Erratum: Hoffman's Error Bound, Local Controllability, and Sensitivity Analysis
Authors: Abderrahim Jourani
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

The proofs of Lemma 5.2 and Theorem 5.1 in [SIAM J. Control Optim., 38 (2000), pp. 947--970] have a common error which concerns the existence of (locally) Lipschitz selections. Indeed, Lemma 5.2 is true in the case where the multivalued mapping G is convex-valued, and in our case this assumption is not satisfied. So some modifications are needed. The statement of Theorem 5.1 (which does not use Lemma 5.2) is as follows.

Representing change by aspect
Authors: Peter Dolog, Valentino Vranić, Mária Bieliková
Venue: ACM SIGPLAN Notices (2001)

We propose the application of aspectoriented programming to software configuration management. We believe it could improve the change control by providing a new basis for reasoning about a change. To demonstrate this, we designed an abstract-oriented extension to procedural languages where a change is represented by an aspect. Consequently, a change gains the properties of an aspect: it becomes well-localized and separated from the (unchanged) base program. This goes beyond the current capabilities of configuration management methods and tools: the aspect representing the change can be applied to other versions of the program (possibly to different programs).
Robust Matchings
Authors: Refael Hassin, Shlomi Rubinstein
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

We consider complete graphs with nonnegative edge weights. A p-matching is a set of p disjoint edges. We prove the existence of a maximal (with respect to inclusion) matching M that contains for any $p\le|M|$ $p$ edges whose total weight is at least ${1\over \sqrt 2}$ of the maximum weight of a p-matching. We use this property to approximate the metric maximum clustering problem with given cluster sizes.

Transitive deficiency-one Baer subgeometry partitions
Authors: V. Jha, N. L. Johnson
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

The translation planes of order 43 with spread in PG(5, 4) arising from Baer subgeometry partitions of PG(2, 16) found by Mathon and Hamilton are characterized within all Baer subgeometry partitions admitting groups fixing one Baer subgeometry and acting transitively on the remaining Baer subgeometries. When q is even, we show that a Baer subgeometry partition of PG(2, q2) with a group fixing one and transitive on the remaining PG(2, q)'s forces the partition to be classical or q = 4 and the partition is one of the partitions of Mathon and Hamilton. When q is odd, we give a complete characterization of these Baer subgeometry partitions. Further, generalizations are given for similar Baer subgeometry partitions of PG(2m, q2).

Lyapunov Characterizations of Input to Output Stability
Authors: Eduardo Sontag, Yuan Wang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

This paper presents necessary and sufficient characterizations of several notions of input to output stability. Similar Lyapunov characterizations have been found to play a key role in the analysis of the input to state stability property, and the results given here extend their validity to the case when the output, but not necessarily the entire internal state, is being regulated.

Symbolic photograph content-based retrieval
Authors: Philippe Mulhem, Joo Hwee Lim
Venue: Proceedings of the eleventh international conference on Information and knowledge management (2002)

Photograph retrieval systems face the difficulty to deal with the different ways to apprehend the content of images. We consider and demonstrate here the use of multiple index representations of photographs to achieve effective retrieval. The use of multiple indexes allows integration of the complementary strengths of different indexing and retrieval models. The proposed representation supports multiple labels for regions and attributes, and handles inferences and relationships. We define links between indexing levels and the related query modes. The experiment conducted on 2400 home photographs shows the behavior of the multiple indexing levels during retrieval.

A preactivating mechanism for a VT-CMOS cache using address prediction
Authors: Ryo Fujioka, Kiyokazu Katayama, Ryotaro Kobayashi, Hideki Ando, Toshio Shimada
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

It has become an important requirement to achieve high performance and low-power consumption at the same time. The dynamic leakage cut-off (DLC) scheme, which controls transistors' threshold voltage by the line on demand, is a technique that potentially satisfies that requirement for a cache. Yet, conventional DLC causes access time to significantly lengthen, and consequently processor performance is unacceptably degraded. This paper proposes a mechanism that suppresses the performance degradation by preactivating cache lines using address prediction before access requests. Our evaluation results show significant performance improvements are achieved with little increase of power consumption.

Evolutionary Trees Can be Learned in Polynomial Time in the Two-State General Markov Model
Authors: Mary Cryan, Leslie Ann Goldberg, Paul W. Goldberg
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

The j-state general Markov model of evolution (due to Steel) is a stochastic model concerned with the evolution of strings over an alphabet of size j. In particular, the two-state general Markov model of evolution generalizes the well-known Cavender--Farris--Neyman model of evolution by removing the symmetry restriction (which requires that the probability that a "0" turns into a "1" along an edge is the same as the probability that a "1" turns into a "0" along the edge). Farach and Kannan showed how to probably approximately correct (PAC)-learn Markov evolutionary trees in the Cavender--Farris--Neyman model provided that the target tree satisfies the additional restriction that all pairs of leaves have a sufficiently high probability of being the same. We show how to remove both restrictions and thereby obtain the first polynomial-time PAC-learning algorithm (in the sense of Kearns et al. [Proceedings of the 26th Annual ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing, 1994, pp. 273--282]) for the general class of two-state Markov evolutionary trees.

Supporting Public Availability and Accessibility with Elvin: Experiences and Reflections
Authors: Geraldine Fitzpatrick, Simon Kaplan, Tim Mansfield, Arnold David, Bill Segall
Venue: Computer Supported Cooperative Work (2002)

We provide a retrospective account of how a generic event notification service called Elvin and a suite of simple client applications: CoffeeBiff, Tickertape and Tickerchat, came to be used within our organisation to support awareness and interaction. After overviewing Elvin and its clients, we outline various experiences from data collated across two studies where Elvin and its clients have been used to augment the workaday world to support interaction, to make digital actions visible, to make physical actions available beyond the location of action, and to support content and socially based information filtering. We suggest there are both functional and technical reasons for why Elvin works for enabling awareness and interaction. Functionally, it provides a way to produce, gather and redistribute information from everyday activities (via Elvin) and to give that information a perceptible form (via the various clients) that can be publicly available and accessible as a resource for awareness. The integration of lightweight chat facilities with these information sources enables awareness to easily flow into interaction, starting to re-connect bodies to actions, and starting to approximate the easy flow of interaction that happens when we are co-located. Technically, the conceptual simplicity of the Elvin notification, the wide availability of its APIs, and the generic functionality of its clients, especially Tickertape, have made the use of the service appealing to developers and users for a wide range of uses.

A Fundamental Relationship between Bilateral Filtering, Adaptive Smoothing, and the Nonlinear Diffusion Equation
Authors: Danny Barash
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (2002)

In this paper, the relationship between bilateral filtering and anisotropic diffusion is examined. The bilateral filtering approach represents a large class of nonlinear digital image filters. We first explore the connection between anisotropic diffusion and adaptive smoothing, and then the connection between adaptive smoothing and bilateral filtering. Previously, adaptive smoothing was considered an inconsistent approximation to the nonlinear diffusion equation. We extend adaptive smoothing to make it consistent, thus enabling a unified viewpoint that relates between nonlinear digital image filters and the nonlinear diffusion equation.
Stability of Structured Hamiltonian Eigensolvers
Authors: Françoise Tisseur
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Various applications give rise to eigenvalue problems for which the matrices are Hamiltonian or skew-Hamiltonian and also symmetric or skew-symmetric. We define structured backward errors that are useful for testing the stability of numerical methods for the solution of these four classes of structured eigenproblems. We introduce the symplectic quasi-QR factorization and show that for three of the classes it enables the structured backward error to be efficiently computed. We also give a detailed rounding error analysis of some recently developed Jacobi-like algorithms of Fassbender, Mackey, and Mackey [Linear Algebra Appl., to appear] for these eigenproblems. Based on the direct solution of 4 &times; 4, and in one case 8 &times; 8, structured subproblems these algorithms produce a complete basis of symplectic orthogonal eigenvectors for the two symmetric cases and a symplectic orthogonal basis for all the real invariant subspaces for the two skew-symmetric cases. We prove that, when the rotations are implemented using suitable formulae, the algorithms are strongly backward stable and we show that the QR algorithm does not have this desirable property.

Homomorphic factorization of BRDF-based lighting computation
Authors: Lutz Latta, Andreas Kolb
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (2002)

Several techniques have been developed to approximate Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDF) with acceptable quality and performance for realtime applications. The recently published Homomorphic Factorization by McCool et al. is a general approximation approach that can be used with various setups and for different quality requirements.In this paper we propose a new technique based on the Homomorphic Factorization. Instead of approximating the BRDF, our technique factorizes the full lighting computation of an isotropic BRDF in a global illumination scenario. With this method materials in complex lighting situations can be simulated with only two textures by using commonly available computation capabilities of current graphics hardware.The new technique can also be considered as a generalized approach to several environment map prefiltering techniques. Existing prefiltering techniques are usually limited to specific BRDFs or require advanced hardware capabilities like 3D texturing. With the factorization only common 2D textures are required.
