A sufficient condition for the convexity of a finite product of positive definite quadratic forms is given in terms of the condition numbers of the underlying matrices. When only...
The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...
We show that a positive definite integral ternary form can be reduced with O(M(s) log2 s) bit operations, where s is the binary encoding length of the form and M(s) is the bit-com...
We introduce a new graph parameter, called the Grothendieck constant of a graph G = (V, E), which is defined as the least constant K such that for every A : E R, sup f:V S|V |-1 ...

A classical problem of stochastic simulation is how to estimate the variance of the sample mean of dependent but stationary outputs. Many variance estimators, such as the batch me...
