As a nonlocal extension of continuum mechanics, peridynamics has been widely and effectively applied in different fields where discontinuities the field variables arise from an initially continuous body. An important component constitutive model is influence function which weights contribution all interactions over region surrounding point interest. Recent work shown that solid mechanics strong...

Complete row and column symmetry breaking in constraint models using the lex leader method is generally prohibitively costly. Double lex, which is derived from lex leader, is commonly used in practice as an incomplete symmetrybreaking method for row and column symmetries. Double lex is based on a rowwise canonical variable ordering. However, this choice is arbitrary. We investigate other canoni...

multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. in this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. we have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. in the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (svm) person-specific classifie...
