Sound or acoustic tomography is a type of inverse problem. The idea of estimating physical quantities that influence sound propagation by measuring the parameters of sound propagation has proven to be successful in several practical domains, including medi ...
We attempt to generate new solutions for the moisture content form of the one-dimensional Richards' [1931] equation using the Lisle [1992] equivalence mapping. This mapping is used as no more general set of transformations exists for mapping the one-dimens ...
In contrast to beta-testing, formal verification can guarantee correctness of a program against a specification. Two basic verification techniques are theorem proving and model checking. Both have strengths and weaknesses. Theorem proving is powerful, but ...
This paper describes the design and semi-automated generation of a MOS current-mode logic standard cell library. A set of generic components implementing a wide range of combinational and sequential functions is proposed. The layout of the generic componen ...
We consider here how to assess if two classifiers, based on a set of test error results, are performing equally well. This question is often considered in the realm of sampling theory, based on classical hypothesis testing. Here we present a simple Bayesia ...
A weak metric on a set is a function that satisfies the axioms of a metric except the symmetry and the separation axioms. The aim of this paper is to present some interesting weak metrics and to study some of their properties. In particular, we introduce a ...
This note gives a high level and informal account of the necessary part of the proof that Ω is the weakest failure detector to implement consensus with a majority of correct processes. The proof originally appeared in a widely cited but rarely understood p ...
Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This is because the topological questions that underly set agreement are not about ...
This paper provides new results on computing simultaneous sparse approximations of multichannel signals over redundant dictionaries using two greedy algorithms. The first one, p-thresholding, selects the S atoms that have the largest p-correlation while ...
We introduce here a new universality conjecture for levels of random Hamiltonians, in the same spirit, as the local REM conjecture made by S. Mertens and H. Bauke. We establish our conjecture for a wide class of Gaussian and non-Gaussian Hamiltonians, whic ...
