Minutiae Triplet-based Features with Extended Ridge Information for Determining Sufficiency in Fingerprints
In order to deliver statistical and qualitative backing to latent fingerprint evidence, algorithms are proposed (1) to perform fingerprint matching to aid in quality assessment, and (2) to discover statistically rare features or patterns in fingerprints. These features would help establish an …

The gap between necessity and sufficiency for stability of sparse matrix systems: simulation studies
Sparse matrix systems (SMSs) are potentially very useful for graph analysis and topological representations of interaction and communication among elements within a system. Such systems’ stability can be determined by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. However, simply using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion is …
