چکیده
Many applications require to extract the surface of an object from a discrete set of valued points, applications in which the topological soundness of the obtained surface is, in many case, of the utmost importance. In this paper, we introduce the notion of frontier order which provides a discrete framework for defining frontiers of arbitrary objects. A major result we obtained is a theorem which guarantees the topological soundness of such frontiers in any dimension. Furthermore, we show how frontier orders can be used to design topologically coherent “Marching Cubes-like” algorithms.

A Solution to Aggregation and an Application to Multidimensional ‘well-being‘ Frontiers
We propose a new technique for identification and estimation of aggregation functions in multidimensional evaluations and multiple indicator settings. These functions may represent “latent” objects. They occur in many different contexts, for instance in propensity scores, multivariate measures of well-being and the related analysis of inequality and poverty, and in equivalence scales. Technical...
متن کاملDiscrete, qualitative models of interaction networks.
Logical models for cellular signaling networks are recently attracting wide interest: Their ability to integrate qualitative information at different biological levels, from receptor-ligand interactions to gene-regulatory networks, is becoming essential for understanding complex signaling behavior. We present an overview of Boolean modeling paradigms and discuss in detail an approach based on c...
متن کاملEstimating Most Productive Scale Size with Double Frontiers in Data Envelopment Analysis using Negative Data
In this paper, it is assumed that the “Decision Making Units“( ) are consist of positive and negative input and output. Firstly, the optimistic and pessimistic models have been suggested by using negative data and then units with most productive scale size are measured in optimistic and pessimistic models. These productive values are compared with double frontiers and Hurwicz’s Criterion to obt...
متن کاملDifferential Characteristics of Efficient Frontiers in DEA with Weight Restrictions
The non-differentiability and implicit definition of boundary of production possibility set (PPS) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) are two important difficulties for obtaining directional characteristics, including different elasticity measures and marginal rates of substitution. Also, imposing weight restrictions in DEA models have some shortcomings and misunderstandings. In this paper we ut...
