Let Q(N) denote the number of partitions of N into distinct parts. If ω(k) := 3k2 +k 2 , then it is well known that Q(N) + ∞X k=1 (−1)k “ Q(N − 2ω(k)) + Q(N − 2ω(−k)...
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
Partitioning a video sequence into shots is the first step toward video-content analysis and content-based video browsing and retrieval. A video shot is defined as a series of inte...
