We consider the pair (pi, fi) as a force with two-dimensional direction vector fi applied at the point pi in the plane. For a given set of forces we ask for a non-crossing geometri...
In a team competition, two participating teams have an equal number of players, and each team orders its players linearly based on their strengths. A mechanism then specifies how...
Despite the widespread use of BM25, there have been few studies examining its effectiveness on a document description over single and multiple field combinations. We determine t...
It has been known since [Zyablov and Pinsker 1982] that a random q-ary code of rate 1 − Hq(ρ) − ε (where 0 < ρ < 1 − 1/q, ε > 0 and Hq(·) is the q-ary entropy ...
Abstract. Solutions to non-linear least squares problems play an essential role in structure and motion problems in computer vision. The predominant approach for solving these prob...
