Single-Holed Regions: Their Relations and Inferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. The discontinuities in boundaries and exteriors that regions with holes expose offer opportunities for inferences that are impossible for regions without holes. A systematic study of the binary relations between single-holed regions shows not only an increase in the number of feasible relations (from eight between two regions without holes to 152 for two single-holed regions), but also identifies the increased reasoning power enabled by the holes. A set of quantitative measures is introduced to compare various composition tables over regions with and without holes. These measures reveal that inferences over relations for holed regions are overall crisper and yield more unique results than relations over regions without holes. Likewise, compositions that involve more holed regions than regions without holes provide crisper inferences, which supports the need for relation models that capture holes explicitly.

Comparing Relations with a Multi-holed Region
Relation models have treated multi-holed regions relations either the same as hole-free regions relations, loosing this way the peculiarities of the holed topology, or with methods dependent on the number of holes. This paper discusses a model of relations between a hole-free and a multi-holed region that departs from past approaches by using the frequencies of the relations in which the holes ...
متن کاملHierarchical Model for the Similarity Measurement of a Complex Holed-Region Entity Scene
Complex multi-holed-region entity scenes (i.e., sets of random region with holes) are common in spatial database systems, spatial query languages, and the Geographic Information System (GIS). A multi-holed-region (region with an arbitrary number of holes) is an abstraction of the real world that primarily represents geographic objects that have more than one interior boundary, such as areas tha...
متن کاملSpatial Reasoning with a Hole
Cavities in spatial phenomena require geometric representations of regions with holes. Existing models for reasoning over topological relations either exclude such specialized regions (9-intersection) or treat them indistinguishably from regions without holes (RCC-8). This paper highlights that inferences over a region with a hole need to be made separately from, and in addition to, the inferen...
متن کاملFormation of Single‐Holed Cobalt/N‐Doped Carbon Hollow Particles with Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity toward Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Alkaline Media
Design and construction of metal-organic framework (MOF) composite precursors have recently been considered as a promising strategy for the preparation of different structured metal/carbon-based functional materials. Here, an MOF composite-assisted strategy to synthesize single-holed cobalt/N-doped carbon hollow particles is reported. The yolk-shell polystyrene@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67...
