The classic task of image compositing is complicated by the fact that the source and target images need to be carefully aligned and adjusted. Otherwise, it is not possible to achieve convincing results. Visual artifacts are caused by image intensity mismatch, image distortion or structure misalignment even if the images have been globally aligned. In this paper we extend classic Poisson blendin...

Given the set of square matrices M ⊂ Mn+m(C) that keep the subspace W = Cnx{0} ⊂ C invariant, we obtain the implicit form of a miniversal deformation of a matrix a ∈ M, and we compute it explicitely when this matrix is marked (this is, if there is a permutation matrix p ∈ Mn+m(C) such that p−1ap is a Jordan matrix). We derive some applications to tackle the classical Carlson problem.

Non-geometric string backgrounds were proposed to be related to a nonassociative deformation of the space-time geometry. In the flux formulation of double field theory (DFT), the structure of mathematically possible non-associative deformations is analyzed in detail. It is argued that on-shell there should not be any violation of associativity in the effective DFT action. For imposing either th...

The load redistribution between and within phases in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi2.1 was measured using in-situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation at 973 K. partitioning is reversed compared to lower temperatures, with L12 becoming the stronger phase. evolution of orientation-specific stresses strains phase suggests that cube slip dominates response. low strength, internal...

This book is concerned with theory, algorithms and software for solving nonconvex mixed integer nonlinear programs. It consists of two parts. The first part describes basic optimization tools, such as block-separable reformulations, convex and Lagrangian relaxations, decomposition methods and global optimality criteria. The second part is devoted to algorithms. Starting with a short overview on...

Fuzzy functional dependency (FFD) is a kind of semantic knowledge and can be discovered from a large volume of business data. Sectional FFD and Attribute FFD are discussed so as to reflect semantics of the business world and express useful information that is natural for people to comprehend. The experimental results on an insurance data set show that the proposed method can extract knowledge e...
