Symbolic Manipulation and Biomedical Images

Discrete Morse theory is an e cient method which allows one to study the topology of discrete objects. The instrumental tool in the algebraic setting of this theory is the notion of admissible discrete vector eld. In this paper, we present a formally veri ed implementation of an algorithm in charge of building an admissible discrete vector eld from a digital image. Such a program will play a ke...

Capitalism in Question

Paul Adler was Program Chair for the 2013 meeting of the Academy of Management in Orlando, Florida, in August. In this capacity, he organized the “All-Academy Theme” component of the meeting program, helped by a committee of Tom Kochan (MIT), Jerry Davis (U. Michigan), Carrie Leana (U. Pittsburgh), and Stella Nkomo (U. Pretoria). The theme was “Capitalism in Question.” The essay below is an edi...

Toward a Symbolic Representation of Intensity Changes in Images

The problem of symbolic representation of gray value variations is studied, especially with respect to the gradient of the image function. The goal is to relate the results of this analysis to the structure of the picture, which is determined by the physics of the image generat ion process. The operators for the detection of gray value transitions are the first derivatives of two-dimensional Ga...
