In this paper, we introduce the notion of an (a, b)-rectangle pattern on permutations which is closely related to the notion of successive elements (bonds) in permutations and to mesh patterns introduced recently by Brändén and Claesson. We call the (k, k)-rectangle pattern the k-box pattern. We show that we can derive an explicit formula for the number of permutations of Sn which have the maxi...

We have investigated the properties of neurons in inferior temporal (IT) cortex in monkeys performing a pattern matching task. Simple backpropagation networks were trained to discriminate the various stimulus conditions on the basis of the measured neuronal signal. We also trained networks to predict the neuronal response waveforms from the spatial patterns of the stimuli. The results indicate ...

palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. in this paper, a new local descriptor, local composition derivative pattern (lcdp) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...
