We have proposed a three-parameter renewal approximation to analyze splitting and superposition of autocorrelated processes. We define the index of dispersion for counts of an ord...
For time-dependent scalar fields, one is often interested in topology changes of contours in time. In this paper, we focus on describing how contours split and merge over a certa...
We provide an approach to distribute the calculation of PageRank, by splitting the graph into its strongly connected components. As we prove, the global ranking may be calculated c...
Abstract { This paper presents a parallel algorithm for solving the region growing problem based on the split and merge approach. The algorithm was implemented on the CM-2 and the ...
