For hydrologic applications, terrain models should have few local minima, and drainage lines should coincide with edges. We show that triangulating a set of points with elevations such that the number of local minima of the resulting terrain is minimized is NP-hard for degenerate point sets. The same result applies when there are no degeneracies for higher-order Delaunay triangulations. Two heu...

We show that triangulating a set of points with elevations such that the number of local minima of the resulting terrain is minimized is NP-hard for degenerate point sets. The same result applies when there are no degeneracies for higher-order Delaunay triangulations. Two heuristics are presented to minimize the number of local minima for higher-order Delaunay triangulations, and they are compa...

in order to evaluate the effect of different planting patterns and different varieties of corn on quantity management in 2015 as a split-plot in a randomized complete block with 3 replications. the test pattern as the main factor in two levels in the atmosphere and the stack corn hybrids in four sub-levels maxima, asv3, magi 704 and 400 were hybrids. the effect of planting pattern, the maximum ...

It has been recently pointed out that atomic nuclei with tetrahedral symmetry could be encountered all over the nuclear chart. The predictions are based on a very general analysis of symmetries of the nuclear mean-field and are inspired by the group-theory considerations. The implied unique 4-fold degeneracies of the single-particle levels characteristic of tetrahedral (and/or octahedral) symme...

Although widely used in practice, the behavior and accuracy of the popular module identification technique called modularity maximization is not well understood in practical contexts. Here, we present a broad characterization of its performance in such situations. First, we revisit and clarify the resolution limit phenomenon for modularity maximization. Second, we show that the modularity funct...

The hydrological modeling has become an intensively studied subject in recent years. One of the most significant problems concerning this issue is to provide the mathematical and statistical tools, which allow to forecast extreme hydrological events, such as severe sea or river floodings. The extreme events on water have huge social and economic impact on the affected areas. Due to these reason...

We consider supersymmetric PP-wave limits for different N = 1 orbifold geometries of the five sphere S5 and the five dimensional Einstein manifold T1,1. As there are several interesting ways to take the Penrose limits, the PP-wave geometry can be either maximal supersymmetric N = 4 or half-maximal supersymmetric N = 2. We discuss in detail the cases AdS5 × S/Z3, AdS5 × S/(Zm × Zn) and AdS5 × T/...

We implemented a spatial model for analysing PM 10 maxima across the Mexico City metropolitan area during the period 1995-2016. We assumed that these maxima follow a non-identical generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and modeled the trend by introducing multivariate smoothing spline functions into the probability GEV distribution. A flexible, three-stage hierarchical Bayesian approach w...
