The concept of Bregman distances for Euclidean space vectors was introduced by Bregman (1967) in the context of convex programming. In this setup, the Bregman method has been widely applied and adapted, especially for the design of regularization algorithms for …nding a good approximate solution of inverse problems e.g. in image processing (tomography etc.), see for instance Censor and Lent (19...

In this paper a framework is developed for measuring the complexities of deductions in an ab­ stract and computationally perspicuous man­ ner. As a notion of central importance appears the so-called polynomial transparency of a cal­ culus. If a logic calculus possesses this prop­ erty, then the complexity of any deduction can be correctly measured in terms of its inference steps. The resolution...

Ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDDs) are graph-based data structures for representing Boolean functions. They have found widespread use in computer-aided design and in formal veri cation of digital circuits. Minimal trellises are graphical representations of error-correcting codes that play a prominent role in coding theory. This paper establishes a close connection between these two graphi...

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is becoming an increasingly mature field of work, but many large organizations still struggle with implementing an integral and truly effective EA function. The literature provides a fragmented picture of the EA function, describing the various separate elements that make up the total package of activities, resources, skills, and competences of the EA delivery funct...

Enterprise architecture (EA) management has become an intensively discussed approach to manage enterprise transformations. Despite the popularity and potential of EA, both researchers and practitioners lament a lack of knowledge about the realization of benefits from EA. To determine the benefits from EA, we explore the various dimensions of EA benefit realization and report on the development ...

Introduction: Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is defined as a congenital malformation characterized with the interruption or obstruction of esophagus. Affected neonates may present with cyanosis during breast feeding, sialorrhea, coughing and difficulty in respiration. The defect should be corrected by surgery; otherwise, the condition ca...
