We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of n axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number alpha of this graph is at least alpha n/4+ohm(root n). We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying ...
Recently, triangle configuration based bivariate simplex splines (referred to as TCB-spline) have been introduced to the geometric computing community. TCB-splines retain many attractive theoretic properties of classical B-splines, such as partition of uni ...
Let F-q be a finite field of q elements, where q is a large odd prime power and Q = a(1)x(1)(c1) + ..... + a(d)x(d)(cd) is an element of F-q[x(1) ,...,x(d)], where 2
We define the bisector energy E(P) of a set P in R-2 to be the number of quadruples (a, b, c, d) is an element of P-4 such that a, b determine the same perpendicular bisector as c, d. Equivalently, E(P) is the number of isosceles trapezoids determined by P ...
This overview is concerned with the well-posedness problem for the isentropic compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics. The results we present are in line with the programof investigatingthe efficiency of different selection criteria proposed in the li ...
Schizophrenic patients show aberrancies of contextual processing over a broad range. Of particular importance are low level contextual deficiencies since they might cause higher level processing deficits. It was previously found that schizophrenic patients ...
