Rate transition systems (RTS) are a special kind of transition systems introduced for defining the stochastic behavior of processes and for associating continuous-time Markov chain...
The Markov chain approximation method is an effective and widely used approach for computing optimal values and controls for stochastic systems. It was extended to nonlinear (and p...
A computational approach is introduced for the study of the rheological properties of complex fluids and soft materials. The approach allows for a consistent treatment of microstr...
Deterministic optimization approaches have been well developed and widely used in the process industry to accomplish off-line and on-line process optimization. The challenging tas...
A method that combines shape-based object recognition and image segmentation is proposed for shape retrieval from images. Given a shape prior represented in a multiscale curvature...
