We de…ne combinatorial principles which unify and extend the classical results of Steinhaus and Piccard on the existence of interior points in the distance set. Thus the measure and category versions are derived from one topological theorem on interior points applied to the usual topology and the density topology on the line. Likewise we unify the subgroup theorem by reference to a Ramsey prope...

We propose a new similarity measure for iconic medical image registration, an Edgeworth-based third order approximation of Mutual Information (MI) and named 3-EMI. Contrary to classical Edgeworth-based MI approximations, such as those proposed for independent component analysis, the 3-EMI measure is able to deal with potentially correlated variables. The performance of 3-EMI is then evaluated a...

We investigate strictly positive finitely additive measures on Boolean algebras and strictly positive Radon measures on compact zerodimensional spaces. The motivation is to find a combinatorial characterisation of Boolean algebras which carry a strictly positive finitely additive finite measure with some additional properties, such as separability or nonatomicity. A possible consistent characte...

We present a short survey of some very recent results on the finitely additive white noise theory. We discuss the Markov property of the solution of a stochastic differential equation driven directly by a white noise, study the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the measure induced by nonlinear transformation on a Hilbert space with respect to the canonical Gauss measure thereon and obtain a represent...

We extend the concept of fuzzy integral based on ⊕-decomposable measure from nonnegative fuzzy measurable function to extended real-valued fuzzy measurable function. Further investigations of fuzzy integrals based on pseudo-additive decomposable measure are carried out. Meanwhile, the space (S(μ),σ(·,·)) of all fuzzy measurable function will be proved to be a pseudo-metric space. Finally, as an...

We consider some classes of stationary, counting{measure{valued Markov processes and their companions under time{reversal. Examples arise in the L evy{It^ o decomposition of stable Ornstein{Uhlenbeck processes, the large{time asymptotics of the standard additive coalescent, and extreme value theory. These processes share the common feature that points in the support of the evolving counting{ me...

In this paper, we propose a new acoustic confidence measure of ASR hypothesis and compare it to approaches proposed in the literature. This approach takes into account prior information on the acoustic model performance specific to each phoneme. The new method is tested on two types of recognition errors: the out-of-vocabulary words and the errors due to additive noise. We then propose an effic...

In this paper performance limits of optical OFDM transmission systems are investigated. The maximum achievable spectral efficiency is limited by additive noise of optical amplifiers and non-linear fiber effects. In order to assess this measure, a “weakly nonlinear” system model is used. For a given transmission scenario, there is a minimum power of signal distortion at a specific optical launch...

We present a general decomposition theorem for a positive inner regular finitely additive measure on an orthoalgebra L with values in an ordered topological group G, not necessarily commutative. In the case where L is a Boolean algebra, we establish the uniqueness of such a decomposition. With mild extra hypotheses on G, we extend this Boolean decomposition, preserving the uniqueness, to the ca...

The infinite Darcy-Prandtl number model is an effective reduced model for describing convection in a fluid-saturated porous medium. It is well known that the deterministic model does not possess a unique invariant measure. In this work we study the dynamics of the infinite Darcy-Prandtl number model, under an additive stochastic forcing of its low modes. This is the so-called stochastic infinit...
