An integrated APL2 solution for population screening and control
Authors: Umberto Piasentin, Claudio Sandi
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (2000)

When dealing with preventive medicine involving entire population strata, the wide class of problems encountered requires powerful and highly sophisticated data management support tools. In this paper an example is given of how APL2 offers an ideal solution for such complex situations: data acquisition, preprocessing and filtering; real time connections with local and remote relational date base; use of any type of statistical and optimization model for decision support. Furthermore this efficiency is available using the standard graphics interface of Unix, Warp, Windows 95 or NT environments, whichever the user choice may be.The present application uses APL2/2 and DB2/2, available under OS/2 at a district level and APL2/6000 and DB2/6000 for a central coordination at a regional level. Besides the standard type of text information and data processing, the application is open to any kind of image acquisition and retrieval, as well as any advanced mathematical model on population behavior and dynamics.

It started with Watson and Crick, but it sure didn't end there: Pitfalls and possibilities beyond the classic double helix
Authors: Nadrian C. Seeman
Venue: Natural Computing: an international journal (2002)

The Watson-Crick double helix is perhaps the most predictable and programmable of all intermolecular interactions. In addition to its biological role in the cell, double helical DNA is used for DNA-based computation and for DNA nanotechnology. The success of these applications has been based on the reliability of Watson-Crick base pairing, and, in the latter case, circumventing the linearity of the double helix. We survey some of the alternative base pairing structures that can be found in synthetic systems, indicating motifs that can be propagated and giving examples of mispairing that can occur within the double helical context. We discuss some of the more common covalent modifications of nucleic acids. We also indicate the structural interplay of special sequences and negative supercoiling. In addition to the caveats that we present involving unexpected results in nucleic acid systems, we show that the process of reciprocal exchange and the generalization of complementarity can be used to generate branched DNA motifs for use in DNA nanotechnology or DNA-based computation. We show that these motifs can be used for the directed construction of DNA objects, for the generation of specific designed patterns in two-dimensional lattices, for computation by self-assembly, and for the fabrication of DNA-based nanodevices. The use of non-Watson-Crick DNA leads inherently both to errors and to thrilling possibilities. Successfully juggling these aspects of generalized nucleic acid structure is an exciting challenge to investigators in the area.
A combinatorial problem on Trapezoidal words
Authors: Flavio D'Alessandro
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

In this paper, we investigate some combinatorial properties concerning the family of the so-called Trapezoidal words. Trapezoidal words, considered in de Luca (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 218 (1999) 13-39 are finite words over the two-letter alphabet A={a,b} whose subword complexity has the same behaviour as that of finite Sturmian words. In de Luca (Theoret. Comput. Sci. 218 (1999) 13-39 it has been proved that the family of Finite Sturmian words is properly contained in that one of Trapezoidal words. We carry on with the studying of the family of Trapezoidal words and, in particular, of its relation with that one of finite Sturmian words.

Riesz Basis Approach to the Stabilization of a Flexible Beam with a Tip Mass
Authors: Bao-Zhu Guo
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

Using an abstract condition of Riesz basis generation of discrete operators in the Hilbert spaces, we show, in this paper, that a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions of an Euler--Bernoulli beam equation with a tip mass under boundary linear feedback control forms a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. In the meanwhile, an asymptotic expression of eigenvalues and the exponential stability are readily obtained. The main results of [ SIAM J. Control Optim., 36 (1998), pp. 1962--1986] are concluded as a special case, and the additional conditions imposed there are removed.

Efficient estimation of 3D Euclidean distance fields from 2D range images
Authors: Sarah F. Frisken, Ronald N. Perry
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE symposium on Volume visualization and graphics (2002)

Several existing algorithms for reconstructing 3D models from range data first approximate the object's 3D distance field to provide an implicit representation of the scanned object and then construct a surface model of the object using this distance field. In these existing approaches, computing and storing 3D distance values from range data contribute significantly to the computational and storage requirements. This paper presents an efficient method for estimating the 3D Euclidean distance field from 2D range images that can be used by any of these algorithms. The proposed method uses Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields to minimize the number of distance evaluations and significantly reduce storage requirements of the sampled distance field. The method is fast because much of the computation required to convert the line-of-sight range distances to Euclidean distances can be done during a pre-processing step in the 2D coordinate space of each range image.

User interfaces for browsing and navigation of continuous multimedia data
Authors: Wolfgang Hürst, Patrick Stiegeler
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

Browsing continuous multimedia data is very important, for example, to find a particular information in a very long document or to get a first quick overview of the content of some unknown data. Unfortunately, common interfaces do not always support users in the best possible way for this. In this paper, we present the results of a pilot study we did with some alternative user interfaces for (visual) browsing and navigation of continuous multimedia data. In particular, we focus on fine granular navigation which is critical in case of continuous data.
Modeling and visualizing the cultural heritage data set of Graz
Authors: Christopher Zach, Andreas Klaus, Joachim Bauer, Konrad Karner, Markus Grabner
Venue: Proceedings of the 2001 conference on Virtual reality, archeology, and cultural heritage (2001)

The inner city (Old Town) of Graz will be the European cultural capital in 2003. In this paper we present preliminary results on the reconstruction and visualization of this kind of cultural heritage data. Starting with a simple block model obtained by converting 2 1/2 dimensional GIS (geographic information system) data we focus on the image based modeling of the facades. Herein we illustrate a robust search for corresponding points to estimate the relative orientation between image pairs.Additional, we outline our real-time rendering approach based on a LOD-R-tree concept. Special attention is paid on the LOD (level of detail) generation for historic buildings where two different ways working in 2D and 3D are explained. The visualization system is communicating asynchronously with a database system storing the LOD-R-tree data structure. This client-server configuration provides interactive navigation through the virtual scene and the scalability of a database management system.

Error Bounds for Abstract Linear Inequality Systems
Authors: Kung Fu Ng, Wei Hong Yang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2002)

In this paper we study error bounds of the abstract linear inequality system (A,C,b): $Ax \leqslant b$, where A is a bounded linear operator from a Banach space X to a Banach space Y partially ordered by a closed convex cone C. We also give some general results on the existence of error bounds for a convex function F; we show in particular that F has an error bound if and only if the directional derivative of the distance function (to the solution set S) at each boundary point of S along any nontangential direction is bounded by the derivative of F. As an application, we prove that if C is a polyhedral cone, then the system (A,C,b) has an error bound. When Y is a Hilbert space, our results can be expressed in terms of the angles between Ax-b-P-C(Ax-b) and Im(A), or in terms of the angles between Im(A) and the nonvertex supporting hyperplanes of C. In the case in which $X=\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and C is an "ice-cream" cone, we identify exactly when (A,C,b) has an error bound.

An Improved Laguerre Eigensolver for Unsymmetric Matrices
Authors: Jorgen L. Nikolajsen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

A Laguerre iteration procedure is described for finding the eigenvalues of unsymmetric matrices with improved efficiency. Compared to the QR method, the processing time for dense matrices is reduced by roughly a factor of 1.6 and for sparse matrices by a factor of up to 2.8 without sacrificing accuracy. This is achieved primarily by means of a new procedure for reducing the original matrix to sparse Hessenberg form. Alternatively, the Laguerre procedure will typically provide one additional significant digit, compared to the QR method, when allowed to run for as long as the QR method.

Expression templates and forward mode automatic differentiation
Authors: Pierre Aubert
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

This work deals with an implementation of automatic differentiation of C++ computer programs in forward mode using operator overloading and expression templates. In conjunction with a careful reuse of data, this technique also improves performance of programs involving linear algebra computations mixed or not with automatic differentiation. We give a broad view of implementation and explain some important concepts regarding code optimization. We conclude with some benchmarks applied to our optimal control software.
Orthogonal Matroids
Authors: Andrew Vince, Neil White
Venue: Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Journal (2001)

The notion of matroid has been generalized to Coxeter matroid by Gelfand and Serganova. To each pair i>(W, P) consisting of a finite irreducible Coxeter group i>W and parabolic subgroup i>P is associated a collection of objects called Coxeter matroids. The (ordinary) matroids are the special case where i>W is the symmetric group (the i>An case) and i>P is a maximal parabolic subgroup.This generalization of matroid introduces interesting combinatorial structures corresponding to each of the finite Coxeter groups. Borovik, Gelfand and White began an investigation of the i>Bn case, called symplectic matroids. This paper initiates the study of the i>Dn case, called orthogonal matroids. The main result (Theorem 2) gives three characterizations of orthogonal matroid: algebraic, geometric, and combinatorial. This result relies on a combinatorial description of the Bruhat order on i>Dn (Theorem 1). The representation of orthogonal matroids by way of totally isotropic subspaces of a classical orthogonal space (Theorem 5) justifies the terminology i>orthogonal matroid.
