Local Culprits of Shape Complexity

2021-01-01
Quantifying shape complexity is useful in several practical problems in addition to being interesting from a theoretical point of view. In this paper, instead of assigning a single global measure of complexity, we propose a distributed coding where to each point on the shape domain a measure of its contribution to complexity is assigned. We define the shape simplicity as the expressibility of the shape via a prototype shape. To keep discussions concrete we focus on a case where the prototype is a rectangle. Nevertheless, the constructions in the paper is valid in higher dimensions where the prototype is a hyper-cuboid. Thanks to the connection between differential operators and mathematical morphology, the proposed construction naturally extends to the case where diamonds serve as the prototypes.

On the dynamics of singular continuous systems
Güler, Y (1989-04-01)
The Hamilton–Jacobi theory of a special type of singular continuous systems is investigated by the equivalent Lagrangians method. The Hamiltonian is constructed in such a way that the constraint equations are involved in the canonical equations implicitly. The Hamilton–Jacobi partial differential equation is set up in a similar manner to the regular case
Evolutionary structural optimization of multiple load case generic aircraft components
Avgın, Murat Atacan; Tönük, Ergin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
Structural optimization is achieving the best objective function from a predefined medium, well bounded by constraints. Optimization methods have been utilized on different engineering applications to minimize the conceptual design effort that creates the necessity of new optimization techniques. Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is a topological optimization algorithm, which is defined as removing of inefficient elements from a design domain. ESO stress based method is applied to linear elastic, i...

Karasu, Emine Ayşe; Yurdusen, I (AIP Publishing, 2003-04-01)
The integrability of a coupled KdV-mKdV system is tested by means of singularity analysis. The true Lax pair associated with this system is obtained by the use of prolongation technique. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
Hydrodynamic type integrable equations on a segment and a half-line
Guerses, Metin; Habibullin, Ismagil; Zheltukhın, Kostyantyn (AIP Publishing, 2008-10-01)
The concept of integrable boundary conditions is applied to hydrodynamic type systems. Examples of such boundary conditions for dispersionless Toda systems are obtained. The close relation of integrable boundary conditions with integrable reductions in multifield systems is observed. The problem of consistency of boundary conditions with the Hamiltonian formulation is discussed. Examples of Hamiltonian integrable hydrodynamic type systems on a segment and a semiline are presented. (C) 2008 American Institut...
Modeling complex nonlinear responses of shallow lakes to fish and hydrology using artificial neural networks
Tan, Can Ozan; Beklioğlu, Meryem (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-10)
Mathematical abstractions may be useful in providing insight that is otherwise very difficult to obtain due to complex interactions in the ecosystems. The difficulty associated with the nonlinearity and complexity of ecological processes and interactions can be avoided with artificial neural networks (ANN) and generalized logistic models (GLMs) which are practically ANNs without hidden layer. An ANN and a GLM were developed to determine the probability of submerged plant occurrence in five shallow Anatolian...
