Tree approximation is a form of nonlinear wavelet approximation that appears naturally in applications such as image compression and entropy encoding. The distinction between tree approximation and the more familiar n-term ...

We define hierarchies for negative values of the index of Poisson tensors, master symmetries and Hamiltonians for the finite, nonperiodic, relativistic Toda lattice. We show that the usual relations between master symmetries, ...

Long time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Yang-Mills heat equation have been proven over a compact 3-manifold with boundary for initial data of finite energy. In the present paper, we improve on previous ...

This paper presents a neural-networks-based disturbance rejection adaptive scheme for dealing with repeatable and nonrepeatable runout simultaneously. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated empirically on a ...

A new approach on tail index estimation is proposed based on studying the in-sample evolution of appropriately chosen diverging statistics. The resulting estimators are simple to construct, and they can be generalized to ...

We establish a new positive functional estimate for the FejérJackson sum Sn(θ) = Σnk=1 k-1 sin kθ. This result enables us to give a simple proof of a result of Askey and Steinig on a monotonic sine sum associated with the ...

Summary: The aim of this work is to investigate a new family of divergence measures based on the recently introduced Basu, Harris, Hjort and Jones (BHHJ) measure of divergence (Biometrika 85, 549-559). The new family is ...

An indirect robust adaptive controller designed for linear time-invariant plants may also meet its control objective approximately for slowly time-varying plants. The plant parameter variations act as a disturbance in the ...

Significant wave height, Hs, is a measure of the variability of the ocean surface and is defined to be four times the standard deviation of the height of the ocean surface. In this paper, we present a methodology for ...

Traffic flow models play an irreplaceable role in the design and evaluation of variable speed limit (VSL) controllers. All existing models for incorporating VSL effects are based on modifications of the steady-state ...
