Processing Mehryar Mohri, Fernando Pereira and Michael Riley AT&T Research 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, 07974 NJ fmohri,pereira,[email protected] Abstract. Finite-state automata are a very e ective tool in natural language processing. However, in a variety of applications and especially in speech precessing, it is necessary to consider more general machines in which arcs are assigned ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies of local floral adaptation in response to geographically divergent pollinators are essential for understanding floral evolution. This study investigated local pollinator adaptation and variation in floral traits in the rewarding orchid Gymnadenia odoratissima, which spans a large altitudinal gradient and thus may depend on different pollinator guilds along this gradi...

In this paper using the critical point theory of Chang [4] for locally Lipschitz functionals we prove an existence theorem for noncoercive Neumann problems with discontinuous nonlinearities. We use the mountain-pass theorem to obtain a nontrivial solution.

We survey old and new regularity theory for the Monge-Ampère equation, show its connection to optimal transportation, and describe the regularity properties of a general class of Monge-Ampère type equations arising in that context.
