A model for learning global properties
(Elsevier, 1981)
This paper reports developments in a mathematical model of cognitive learning. The model describes the processes of formation, testing, and revision of hypotheses held by a learner attempting to understand an environment. ...
Depth from relative normal flows
(Elsevier, 1990)
Most of the depth from image flow algorithms has to rely on either good initial guesses, or some assumptions about the object surfaces to achieve solutions that agree with the physical world. Waxman and Sinha point out ...
On the time complexity for circumscribing a convex polygon
(Elsevier, 1985-06)
A recent article "Circumscribing a Convex Polygon by a Polygon of Fewer Sides with Minimal Area Addition" by Dori and Ben-Bassat, Comput. Vision Graph. Image Process. 24, 1983, 131-159, raised several interesting questions ...
Optimal design of piezoelectric microstructures
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-04)
Application of piezoelectric materials requires an improvement in their performance characteristics which can be obtained by designing new topologies of microstructures (or unit cells) for these materials. The topology of ...
A comprehensive error compensation system for correcting geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag London Limited, 1997-10)
A comprehensive error compensation system has been developed to correct geometric, thermal, and cutting force-induced errors on a turning centre. The basic approach to error compensation is proposed in this paper. The ...
An algorithm for determining identity of nearest-neighbor and potential function decision rules
(Elsevier, 1980)
The nearest-neighbor and potential function decision rules are nonparametric techniques that partition the feature space based on a set of labelled sample points. Determining whether the partitions of the two rules are ...
PC program for assessing the relationship between rate of change and initial value
(Elsevier, 1994-11)
A menu-driven PC program implementing Blomqvist's [J. Am. Stat. Assn. 72, 746-749, 1977] method for assessing the relationship between rate of change and initial value is described, illustrated and made available. It is ...
A practical method for limit torsion problems
(Elsevier, 1979-06)
The sand hill analogy should have closed the chapter of the limit plastic torsion problem except that there exists no convenient method to evaluate the volume of a general sand hill which gives the limiting torque. ...
A topological characterization of the stable and minimal model classes of propositional logic programs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; J.C. Baltzer AG, Scientific Publishing Company ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-09)
In terms of the arithmetic hierarchy, the complexity of the set of minimal models and of the set of stable models of a propositional general logic program has previously been described. However, not every set of interpretations ...
