Abstract. This paper introduces a robust variant of AdaBoost, cwAdaBoost, that uses weight perturbation to reduce variance error, and is particularly effective when dealing with da...
We classify the minimal blocking sets of size 15 in PG(2, 9). We show that the only examples are the projective triangle and the sporadic example arising from the secants to the u...
In this paper, we consider new results on (k, n)-caps with n > 2. We provide a lower bound on the size of such caps. Furthermore, we generalize two product constructions for (k,...
In the present paper we provide an analytical solution for pricing discrete barrier options in the Black-Scholes framework. We reduce the valuation problem to a Wiener-Hopf equatio...
This paper is concerned with the problem of image analysis based detection of local defects embedded in particleboard surfaces. Though simple, but efficient technique developed is ...
