Numerical Schemes for Variational Inequalities Arising in International Asset Pricing
Authors: James E. Hodder, Agnès Tourin, Thaleia Zariphopoulou
Venue: Computational Economics (2001)

This paper introduces a valuation model of international pricing in the presence of political risk. Shipments between countries are charged with shipping costs and the country specific production processes are modelled as diffusion processes. The political risk is modelled as a continous time jump process that affects the drift of the returns in the politically unstable countries. The valuation model gives rise to a singular stochastic control problem that is analyzed numerically. The fundamental tools come from the theory of viscosity solutions of the associated Hamilton&ndash;Jacobi&ndash;Bellman equation which turns out to be a system of integral-differential Variational Inequalities with gradient constraints.

The Maximum Edge-Disjoint Paths Problem in Bidirected Trees
Authors: Thomas Erlebach, Klaus Jansen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

A bidirected tree is the directed graph obtained from an undirected tree by replacing each undirected edge by two directed edges with opposite directions. Given a set of directed paths in a bidirected tree, the goal of the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem is to select a maximum-cardinality subset of the paths such that the selected paths are edge-disjoint. This problem can be solved optimally in polynomial time for bidirected trees of constant degree but is APX-hard for bidirected trees of arbitrary degree. For every fixed $\varepsilon >0$, a polynomial-time $(5/3+\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm is presented.

Model complexity control and statisticallearning theory
Authors: Vladimir Cherkassky
Venue: Natural Computing: an international journal (2002)

We discuss the problem of model complexity control also known as model selection. This problem frequently arises in the context of predictive learning and adaptive estimation of dependencies from finite data. First we review the problem of predictive learning as it relates to model complexity control. Then we discuss several issues important for practical implementation of complexity control, using the framework provided by Statistical Learning Theory (or Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory). Finally, we show practical applications of Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) generalization bounds for model complexity control. Empirical comparisons of different methods for complexity control suggest practical advantages of using VC-based model selection in settings where VC generalization bounds can be rigorously applied. We also argue that VC-theory provides methodological framework for complexity control even when its technical results can not be directly applied.

The Use of Punched Cards in US Libraries and Documentation Centers, 1936-1965
Authors: Robert V. Williams
Venue: IEEE Annals of the History of Computing (2002)

Librarians, particularly those in traditional academic and public libraries, were slow to take advantage of punched cards. In contrast, special librarians and documentalists, with their small systems and focus on retrieving information for users, readily adopted punched cards. The results were dramatic: improved ability to index scientific and technical information and better user service.

A placement examination for computer science II
Authors: Nancy E. Miller, Donna S. Reese
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

Students enrolling in Computer Science II at Mississippi State University (MSU) have widely varying backgrounds. Some have taken the prerequisite course at MSU, some have transferred from community colleges offering the prerequisite, and some are new graduate students with undergraduate deficiencies. Proper placement of students in the introductory courses is necessary to give those students with little background in object-oriented software development an opportunity for success, while challenging students who may have had substantial programming experience elsewhere. The Department has developed and tested a placement examination. The examination helps students decide if they should enroll in an introductory course that assumes some previous programming experience without object-oriented software development, or if they should begin in Computer Science II that assumes knowledge of C++ with object-oriented design. The score on the placement exam demonstrated predictive power when trying to distinguish, coarsely, between those students who will probably pass the Computer Science II course and those students who are at risk of failing the course.

Runge-Kutta methods for numerical solution of stochastic differential equations
Authors: A. Tocino, R. Ardanuy
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

The way to obtain deterministic Runge-Kutta methods from Taylor approximations is generalized for stochastic differential equations, now by means of stochastic truncated expansions about a point for sufficiently smooth functions of an Itô process. A class of explicit Runge-Kutta schemes of second order in the weak sense for systems of stochastic differential equations with multiplicative noise is developed. Also two Runge-Kutta schemes of third order have been obtained for scalar equations with constant diffusion coefficients. Numerical examples that compare the proposed schemes to standard ones are presented.

A Domain Decomposition Method for Advection-Diffusion Processes with Application to Blood Solutes
Authors: Alfio Quarteroni, Alessandro Veneziani, Paolo Zunino
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In the present paper we consider a heterogeneous model for the dynamics of a blood solute both in the vascular lumen and inside the arterial wall. In the lumen, we consider an advection-diffusion equation, where the convective field is provided by the velocity of blood, which is in turn obtained by solving the Navier--Stokes equations. Inside the arterial wall we consider a pure diffusive dynamics. Since the endothelial layer at the interface between the lumen and the wall acts as a permeable membrane, whose permeability depends on the shear rate exerted by the blood, the solute concentration is discontinuous across this membrane. A possible approach for the numerical study of this kind of problem is inspired by domain decomposition techniques. In particular, we introduce a splitting in the computation and alternate the solution of the advection-diffusion equation in the lumen with that of the diffusion equation in the wall. We set up an efficient iterative method, based on a suitable reformulation of the problem in terms of a Steklov--Poincaré interface equation. This formulation is a nonstandard one because of the concentration discontinuity at the lumen-wall interface and plays a key role in the proof of convergence of our method. In particular, we prove that the convergence rate performed by the proposed method is independent of the finite element space discretization and provides a criterion for the selection of an acceleration parameter.Several numerical results, referred to as biomedical applications, support our theoretical conclusions and illustrate the efficiency of this algorithm.

Internal vs. external information in visual perception
Authors: Ronald A. Rensink
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

One of the more compelling beliefs about vision is that it is based on representations that are coherent and complete, with everything in the visual field described in great detail. However, changes made during a visual disturbance are found to be difficult to see, arguing against the idea that our brains contain a detailed, picture-like representation of the scene. Instead, it is argued here that a more dynamic, just-in-time representation is involved, one with deep similarities to the way that users interact with external displays. It is further argued that these similarities can provide a basis for the design of intelligent display systems that can interact with humans in highly effective and novel ways.

Flow Control in ServerNet&reg; Clusters
Authors: Vladimir Shurbanov, Dimiter Avresky, Pankaj Mehra, W. Watson
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2002)

This paper investigates the performance implications of several end-to-end flow control protocols in clusters based on the ServerNet&reg; system-area network. The Static Window (SW) and Packet Pair (PP) flow control protocols are studied. Based on them, the Simplified Packet Pair (SPP) and the Alternating Static Window (ASW) protocols are defined. Previously, it has been proven that PP is stable for store-and-forward networks based on Rate Allocation Servers. The applicability of PP to wormhole-routing networks is studied. Simulation results for the performance characteristics are obtained and evaluated. It is shown that if high throughput is desired, ASW is the best method for controlling the average latency. On the other hand, if low throughput is acceptable, SPP can be applied to maintain low latencies.

A Pyramid Framework for Early Vision: Multiresolutional Computer Vision
Authors: Jean-Michel Jolion, Azriel Rosenfeld
Venue:  (1994)

:Biological visual systems employ massively parallel processing to perform real-world visual tasks in real time. A key to this remarkable performance seems to be that biological systems construct representations of their visual image data at multiple scales. A Pyramid Framework for Early Vision describes a multiscale, or 'pyramid', approach to vision, including its theoretical foundations, a set of pyramid-based modules for image processing, object detection, texture discrimination, contour detection and processing, feature detection and description, and motion detection and tracking. It also shows how these modules can be implemented very efficiently on hypercube-connected processor networks. The volume is intended for both students of vision and vision system designers; it provides a general approach to vision systems design as well as a set of robust, efficient vision modules.
