Skew detection is an important stage of document image processing. It is desirable t o have a fast, all-purpose skew detector. This paper describes a fast skew detector using directional profile analysis. It can quickly and accurately detect skew on a wide variety of document images, including images with multiple text alignments and nontext regions. The complexity of the skew detection process...

Abstract. A skew edge coloring of a graph G is defined to be a set of two edge colorings such that no two edges are assigned the same unordered pair of colors. The skew chromatic index s(G) is the minimum number of colors required for a skew edge coloring of G. In this paper, an algorithm is determined for skew edge coloring of circular ladder graphs. Alsothe skew chromatic index of circular la...

Circular bacterial chromosomes have highly polarized nucleotide composition in the two replichores, and this genomic strand asymmetry can be visualized using GC skew graphs. Here we propose and discuss the GC skew index (GCSI) for the quantification of genomic compositional skew, which combines a normalized measure of fast Fourier transform to capture the shape of the skew graph and Euclidean d...

Process-variation induced skew has become one of the major contributors to the clock-skew in advanced technologies. Since process-variation induced skew is roughly proportional to clock-delay, it is preferable to design zero-skew clock-trees and have minimum clock-delay to reduce both unintentional and process-variation induced skews. In this paper, we propose a zero-skew buffered clock-tree sy...

Let $G*H$ be the product $*$ of $G$ and $H$. In this paper we determine the rth power of the graph $G*H$ in terms of $G^r, H^r$ and $G^r*H^r$, when $*$ is the join, Cartesian, symmetric difference, disjunctive, composition, skew and corona product. Then we solve the equation $(G*H)^r=G^r*H^r$. We also compute the Wiener index and Wiener polarity index of the skew product.

In this paper, we discuss a new generalization of univariate skew-Cauchy distribution with two parameters, we denoted this by GSC(&lambda1, &lambda2), that it has more flexible than the skew-Cauchy distribution (denoted by SC(&lambda)), introduced by Behboodian et al. (2006). Furthermore, we establish some useful properties of this distribution and by two numerical example, show that GSC(&lambd...

Recent work on parallel joins and data skew has concentrated on algorithm design without considering the causes and chara.cteristics of data. skew itself. Existming ana.lyt,ic models of skew do not cont.ain enough informat,ion to fully describe data skew in parallel implementations. Because the assumptions made about the nature of skew vary between authors, it is almost impossible to make valid...

We first give the style spectral decomposition of a special skew circulant matrix C and then get the style decomposition of arbitrary skew circulant matrix by making use of the Kronecker products between the elements of first row in skew circulant and the special skew circulant C. Besides that, we obtain the singular value of skew circulant matrix as well. Finally, we deal with the optimal back...

We introduce a new operation on skew diagrams called composition of transpositions, and use it and a Jacobi-Trudi style formula to derive equalities on skew Schur Q-functions whose indexing shifted skew diagram is an ordinary skew diagram. When this skew diagram is a ribbon, we conjecture necessary and sufficient conditions for equality of ribbon Schur Q-functions. Moreover, we determine all re...
