Deformations of simple representations of two-generator HNN extensions.
(2002)
This thesis demonstrates the existence of simple representations in any dimension of a specific collection of Baumslag-Solitar groups, BS (m, n), and investigates their deformations. Specifically, the dimension of the ...
Decomposition techniques for support vector machines training and applications.
(2002)
The theory of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm is based on statistical learning theory and can be applied to pattern recognition and regression. Training of SVMs leads to either a quadratic programming (QP) ...
Sequence and analysis of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
