Algebraic graph statics

This paper presents a general, non-procedural, algebraic approach to graphical analysis of structures. Using graph theoretical properties of reciprocal graphs, the geometrical relation between the form and force diagrams used in graphic statics is written algebraically. These formulations have been found to be equivalent to the equilibrium equations used in matrix analysis of planar, self-stres...

Closure Phase Statics Correction

The closure phase principle was used in estimating static shifts in seismic data. In areas with complex topography, the static shifts usually caused by lateral variations in sediment thickness and/or velocity of the near-surface layers will distort the continuity of seismic events. More seriously, it introduces false structural anomalies. In this report, we develop a new statics correction meth...

Robust Comparative Statics

Neural statics and dynamics

A formal theory of systems was proposed previously as providing a quantitative basis for neural computation. This theory dictated the architectural aspects of a pyramidal-neuron system model including its operation, adaptation, and most importantly, its computational objective. The principal result was a perceptron architecture that, through adaptation, learns to ask a specific space–time quest...
