introduction: appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on diffusion tensor image (dti) segmentation results. the geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. however, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. the main goal of this ...

We provide a compact proof of the recent formula of Collins and Matsumoto for the Weingarten matrix of the orthogonal group using Jucys–Murphy elements.

In ([1]), T. Adati and K. Matsumoto defined para-Sasakian and special para-Sasakian manifolds which are considered as special cases of an almost paracontact manifold introduced by I. Sato and K. Matsumoto ([10]). In the same paper, the authors studied conformally symmetric para-Sasakian manifolds and they proved that an ndimensional (n>3) conformally symmetric para-Sasakian manifold is conforma...

Kengo Matsumoto has introduced λ-graph systems and strong shift equivalence of λ-graph systems [Doc.Math.4 (1999), 285-340]. We associate to a subshift of a subshift a λ-graph system. The strong shift equivalence class of the associated λ-graph system is an invariant of subsystem equivalence. Wolfgang Krieger and Kengo Matsumoto have introduced the λ-entropy of a λ-graph system and have shown i...

The habenula is a small, bilateral brain structure located at the dorsal end of the diencephalon. This structure sends projections to the dopaminergic striatum and receives inputs from the limbic forebrain, making the habenula a unique modulator of cross-talk between these brain regions. Despite strong interest in the habenula during the seventies and eighties (Herkenham and Nauta, 1977; Beckst...
