SeDuMi is an add-on for MATLAB, that lets you solve optimization problems with linear, quadratic and semidefiniteness constraints. It is possible to have complex valued data and variables in SeDuMi. Moreover, large scale optimization problems are solved efficiently, by exploiting sparsity. This paper describes how to work with this toolbox.

the search space of RotS functions much reduced and we successfully analyzed important cryptographic properties of such functions by ex-ecuting computer programs. We study RotS bent functions up to 10 variables and observe (experimentally) that there is no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent function having

This paper will introduce the homogeneous coordinate ring S of a toric variety X. The ring S is a polynomial ring with one variable for each one-dimensional cone in the fan ∆ determining X, and S has a natural grading determined by the monoid of effective divisor classes in the Chow group An−1(X

Following an idea of G. Nguetseng, the author defines a notion of "two-scale" convergence, which is aimed at a better description of sequences of oscillating functions. Bounded sequences in L2(f) are proven to be relatively compact with respect to this new type of convergence. A corrector

experiment. Electrophysiologists have described neurons in striate cortex that are selectively sensitive to certain visual properties; for reviews, see Hubel (1988) and DeValois and DeValois (1988). Psychophysicists have inferred the existence of channels that are tuned for certain visual properties; for reviews, see Graham (1989), Olzak and Thomas (1986), Pokorny and Smith (1986), and Watson (1986). Researchers in perception have found aspects of visual stimuli that are processed pre-attentively (Beck, 1966; Bergen & Julesz, 1983; Julesz & Bergen, Motion Color Binocular disparity Retinal processing Early vision Memory Higher-level vision Etc... Retina More processing Still more processing Orientation Fig.1.1 A generic diagram for visual processing. In this approach, early vision consists of a set of parallel pathways, each analyzing some particular aspect of the visual stimulus. 1983; Treisman, 1986; Treisman & Gelade, 1980). And in computational

. These exact results are to be preferred to approximate methods based on measurements of a few selected points. The unit quaternion representing the best rotation is the eigenvector associated with the most positive eigenvalue of a symmetric 4 X 4 matrix. The elements of this matrix are combinations of sums

This individual differences study examined the separability of three often postu-lated executive functions—mental set shifting (‘‘Shifting’’), information updating and monitoring (‘‘Updating’’), and inhibition of prepotent responses (‘‘Inhibi-tion’’)—and their roles in complex ‘‘frontal lobe

Oriented filters are useful in many early vision and image processing tasks. One often needs to apply the same filter, rotated to different angles under adaptive control, or wishes to calculate the filter response at various orientations. We present an efficient architecture to synthesize filters

. The decoding of both codes can be tackled with a practical sum-product algorithm. We prove that these codes are "very good," in that sequences of codes exist which, when optimally decoded, achieve information rates up to the Shannon limit. This result holds not only for the binary-symmetric channel
