Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be connected orientable surfaces of genus [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] punctures, and empty boundary. Let also [Formula: see text] be an edge-preserving alternating map between their Hatcher–Thurston graphs. We prove that [Formula: see text] and that there is also a multicurve of cardinality [Formula: see text] contained in every element of the image. We also prove that if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then the map [Formula: see text] obtained by filling the punctures of [Formula: see text], is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text].

Let [Formula: see text] be a compact, connected, orientable surface of genus [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] boundary components with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the nonseparating curve graph, [Formula: see text] be the curve graph and [Formula: see text] be the Hatcher–Thurston graph of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is an edge-preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is an edge-preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We prove that if [Formula: see text] is closed and [Formula: see text] is a rectangle preserving map, then [Formula: see text] is induced by a homeomorphism of [Formula: see text]. We also prove that these homeomorphisms are unique up to isotopy when [Formula: see text].

We analyze model-theoretic connected components in extensions of a given group by abelian groups which are defined by means of 2-cocycles with finite image. We characterize, in terms of these 2-cocycles, when the smallest type-definable subgroup of the corresponding extension differs from the smallest invariant subgroup. In some situations, we also describe the quotient of these two connected components. Using our general results about extensions of groups together with Matsumoto–Moore theory or various quasi-characters considered in bounded cohomology, we obtain new classes of examples of groups whose smallest type-definable subgroup of bounded index differs from the smallest invariant subgroup of bounded index. This includes the first known example of a group with this property found by Conversano and Pillay, namely the universal cover of [Formula: see text] (interpreted in a monster model), as well as various examples of different nature, e.g. some central extensions of free groups or of fundamental groups of closed orientable surfaces. As a corollary, we get that both non-abelian free groups and fundamental groups of closed orientable surfaces of genus [Formula: see text], expanded by predicates for all subsets, have this property, too. We also obtain a variant of the example of Conversano and Pillay for [Formula: see text] instead of [Formula: see text], which (as most of our examples) was not accessible by the previously known methods.

Margalit and Schleimer observed that Dehn twists on orientable surfaces have nontrivial roots. We investigate the problem of roots of a Dehn twist [Formula: see text] about a nonseparating circle [Formula: see text] in the mapping class group [Formula: see text] of a nonorientable surface [Formula: see text] of genus [Formula: see text]. We explore the existence of roots and, following the work of McCullough, Rajeevsarathy and Monden, give a simple arithmetic description of their conjugacy classes. We also study roots of maximal degree and prove that if we fix an odd integer [Formula: see text], then for each sufficiently large [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] has a root of degree [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. Moreover, for any possible degree [Formula: see text], we provide explicit expressions for a particular type of roots of Dehn twists about nonseparating circles in [Formula: see text].

Dual-energy imaging has emerged as a superior way to recognize materials in X-ray computed tomography. To estimate material properties such as effective atomic number and density, one often generates images in terms of basis functions. This requires decomposition of the dual-energy sinograms into basis sinograms, and subsequently reconstructing the basis images. However, the presence of metal can distort the reconstructed images. In this paper we investigate how photoelectric and Compton basis functions, and synthesized monochromatic basis (SMB) functions behave in the presence of metal and its effect on estimation of effective atomic number and density. Our results indicate that SMB functions, along with edge-preserving total variation regularization, show promise for improved material estimation in the presence of metal. The results are demonstrated using both simulated data as well as data collected from a dualenergy medical CT scanner.

Abstract In this paper the use of a set of nonlinear edge-preserving filters is proposed as a pre-processing stage with the purpose to improve the quality of hyperspectral images before object detection. The capability of each nonlinear filter to improve images, corrupted by spatially and spectrally correlated Gaussian noise, is evaluated in terms of the average Improvement factor in the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (IPSNR), estimated at the filter output. The simulation results demonstrate that this pre-processing procedure is efficient only in case the spatial and spectral correlation coefficients of noise do not exceed the value of 0.6
