This research work presents a supervised classification framework for hyperspectral data that takes into account both spectral and spatial information. Texture analysis is performed to model spatial characteristics that provides additional information, which is used along with rich spectral measurements for better classification of hyperspectral imagery. The moment invariants of an image can de...

A new method for doing text-independent speaker identification geared to forensic situations is presented. By analysing ‘isolexemic’ sequences, the method addresses the issues of very short criminal exemplars and the need for open-set identification. An algorithm is given that computes an average spectral shape of the speech to be analysed for each glottal pulse period. Each such spectrum is co...

To leading order in α s , the leading and non-leading 1/m b corrections to the excited B * * meson coupling g B * * Bπ is calculated in the framework of QCD spectral moment sum rules in the full theory. Our prediction is in good agreement with the light − cone QCD sum rule result.

We introduce a generalized isospectral problem for global conservative multi-peakon solutions of the Camassa–Holm equation. Utilizing the solution of the indefinite moment problem given by M. G. Krein and H. Langer, we show that the conservative Camassa–Holm equation is integrable by the inverse spectral transform in the multi-peakon case.

This paper introduces a version of empirical likelihood based on the periodogram and spectral estimating equations. This formulation handles dependent data through a data transformation (i.e., Fourier transform) and is developed in terms of the spectral distribution rather than a time domain probability distribution. The asymptotic properties of frequency domain empirical likelihood are studied...

We present a numerical method to solve the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) system using the NRxx method proposed in [4, 7, 9]. A globally hyperbolic moment system similar to that in [23] is derived. In this system, the Fokker-Planck (FP) operator term is reduced into the linear combination of the moment coefficients, which can be solved analytically under proper truncation. The non-splittin...

Vacuum polarization integrals involve the vector spectral functions which can be experimentally determined from two sources: (i) ee annihilation cross sections and (ii) hadronic τ decays. Recently results with comparable precision have become available from CMD-2 on one side, and ALEPH, CLEO and OPAL on the other. The comparison of the respective spectral functions involves a correction from is...
