We introduce Coherent Point Drift (CPD), a novel probabilistic method for nonrigid registration of point sets. The registration is treated as a Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation ...
We present an efficient implementation of the Modified SParse Approximate Inverse (MSPAI) preconditioner. MSPAI generalizes the class of preconditioners based on Frobenius norm mi...

We study the forward and backward substitution phases of a sparse multifrontal factorization. These phases are often neglected in papers on sparse direct factorization but, in man...

Abstract. We present three algorithms to calculate Φn(z), the nth cyclotomic polynomial. The first algorithm calculates Φn(z) by a series of polynomial divisions, which we perfo...
We analyze volume flexibility — the ability to produce above/below the installed capacity for a product — under endogenous pricing in a two-product setting. We discover that ...
