We compare the linear rate of convergence estimates for two inexact proximal point methods. The first one is the classical inexact scheme introduced by Rockafellar, for which we obtain a slightly better estimate than the one given in [16]. The second one is the hybrid inexact proximal point approach introduced in [25, 22]. The advantage of the hybrid methods is that they use more constructive a...

in this paper, by means of fuzzy approaches, an accurate method is introduced for edging of color photographs. the difference between our method with other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to think or thick the obtained edges. in this proposed method, a 3×3 window is dragged on the photo. for each block, 12 point sets will be defined, each including two non-overlapping po...

Numerical modeling of the entire process tsunamis generation by granular landslides is very difficult and challenging as it involves soil–water interaction, large deformation soil, fluidization sedimentation sand. In this study, a computational model based on two-layer two-phase material point method (MPM) developed to simulate granular-landslide-generated tsunamis, wherein sand are well modele...

The probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration that is physically possible over a given size storm area at a particular geographical location at a certain time of the year. In this study a physically based method was compared with a statistical procedure to calculate PMP in the southwest arid regions of Iran. In order to estimate PMP using a...

Change point estimation is as an effective method for identifying the time of a change in production and service processes. In most of the statistical quality control literature, it is usually assumed that the quality characteristic of interest is independently and identically distributed over time. It is obvious that this assumption could be easily violated in practice. In this paper, we use m...

background: amiodarone is a drug that is used for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia after cardiac ischemia. this drug as b blocker decreases arrhythmia rate but it has many side effects on different tissues. since there are rare reports about changes of lacrimal glands, this research has been carried out to study the morphological and ultrastructural changes of lacrimal gland cells after amiodaro...

The present paper gives a classification of the expressive power of two-variable least fixed-point logics. The main results are: 1. The two-variable fragment of monadic least fixed-point logic with parameters is as expressive as full monadic least fixed-point logic (on binary structures). 2. The two-variable fragment of monadic least fixed-point logic without parameters is as expressive as the ...

Some quality characteristics are well defined when treated as response variables and are related to some independent variables. This relationship is called a profile. Parametric models, such as linear models, may be used to model profiles. However, in practical applications due to the complexity of many processes it is not usually possible to model a process using parametric models.In these cas...

We introduce a novel Bayesian inexact point pattern matching model that assumes that a linear transformation relates the two sets of points. The matching problem is inexact due to the lack of one-to-one correspondence between the point sets and the presence of noise. The algorithm is itself inexact; we use variational Bayesian approximation to estimate the posterior distributions in the face of...
