In this paper a finite difference method for solving 2-dimensional diffusion equation is presented. The method employs Crank-Nicolson scheme to improve finite difference formulation and its convergence and stability. The obtained solution will be a recursive formula in each step of which a system of linear equations should be solved. Given the specific form of obtained matrices, rather than sol...

We extend the ETAQA approach, initially proposed for the eecient numerical solution of a class of quasi birth-death processes, to the more complex case of M/G/1-type Markov processes. The proposed technique can be used for the exact solution of a class of M/G/1-type models by simply computing the solution of a nite linear system. We further demonstrate the utility of the method by describing th...

In this paper we consider two-person games in strategic form in cases in which each player has only two moves. The related Nash competitive and cooperative solution and Nash equilibria are presented. Nash cooperative solution is the only solution such that the corresponding payoffs respect three properties (belonging to feasible set, Pareto optimality and symmetry) together with two technical a...

Monocular depth has been found using estimation, closed-form solution and learning techniques. Estimation and closed-form solution compute the depth from motion, while learning techniques calculate the depth using a single image with a depth map as a supervisor. This paper presents a new closed form solution for monocular depth from motion. The proposed method builds on the notation that an int...

In this paper the necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the solution of a system of parameter varying linear inequalities of the form A (t)x ≥ b (t) for all t ∈ T , where T is an arbitrary set, x is the unknown vector, A (t) is a known triangular Toeplitz matrix and b (t) is a known vector. For every t ∈ T the corresponding inequality defines a polyhedron, in which the solution shou...

Photorealistic image style transfer algorithms aim at stylizing a content photo using the style of a reference photo with the constraint that the stylized photo should remains photorealistic. While several methods exist for this task, they tend to generate spatially inconsistent stylizations with noticeable artifacts. In addition, these methods are computationally expensive, requiring several m...

The efficacy of three hypertonic saline solutions for treating dialysis-induced hypotension in a randomized, blinded, crossover clinical trial of 10 patients (a minimum of three cycles per solution) was compared. Dialysis-induced hypotension, defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of at least 10 mm Hg or systolic blood pressure less than 100 mm Hg, was treated with an iv bolus of eith...
