A Chronology of Interpolation: From Ancient Astronomy to Modern Signal and Image Processing

This paper presents a chronological overview of the developments in interpolation theory, from the earliest times to the present date. It brings out the connections between the results obtained in different ages, thereby putting the techniques currently us ...

SWARM Robotics: A Different Approach to Service Robotics

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, Mirco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella

Service robotics, as it has been intended so far, views the accomplishment of a service mission mainly as the result of the action of a single robot. Swarm robotics tackles the very same problem from a different stance, \ie as the result of a team effort ...

PCA in Autocorrelation Space

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Vlad Popovici

The use of higher order autocorrelations as features for pattern classification has been usually restricted to second or third orders due to high computational costs. Since the autocorrelation space is a high dimensional space we are interested in reducing ...

Supercapacitive Storage - Better consumption of electrical energy

Supercapacitors represent one of the newest innovations in the field of electrical energy storage. In comparison with classical capacitors, these new components allow a higher energy density, together with a high power density. Even if the energy density i ...

Smoothing Spline Distribution Function Estimation: Theory

Eva Maria Restle

The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...

Models of continuum with microcrack distribution

Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo

The present work compares the micromechanical approach and the continuum approach for modeling microcracked continuum. The first approach considers a distribution of microscopic cells including contacting lips (discontinuity of matter), and the second appr ...

Displacement Structure and H ∞ Problems

Ali H. Sayed

The solution of H∞ problems requires the determination of contractive operators that map certain input signals to certain output signals. Such operators, and tests for their contractiveness, arise naturally in a scattering formulation of the generalized Sc ...

A Note on the Fairness of TCP Vegas

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Catherine Boutremans

We study the fairness of TCP Vegas. The latter is an alternative to the commonly used TCP Reno, and uses measures of the round trip time as feedback on congestion. We consider two cases that depend on the value of the two parameters alpha and beta controll ...

Vibrational amplitudes in vitreous silica

Alfredo Pasquarello

A model structure of vitreous silica, for which the vibrational frequencies and eigenmodes were calculated from first principles, is used to investigate vibrational amplitudes. Calculated mean-square displacements for oxygen and silicon atoms are obtained ...
