Rather than measuring aberrations across the field to quantify the alignment of an optical system, we show how a single, on-axis measurement of the pupil mapping can be used to measure the off-axis performance of the system and determine the state of alignment. In this paper we show how the Abbe sine condition can be used to relate the mapping between the entrance and exit pupils to image aberr...

in this paper, using the fixed point and direct methods, we prove the generalized hyers-ulam-rassias stability of the following cauchy-jensen additive functional equation: begin{equation}label{main} fleft(frac{x+y+z}{2}right)+fleft(frac{x-y+z}{2}right)=f(x)+f(z)end{equation} in various normed spaces. the concept of hyers-ulam-rassias stability originated from th. m. rassias’ stability theorem t...

let c be a field of subsets of a set i. also, let     1 i i be a non-decreasing positivesequence of real numbers such that 1, 1 0 1   i  and    11 i i . in this paper we prove thatbv of all the games of -bounded variation on c is a non-separable and norm dual banach space of thespace of simple games on c . we use this fact to establish the existence of a linear mapping t from...

We determined complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of the two yeast species, Candida orthopsilosis and Candida metapsilosis, and compared them with the linear mitochondrial genome of their close relative, C.parapsilosis. Mitochondria of all the three species harbor compact genomes encoding the same set of genes arranged in the identical order. Differences in the length of these genomes result m...

Extending the corresponding notion for matrices or bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space we define a generalized Schur complement for a non-negative linear operator mapping a linear space into its dual and derive some of its properties.

Dimensionality reduction (DR) is often used as a preprocessing step in classification, but usually one first fixes the DR mapping, possibly using label information, and then learns a classifier (a filter approach). Best performance would be obtained by optimizing the classification error jointly over DR mapping and classifier (a wrapper approach), but this is a difficult nonconvex problem, part...

F(2) populations are commonly used in genetic studies of animals and plants. For simplicity, most quantitative trait locus or loci (QTL) mapping methods have been developed on the basis of populations having two distinct genotypes at each polymorphic marker or gene locus. In this study, we demonstrate that dominance can cause the interactions between markers and propose an inclusive linear mode...

We establish representations of a monotone mapping as the sum of a maximal subdifferential mapping and a ‘remainder’ monotone mapping, where the remainder is either skew linear, or more broadly ‘acyclic’, in the sense that it contains no nontrivial subdifferential component. Examples are given of indecomposable and acyclic operators. In particular, we present an explicit nonlinear acyclic opera...

We introduce a new matrix class Pc, which consists of those matrices M for which the solution set of the corresponding linear complementarity problem is connected for every q 2 I R n. We consider Lemke's pivotal method from the perspective of piecewise linear homotopies and normal maps and show that Lemke's method processes all matrices in Pc \Q0. We further investigate the relationship of the ...
