By coherently combining advantages while largely avoiding limitations of two mainstream platforms, optical hybrid entanglement involving both discrete and continuous variables has recently garnered widespread attention emerged as a promising idea for building heterogenous quantum networks. In contrast to previous results, here we propose new scheme remotely generate between polarization quadrat...

This work presents a method for optimum design of structures, where the design variables can he considered as Continuous or discrete. The variables are chosen as sizing variables as well as coordinates of joints. The main idea is to reduce the number of structural analyses and the overal cost of optimization. In each design cycle, first the structural response quantities such as forces, displac...

An extension of the expert system shell HUGIN to include continuous variables, in the form of linear additive normally distributed variables, is presented. The theoretical foundation of the method was developed by Lauritzen (1992), whereas this report primarily focus on implementation aspects. The approach has several advantages over purely discrete systems: It enables a more natural model of t...
