Described are the relevant mission scenarios of long traverse and instrument placement, and the enabling algorithmic components that are being captured...

A first set of “Corrections and updates” has appeared in the 2003 printing of my book [Harpe–00], as well as in the 2003 list of Geneva’s preprints [Harpe–03]. A second set has appeared in the 2004 list of Geneva’s preprints [Harpe–04]. Here is a third set. We wish to single out a first item in Section 1 below on growth (related to VI.19 in [Harpe–00]) and a second item in Section 2 on fundamen...

SynthesizedTextures represent continuous-tone images with a small set of vectors and color profiles. This representation is not only efficient in terms of compression ratio but also serve as the basis of photorealistic animations in AFX. Unlike standard synthetic texture techniques, the SynthesizedTexture imaging starts with analysis of photorealistic images or video sequences and conversion to...

Inspired by factorized scattering from delta–type impurities in (1+1)-dimensional space-time, we propose and analyse a generalization of the Zamolodchikov–Faddeev algebra. Distinguished elements of the new algebra, called reflection and transmission generators, encode the particle–impurity interactions. We describe in detail the underlying algebraic structure. The relative Fock representations ...

In this paper we have studied adaptive equalization in the GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) environment using radial basis function (RBF) networks. Equalization is here considered as a classification problem, where the idea is to map the received complex-valued signal into desired binary values using RBF network equalizer. Results prove that the RBF network provides very good bit e...

The purpose of this master's thesis was to explore the circuit design space (speed, area, power) of conventional binary arithmetic and to suggest improvements or alternatives to this arithmetic. The alternatives to the binary arithmetic focused on was the Signed-Digit (SD) number system, the Residue Number System (RNS) and the combination of these two systems (RNS+SD). The work resulted in new ...
