The quantum incrementer is one of the simplest quantum operators, which exhibits basic arithmetic operations such as addition, the propagation of carry qubits and the resetting of carry qubits. In this paper, three quantum incrementer gate circuit topologies are derived and compared based upon their total number of gates, the complexity of the circuits, the types of gates used and the number of...

Assuming dark matter particles can be pair-produced at the LHC from cascade decays of heavy particles, we investigate strategies to identify the event topologies based on the kinematic information of final state visible particles. This should be the first step towards measuring the masses and spins of the new particles in the decay chains including the dark matter particle. As a concrete exampl...

The rapid growth in the number of large-scale repositories has brought the need for efficient and effective content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. The state of the art in the CBIR systems is to search images in database that are “close” to the query image using some similarity measure. The current CBIR systems capture image features that represent properties such as color, texture, and/o...

Creating software-controlled agents in videogames who can learn and adapt to player behavior is a difficult task. Using the real-time NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (rtNEAT) method for evolving increasingly complex artificial neural networks in real-time has been shown to be an effective way of achieving behaviors beyond simple scripted character behavior. In NERO, a videogame built to...

This paper contributes to the expanding literature on soft topology. We first prove that topologies can be characterized by crisp topologies. takes advantage of two connected constructions produce from and vice versa. Both are explicit amenable mathematical manipulations. Various consequences demonstrate our theory has far-reaching implications for development topology its extensions.
