We consider the problem of globally minimizing the sum of many rational functions over a given compact semialgebraic set. The number of terms can be large (10 to 100), the degree ...
This paper presents a computational model that segments images based on the textural properties of object surfaces. The proposed Coupled-Membrane model applies the weak membrane ap...
Extracting human postural information from video sequences has proved a difficult research question. The most successful approaches to date have been based on particle filtering, ...
Filinski showed that callcc and a single mutable reference cell are sufficient to express the delimited control operators shift and reset. However, this implementation interacts p...
Some improved bounds on the number of directions not determined by a point set in the affine space AG(k, q) are presented. More precisely, if there are more than pe (q -1) directio...
