We present a new technique for constructing and analyzing couplings to bound the convergence rate of finite Markov chains. Our main theorem is a generalization of the path couplin...
In this paper we introduce a simple model based on probabilistic finite state automata to describe an emotional interaction between a robot and a human user, or between simulated a...

This paper deals with the solvability of contact problems with a local visco-plastic friction in the thermo-visco-plastic Bingham rheology. The generalized case of bodies of arbit...
We present a three pass occlusion culling algorithm, which makes efficient use of hardware support. Our geo-scientific sub-surface data sets consist typically of a set of high res...
The utility of optical tomography as a practical imaging modality has, thus far, been limited by its intrinsically low spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy. Recently, we ha...
