Fully symmetric interpolatory integration rules are constructed for multidimensional integrals over infinite integration regions with a Gaussian weight function. The points for these rules are determined by successive extensions of the one dimensional three point GaussHermite rule. The new rules are shown to be efficient and only moderately unstable.

designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing fuzzy learning classifier (flc) systems. conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. in thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of information retrieval (ir)systems is adapted as alternative...

To reduce the semantic gap in the content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems we propose a fuzzy rule base approach. By submitting a query to the proposed system, it first extracts its low-level features and then checks its rule base for determining the proper weight vector for its distance measure. It then uses this weight vector to determine what images are more similar to the query image. F...

Recent advances in neuroscience have engendered interest in large-scale brain networks. Using a consistent database of cortico-cortical connectivity, generated from hemisphere-wide, retrograde tracing experiments in the macaque, we analyzed interareal weights and distances to reveal an important organizational principle of brain connectivity. Using appropriate graph theoretical measures, we sho...

Editor: In a previous work (Esposito, Rampone, & Tagliaferri, 1994), a neural net model which can be used to decode codewords belonging to a binary linear code and to correct noisy patterns which it receives from a transmission channel has been described. The net reduces the error probability to zero in the range of the error correcting capacity of the code, e, when applied to codewords whose m...

The isospin-breaking vector meson decay constants are determined from a QCD sum rule analysis of the vector current correlator 〈O|T ( V 3 μ V 8 ν ) |O〉, using a recently proposed implementation of the finite energy sum rule approach. The analysis employs the three-loop version of the OPE, and two different families of weight functions. It is shown that the requirement of consistency between res...

Inequalities are obtained for weighted integrals in terms of bounds involving the first derivative of the function. Quadrature rules are obtained and the classical Iyengar inequality for the trapezoidal rule is recaptured as a special case when the weight function w (x) ≡ 1. Applications to numerical integration are demonstrated.

Fully symmetric interpolatory integration rules are constructed for multidimensional inte-grals over innnite integration regions with a Gaussian weight function. The points for these rules are determined by successive extensions of the one dimensional three point Gauss-Hermite rule. The new rules are shown to be eecient and only moderately unstable.

We analyze a three-player legislative bargaining game over an ideological and a distributive decision. Legislators are privately informed about their ideological intensities, i.e., the weight placed on the ideological decision relative to the weight placed on the distributive decision. Communication takes place before a proposal is offered and majority rule voting determines the outcome. We sho...

The extended answer set semantics for simple logic programs, i.e. programs with only classical negation, allows for the defeat of rules to resolve contradictions. In addition, a partial order relation on the program’s rules can be used to deduce a preference relation on its extended answer sets. In this paper, we propose a “quantitative” preference relation that associates a weight with each ru...
