Nonlinear regression and nonlinear regularization are two powerful approaches to segmentation and nonlinear filtering. In this correspondence, we propose a hybrid approach that effectively combines the best of both worlds and can be efficiently implemented via the Viterbi algorithm.
Scale-space filtering (Witkin 83) is a recently developed technique, both powerful and general, for segmentation and analysis of signals. Asada and Brady (84) have amply demonstrated the value of scale-space for description of curved contours from digitised images . Weak continui
Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful solving paradigm that is based on inference and search control algorithms and suitable for arbitrary/various NP-hard combinatorial problems beyond linearity. The flexibility of constraints – the working machines of a CP solver – allow a w
We first introduce 20 weak forms of continuity, which are closely related to 5 known weak forms of continuity. Then we classify them into 9 groups and give 12 decompositions of continuity. 1. Introduction. Continuity is one of the most important concepts in mathematics. In order
We describe a generalization of equivalence between constraint sets, called weak equivalence. This new equivalence relation takes into account that not all variables have the same function in a constraint set and therefore distinguishes between restriction variables and intermedi
We consider the gravitational correction to the coupling of the scalar fields. Weak gravity conjecture says that the gravitational correction to the running of scalar coupling should be less than the contribution from scalar fields. For instance, a new scale Λ = λ 1/2 4 Mp sets a
We prove a basic property of continuous multilinear mappings between topological vector spaces, from which we derive an easy proof of the fact that a multilinear mapping (and a polynomial) between topological vector spaces is weakly continuous on weakly bounded sets if and only i
