The continuum and semiclassical limits of isotropic, spatially flat loop quantum cosmology are discussed, with an emphasis on the role played by the Barbero–Immirzi parameter γ in controlling space-time discreteness. In this way, standard quantum cosmology is shown to be the simultaneous limit γ → 0, j → ∞ of loop quantum cosmology. Here, j is a label of the volume eigenvalues, and the simultan...

Subspace learning methods are widely used in background modeling to tackle illumination changes. Their main advantage is that it doesn’t need to label data during the training and running phase. Recently, White et al. [1] have shown that a supervised approach can improved significantly the robustness in background modeling. Following this idea, we propose to model the background via a supervise...

this paper is concerned with the problem of designing discrete-time control systems with closed-loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of stability. first, we obtain a state feedback matrix which assigns all the eigenvalues to zero, and then by elementary similarity operations we find a state feedback which assigns the eigenvalues inside a circle with center   and radius. this new algorithm ca...

the main aim of this paper is to extend the recently developed methods for calculating the buckling loads of planar symmetric frames to include the effect of semi-rigidity of the joints. this is achieved by decomposing a symmetric model into two submodels and then healing them in such a manner that the ::::union:::: of the eigenvalues of the healed submodels result in the eigenvalues of the ent...

‎Let $G$ be a graph without an isolated vertex‎, ‎the normalized Laplacian matrix $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$‎ ‎is defined as $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)=mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}mathcal{L}(G)mathcal{D}^{-frac{1}{2}}$‎, where ‎$mathcal{D}$ ‎is a‎ diagonal matrix whose entries are degree of ‎vertices ‎‎of ‎$‎G‎$‎‎. ‎The eigenvalues of‎ $tilde{mathcal{L}}(G)$ are ‎called as ‎the ‎normalized Laplacian eigenva...

In the previous note, we obtained the solutions to a homogeneous linear system with constant coefficients. x = A x under the assumption that the roots of its characteristic equation |A − λI| = 0, — i.e., the eigenvalues of A — were real and distinct. In this section we consider what to do if there are complex eigenval­ ues. Since the characteristic equation has real coefficients, its complex ro...

this paper is devoted to the proof of the unique solvability ofthe inverse problems for second-order differential operators withregular singularities. it is shown that the potential functioncan be determined from spectral data, also we prove a uniquenesstheorem in the inverse problem.

background recombinant activated factor vii (rfviia; novoseven® rt, novo nordisk, bagsvaerd, denmark) is a synthetic pro-coagulation factor derived from hamster kidney cells. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prescribing patterns of recombinant factor viia (rfviia) at a single, tertiary care pediatric hospital by indication of usage and dose administered. materials and me...

The analysis of cross-correlations is extensively applied for understanding of interconnections in stock markets. Variety of methods are used in order to search stock cross-correlations including the Random Matrix Theory (RMT), the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Hierachical ‎Structures.‎ In ‎this work‎, we analyze cross-crrelations between price fluctuations of 20 ‎company ‎stocks‎...

in this paper, we investigate some properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions. also, we obtain formal series solutions for some partial differential equations associated with the second order differential equation, and study necessary and sufficient conditions for the negative and positive eigenvalues of the boundary value problem....
