This paper proposes a left-corner parser which can identify nonlocal dependencies. Our parser integrates nonlocal dependency identification into a transition-based system. We use a structured perceptron which enables our parser to utilize global features captured by nonlocal dependencies. An experimental result demonstrates that our parser achieves a good balance between constituent parsing and...

The nonlocal electrodynamics of accelerated systems is discussed in connection with the development of Lorentz-invariant nonlocal field equations. Nonlocal Maxwell’s equations are presented explicitly for certain linearly accelerated systems. In general, the field equations remain nonlocal even after accelerated motion has ceased.

A one-component bistable reaction-diffusion system with asymmetric nonlocal coupling is derived as a limiting case of a two-component activator-inhibitor reaction-diffusion model with differential advection. The effects of asymmetric nonlocal couplings in such a bistable reaction-diffusion system are then compared to the previously studied case of a system with symmetric nonlocal coupling. We c...

We present an algorithm for extracting high quality temporally coherent alpha mattes of objects from a video. Our approach extends the conventional image matting approach, i.e. closed-form matting, to video by using multi-frame nonlocal matting Laplacian. Our multi-frame nonlocal matting Laplacian is defined over a nonlocal neighborhood in spatial temporal domain, and it solves the alpha mattes...

In this paper, the stability characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the action of axial load are investigated. To this end, a nonlocal Flügge shell model is developed to accommodate the small length scale effects. The analytical Rayleigh-Ritz method with beam functions is applied to the variational statement derived from the Flügge-type buckling equations. Molecular dy...

this paper presents the thermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene sheet embedded in polymer elastic medium, using the plate theory and nonlocal continuum mechanics for small scale effects. the graphene is modeled based on continuum plate theory and the axial stress caused by the thermal effects is also considered. nonlocal governing equations of motion for this double-layer graphene s...

In this paper, the bond-based peridynamic system is analyzed as a nonlocal boundary value problem with volume constraint. The study extends earlier works in the literature on nonlocal diffusion and nonlocal peridynamic models to include non-positive definite kernels. We prove the well-posedness of both linear and nonlinear variational problems with volume constraints. The analysis is based on s...

Based on the standard finite element method, a new finite element method which is known as nonlocal finite element method (NL-FEM) is numerically implemented in this article to study the nonlocal effects for solving 1D nonlocal elastic problem. An Eringen-type nonlocal elastic model is considered. In this model, the constitutive stress-strain law is expressed interms of integral equation which ...

The paper shows that spectral wave propagation analysis reveals in a simple and clear manner the effectiveness of various regularization techniques for softening materials, i.e., materials for which the yield limits soften as a function of the total strain. Both plasticity and damage models are considered. It is verified analytically in a simple way that the nonlocal integral-type model with de...
