In this paper a 2D Leap Frog Algorithm is applied to solve the so-called noisy Photometric Stereo problem. In 3-source Photometric Stereo (noiseless or noisy) an ideal unknown Lambertian surface is illuminated from distant light-source directions (their directions are assumed to be linearly independent). The subsequent goal, given three images is to reconstruct the illuminated object’s shape. U...

An effective hybrid cuckoo search algorithm (CS) with improved shuffled frog-leaping algorithm (ISFLA) is put forward for solving 0-1 knapsack problem. First of all, with the framework of SFLA, an improved frog-leap operator is designed with the effect of the global optimal information on the frog leaping and information exchange between frog individuals combined with genetic mutation with a sm...

We explore the relationship between Kekulé structures and maximum face independence sets in fullerenes: plane trivalent graphs with pentagonal and hexagonal faces. For the class of leap-frog fullerenes, we show that a maximum face independence set corresponds to a Kekulé structure with a maximum number of benzene rings and may be constructed by partitioning the pentagonal faces into pairs and 3...

In this report, after pedagogical mathematical insight into basic notions of numerical analysis for di erential equations, more speci c Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is introduced. Afterwards, the DG method is combined with a fourth-order staggered Leap-Frog (LF4) scheme to be applied to the solution of the Maxwell equations wavepropagation problem. Stability analysis of the resulting sche...

In this paper, a new algorithm which is the result of the combination of cellular learning automata and frog leap algorithm (SFLA) is proposed for optimization in continuous, static environments.At the proposed algorithm, each memeplex of frogs is placed in a cell of cellular learning automata. Learning automata in each cell acts as the brain of memeplex, and will determine the strategy of moti...

In this paper, a new efficient method for load balancing in low voltage distribution systems is presented. The proposed method introduces an improved Leap-frog method for optimization. The proposed objective function includes the difference between three phase currents, as well as two other terms to provide the integer property of the variables; where the latter are the status of the connection...

A high-order leap-frog based non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin timedomain method for solving Maxwell’s equations is introduced and analyzed. The proposed method combines a centered approximation for the evaluation of fluxes at the interface between neighboring elements, with a N th-order leap-frog time scheme. Moreover, the interpolation degree is defined at the element level and the mesh ...

In this paper, we develop a leap-frog mixed finite element method for solving Maxwell’s equations resulting from metamaterials. Our scheme is similar to the popular Yee’s FDTD scheme used in electrical engineering community, and is preferable for three dimensional large scale modeling since no storage of the large coefficient matrix is needed. Our scheme is proved to obey the Gauss’s law automa...
