Object recognition is a very important task in industrial applications. Attributed string matching is a well-known technique for pattern matching. The present paper proposes a fuzzy string-matching approach for two-dimensional object recognition. The fuzzy numbers are used to represent the edit costs. Therefore, the edit distances are also presented as fuzzy numbers. The attributed string-match...

BACKGROUND To investigate the long-term outcome of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LAG) for gastric cancer (GC) with preoperative enlarged lymph nodes (LNs). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data on 855 patients who underwent LAG for GC. The patients were divided into large (>10 mm) and small (≤10 mm) LN groups (LG and SG) based on the preoperative size of the LNs. The out...

in the paper a model to predict the concentrations of particulate matter pm10, pm2.5, so2, no, co and o3 for a chosen number of hours forward is proposed. the method requires historical data for a large number of points in time, particularly weather forecast data, actual weather data and pollution data. the idea is that by matching forecast data with similar forecast data in the historical data...

Several sequences of graphs are introduced whose perfect matching numbers, or Kekulé numbers, K(G), are either Fibonacci or Lucas numbers, or their multiples. Since the ratio of the K(G)s of consecutive members converges to the golden ratio, these sequences of graphs belong to another class of golden family graphs.

Random matching is often used in economic models as a means of introducing uncertainty in sequential decision problems. We show that random matching processes that satisfy standard proportionality laws are not unique. We give conditions on the payo¤s and transitions functions of sequential decision models that insure that the models are robust to the non-uniqueness of the matching process. Unde...

The strong matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of vertices and edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost-perfect matchings. This is an extension of the matching preclusion problem that was introduced by Park and Ihm. The generalized (n, k)-star graph was introduced to address scaling issues of the star graph, and it has many de...

In this paper, we derive recursive formulas for by classifying counting cases associated edges given vertex, from which obtain number matching, polynomials, generating function computing some polynomi...

The matching preclusion set of a graph is a set of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost perfect matchings. The matching preclusion number is the minimum cardinality over all matching preclusion sets. We show in this paper that, for any ≥  , the matching preclusion numbers of both -dimensional restricted HL-graph and recursive circulant  ...

In this paper, we study matching integral graphs of small order. A graph is called matching integral if the zeros of its matching polynomial are all integers. Matching integral graphs were first studied by Akbari, Khalashi, etc. They characterized all traceable graphs which are matching integral. They studied matching integral regular graphs. Furthermore, it has been shown that there is no matc...

schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, online analytical process (olap), data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. this task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. in this paper, we present a new impr...
