Abstract. We consider the single machine scheduling problem to minimize the average weighted completion time under precedence constrains. Improving on the various 2-approximation a...
Learning function relations or understanding structures of data lying in manifolds embedded in huge dimensional Euclidean spaces is an important topic in learning theory. In this ...
Second order statistics have formed the basis of learning and adaptation due to its appeal and analytical simplicity. On the other hand, in many realistic engineering problems requ...
icians or philosophers use abstract symbols to derive formulas or form proofs. Indeed, these sketches are structural geometric proofs, consistent with Plato's supposition that...
