Parallel programming is elusive. The relative performance of di erent parallel implementations varies with machine architecture, system and problem size. How to compare di erent i...
In image retrieval, global features related to color or texture are commonly used to describe the image. The use of interest points in contentbased image retrieval allows image ind...
In this paper, we study the performances of the NEW Unconstrained Optimization Algorithm (NEWUOA) with different numbers of interpolation points. NEWUOA is a trust region method, ...
We study a tailored finite point method (TFPM) for solving the convection-diffusion-reaction equation. The solution basis functions for the TFPM are constructed for a 5 point, 7 p...
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. For two arbitrary points of G, we can compare the length of the shortest path in G connecting them against their Euclid...
