Gauss mixtures are a popular class of models in statistics and statistical signal processing because Gauss mixtures can provide good fits to smooth densities, because they have a rich theory, because they can yield good results in applications such as classification and image segmentation, and because the can be well estimated by existing algorithms such as the EM algorithm. We here use high ra...

Computational methods are developed for generating Gauss-type quadrature formulae having nodes of arbitrary multiplicity at one or both end points of the interval of integration. Positivity properties of the boundary weights are investigated numerically, and related conjectures are formulated. Applications are made to moment-preserving spline approximation. AMS subject classification: 65D30.

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally propagation dynamics of surface gravity water-wave pulses, having Hermite-Gauss envelopes. We show that these waves propagate self-similarly along an 18-m wave tank, preserving their general Hermite-Gauss envelopes in both the linear and the nonlinear regimes. The measured surface elevation wave groups enable observing the envelope phase evol...

Optimal normal bases are special cases of the so-called Gauss periods (Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Articles 343-366); in particular, optimal normal bases are Gauss periods of type (n,1) for any characteristic and type (n,2) for characteristic 2. We present the multiplication tables and complexities of Gauss periods of type (n, t) for all n and t = 3,4,5 over any finite field and give a slightl...

properties of the hybrid of block-pulse functions and lagrange polynomials based on the legendre-gauss-type points are investigated and utilized to define the composite interpolation operator as an extension of the well-known legendre interpolation operator. the uniqueness and interpolating properties are discussed and the corresponding differentiation matrix is also introduced. the applicabili...

A Gauss paragraph is a combinatorial formulation of a generic closed curve with multiple components on some surface. A virtual string is a collection of circles with arrows that represent the crossings of such a curve. Every closed curve has an underlying virtual string and every virtual string has an underlying Gauss paragraph. A word-wise partition is a partition of the alphabet set of a Gaus...

We study the Gauss map of minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil3 endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. We prove that the Gauss map of a nowhere vertical minimal surface is harmonic into the hyperbolic plane H. Conversely, any nowhere antiholomorphic harmonic map into H is the Gauss map of a nowhere vertical minimal surface. Finally, we study the image of the Gauss map of compl...

In this paper, we report that we have solved the SVP Challenge over a 128-dimensional lattice in Ideal Lattice Challenge from TU Darmstadt, which is currently the highest dimension in the challenge that has ever been solved. The security of lattice-based cryptography is based on the hardness of solving the shortest vector problem (SVP) in lattices. In 2010, Micciancio and Voulgaris proposed a G...

This paper is concerned with the approximation of matrix functionals defined by a large, sparse or structured, symmetric definite matrix. These functionals are Stieltjes integrals with a measure supported on a compact real interval. Rational Gauss quadrature rules that are designed to exactly integrate Laurent polynomials with a fixed pole in the vicinity of the support of the measure may yield...
