We present a new class of continuously defined parametric snakes using a special kind of exponential splines as basis functions. We have enforced our bases to have the shortest possible support subject to some design constraints to maximize efficiency. Whi ...
This work is concerned with numerical methods for matrix eigenvalue problems that are nonlinear in the eigenvalue parameter. In particular, we focus on eigenvalue problems for which the evaluation of the matrix-valued function is computationally expensive. ...
The polynomial Hirsch conjecture states that the vertex-edge diameter of a d-dimensional polyhedron with n facets is bounded by a polynomial in d and n. For the special case where the polyhedron is defined as the set of points satisfying a system Ax ≤ b of ...
One of the most popular techniques to take into account the finite ground conductivity in the evaluation of the radial component of the electric field generated by a lightning return stroke is the Cooray-Rubinstein (CR) formula. As this formula is derived ...
The paper presents a programmable triangular neighborhood function for application in low power transistor level implemented Kohonen self-organized maps (SOMs). Detailed simulations carried out for the software model of such network show that the triangula ...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unconnected facility location problem, randomly sample the clients, and open the ...
