Minimum Makespan Task Sequencing with Multiple Shared Resources

Nel presente lavoro si studia lo scheduling nelle celle robotizzate in presenza di un braccio meccanico che deve eseguire operazioni di load, process e unload su macchine a controllo numerico. Viene studiata la complessità del problema quando l'obiettivo è la minimizzazione del tempo di…

A regularization model for stereo vision with controlled continuity

The problem of the computation of stereo disparity is approaehed as a mathematically ill-posed problem by using regularization theory. A controlled continuity constraint which provides a local spatial control over the smoothness of the solution enables the problem to be regularized while preserving…

Descent Algorithms on Oblique Manifold for Source Adaptive ICA Contrast

A Riemannian manifold optimization strategy is proposed to facilitate the relaxation of the orthonormality constraint in a more natural way in the course of performing independent component analysis (ICA) that employs a mutual information-based source-adaptive contrast function. Despite the…

A lower semi-continuity result for polyconvex functionals in SBV

We prove a semi-continuity theorem for an integral functional made up by a polyconvex energy and a surface term. Our result extends a well-known result by Ball to the BV framework.

Particular Solutions for a Class of ODE Related to the L-Exponential Functions

Particular solutions of a class of higher order ordinary differential equations, with non-constant coefficients, are determined by using the properties of the Laguerre exponentials functions introduced by G. Dattoli and P. E. Ricci in [4]. © 2004, Heldermann Verlag. All rights reserved.

L-splines as diffusive limits of dissipative kinetic models

Dissipative kinetic models inspired by neutron transport are studied in a (1+1)-dimensional context: first, in the two-stream approximation, then in the general case of continuous velocities. Both are known to relax, in the diffusive scaling, toward a damped heat equation. Accordingly, it is shown…

Signalling pathway database usability: lessons learned

BACKGROUND: issues and limitations related to accessibility, understandability and ease of use of signalling pathway databases may hamper or divert research workflow, leading, in the worst case, to the generation of confusing reference frameworks and misinterpretation of experimental results. In an…

Generalized Lattice Boltzmann Method with multi-range pseudo-potential

The physical behavior of a class of mesoscopic models for multiphase flows is analyzed in details near interfaces. In particular, an extended pseudopotential method is developed, which permits to tune the equation of state and surface tension independently of each other. The spurious velocity…
