This paper shows that the naturally induced discrete differentiation operators induced from a wavelet-Galerkin finite-dimensional approximation to a standard function space approximates differentiation with an error of order 0(h2d+2), where d is the degree of the wavelet system. The degree of a wavelet system is defined as one less than the degree of the lowest-order nonvanishing moment of the ...

The performance of a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for a system with N connections sharing a common Active Queue Management (AQM) is analyzed for both AdditiveIncrease Multiplicative-Decrease (AIMD) and MultiplicativeIncrease Multiplicative-Decrease (MIMD) control mechanisms, where reduction signals follow either a cyclic or a probabilistic polling-type procedure. The Laplace-Stieltjes Tr...

We experimentally investigate the effect of time pressure in a rich-context, unstructured bargaining game with earned status and competing reference points. Our results show that average opening proposals, concessions, and agreed shares are very similar across different levels of time pressure. Nevertheless, as predicted, time pressure systematically influenced agreements. In particular, the li...

We analyze the connection between electric dipole moment of the electron and the soft leptogenesis in supersymmetric B−L extension of the standard model. In this model, the B−L symmetry is radiatively broken at TeV scale. Therefore, it is a natural framework for low scale seesaw mechanism and also for implementing the soft leptogenesis. We show that the phases of trilinear soft SUSY breaking co...

Visual attention serves as an information bottleneck, allowing for efficient analysis of a region of interest that shifts in location and spatial scale from moment to moment. We discuss a modeling framework for visual attention in which information flow through the visual hierarchy is regulated by dynamic control of connection strengths. A key aspect of this model involves the establishment of ...

Emotion recognition is the ability to identify what people would think someone is feeling from moment to moment and understand the connection between his/her feelings and expressions. In today’s world, human–computer interaction (HCI) interface undoubtedly plays an important role in our daily life. Toward harmonious HCI interface, automated analysis and recognition of human emotion has attracte...

Insight represents a special element of knowledge building. From the beginning of their lives, humans experience moments of insight in which a certain idea or solution becomes as clear to them as never before. Especially in the field of visual representations, insight has the potential to be at the core of comprehension and pattern recognition. Still, one problem is that this moment of clarity ...

This is an introduction to the author’s recent work on constrained systems. Firstly, a generalization of the Marsden-Weinstein reduction procedure in symplectic geometry is presented this is a reformulation of ideas of MikamiWeinstein and Xu. Secondly, it is shown how this procedure is quantized by Rieffel induction, a technique in operator algebra theory. The essential point is that a symplect...

A new numerical integration method, termed Discrete Moment Method (DMM), is proposed for univariate functions that are piecewise higher order convex. This means that the interval where the function is defined can be subdivided into non-overlapping subintervals such that in each interval all divided differences of given orders, do not change the sign. The new method uses piecewise polynomial low...

This paper explores some applications of a twomoment inequality for the integral of the r-th power of a function, where 0 < r < 1. The first contribution is an upper bound on the Rényi entropy of a random vector in terms of the two different moments. When one of the moments is the zeroth moment, these bounds recover previous results based on maximum entropy distributions under a single moment c...
