In this paper, an impulsive boundary value problem on the half-line is considered and existence of solutions is proved using Minimization Principal and Mountain Pass Theorem.

A common derivation of principal component analysis (PCA) is based on the minimization of the squared-error between centered data and linear model, corresponding to the reconstruction error. In fact, minimizing the squared-error leads to principal subspace analysis where scaled and rotated principal axes of a set of observed data, are estimated. In this paper, we introduce and investigate an al...

Large disturbances can cause a biped to fall. If an upcoming fall can be detected, damage can be minimized or the fall can be prevented. We introduce the multi-way principal component analysis (MPCA) method for the detection of upcoming falls. We study the detection capability of the MPCA method in a simulation study with the simplest walking model. The results of this study show that the MPCA ...

A method of topological grammars is proposed for multidimensional data approximation. For data with complex topology we define a principal cubic complex of low dimension and given complexity that gives the best approximation for the dataset. This complex is a generalization of linear and non-linear principal manifolds and includes them as particular cases. The problem of optimal principal compl...

We focus on solving robust principal component analysis (RPCA) arising from various applications such as information theory, statistics, engineering, and etc. We adopt a model to minimize the sum of observation error and sparsity measurement subject to the rank constraint. To solve this problem, we propose a two-step alternating minimization method. In one step, a symmetric low rank product min...

Principal curves are parameterized curves passing “through the middle” of a data cloud. These objects constitute a way of generalization of the notion of first principal component in Principal Component Analysis. Several definitions of principal curve have been proposed, one of which can be expressed as a least-square minimization problem. In the present paper, adopting this definition, we stud...
