The Inverse Frobenius-Perron problem (IFPP) concerns the creation of discrete chaotic mappings with arbitrary invariant densities. In this note, we present a new and elegant solution to the IFPP, based on positive matrix theory. Our method allows chaotic maps with arbitrary piecewise-constant invariant densities, and with arbitrary mixing properties, to be synthesized.

We introduce a novel approach for separating and segmenting individual facades from streetside images. Our algorithm incorporates prior knowledge about arbitrarily shaped repetitive regions which are detected using intensity profile descriptors and a voting–based matcher. In the experiments we compare our approach to extended state–of–the–art matching approaches using more than 600 challenging ...

Designing hypermedia systems might be a complex task as soon as the number of chunks of information to organize is large. In the task of designing hypermedia systems, interactive dynamic maps can provide designers with a better understanding of the semantics of the underlying set of documents, thus providing assistance in the design process. In this paper we present topic maps and techniques fo...

In this paper we propose an ontological framework for tools facilitating creative writing and story reading. It is based on an ontology implemented as a topic map and employs linguistic analysis methods for discovering conceptual entities in the text.

The aim of this paper is to introduce fuzzy ($e$, almost) $e^{*}$-regular spaces in $check{S}$ostak's fuzzy topological spaces. Using the $r$-fuzzy $e$-closed sets, we define $r$-($r$-$theta$-, $r$-$etheta$-) $e$-cluster points and their properties. Moreover, we investigate the relations among $r$-($r$-$theta$-, $r$-$etheta$-) $e$-cluster points, $r$-fuzzy ($e$, almost) $e^{*}$-regular spaces a...
