Softening Discrete Relaxation

چکیده
This paper describes a new framework for relational graph matching. The starting point is a recently reported Bayesian consistency measure which gauges structural differences using Hamming distance. The main contributions of the work are threefold. Firstly, we demonstrate how the discrete components of the cost function can be softened. The second contribution is to show how the softened cost function can be used to locate matches using continuous non-linear optimisation. Finally, we show how the resulting graph matching algorithm relates to the standard quadratic assignment problem.

Rate Dependent Constitutive Equations of Cyclic Softening
Constitutive equations of cyclic strain and stress softening for materials with low internal stress levels are derived from the rate theory. The study shows that over the high stress and low temperature range where the description of plastic flow in cyclic softening can be approximated with activation over a single energy barrier, cyclic strain softening is well related to stress relaxation pro...
متن کاملTwo-body relaxation in softened potentials
Semi-analytical calculations for the two-body relaxation in softened potentials are presented and compared with N-body simulations. With respect to a Keplerian potential the increase of the relaxation time in the modified potentials is generally less than one order of magnitude, typically between 2 and 5, if the softening length is of the order of the mean interparticle distance. A comparison b...
متن کاملRelaxation times calculated from angular deflections
In this paper we measure the two-body relaxation time from the angular deflection of test particles launched in a rigid configuration of field particles. We find that centrally concentrated configurations have relaxation times that can be shorter than those of the corresponding homogeneous distributions by an order of magnitude or more. For homogeneous distributions we confirm that the relaxati...
متن کاملDynamics of tilted hexatic phases in liquid-crystal films
We develop a theory for the dynamics of tilted hexatic phases in liquid-crystal films. A renormalization-group analysis gives exponents for the softening of the optical-mode relaxation rate near the hexatic-to-hexatic transitions. These exponents may be observable in experiments on therrnotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals.
