Novel theory and potential applications of central diastolic pressure decay time constant

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos

Central aortic diastolic pressure decay time constant ( ) is according to the two-element Windkessel model equal to the product of total peripheral resistance (R) times total arterial compliance (C ). As such, it is related to arterial stiffness, which has ...

Stability of the Faber-Krahn inequality for the short-time Fourier transform

Joao Pedro Gonçalves Ramos

We prove a sharp quantitative version of the Faber–Krahn inequality for the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). To do so, we consider a deficit which measures by how much the STFT of a function fails to be optimally concentrated on an arbitrary set of pos ...
