The colour gamuts of colour imaging media are important parameters in the reproduction of colour images between them and their assumed magnitudes directly influence the degree to which colours are modified. In spite of this, the determination of gamut boundaries is often done in a way that ignores some basic implications that follow from the definition of colour gamuts. This is partly due to th...

In a range of contexts, one comes across processes resembling inference, but where input propositions are not in general included among outputs, and the operation is not in any way reversible. Examples arise in contexts of conditional obligations, goals, ideals, preferences, actions, and beliefs. In a separate paper, we developed a general theory of such processes when they are applied without ...

We present two versions of a grid job submission system produced for the BaBar experiment. Both use globus job submission to process data spread across various sites, producing output which can be combined for analysis. The problems encountered with authorisation and authentication, data location, job submission, and the input and output sandboxes are described, as are the solutions. The total ...

The state space and input/output forillulatioils of inodel predictive control are compared and preference is given to the former because of the industrial interest in multivaria,ble constra,ined problems. Recently, by abaildoning the assumption of a finite output horizon several researchers lmve derived powerful stability results for linear and noillillear systems with and without constraints, ...

The problem of assessing the impact of firm entry and exit on aggregate productivity growth is addressed. The proposed method overcomes some problems with currently proposed methods. The paper also addresses some of the problems involved in aggregating outputs and inputs when firms enter and exit so that the one output and one input aggregate productivity decompositions can be applied. It turns...

We introduce a new operation on a class of graphs with the property that the Laplacian eigenvalues of the input and output graphs are related. Based on this operation, we obtain a family of Θ( √ n) noncospectral unicyclic graphs on n vertices with the same Laplacian energy.

In this paper we discuss how cognitive attitudes like beliefs, obligations, intentions and desires can be represented as components with input/output functionality. We study how to break down an agent specification into a specification of individual components and a specification of their coordination. A typical property discussed at the individual component specification level is whether the i...

We introduce a technique for identification of systems with arbitrarily time-variant responses from samples of their input and output signals, and without using any prior information about the dynamics of the unknown system response. Our technique is based on the use of optimized averaging filters for the estimation of time-variant second order moments. We demonstrate the utility of our approac...

In a recent paper by Vencheh and Esmaeilzadeh, a super-efficiency model based on RDM model is formulated where some input and output data are negative. However, we show that the formulation in the paper is not always feasible or bounded for its purpose and cannot produce the numerical results claimed. Moreover, we demonstrate that the super-efficiency model based on RDM model is unable to provi...
