karaki, an outstanding faqih in 10th century (ah), was the first to cooperate with the safavids, hence founding the basis for the convergence of the ulama and the state in the safavid era. his theoretical contribution lies on the proposal of the theory of the sovereignty of faqih. with karaki being scientifically and politically famous, his theory soon became wide-spread in this period and was ...

We present an estimation-theoretic approach to curve evolution for the Mumford-Shah problem. By viewing an active contour as the set of discontinuities in the Mumford-Shah problem, we may use the corresponding functional to determine gradient descent evolution equations to deform the active contour. In each gradient descent step, we solve a corresponding optimal estimation problem, connecting t...

The aim of this paper is to provide a formal link between an oscillatory neural model, whose phase is represented by a difference equation, and the Mumford and Shah functional. A Riemannian metric is induced by the pattern of neural connections, and in this setting the difference equation is studied. Its Euler–Lagrange operator Γ-converges as the dimension of the grid tends to 0 to the Mumford ...

In a recent paper, Soni and Shah [Soni, H., Shah, N. H., 2008. Optimal ordering policy for stock-dependent demand under progressive payment scheme. European Journal of Operational Research 184, 91-100] developed a model to find the optimal ordering policy for a retailer with stock-dependent demand and a supplier that offers a progressive payment scheme to the retailer. This note corrects some e...
