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...
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...
