Smoothness- transferred random field
We propose a new random field (RF) model, smoothness-transfer random field (ST-RF) model, for image modeling. In the objective function of RF models, smoothness energy is defined with compatibility function to capture the relationship between neighboring local regions, while data energy for the …

Smoothness analysis of subdivision algorithms
… their results. A complete formal examination of smoothness properties for subdivision schemes was only recently performed by Jörg Peters and Ulrich Reif. This thesis presents a precise and detailed introduction to the analysis of subdivision algorithms. For this purpose, first of all, the …

The excess smoothness puzzle in consumption
<p>This paper discusses the "excess smoothness" puzzle which means that permanent income is more volatile than consumption. There have been two major explanations of this puzzle. One is that the existence of excess sensitivity spreads the effect of a permanent income innovation over multiple …

On the Smoothness of the Bellman Function
In Optimal Control Theory, necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimality of a given control, under the assumption that the Bellman function is continously differentiable, can be established by the method of dynamic programming. However, as simple examples show, the Bellman function is in …

An Analysis of Motion Smoothness in Video Object Detection
… being done on analyzing bounding box path smoothness. Bounding box path smoothness is useful as it can contribute to improve machine vision. Additionally, it provides another metric by which researchers can assess the capabilities and qualities of video object detection systems. In this …

Gaze behaviour and gait smoothness when navigating complex environments
… indicators of information processing and gait smoothness during real-world and laboratory environments. Methodology. Gaze indicators of information and gait smoothness of 13 participants were measured during laboratory and real-world environments. Laboratory trials required participants to …

Mollified piecewise polynomial approximants of arbitrary order and smoothness
… basis functions of arbitrary degree and smoothness on non-overlapping partitions consisting of convex polytopes. On each polytope, an independent local polynomial approximant of arbitrary order is assumed. The basis functions are defined as the convolution of the local approximant with a …

Smoothness of invariant densities for certain classes of dynamical systems
Under certain conditions a many-to-one transformation of the unit interval into itself possesses a finite invariant ergodic measure equivalent to the Lebesque measure. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate these conditions and to show how differentiable properties of the invariant density …

Boundary data smoothness for solutions of nonlocal boundary value problems.
… this dissertation, we investigate boundary data smoothness for solutions of nonlocal boundary value problems over discrete and continuous domains. Essentially, we show that under certain conditions partial derivatives and differences exist, with respect to boundary conditions, for solutions of …

Smoothness and Adaptivity in Nonlinear Optimization for Machine Learning Applications
… relies on assumptions like bounded Lipschitz smoothness of the loss function which are rarely met in machine learning. Besides, existing theory cannot well explain why adaptive methods outperform gradient descent in certain machine learning tasks like training transformers. In this thesis, to …

Evolution of movement smoothness and submovement patterns in persons with stroke
Smoothness is characteristic of coordinated human movements, and stroke patients' movements seem to grow more smooth with recovery. A robotic therapy device was used to analyze five different measures of movement smoothness in the hemiparetic arm of thirty-one patients recovering from stroke. Four …

Solids in relation to smoothness and keeping qualities of ice cream
I Smoothness and texture of ice cream are closely associated both with fresh and refrozen ice cream. II Smoothness depends upon the amount and fineness of division of solids present other than those in true solution, within limit ; that iis, the smoothness depends upon size and distribution of ice …

Characterizing smoothness of solutions with respect to boundary data of Dirichlet-nonlocal-Dirichlet boundary value problems for third order ordinary differential equations.
The goal of our paper is to establish analogues of Peano's Theorem for Dirichlet-nonlocal-Dirichlet conditions in third order ordinary differential equations. We begin by establishing the difference quotient, followed by a telescoping sum, allowing us to set up a linear system of equations in two …
