2014 A method is suggested for an accurate experimental measurement of the topography of the surface thermoelastic deformations in solids, induced by a point focused CW laser beam. An approximate theory for the surface deformation of anisotropic materials is obtained. Different cuts of quartz and glass samples have been examined. Revue Phys.

We describe a sequential universal data compression procedure for binary tree sources that performs the \double mixture". Using a context tree, this method weights in an eecient recursive way the coding distributions corresponding to all bounded memory tree sources, and achieves a desirable coding distribution for tree sources with an unknown model and unknown parameters. Computational and stor...
