior, and self-similarity (SS), are known. However, the description of its multiscale behavior as well as local roughness with the Hölder exponenth(t)from a view of multifractional Brownian motion (mBm) is rarely reported, to the best of our knowledge. In this research, we will exhibit that there is the multiscale property of sea level based onh(t)s of sea level data recorded by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) at six stations in the Florida and Eastern Gulf of Mexico. The contributions of this paper are twofold as follows. (i) Hölder exponent of sea level may not change with time considerably at small time scale, for example, daily time scale, but it varies significantly at large time scale, such as at monthly time scale. (ii) The dispersion of the Hölder exponents of sea level may be different at different stations. This implies that the Hölder roughness of sea level may be spatial dependent.

Optimal Tolerance Design and Optimization for a Pharmaceutical Quality Characteristic

“…Based on the results of this paper, a significant extension to support multiple quality characteristics can be a potential future research topic. In addition, current interesting issues, related to fractals associated with fractal dimension and Hurst parameter [52][53][54][55][56][57][58] in the field of pharmaceutical science and technology, can be incorporated into the proposed robust-tolerance design optimization method. By observing the fractal phenomena, these possible further approaches may achieve the realization of process understanding (PU) and process analysis technology (PAT) in pharmaceutical processes.…”

Vibration Control of Fractionally-Damped Beam Subjected to a Moving Vehicle and Attached to Fractionally-Damped Multiabsorbers

“…A fractal time series is taken as the solution of differential equation of a fractional order, or a response of a fractional system, or a fractional filter driven with a white noise in the domain of stochastic processes [11,12]. A general approach for approximating ideal filters that are based on fractional calculus from the point of view of systems of fractional order was introduced [13,14]. A new direct operational inversion method is introduced for solving coupled linear systems of ordinary fractional differential equations, where the obtained solutions are expressed explicitly in terms of multivariate Mittag-Leffler functions [9,15,16].…”

Adaptive Rate Control Algorithm for H.264/AVC Considering Scene Change

“…For the bounded modeling based approaches, the fundamental is network calculus [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. For the stochastic modeling, the fractal time series is essential [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Li et al provides a Holder exponent to describe the fractal time series [21] and use it to investigate the scaling phenomena of traffic data [22].…”

While the rate control technology belongs to the compression layer method, it compresses the original video sequences according to the needs of the application and the available bandwidth.…”
