Despite their limitations, linear filter models continue to be used to simulate the receptive field properties of cortical simple cells. For theoreticians interested in large scale models of visual cortex, a family of self-similar filters represents a convenient way in which to characterise simple cells in one basic model. This paper reviews research on the suitability of such models, and goes ...

In this contribution we propose a method for reduced-groupdelay Finite Impulse Response (FIR) equiripple filter design from a given linear phase FIR filter. Our restriction is to keep the amplitude response identical. We are concentrating on very high degree polynomials (transfer functions) for which factorisation procedures for root extraction are unreliable. The initial linear phase transfer ...

This paper presents a novel statistical information fusion method to integrate multiple-view sensor data in multi-object tracking applications. The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of the commonly used Generalized Covariance Intersection method, which considers constant weights allocated for sensors. Our method is based on enhancing the Generalized Covariance Intersection with adaptive w...

Abstract: A forward-backward (FB) unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) smoothing algorithm is addressed to provide efficient denoising of piecewise-smooth signals with known or identifiable edge positions. Owing to the time-variant horizon, the algorithm unites advantages of linear structures with robustness of nonlinear ones. The FB UFIR smoother proposed has been examined in Gaussian and h...

Every infinitely divisible law defines a convolution semigroup that solves an abstract Cauchy problem. In the fractional Cauchy problem, we replace the first order time derivative by a fractional derivative. Solutions to fractional Cauchy problems are obtained by subordinating the solution to the original Cauchy problem. Fractional Cauchy problems are useful in physics to model anomalous diffus...

Chruściel and Galloway constructed a Cauchy horizon that is nondifferentiable on a dense set. We prove that in a certain class of Cauchy horizons densely nondifferentiable Cauchy horizons are generic. We show that our class of densely nondifferentiable Cauchy horizons implies the existence of densely nondifferentiable Cauchy horizons arising from partial Cauchy surfaces and also the existence o...

In this paper we investigate the exact peroidic wave shock solutions of the Burgers equations. Our purpose is to describe the asymptotic behavior of the solution in the cauchy problem for viscid equation with small parametr ε and to discuss in particular the case of periodic wave shock. We show that the solution of this problem approaches the shock type solution for the cauchy problem of the in...

Since Cauchy numbers were introduced, various types of Cauchy numbers have been presented. In this paper, we define degenerate Cauchy numbers of the third kind and give some identities for the degenerate Cauchy numbers of the third kind. In addition, we give some relations between four kinds of the degenerate Cauchy numbers, the Daehee numbers and the degenerate Bernoulli numbers.

n this paper, we apply Picard’s Iteration Method followed by Adomian Decomposition Method to solve a nonlinear Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler- Poisson- Darboux Equation. The solution of the problem is much simplified and shorter to arriving at the solution as compared to the technique applied by Carroll and Showalter (1976)in the solution of Singular Cauchy Problem.
