This paper documents a simulation study undertaken to gain insights into the Vari-Metric multi-echelon repairable inventory optimization method. The method was analyzed in the context of the Coast Guard’s fleet of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, for which operational availability is the key performance metric. Failure rates of parts in this system exhibit variance-to-mean ratios higher than one...

Image fusion is defined as the process of combining tw o or more different images into a new single image retaining important features from each image w ith extended information content. There are two approaches to image fusion, namely Spatial Fusion and Transform fusion. In Spatial fusion, the pixel values from the source images are directly summed up and taken average to form the pixel of the...

The results of this paper are concerned with the multi-covering radius, a generalization of covering radius, of Rank Distance (RD) codes. This leads to greater understanding of RD codes and their distance properties. Results on multi-covering radii of RD codes under various constructions are given by varying the parameters. Some bounds are established. A relationship between multi-covering radi...

Authors References Cited By Index Terms Publication Reviews Comments Table of Contents Huge amount of researches and software metrics have been proposed for procedural and object-oriented languages. However, there are only few metrics available in the literature related with multi-paradigm programming languages. In this paper, we propose a metric to evaluate the code written in multi-paradigm l...

A continuum is an arboroid if it is hereditarily unicoherent and arcwise connected. A metric arboroid is a dendroid. A generalized dendrite is a locally connected arboroid. Among other things, we shall prove that a locally connected continuum X is a generalized dendrite if and only if X has the fixed point property for continuous, closed set-valued mappings.

In this paper we consider the stochastic multi-armed bandit with metric switching costs. Given a set of locations (arms) in a metric space and prior information about the reward available at these locations, cost of getting a sample/play at every location and rules to update the prior based on samples/plays, the task is to maximize a certain objective function constrained to a distance cost of ...

The Depth-Image-Based-Rendering (DIBR) algorithms used for 3D video applications introduce geometric distortions affecting the edge coherency in the synthesized images. In order to better deal with specific geometric distortions in the DIBR synthesized images, we propose full-reference metric based on multi-scale pyramid decompositions using morphological filters. The non-linear morphological f...
