Abstract: The classical Weyl-von Neumann theorem states that for any selfadjoint operator A in a separable Hilbert space H there exists a (non-unique) Hilbert-Schmidt operator C = C∗ such that the perturbed operator A + C has purely point spectrum. We are interesting whether this result remains valid for non-additive perturbations by considering self-adjoint extensions of a given densely define...

Abstract Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is a simple yet very efficient texture operator which labels the pixels of an image by threshold the neighbourhood of each pixel and considers the result as a binary number. Due to its discriminative power and computational simplicity, LBP texture operator has become a popular approach in various applications. It can be seen as a unifying approach to the trad...
