In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
For a surface patch on a smooth, two-dimensional surface in IR3 , low-distortion parameterizations are described in terms of minimizers of suitable energy functionals. Appropriate...
We consider the El Farol bar problem, also known as the minority game W. B. Arthur, The American Economic Review, 842: 406 411 1994, D. Challet and Y.C. Zhang, Physica A, 256:514 ...
In recent years second-order sufficient conditions of an isolated local minimizer for convex composite optimization problems have been established. In this paper, second-order opt...
Dynamic textures (DT) are videos of non-rigid dynamical objects, such as fire and waves, which constantly change their shape and appearance over time. Most of the prior work on DT ...
