We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions in the Large Deviation Principle for random upper semicontinuous functions on a separable Banach space. The main tool is the recent work of Arcones on the LDP for empirical processes.

Semi-hardwood cuttings of ‘Frantoio’(high rooting ability) and ‘Gentile di Larino’(low rooting ability) cultivars were obtained from one-year-old olive shoots sampled in mid-August. Semi-hardwood cuttings w e re dipped in H2O2 (0% control and 3.5% w/v) and IBA (2000 and 4000 ppm) solutions before rooting in greenhouse equipped with an automatic mist system. After 35 days, 50% of semi-hardwood c...

This work presents a detailed analysis and discussion of a new object tracking method using semi-supervised on-line boosting1. In order to avoid the drifting problem, which presents a challenge to adaptive tracking systems, the new approach incorporates prior knowledge of the tracked object into the tracking process via semi-supervised learning. This method makes it possible to distinguish betw...

In this paper, we prove various results concerning DGA-algebras in the context of the Homological Perturbation Theory. We distinguish two class of contractions for algebras: full algebra contractions and semi-full algebra contractions. A full algebra contraction is, in particular , a semi-full algebra contraction. Taking a full algebra contraction and an \algebra perturbation" as data of the Ba...

We present new nearest neighbor methods for text classification and an evaluation of these methods against the existing nearest neighbor methods as well as other well-known text classification algorithms. Inspired by the language modeling approach to information retrieval, we show improvements in k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classification by replacing the classical cosine similarity with a KL dive...

The detection of slow nucleons in semi-inclusive electron scattering processes off the deuteron, 2H(e, eN)X, is a very promising tool for the extraction of model-independent information on the neutron structure function Fn 2 (x,Q 2). The key point is the occurrence of a peculiar scaling property of the semi-inclusive cross section, which holds in the deep-inelastic regime as well as in the nucl...

We present in this paper the advantages of using the model of Euclidean paths for the geometrical analysis of a discrete curve. The Euclidean paths are a semi-continuous representation of a discrete path providing a good approximation of the underlying real curve. We describe the use of this model to obtain accurate estimations of lenght, tangent orientation and curvature.

We show that a theorem of Shchepin and Repovš concerning the smoothness of compacta follows from the theory of semicontinuous relations.

We consider the upper semicontinuity of the global random attractors for the stochastic three-component reversible Gray–Scott system on unbounded domains when the intensity of the noise converges to zero. 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
