The one-dimensional nearest-neighbor totally asymmetric simple exclusion process can be constructed in the same space as a lastpassage percolation model in Z 2. We show that the trajectory of a second class particle in the exclusion process can be linearly mapped into the competition interface

Weare sometimes led to believe that relations between the academic community and the outside commu-nity-as well as between the young and the older generations-have de-teriorated so that communication is no longer possible. In my opinion this was not true with lawyers, the Law School, and law students in the year 1970. The past year brought increasing interest of the alumni in the Law School, and the growing support that accompanies it. There is, in fact, a new receptivity on all sides which stimulates communica-tion to the benefit of all groups.

Abstract. We provide a framework for the analysis of a large class of discontinuous methods for second-order elliptic problems. It allows for the understanding and comparison of most of the discontinuous Galerkin methods that have been proposed over the past three decades for the numerical

We list the so-called Askey-scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and we give a q-analogue of this scheme containing basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. In chapter 1 we give the definition, the orthogonality relation, the three term recurrence relation, the second order

We have used information-theoretic ideas to derive a class of practical and nearly optimal schemes for adapting the size of a neural network. By removing unimportant weights from a network, several improvements can be expected: better generalization, fewer training examples required, and improved

, and four such categories appear to be sufficient to produce both an optimum, or near-optimum fit by the model to the data, and also an acceptable approximation to the continuous dis- tribution. The second method, called "fixed-rates mod- el," classifies sites into several classes according

In this paper we address the problem of minimizing a large class of energy functions that occur in early vision. The major restriction is that the energy function’s smoothness term must only involve pairs of pixels. We propose two algorithms that use graph cuts to compute a local minimum even when

We examine what is required for the structure of elementary particles by the second class nucleonic currents which was recently discovered by Sugimoto et al. The experiment strongly suggests that the quark has a radius of a few tenth of fermi and the partons are constituents of quarks. We discuss
