We review and compare different computational variational methods applied to a system of fourth order equations that arises as a model of cylinder buckling. We describe both the di...
In this paper, a general method for the numerical solution of maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) problems is presented; it adopts the deterministic learning (DL) approach to find ...
Relief mapping using the secant method offers an efficient method for adding per pixel height field based displacement to an arbitrary polygonal mesh in real time. The technique...
1 In evolutionary algorithms a critical parameter that must be tuned is that of selection pressure. If it is set too low then the rate of convergence towards the optimum is likely...
Image synthesis often requires the Monte Carlo estimation of integrals. Based on a generalized concept of stratification we present an efficient sampling scheme that consistently ...
