Abstract We propose a novel minimal solver for sphere fitting via its 2D central projection, i.e. , special ellipse. The input of the presented algorithm consists contour points detected in camera image. General ellipse problems require five points. However, taking advantage isotropic spherical target, three are enough to define tangent cone parameters sphere. This yields sought parameters. Sim...

In this note we nd the exact solution for the minimal recurrence S n = min bn=2c k=1 faS n?k + bS k g; where a and b are positive integers and a b. We prove that the solution is the same as that of the recurrence relation S n = aS dn=2e + bS bn=2c. In other words, S n = S 1 +(a+b?1)S 1 P n?1 i=1 a z(i) b blg nc?z(i) , where z(i) is the number of zeros in the binary representation of i. The proo...

We give a complete and consistent solution to string corrected (deformed), D=10, N=1 Supergravity as the non-minimal low energy limit of string theory. We solve the Bianchi identities with suitable constraints to second order in the string slope parameter. In so doing we pave the way for continuing the study of the many applications of these results. We also modify, reaffirm and correct a previ...

‎in this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (ssm) and collocation method is proposed to solve volterra-fredholm integral equations‎. ‎the set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎numerical results on some problems are given...
