Shape as well as force is required to represent the cloth in virtual environment. A model, based on the cost functions, realizes the shape together with force by using physical data obtained from Kawabata Evaluation System. However, cost/ energy minimization technique is very slow that restricts the increase of mesh density. Some of previous work has employed the adaptive refinement in this reg...

Coarsening is one of the crucial components of an algebraic multigrid (AMG) method for iteratively solving sparse linear systems arising from scientific and engineering applications. It largely determines the complexity of the AMG iteration operator. Usually, high operator complexities lead to fast converge of the AMG method, however, they require additional memory and as such do not scale as w...

A surface is often approximated by a network of triangular facets. In the absence of a precise mathematical description of the underlying surface all information about surface properties such as smoothness and curvature must be inferred from the triangulation itself. Enrichment and coarsening of the surface geometry, for example, can only be carried out if singular features, where C continity i...

We consider the coarsening properties of a kinetic Ising model with a memory field. The probability of a spin-flip depends on the persistence time of the spin in a state. The more a spin has been in a given state, the less the spin-flip probability is. We numerically studied the growth and persistence properties of such a system on a two dimensional square lattice. The memory introduces energy ...

The grain size composition of topsoil characterizes the soil texture and other physical properties. The coarsening of topsoil grain size is a visible symbol of land degradation; thereby the change in topsoil grain size can be potentially used to monitor desertification using remote sensing. This study proposes a new index for detecting topsoil grain size composition through ground in situ soil ...

In this work we investigate by means of atomic force microscopy in combination with selective wet etching experiments coalescence and coarsening effects on the morphology evolution of Si-rich SiGe quantum dots and islands grown epitaxially at high temperatures on Si(001) substrates. We demonstrate that under certain growth conditions remarkably uniform island size distributions can be achieved ...

The consensus operator is used for cumulative belief fusion in subjective logic, and takes beliefs on binary frames of discernment as input. Coarsening to a binary state space is therefore needed in case the original frame is larger than binary. Coarsening causes information loss in general, and can lead to inconsistent results when applying the consensus operator. We presents a method for norm...

This paper presents a numerical entropy production (NEP) scheme for two-dimensional shallow water equations on unstructured triangular grids. We implement NEP as the error indicator for adaptive mesh refinement or coarsening in solving the shallow water equations using a finite volumemethod. Numerical simulations show thatNEP is successful to be a refinement/coarsening indicator in the adaptive...
