This paper addresses the problem of joint rate-distortion optimization of spline curves for optimal video object shape coding. It proposes a B-spline snake model which minimizes rate-distortion energy to find optimal spline coefficients. A continous model of a contour distortion is used which models the shape reconstruction error. A continous model of a coding bitrate is based on the relative i...

The Slope Deflection Method is one of the displacement-based methods developed for structural analysis. In this study, an approach proposed static analysis continuous beams. basis includes Ricatti Transform, which was used in literature to get Transfer Matrix by using Finite Element Method. Transform applied firstly, application shown theoretically, and then two numerical examples were solved s...

Let (X, ‖ · ‖) be a Banach space, f : X → X continous Freche’t differentiable map.Denote the set of almost periodic point by A(f).In this paper,we prove that there exists an uncountable set Λ such that f |Λ is distributionally chaotic,and Λ ⊂ A(f).

Liénard systems of the form ẍ + ǫf(x)ẋ + x = 0, with f(x) an even continous function, are considered. The bifurcation curves of limit cycles are calculated exactly in the weak (ǫ → 0) and in the strongly (ǫ → ∞) nonlinear regime in some examples. The number of limit cycles does not increase when ǫ increases from zero to infinity in all the cases analyzed.

Atrophy of the nerve fibres in the retina visible by direct ophthalmoscopy using red-free illumination, together with corresponding scotomata in the visual fields, signified retrograde degeneration of retinal nerve fibres from multiple sclerosis. Defects in medullated retinal nerve fibres were continous with arcuate nerve fibre bundle defects. These myelin defects exemplify secondary demyelinat...

We study linear and algebraic structures in sets of bounded holomorphic functions on the ball which have large cluster at every possible point (i.e., sphere several complex variables closed unit bidual infinite dimensional case). show that this set is strongly c-algebrable for all separable Banach spaces. For specific spaces including ℓ p or duals Lorentz sequence spaces, we c-algebrability spa...

A classification in terms of K-theory and tracial states is obtained for those real structures which are compatible with the inductive limit structure of a simple C∗-inductive limit of direct sums of algebras of continous matrix valued functions on an interval.
