چکیده

For the simpler functions (such as and,or), a degree-Θ( √ n) polynomial suffices. For more complicated functions (such as majority), a degree-n polynomial is necessary. Note that in this formalism, any function can be approximated to arbitrary accuracy with a degree-n polynomial. It suffices (i) to form the sum of the 2 polynomials each of which evaluates to 1 on a distinct assignment to the variables and to 0 on all others; and (ii) to weigh these polynomials by the output of the actual function.

Verification of an Evolutionary-based Wavelet Neural Network Model for Nonlinear Function Approximation

Nonlinear function approximation is one of the most important tasks in system analysis and identification. Several models have been presented to achieve an accurate approximation on nonlinear mathematics functions. However, the majority of the models are specific to certain problems and systems. In this paper, an evolutionary-based wavelet neural network model is proposed for structure definiti...

MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION SYSTEM FOR SUBJECT INDEPENDENT SIGN LANGUAGE RECOGNITION USING FUZZY HIDDEN MARKOV MODEL

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...

The modified BFGS method with new secant relation ‎for unconstrained optimization problems‎

Using Taylor's series we propose a modified secant relation to get a more accurate approximation of the second curvature of the objective function. Then, based on this modified secant relation we present a new BFGS method for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method make use of both gradient and function values while the usual secant relation uses only gradient values. U...

بررسی ابتدا به ساکن ویژگی‌های فیزیکی دو تک‌بلور KTP و RTP

In this work,the physical properties of  KTP and RTP single-crystals have been investigated by performing accurate total energy calculations in the framework of density functional theory by using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The effects of Rb substitution on structural, electronic and optical properties of KTP are discussed. The structural properties have been calc...

Constrained Interpolation via Cubic Hermite Splines

Introduction In industrial designing and manufacturing, it is often required to generate a smooth function approximating a given set of data which preserves certain shape properties of the data such as positivity, monotonicity, or convexity, that is, a smooth shape preserving approximation.  It is assumed here that the data is sufficiently accurate to warrant interpolation, rather than least ...

A more accurate half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with the best possible constant factor related to the extended Riemann-Zeta function

By the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis and Hermite-Hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality related to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possible constant factor expressed in terms of the extended Riemann-zeta function is proved. The more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm, the rever...
