An Appropriate Subdifferential for Quasiconvex Functions
Authors: Aris Daniilidis, Nicolas Hadjisavvas, Juan-Enrique Martinez-Legaz
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

In this paper we introduce and study a subdifferential that is related to the quasi- convex functions, much as the Fenchel--Moreau subdifferential is related to the convex ones. It is defined for any lower semicontinuous function, through an appropriate combination of an abstract subdifferential and the normal cone to sublevel sets. We show that this "quasiconvex" subdifferential is always a cyclically quasimonotone operator that coincides with the Fenchel--Moreau subdifferential whenever the function is convex, and that under mild assumptions, the density of its domain in the domain of the function is equivalent to the quasiconvexity of the function. We also show that the "quasiconvex" subdifferential of a lower semicontinuous function contains the derivatives of its differentiable quasiaffine supports. As a consequence, it contains the subdifferential introduced by Martinez-Legaz and Sach in a recent paper [J. Convex Anal., 6 (1999), pp. 1--12]. Several other properties and calculus rules are also established.

Implementation of Trefftz method for the solution of some elliptic boundary value problems
Authors: M. S. Abou-Dina
Venue: Applied Mathematics and Computation (2002)

The purpose of this paper is to implement the well-known Trefftz method for the approximate solution of some elliptic boundary value problems for the two-dimensional Laplace's and the biharmonic operators through the use of polar harmonics as trial functions. Four applications treating four different situations are presented: the Dirichlet problem for the steady-state temperature distribution in an infinite elliptic cylinder (giving rise to Poisson's or Laplace's equations) with discontinuous boundary function for the complete and the truncated ellipses (cases 1, 2) and the first and the second fundamental problems of the plane strain theory of elastostatics for an infinite cylinder with rectangular normal cross-section (cases 3, 4). For two of the examples (cases 1, 3), the results could be checked against known exact solutions to show, in particular, that the method can sometimes give the exact solution, while for the other two (cases 2, 4) the method has provided solutions for new problems. It is shown that the use of polar harmonics, possibly together with other harmonics belonging to different coordinate systems, can handle many situations in an efficient way, i.e., by using few trial functions.

Differential Stability of Two-Stage Stochastic Programs
Authors: Darinka Dentcheva, Werner Römisch
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

Two-stage stochastic programs with random right-hand side are considered. Optimal values and solution sets are regarded as mappings of the expected recourse functions and their perturbations, respectively. Conditions are identified implying that these mappings are directionally differentiable and semidifferentiable on appropriate functional spaces. Explicit formulas for the derivatives are derived. Special attention is paid to the role of a Lipschitz condition for solution sets as well as of a quadratic growth condition of the objective function.

Developing a detailed 3D conceptual spatial data model and incorporating it for visualization, is a promising method of Spatial Data Exploration for a variety of applications especially in the display, analysis and interpretation of useful and timely meteorological and geographical information. Spatial Data Exploration is quite complex due to the following factors:i) the spatial nature of data that is being processedii) time-variant nature of data.In this paper we present a new system that can use VR techniques for spatial data exploration. We also present the implementation and some results that validate our architecture.
Hardware-based view-independent cell projection
Authors: Manfred Weiler, Martin Kraus, Thomas Ertl
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE symposium on Volume visualization and graphics (2002)

We present the first, view-independent cell projection algorithm for off-the-shelf programmable graphics hardware. Our implementation performs all computations for the projection and scan conversion of a set of tetrahedra on the graphics hardware and is therefore compatible with many of the hardware-accelerated optimizations for polygonal graphics, e.g. OpenGL vertex arrays and display lists. Apart from our actual implementation, we discuss potential improvements on future, more flexible graphics hardware and applications to interactive volume visualization of unstructured meshes.

Fast primitive distribution for illustration
Authors: Adrian Secord, Wolfgang Heidrich, Lisa Streit
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Eurographics workshop on Rendering (2002)

In this paper we present a high-quality, image-space approach to illustration that preserves continuous tone by probabilistically distributing primitives while maintaining interactive rates. Our method allows for frame-to-frame coherence by matching movements of primitives with changes in the input image. It can be used to create a variety of drawing styles by varying the primitive type or direction. We show that our approach is able to both preserve tone and (depending on the drawing style) high-frequency detail. Finally, while our algorithm requires only an image as input, additional 3D information enables the creation of a larger variety of drawing styles.

A distributed industrial application for quality control of clinched boards based on computer vision
Authors: Ivan Bruno, Andrea Giotti, Massimo Monsignori, Paolo Nesi
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

In the last years, a system for joining metal sheets by using a cold press joining technique has been invented and called clinching. This technique has been adopted in the production of metal boards for civil construction. The quality of joint points is a critical aspect and the current approach for quality control is based on the capabilities of an expert to understand the nature of the defect by observing the shape of each clinched button. VISICON IST Research and Development project proposes a solution for realizing a distributed quality control system for the production of clinched metal boards. The solution integrates aspects of software engineering, process modeling, knowledge representation and computer vision.
Exclusion and Inclusion Regions for the Eigenvalues of a Normal Matrix
Authors: Marko Huhtanen, Rasmus Munk Larsen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Assume $N\in {\mathbb C}^{n \times n}$ is a square matrix with the characteristic polynomial p(z)=f(x,y)+ig(x,y). Viewing the spectrum $\sigma(N)$ of $N$ as an algebraic subvariety of ${\mathbb R}^2$, by Bézout's theorem, the degrees of f and g seem to be unnecessarily high for locating $\sigma(N)$. Starting from this observation, we employ real analytic techniques to find the spectrum of a normal matrix N. At most 1-dimensional information is obtained with polyanalytic polynomials of degree not exceeding $\sqrt{2n}$. This is achieved by performing only matrix-vector products with an algorithm relying on a recurrence with a very slowly growing length. For large problems three practical alternatives are proposed via computing Ritz values, eigenvalue exclusion, and eigenvalue inclusion regions.

Towards a primitive higher order calculus of broadcasting systems
Authors: Karol Ostrovsky, K. V. S. Prasad, Walid Taha
Venue: Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Principles and practice of declarative programming (2002)

Ethernet-style broadcast is pervasive style of computer communication.In this style,the medium is single nameless channel.Previous work on modelling such systems proposed .rst order process calculus called CBS.In this paper, we propose fundamentally different calculus called HOBS.Compared to CBS, HOBS 1) is higher order rather than first order, 2) supports dynamic subsystem encapsulation rather than static,and 3) does not require an "underlying language" to be Turing-complete. Moving to higher order calculus is key to increasing the expressivity of the primitive calculus and alleviating the need for an underlying language. The move, however, raises the need for significantly more machinery to establish the basic properties of the new calculus.This paper develops the basic theory for HOBS and presents two example programs that illustrate programming in this language. The key technical underpinning is an adaptation of Howe's method to HOBS to prove that bisimulation is congruence. From this result, HOBS is shown to embed the lazy λ-calculus.
