    Local sampling and approximation of operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbols

    No full text
    Recent sampling theorems allow for the recovery of operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbols from their response to a single discretely supported identifier signal. The available results are inherently non-local. For example, we show that in order to recover a bandlimited operator precisely, the identifier cannot decay in time nor in frequency. Moreover, a concept of local and discrete representation is missing from the theory. In this paper, we develop tools that address these shortcomings. We show that to obtain a local approximation of an operator, it is sufficient to test the operator on a truncated and mollified delta train, that is, on a compactly supported Schwarz class function. To compute the operator numerically, discrete measurements can be obtained from the response function which are localized in the sense that a local selection of the values yields a local approximation of the operator. Central to our analysis is to conceptualize the meaning of localization for operators with bandlimited Kohn-Nirenberg symbol

    Masterarbeit, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, 2017Das Thema von Rainald Goetz – Autor der Bücher Irre, Krieg, Kontrolliert, Festung, Heute Morgen und Schlucht – ist die Gegenwart: Wahrnehmung, Beschreibung und Kritik aus seinem gelebten Leben heraus. Leben heißt Handeln und Handeln heißt bei Rainald Goetz auch immer Schreiben. In keinem anderen Werkabschnitt hat sich Rainald Goetz so umfassend mit der Gegenwart beschäftigt und sich so umfangreich zu ihr geäußert, wie in dem in den 90er Jahren entstandenen Heute Morgen-Komplex. Durch die Aufnahme früherer Schreibtechniken und die Ausbildung späterer können die fünf Bücher dieses Werkkomplexes, wenn nicht als repräsentativ, so doch als exemplarisch für die Poetik Rainald Goetz’ angesehen werden. Diese Arbeit will dem Werk Rainald Goetz’ vom »Zauberort des Geistes und des Geistigen«, wie die Universität bei ihm bezeichnet wird, entgegentreten. Denn wo alle Ordnung wahnhaft ist und das wesentliche Strukturmerkmal der Welterfassung Expansion heißt, muss eine Ordnung gefunden werden, um Leben, Werk und Wirkung Rainald Goetz’ zu fassen. Die dazu notwendigen Kategorien sind Autor, Text und Leser. Anhand dieser soll der Komplex inhaltlich, formal und rezeptiv gefasst, analysiert und dargestellt werden, um Rainald Goetz’ Umgang mit der Gegenwart im Einzelnen betrachten und im Ganzen darstellen zu können. »Und jetzt, los ihr Ärsche, ab ins Subito.«The subject of Rainald Goetz – author of the books Irre, Krieg, Kontrolliert, Festung, Heute Morgen and Schlucht – is the present: perception, description and criticism on the basis of his own life. For Goetz living means acting and acting always means writing. In no other section of his work has Rainald Goetz dealt with the present so comprehensively and commented on it as extensively as in the Heute Morgen-Complex, created in the 90s. By including earlier writing techniques and the later development of further ones, the five books of this work complex can be regarded, if not as representative, but as exemplary for the poetics of Rainald Goetz. This thesis seeks to counter the work of Rainald Goetz of the »magic place of spirit and the spiritual«, as the university is called by him. For where all order is delusional and the essential structural world-conception is expansion, an order must be found to grasp the life, work and impact of Rainald Goetz. The necessary categories for this purpose are author, text and reader. On this basis, the complex will be summarized, analyzed and presented in terms of content, form and receptivity, in order to be able to view Rainald Goetz’ handling of the present in detail and to present it as a whole. »And now, you suckers, to the subito.

    Identification of Matrices Having a Sparse Representation

    No full text
    We consider the problem of recovering a matrix from its action on a known vector in the setting where the matrix can be represented efficiently in a known matrix dictionary. Connections with sparse signal recovery allows for the use of efficient reconstruction techniques such as basis pursuit. Of particular interest is the dictionary of time-frequency shift matrices and its role for channel estimation and identification in communications engineering. We present recovery results for basis pursuit with the time-frequency shift dictionary and various dictionaries of random matrices.</p

    Land Grabbing and Home Country Development : Chinese and British Land Acquisitions in Comparative Perspective /

    No full text
    Between 2000 and 2016, China and the UK acquired large areas of land through investment projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. Illustrated by numerous rich and nuanced empirical accounts of such projects, Ariane Goetz explains the global phenomenon of 'land grabbing' from the perspective of two investor countries. She reflects on Chinese and British public policy, state-society relations, national developmental contexts, ideologies, and international relations and thereby gives insights into the political economies that enable these investments as well as the development ambitions and institutionalized paradigms of which they form a part.Between 2000 and 2016, China and the UK acquired large areas of land through investment projects in Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Prole politics – adaptation as appropriation of techno in the works of Rainald Goetz

    No full text
    In this article, I will argue for a different notion of adaptation as a form of appropriation that allows a more productive analysis of the literary works of German author Rainald Goetz. Therefore I will draw on a specific understanding of pop music, which derives from Diedrich Diederichsen 'Über Pop-Musik' (On pop music). According to Diederichsen, pop-music is not limited to certain kinds of music, but moreover to the practices pop-music entails

    Zeit, Literatur und Sinn: Zu den Poetiken von Botho Strauß und Rainald Goetz

    No full text
    Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit den Poetiken von Botho Strauß und Rainald Goetz, in denen Zeit und Literatur sowie Zeiterfahrung und Sinnerfahrung auf der Ebene der Sinnkonstruktion in der Literatur eng verknüpft sind. Botho Strauß, ein reaktionärer Autor, und Rainald Goetz, ein anti-elitärer Pop-Autor, betrachten trotz ihrer gegensätzlich konzipierten poetologischen Programme die Literatur als den besten Möglichkeitsraum der Sinnherstellung und Sinnerfahrung. Davon ausgehend untersucht diese Arbeit ihre Poetiken, nämlich die Poetik der Erinnerung (Strauß) und die Poetik des Jetzt (Goetz) und versucht dabei, den Umgang der beiden Schriftsteller mit der Zeit, der Sprache und der Welt zu beleuchten. Grundlegend für die gesamte Analyse ist der Gesichtspunkt, dass es in ihren Poetiken unter anderem um ein Ereignis, um die ästhetische Erfahrung eines plötzlichen Augenblicks, geht, in dem man den im Alltag verlorenen Sinn wiedergewinnt oder das Sinnvolle, das Schöne und das Wahre als Unbeschreibbares und Neues entsteht. In dieser Arbeit gilt die These, dass sich ein solcher Augenblick, ein erfüllter Moment, insbesondere in der Sprache verwirklicht. Davon ausgehend kommt diese Arbeit zu dem Schluss, dass beide Autoren vor allem in der Schrift, wie auch überhaupt in der Kunst, die sogenannte Erlösung finden wollen.We live in time and we live in a world of language. Given these conditions, we ask ourselves ‘What is literature?’ and ‘How should we live our lives?’. What matters is the seeking of meaning, especially meaning of literature and life. This dissertation explores Botho Strauß’s poetic of Recollection (Erinnerung) and Rainald Goetz’s poetic of Now (Jetzt), in which experience of time and experience of meaning, in other words, time and literature as a medium of experience of meaning, are closely connected. By analyzing these poetics this dissertation tries to show that the conservative author Strauß and the anti-elite pop-author Goetz regard, in spite of the differences in their poetical code, literature as the ultimate space of possibility to generate and experience meaning. This dissertation looks, then, into the two author’s perspective on time, language and tries to demonstrate that a crucial element of their poetics lies in the longing for an Accident (Ereignis), that is to say the aesthetic experience of a sudden moment, in which the missing meaning is rerecognised or something meaningful and truthful springs up. In this dissertation the proposition is valid that such a moment is most of all realized in language

    Psiquiatría y esquizofrenia en Büchner, Nerval y Goetz

    No full text
    The term schizophrenia comes from the field of psychiatry. According to French psychiatrists Lemoine and Cyrulnik (2016), this is a questionable concept. Created in 1908 by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939), this term means "divided mind." In the field of literature, Todorov (2011) turns to the work of the psychiatrist J. S. Kasanin (who in 1933 implemented the concept “schizoaffective disorder”), to propose the characteristics of the characters in fantasy literature. Deleuze and Guattari (2013) and Fredric Jameson (2012) allude to the term “schizophrenia” to characterize the social and psychological consequences of a historical period. The emotional features of this illness can be observed in three different literary works. To write his novel Lenz (1839), G. Büchner sought inspiration in the biography of an 18th century author who suffered from mental disorders; G. de Nerval is inspired by his own life to create Aurelia (1855) from a fantastic perspective (as proposed by Todorov), and R. Goetz sets Loco (1983) in contemporary life, where the individual suffers from alienation and incomprehension every day. The objective of the following work is to analyze the treatment of schizophrenia in the three novels mentioned above. The German authors (Büchner and Goetz) share a scientific perspective; and Goetz and Nerval, the narrative perspective (polyphonic in the first and individual in the second), and the autobiographical narrative, which arises from the data they provide in their works.El término esquizofrenia proviene de la psiquiatría. Según los psiquiatras franceses Lemoine y Cyrulnik (2016), este es un concepto cuestionable. Creado en 1908 por el psiquiatra suizo Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939), este término significa “mente dividida”. En el campo de la literatura, Todorov (2011) recurre a la obra del psiquiatra J. S. Kasanin (quien en 1933 implementó el concepto “trastorno esquizoafectivo”) para plantear las características de los personajes de la literatura fantástica. Deleuze y Guattari (2013) y Fredric Jameson (2012) aluden al término “esquizofrenia” para caracterizar las consecuencias sociales y psicológicas de un período histórico. Los rasgos emocionales de esta enfermedad se pueden observar en tres obras literarias diferentes: para escribir su novela Lenz (1839), G. Büchner se basó en la biografía de un autor del siglo XVIII que padecía trastornos mentales; G. de Nerval se inspira en su propia vida para crear Aurelia (1855), desde una perspectiva fantástica (según lo propuesto por Todorov); y R. Goetz inserta la historia de Loco (1983) en la vida contemporánea, donde el individuo sufre cada día la alienación y la incomprensión. El objetivo del siguiente trabajo será analizar el tratamiento de la esquizofrenia en las tres novelas mencionadas anteriormente. Los autores alemanes (Büchner y Goetz) comparten una mirada científica; y Goetz y Nerval, la perspectiva narrativa (polifónica en el primero e individual en el segundo) y la autobiográfica, que surge de los datos que aportan en sus obras
