This paper proposes a novel method of estimating 3-D hand posture from images observed in complex backgrounds. Conventional methods often cause mistakes by mis-matches of local ima...
We initiate a complexity-theoretic treatment of hardness amplification for collision-resistant hash functions, namely the transformation of weakly collision-resistant hash functio...

This paper is motivated by the open question whether the union of two disjoint NPcomplete sets always is NP-complete. We discover that such unions retain much of the complexity of...
High reynolds number ow simulations exhibit strong gradients normal to walls and across shear layers requiring much ner resolution of the solution in some directions compared to o...
The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...
