Rank-One Approximation to High Order Tensors
Authors: Tong Zhang, Gene H. Golub
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

The singular value decomposition (SVD) has been extensively used in engineering and statistical applications. This method was originally discovered by Eckart and Young in [Psychometrika, 1 (1936), pp. 211--218], where they considered the problem of low-rank approximation to a matrix. A natural generalization of the SVD is the problem of low-rank approximation to high order tensors, which we call the multidimensional SVD. In this paper, we investigate certain properties of this decomposition as well as numerical algorithms.

Value America (NASDAQ:VUSA) was supposed to revolutionize retailing by using the Internet-no more retailers or distributors needed. Fred Smith, legendary founder of Federal Express, called it the best business model he'd ever seen and invested millions of dollars. In a few short years, the company raised and spent hundreds of millions of dollars before a spectacular crash.
Optimal Consecutive-k-out-of-n: G Cycle for n \leq 2k+1
Authors: Ding-Zhu Du, Frank K. Hwang, Xiaohua Jia, Hung Q. Ngo
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

A cyclic consecutive-k-out-of-n: G system consists of n components lying on a cycle. Those components are exchangeable but may have different working probabilities. The system works if and only if there are k consecutive components at work. What is the optimal assignment of components for maximizing the reliability of the system? Does the optimal assignment depend on the working probability values of components? For $k \leq n \leq 2k+1$, Zuo and Kuo in 1990 proposed a solution independent from the working probability values of components, called the invariant optimal assignment. However, their proof is incomplete, pointed out recently by Jalali et al. [The Optimal Consecutive-k-out-of-n: G Line for $n \leq 2k$}, manuscript, 1999]. We present a complete proof in this paper.

A Current-Mode Hysteretic Winner-take-all Network, with Excitatory and Inhibitory Coupling
Authors: Giacomo Indiveri
Venue: Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (2001)

Winner-take-all (WTA) circuits are commonly used in a wide variety of applications. One of the most used current-mode WTA designs is the one originally proposed by Lazzaro et al. [1]. Several extensions to this design have been suggested in the past. In this paper we present a variant of this current-mode WTA circuit, containing all of the enhancements previously proposed, together with new additional modifications that endow it with interesting hysteretic and lateral inhibition and excitation properties. We compare the performance of this WTA circuit to the original WTA design, providing experimental data obtained from a VLSI chip containing both types of circuits, designed using closely matched layouts. We derive analytically the response properties of the circuit's lateral diffusion network, pointing out the differences to previously proposed diffusion networks, and present experimental data confirming the theoretical predictions. We also describe application domains that can best exploit these types of hysteretic WTA circuits.
Understanding WAP: Wireless Applications, Devices, and Services, 1st edition
Authors: Marcel Van Der Heijden, Marcus Taylor
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:Over the last five years or so a revolution has taken place, and continues to do so, that is changing the way we communicate and interact with each other and our environment. The advent of the Internet and the ubiquitous presence of mobile personal communications systems are the most prominent examples of this. The Internet has made it possible to exchange information instantly on a worldwide scale and has released unprecedented amounts of information into the public domain. Mobile communications allowed personal communications on an anytime, anywhere basis. While mobile access is possible using standard technology, more is needed to make mobile access truly seamless. The creation of a world standard for mobile Internet access and information access would ensure a rapid growth and a basis for all mobile communications users to interact. The wireless application protocol (WAP) is an attempt to do just that, and judging by the industry support at the time of this writing, a successful one. The impact of WAP on all parties in the value chain of services delivery and information exchange is hard to underestimate. WAP will be an additional channel for some to offer their services, a new enabler for others who can now offer services that could not be offered before. It will be a treat for some and an opportunity to others, depending on the approach taken. Most of all, it will release an enormous potential of services and applications for the end users. In many ways WAP will probably change the world as the Internet and mobile communications have done before. Understanding WAP: Wireless Applications, Devices, and Services is a comprehensive description of many aspects ofWAP. It will explain some technicalities of WAP and the system elements involved for a full understanding of the potential of WAP, though it is not specifically geared towards engineers only. It will also describe the impact of WAP on wireless operators and service providers. This book is aimed at engineers and technical managers as an introduction to WAP and at business managers as a way to gain an understanding of the technical background of WAP. Finally, the editors wish to express their gratitude to all who have contributed to the creation of this book and who have made working on this book an interesting experience.

Analysing primary and lower order project success drivers
Authors: Claes Wohlin, Anneliese Amschler Andrews
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

Project success is influenced by many factors. Some are primary drivers of project success, others secondary. However, these secondary factors may be no less important to understand and learn from than the primary factors. In addition, project success drivers are often qualitative and subjective, eluding analysis through traditional statistical methods. This paper presents a method that analyses the influence and nature of primary and lower order project success drivers. A case study illustrates the usefulness of this analysis and the additional understanding gained from including lower order success drivers in the analysis. The method extends existing work that has been restricted to primary drivers.
Partitions and (m and n) Sums of Products---Two Cell Partition
Authors: Gregory L. Smith
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

We let $SP_m (\langle X_t \rangle^\infty_{t=1})$ denote the sums of $m$ increasing products from a sequence $\langle X_t \rangle^{\infty}_{t=1}$. Given $m \neq n$, we construct a two cell partition of $\mathbb{N}$ so that neither cell contains $SP_n \langle X \rangle^{\infty}_{t=1}) \cup SP_m (\langle y\rangle>^{\infty}_{t = 1})$ for any sequences $\langle X_t \rangle^{\infty}_{t=1}$ and $\langle y \rangle^\infty_{t=1}$.

Fast Greedy Weighted Fusion
Authors: Ken Kennedy
Venue: International Journal of Parallel Programming (2001)

Loop fusion is an important compiler strategy for managing memory hierarchy. By fusing loops that use the same data elements, a compiler can reduce the distance between accesses to the same datum and avoid costly cache misses. Unfortunately the problem of optimal loop fusion for reuse has been shown to be NP-hard, so compilers must resort to heuristics to avoid unreasonably long compile times. Greedy strategies are often excellent heuristics that produce high-quality solutions quickly. We present an algorithm for greedy weighted fusion, in which the heaviest edge (the one with the most reuse) is selected for possible fusion on each step. The algorithm is shown to be fast in the sense that it takes O(V(E+V)) time, which is arguably optimal for producing the greedy solution. In addition, this algorithm has the advantage that it requires only O(E) edge reweighting operations after fusions. This means that it is suitable for use on the problem of enhancing cache reuse, for which the ideal reweighting operation is much more complex than addition. If each reweighting operation requires no more than O(V) time, the time bound of the overall fusion process remains at O(V(E+V)).

Interference Patterns in Regular Graphs with Bijective Colorings
Authors: Peter C. Fishburn, Paul E. Wright
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

Let ${\cal G}_d (n)$ be the set of d-regular simple graphs with n vertices, and for $G = (V,E)$ in ${\cal G}_d (n)$ let $f: V \to \{1,2, \ldots, n \}$ be a bijective coloring of the vertices of G. Also let $\alpha$ denote an interference parameter in $\{0,1, \ldots, n-1 \}$, and define the interference number of f with respect to G and $\alpha$ as the number of edges $\{u,v\}$ in $E$ for which $\min \{ | f(u) - f(v) |$, $n- | f(u) - f(v) | \} \le \alpha$. We consider two interference number problems for feasible $(n, \alpha, d)$. The first is to specify a $G \in {\cal G}_d (n)$ and an f for which the interference number is as small as possible. The second is to determine a $G \in {\cal G}_d (n)$ whose minimum interference number over all f is as large as possible. A previous paper completely solves both problems for d = 2. The present paper solves the first problem for all $d \ge 3$ and obtains partial results for the second problem for $d \ge 3$ that focus on interference-minimizing f's when G consists of disjoint copies of $K_{d+1}$.
Existence of Solutions to Discrete Semicoercive Frictional Contact Problems
Authors: Anders Klarbring, Jong-Shi Pang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1998)

This paper establishes new, sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the discrete, three-dimensional, deformable body, small displacement, frictional contact problem with a positive semidefinite stiffness matrix. The approach is based on a quasi-variational inequality formulation of the problem and makes extensive use of known results from linear complementarity theory.
Using UNIX, 2nd edition
Authors: Steve Moritsugu, Julia Kelly, Dtr Business Systems
Venue:  (1998)

:Using Unix is designed to meet the reader s needs by focusing on the problems and concerns of the beginning to intermediate Unix user. This book will focus on the System V and Solaris flavors of Unix. The majority of Unix books are geared toward the administrator. They often have a separate section for each command, such as grep, sed, awk, etc. That type of format makes it difficult for the reader to know where to look to find an answer to a particular question, and creates a book that has very little value for the end-user. Using Unix will fill this hole in the current marketplace by meeting the needs of the end-user with a task-based reference they can count on. The effective use of cross-references and index aliases found in the Using series makes it easy for the reader to find the information they need quickly, even when they are not sure what to look for.Many UNIX books are geared toward the administrator. Using Unix is aimed at the end-userThis book will have a truly innovative task oriented structure, rather than the traditional (and difficult to use) one command-per-section structureThis complete reference will show the reader how to manage and use their System V and Solaris systems productively
Communications Technology Guide for Business, 1st edition
Authors: Richard Downey, Philip Walsh, Sean Boland
Venue:  (1997)

:Making better use of existing communications technologies may sound simple, but many managers feel unqualified to develop even a basic plan. This new guide fills in the blanks by providing a broad, integrated view of technologies available worldwide  including the Internet and Web, digital mobile telephony, ISDN, SMDS, frame relay, and ATM  from a practical business perspective. The book focuses on current communications technologies and services of interest to the business community and technical managers. Covering both private and public networks, it offers a basic explanation of a wide range of technologies and describes their underlying principles and features, as well as the factors that differentiate them, such as cost, security, availability, and performance. The guide also showcases typical applications, exposes inherent limitations, explains pricing and methods of comparison, and discusses security pitfalls and protection systems. Its coverage of implementation issues includes an outline of the business planning process and recommendations on solution design, procurement, and supplier management. The book is an excellent hands-on reference for both nontechnical and technical managers  business managers, engineering managers, communications managers, and IT managers  who are involved in IT strategy and implementation in a corporate environment. It is also an excellent resource for professionals in the communications industry  sales and marketing personnel will find it particularly useful.
Optimality Models in Behavioral Biology
Authors: J. M. McNamara, A. I. Houston, E. J. Collins
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

The action of natural selection results in organisms that are good at surviving and reproducing. We show how this intuitive idea can be given a formal definition in terms of fitness and reproductive value. An optimal strategy maximizes fitness, and reproductive value provides a common currency for comparing different actions. We provide a broad review of models and methods that have been used in this area, stressing the conceptual issues and exposing the logic of evolutionary explanations.
