The ∆I = 1 "staggering" effect is investigated in the energy spectrum of positive and negative parities yrast band even-even actinide nuclei. described by formula proportional to discrete approximation fourth-order derivative function ∆E(I). It shown that characterized "zigzag" behavior does not vanish within observed range angular momenta.

We show that all consistent learning methods—i.e., that asymptotically achieve the lowest possible expected loss for any distribution on (X,Y )—are necessarily localizable, by which we mean that they do not significantly change their response at a particular point when we show them only the part of the training set that is close to that point. This is true in particular for methods that appear ...

We study the classic cake cutting problem from a mechanism design perspective, in particular focusing on deterministic mechanisms that are strategyproof and fair. We begin by looking at mechanisms that are non-wasteful and primarily show that for even the restricted class of piecewise constant valuations there exists no direct-revelation mechanism that is strategyproof and even approximately pr...

Let C be a binary extremal self-dual doubly-even code of length n ≥ 48. If such a code has an automorphism σ of prime order p ≥ 5 then the number of fixed points in the permutation action on the coordinates is bounded by the number of p-cycles. It turns out that large primes p, i.e. n − p small, occur extremely rarely in Aut(C). Examples are the extended quadratic residue codes. We prove that d...

This paper presents sorting network based architectures for computing non-recursive and recursive median lters. The proposed architectures are highly pipelined, and consist of fewer compare-swap units than existing architectures. The reduction in the number of compare-swap units is achieved by minimizing computational overlap between successive outputs, and also by using Batcher's odd-even merg...

We consider Poisson regression with the canonical link function. This regression model is widely used in regression analysis involving count data; one important application in electrical engineering is transmission tomography. In this paper, we establish the variable selection consistency and estimation consistency of the `1-regularized maximum-likelihood estimator in this regression model, and...
