A matrix decomposition RBF algorithm: Approximation of functions and their derivatives
(2007)We propose an efficient algorithm for the approximation of functions and their derivatives using radial basis functions (RBFs). The interpolation points are placed on concentric circles and the resulting matrix has a block ...

Measurement of the lifetime difference between Bs mass eigenstates
(2005)We present measurements of the lifetimes and polarization amplitudes for Bs 0 → J/ψφ and Bd 0 → J/ψK*0 decays. Lifetimes of the heavy and light mass eigenstates in the Bs 0 system are separately measured for the first time ...

Modeling change of haplotype distributions in random mating populations using random sets
(2004)Several mathematical models have been developed to describe the genetic structure of populations. Most of these models focus on only one, or few genetic loci. In this paper, we develop a model to describe a large number ...

Multilevel characterizations of anisotropic function spaces
(2005)We present a general method for extending decomposition systems of L 2(ℝd) to decomposition systems for the anisotropic Triebel-Lizorkin and Besov spaces, Fp,qα,s and Bp,qα,s, respectively, for the full range of the indexes. ...

Nash equilibria in discrete routing games with convex latency functions
(2004)We study Nash equilibria in a discrete routing game that combines features of the two most famous models for non-cooperative routing, the KP model [16] and the Wardrop model [27]. In our model, users share parallel links. ...

Note on the distribution of extreme wave crests
(2005)The sea elevation at a fixed point is modelled by means of a second order model, which is a smooth algebraic function of a vector valued Gaussian process. Asymptotic methods, presented first in [1], are used to estimate ...

A numerical conformal mapping method for harmonic mixed boundary value problems
(1996)We describe a simple and versatile technique for the numerical solution of harmonic mixed boundary value problems in simply-connected domains. This technique is based on the theory of Riemann-Hilbert problems, and involves ...

Optimization of nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled systems: Entropy rate functional and robustness
(2004)This paper is concerned with nonlinear stochastic uncertain relaxed controlled difussions, in which the pay-off is described by the relative entropy between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, when the uncertain ...

Optimizing the utility function-based self-adaptive behavior of context-aware systems using user feedback
(2008)The vision of ubiquitous computing is about numerous devices embedded in our every-day environment, designed to serve humans in a non-obtrusive manner while minimizing the required user attention. These devices are expected ...

Piecewise analytic approximation for Bose-Einstein condensates in isotropic harmonic traps
(2004)Analytic simulacra of the wave functions in the regions around the origin and far from the origin were constructed to emulate the ground state and the single-vortex state of a Bose-Einstein condensate in an isotropic ...

Piecewise linear emulation of propagating fronts as a method for determining their speeds
(2003)The selected speed of pushed fronts was found through analytic calculations. The resulting analytic solution constitutes an excellent approximation to the exact propagating front, yielding also the correct value for the ...

Poisson approximation for a sum of dependent indicators: An alternative approach
(2002)The random variables X1, X2,...,Xn are said to be totally negatively dependent (TND) if and only if the random variables Xi and Σj≠i Xj are negatively quadrant dependent for all i. Our main result provides, for TND 0-1 ...

Remarks on the explicit solutions for nonlinear partially observable stochastic control problems and relations to H∞ or robust control
(IEEE, 1995)Partially observable stochastic and H∞ control problems are considered. The dynamics include nonlinearities which are the gradient of some potential function in addition to linear terms, the observations are linear, and ...
