The animation of synthetic faces is still a low-level process requiring much human expertise and hw/sw resources. The constraint-based facial animation editor system, FESINC, provides two kinds of support: allows the a-priory, declarative definition of dynamical expressions and requirements, and assures that while making the animation, these requirements are fulfilled. The novelty of the approa...

This is a statisticalmodel (the “multiple logistic model”) for pooling data from many variables into a single probability estimate that a person examined in a health screening system requires medical care. Because discrete variables are frequently studied in health screening programs, the required assumption of multivariate normality of the predictor variables related to many statistical techni...

In this paper, we prove uniform Morrey-Campanato type estimates for this equation, using a multiplier method borrowed from [9]. These bounds encode in the optimal way the decay: |u(x)| ∼ 1/|x| d−1 2 at infinity of the solution u. They imply weighted L-estimates for the solution u. We also prove a uniform L-estimate without weight for the trace of the solution on the interface, which states that...

3.1 Maximum likelihood estimates — in exponential families. Let (X, B) be a measurable space and {P θ , θ ∈ Θ} a measurable family of laws on (X, B), dominated by a σ-finite measure v. Let f (θ, x) be a jointly measurable version of the density (dP θ /dv)(x) by Theorem 1.3.3. For each x ∈ X, a maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of θ is any θ ˆ = θ ˆ (x) such that f (ˆ θ, x) = sup{f (φ, x) : φ ∈ ...

Time optimal control problems for a class of linear multi-input systems are considered. The problems are regularized and the asymptotic and monotone behavior of the regularisation procedure is investigated. For the regularised problems the applicability of semi-smooth Newton methods is verified. First numerical tests are presented which show that the proposed approach, differently from other me...

In the present paper we investigate the problem of approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral R b a f ( ) du ( ) in the case when the integrand f is (n+ 1)-time di¤erentiable (n 0) and the derivative f (n+1) is continuous on [a; b], while the integrator u is Riemann integrable on [a; b] : A priory error bounds for di¤erent classes of functions are provided.
