We formulate a stability notion for two?sided pairwise matching problems with individually insignificant agents in distributional form. Matchings are formulated as joint distributions over the characteristics of populations to be matched. Spaces can high?dimensional and need not compact. Stable matchings exist without transfers, stable correspond precisely limits finite?agent models. embed exis...

Traditional iris recognition method has low speed and searching rate in large-scale unstructured database. Three different quantum algorithms are proposed in iris recognition. Quantum filtering algorithm can get a better filtering result than classical algorithm in iris filtering process. Quantum Fourier transforms exhibits an exponential speed-up compared with discrete Fourier transform in fea...

The coarse-to-fine search strategy is extensively used in current reported research. However, it has the same problems as any hill climbing algorithm, most importantly, it often finds local instead of global minima. Drawing upon the artificial intelligence literature, we applied an optimal graph search, namely A*, to the problem. Using real stereo and video test sets, we compared the A* method ...

Most of the existing fingerprint retrieval systems are based on the overall characteristics and detailed features of fingerprints, and their performance is poor in the cases of low-quality fingerprint images, such as incomplete fingerprint images. In order to improve the recognition speed, accuracy, and robustness of automated fingerprint recognition systems based on large-scale fingerprint dat...

RÉSUMÉ. Le matching, est une opération importante pour les processus assurant l’interopérabilité de systèmes d’information notamment pour des applications telles que l'échange, l'intégration et la transformation de données. Toutefois, la problématique du matching se pose avec acuité lorsque le nombre et le volume des schémas de données est important. C’est notamment le cas pour les applications...

from ancient times, governments have laid emphasis – albeit with varying degrees – on large-scale plans and their impact on society and have thus resorted to them. the iranian government is of course no exception; both before and after the 1979 revolution, the different administrations of the country maintained that employing large-scale plans was fruitful and applied them accordingly. although...

Many real-world problems modeled by stochastic games have huge state and/or action spaces, leading to the well-known curse of dimensionality. The complexity of the analysis of large-scale systems is dramatically reduced by exploiting mean field limit and dynamical system viewpoints. Under regularity assumptions and specific time-scaling techniques, the evolution of the mean field limit can be e...
