The obtained formulas use the values of the Humbert confluent hypergeometric and Whittaker special functions. The results are applied to the problem of European option pricing in the related Lévy model of financial market.

Most current research efforts have focused on using CNNs with various kernel sizes for post-filtering, primarily concentrating on High-Efficiency Video Coding/H.265 (HEVC) and Versatile Video Coding/H.266 (VVC). This narrow focus has limited the exploration and application of these techniques to other video coding standards such as AV1, developed by the Alliance for Open Media, which offers excellent compression efficiency, reducing bandwidth usage and improving video quality, making it highly attractive for modern streaming and media applications. This paper introduces a novel approach that extends beyond traditional CNN methods by integrating three different self-attention layers into the CNN framework. Applied to the AV1 codec, the proposed method significantly improves video quality by incorporating these distinct self-attention layers. This enhancement demonstrates the potential of self-attention mechanisms to revolutionize post-filtering techniques in video coding beyond the limitations of convolution-based methods. The experimental results show that the proposed network achieves an average BD-rate reduction of 10.40% for the Luma component and 19.22% and 16.52% for the Chroma components compared to the AV1 anchor. Visual quality assessments further validated the effectiveness of our approach, showcasing substantial artifact reduction and detail enhancement in videos.","PeriodicalId":18303,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real numbers and sequences thereof, data types, and instances are treated as finite texts, and memory limitations are made explicit through a requirement that the texts be stored in the available memory on the devices that manipulate them. In Part I of our investigation, we define the concepts of signification and reference of real numbers. We extend signification to number tuples, data types, and data instances and show that data structures representable as tuples of discretely finite numbers are signifiable. From the signification of real tuples, we proceed to the constructive signification of multidimensional matrices and show that any data structure representable as a multidimensional matrix of discretely finite numbers is signifiable.","PeriodicalId":18303,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical one-shot devices include airbags, fire extinguishers, inflatable life vests, ammo, and handheld flares. Most of them are life-saving products and should be highly reliable in an emergency. Quality control of those productions and predicting their reliabilities over time is critically important. To assess the reliability of the products, manufacturers usually test them in controlled conditions rather than user conditions. We may rely on public datasets that reflect their reliability in actual use, but the datasets often come with missing observations. The experimenter may lose information on covariate readings due to human errors. Traditional missing-data-handling methods may not work well in handling one-shot device data as they only contain their survival statuses. In this research, we propose Multiple Imputation with Unsupervised Learning (MIUL) to impute the missing data using Hierarchical Clustering, k-prototype, and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN). Our simulation study shows that MIUL algorithms have superior performance. We also illustrate the method using datasets from the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).","PeriodicalId":18303,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, we propose an unsupervised cross-domain model (UCDT) for TIR tracking. Our approach leverages labeled training samples from the RGB domain (source domain) to train a general feature extraction network. We then employ a cross-domain model to adapt this network for effective target feature extraction in the TIR domain (target domain). This cross-domain strategy addresses the challenge of limited TIR training samples effectively. Additionally, we utilize an unsupervised learning technique to generate pseudo-labels for unlabeled training samples in the source domain, which helps overcome the limitations imposed by the scarcity of annotated training data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our UCDT tracking method outperforms existing tracking approaches on the PTB-TIR and LSOTB-TIR benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":18303,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there are multiple optimization objectives for the due-window assignment problem, and there is a small amount of research on optimization problems where the window starting time, the rejected cost and the optimal scheduling are jointly required. The goal of this paper is to minimize the weighed sum of scheduling cost, resource consumption cost and outsourcing measure under the optional job outsourcing (rejection). Under two resource allocation models (i.e., linear and convex resource allocation models), the scheduling cost is the weighted sum of the number of early–tardy jobs, earliness–tardiness penalties and due-window starting time and size, where the weights are positional-dependent. The main contributions of this paper include the study and data simulation of single-machine scheduling with learning effects, delivery times and outsourcing cost. For the weighed sum of scheduling cost, resource consumption cost and outsourcing measure, we prove the polynomial solvability of the problem. Under the common and slack due-window assignments, through the theoretical analysis of the optimal solution, we reveal that four problems can be solved in O(n6) time, where n is the number of jobs.","PeriodicalId":18303,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
