Efficient operator overloading AD for solving nonlinear PDEs
Authors: Engelbert Tijskens, Herman Ramon, Josse De Baerdemaeker
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

By employing automatic differentiation (AD), solvers for nonlinear systems of PDEs can be developed which relieve the user from the extra work of linearising a nonlinear PDE system and at the same time improve performance. This is achieved by extending common AD techniques using operator overloading to take advantage of the fact that in a FEM/FD/FV framework, a limited number of functions and their partial derivatives with respect to the unknowns have to be evaluated many times. The extension is implemented in C++ for both forward and reverse modes, and compared to hand coded evaluation of derivatives and two state-of-the-art AD implementations, ADIC [84] and ADOL-C [242, 243]. An application is discussed which dramatically reduces the cost of solver development.
Knowledge Emergence: Social, Technical, and Evolutionary Dimensions of Knowledge Creation
Authors: Ikujiro Nonaka, Toshihiro Nishiguchi
Venue:  (2000)

:This book brings together the research of a number of scholars in the field of knowledge creation and imparts a sense of order to the field. The chapters share three characteristics: they are all grounded in extensive qualitative and/or quantitative research; they all go beyond the mere description of the knowledge-creation process and offer both theoretical and strategic implications; they share a view of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer as delicate processes, necessitating particular forms of support from managers.
Twice Differentiable Spectral Functions
Authors: Adrian S. Lewis, Hristo S. Sendov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

A function F on the space of n &times; n real symmetric matrices is called spectral if it depends only on the eigenvalues of its argument. Spectral functions are just symmetric functions of the eigenvalues. We show that a spectral function is twice (continuously) differentiable at a matrix if and only if the corresponding symmetric function is twice (continuously) differentiable at the vector of eigenvalues. We give a concise and usable formula for the Hessian.

A Rational Compromise in the System Problem of Disclosure of Conceptual Uncertainty
Authors: N. D. Pankratova
Venue: Cybernetics and Systems Analysis (2002)

A general approach and methods are proposed for matched system solution of the following sequence of interconnected problems: the construction of a set of objective functions from empirical data under conceptually uncertain conditions, the determination of a Pareto set under the condition of a rational mutual matching of the set of values and the domain of objective functions, and a multicriterion choice of a rational solution on a Pareto set under the condition of a compromise between inconsistent objectives. As a result, new possibilities are opened up for finding rational compromises in multicriterion problems of conceptual design, situation prediction, and innovation planning.

Developing CSCW tools for idea finding -: empirical results and implications for design
Authors: Thorsten Prante, Carsten Magerkurth, Norbert Streitz
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work (2002)

In this paper, we first describe a formative empirical study to inform the design of CSCW tools to support idea finding in co-located groups. Groups of students worked on creative problems with mapping and whiteboard tools in different work modes. Concluding from the results of the study, requirements are derived. A suite of tools that are informed by these requirements is presented along with typical scenarios of their usage. The suite consists of three software components covering a Mind-Mapping system (BeachMap), a novel interaction technique for successive bottom-up structuring of ideas (MagNets), and a PDA tool for asynchronous idea generation "on the road" (PalmBeach).
Jigsaw image mosaics
Authors: Junhwan Kim, Fabio Pellacini
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

This paper introduces a new kind of mosaic, called Jigsaw Image Mosaic (JIM), where image tiles of arbitrary shape are used to compose the final picture. The generation of a Jigsaw Image Mosaic is a solution to the following problem: given an arbitrarily-shaped container image and a set of arbitrarily-shaped image tiles, fill the container as compactly as possible with tiles of similar color to the container taken from the input set while optionally deforming them slightly to achieve a more visually-pleasing effect. We approach the problem by defining a mosaic as the tile configuration that minimizes a mosaicing energy function. We introduce a general energy-based framework for mosaicing problems that extends some of the existing algorithms such as Photomosaics and Simulated Decorative Mosaics. We also present a fast algorithm to solve the mosaicing problem at an acceptable computational cost. We demonstrate the use of our method by applying it to a wide range of container images and tiles.

Computable Error Bounds For Convex Inequality Systems In Reflexive Banach Spaces
Authors: Sien Deng
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

In 1952, A. J. Hoffman proved a fundamental result of an error bound on the distance from any point to the solution set of a linear system in $\hbox{{\bbb R}}^n$. In SIAM J. Control, 13 (1975), pp. 271--273, Robinson extended Hoffman's theorem to any system of convex inequalities in a normed linear space which satisfies the Slater constraint qualification and has a bounded solution set. This paper studies any system of convex inequalities in a reflexive Banach space which has an unbounded solution set. It is shown that Hoffman's error bound holds for such a system when a related convex system, which defines the recession cone of the solution set for the system, satisfies the Slater constraint qualification.
Reducing access energy of on-chip data memory considering active data bitwidth
Authors: Takanori Okuma, Yun Cao, Masanori Muroyama, Hiroto Yasuura
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper presents a new concept called active data bitwidth, which is the effective data length of data bus. By means of profiling the active data bitwidth dynamically, we present a novel low-energy memory access technique for on-chip data memory design. By reducing the redundant access energy of data memory, our experimental results of two real applications, show that we can achieve significant energy reduction. Compared to the monolithic memory, for JPEG, 52.2%; for MPEG-2 84.2%, the energy reduction is reported. Compared to the memory banking technique, 12.3% energy reduction for JPEG and 65.9% for MPEG-2 is reported.

ISSAC '97 Poster Abstracts
Authors: Mark J. Encarnación
Venue: ACM SIGSAM Bulletin (1997)

We consider the following problem: suppose there exist numerical algorithms for obtaining the parameters of n best Chebyshev approximations by different expressions.Fk(A,x) = Fk(a0, a1, hellip;,am;x), k = 1,2, hellip;,n. (1)to a function f(x) on an interval [a, b]. If the quantity (m+1) of the unknown parameters is the same, then the proper choice of the form of approximating expression Fk(A,x) can greatly reduce the maximum error of approximation [1,3]. The procedures for choosing the proper form of approximating expressions are not found in any computer algebra systems due to the great amount of calculations needed. All the more the approximations with different expressions on subintervals are not used. But the evaluation time can be impressively decreased by using analytical transformations.

Mobile text entry using three keys
Authors: Scott MacKenzie
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Six techniques for three-key text entry are described. The techniques use Left- and Right-arrow keys to maneuver a cursor over a linear sequence of characters, and a Select key to select characters. The keystrokes per character (KSPC) for the methods varies from 10.66 to 4.23. Two techniques were chosen for formal evaluation. Method #2 positions characters in alphabetical order, while Method #6 uses linguistic enhancement to reorder characters following each entry to minimize the cursor distance to the next character. Both methods position SPACE on the left and use a snap-to-home cursor mode, whereby the cursor snaps to SPACE after each entry. Entry rates were about 9-10 wpm for both techniques, as measured in an experiment with ten participants. Interaction issues are examined, such as the challenges in using linguistic knowledge to accelerate input, and the opportunity for using typamatic (viz. auto-repeat) keying strategies to reduce the number of physical keypresses.
Integrable equations arising from motions of plane curves
Authors: Kai-Seng Chou, Changzheng Qu
Venue: Physica D (2002)

The motion of plane curves in Klein geometry is studied. It is shown that the KdV, Harry-Dym, Sawada-Kotera, Burgers, the defocusing mKdV hierarchies, the Camassa-Holm and the Kaup-Kupershmidt equation naturally arise from the motions of plane curves in SL(2)-, Sim(2)-, SA(2)- and A(2)-geometries. These local and nonlocal dynamics conserve global geometric quantities of curves such as perimeter and enclosed area. Motions of curves in Euclidean, special linear and similarity geometries corresponding to the traveling wave solutions of the mKdV, KdV and Burgers equations are discussed.
