Primal-dual path-following algorithms are considered for determinant maximization problem (maxdet-problem). These algorithms apply Newton's method to a primal-dual central path equation similar to that in semideenite programming (SDP) to obtain a Newton system which is then symmetrized to avoid nonsymmetric search direction. Computational aspects of the algorithms are discussed, including Mehro...

Review Article ORAL MANIFESTATIONS OF PEDIATRIC AIDS: A REVIEW Garg K, Singh G, Mehrotra V, Raju SM, Singh R Abstract: Oral manifestations are often among the 1 symptoms of HIV/AIDS and thus can be useful in early detection of the disease. The distribution of some of the specific oral manifestations are reported to differ between adults and children HIV.As the oral manifestations are among the ...

Research into computerized storage and retrieval of pictorial information has grown from modest beginnings in the late 1970's to a thriving field encompassing areas as diverse as digitized maps, satellite images, fingerprint collections, and libraries of engineering or architectural drawings. As more and more applications have been developed, the limitations of conventional retrieval methods ha...

Mehrotra-type predictor-corrector algorithm, as one of most efficient interior point methods, has become the backbones of most optimization packages. Salahi et al. proposed a cut strategy based algorithm for linear optimization that enjoyed polynomial complexity and maintained its efficiency in practice. We extend their algorithm to P∗(κ) linear complementarity problems. The way of choosing cor...

Abstract A new primal-dual interior-point algorithm applicable to nonsymmetric conic optimization is proposed. It a generalization of the famous suggested by Nesterov and Todd for symmetric case, uses scalings cones proposed Tunçel. We specialize Tunçel’s important case 3 dimensional exponential-cones, resulting in practical with good numerical performance, on level standard cone ( e.g. , quadr...

A multidatabase system (MDBS) is a software system for integration of preexisting and independent local database management systems (DBMSs). The transaction management problem in MDBSs consists of designing appropriate software, on top of local DBMSs, such that users can execute transactions that span multiple local DBMSs without jeopardizing database consistency. The difficulty in transaction ...

This paper proposes a hybrid query refinement model for distance-based index structures supporting contentbased image retrievals. The framework refines a query by considering both the low-level feature space as well as the high-level semantic interpretations separately. Thus, it successfully handles queries where the gap between the feature components and the semantics is large. It refines the ...
