We obtain direct, finite, descriptions of a renormalized quantum mechanical system with no reference to ultraviolet cutoffs and running coupling constants, in both the Hamiltonian and path integral pictures. The path integral description requires a modification to the Wiener measure on continuous paths that describes an unusual diffusion process wherein colliding particles occasionally stick to...

The accurate detection of the direct path in a dense multipath environment is critical in time-based and angle-of-arrival-based location estimation techniques. It is generally assumed that an infinitely large bandwidth is helpful in the accurate detection of the direct path and high-range resolution. It is experimentally demonstrated that, for a wideband system, a bandwidth of up to 4 GHz, cent...

In this work we consider extensions of a conjecture due to Alspach, Mason, and Pullman from 1976. This concerns edge decompositions tournaments into as few paths possible. There is natural lower bound for the number needed in an decomposition directed graph terms its degree sequence; question states that correct even order. The was recently resolved large tournaments, here investigate what exte...

The decomposition of the overall effect a treatment into direct and indirect effects is here investigated with reference to recursive system binary random variables. We show how, for single mediator context, marginal measured on log odds scale can be written as sum plus residual term that vanishes under some specific conditions. then extend our definitions situations involving multiple mediator...

We propose a model for path-planning based on single performance metric that accurately accounts the potential (spatially inhomogeneous) cost of breakdowns and repairs. These random happen at known (also spatially rate can be one two types: total, which halt all movement until an in-place repair is completed, or partial, after continues in damaged state. use framework piecewise-deterministic Ma...

We define a number of original encodings that map MaxCSP instances into partial Max-SAT instances. Our encodings rely on the well-known direct and support encodings from CSP into SAT. Then, we report on an experimental investigation that was conducted to compare the performance profile of our encodings on random binary Max-CSP instances. Moreover, we define a new variant of the support encoding...

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...
