Probabilistic Logic Programming is an effective formalism for encoding problems characterized by uncertainty. Some of these problems may require the optimization of probability values subject to constraints among probability distributions…
The two-dimensional (2D) offset linear canonical transform (OLCT) in polar coordinates plays an important role in many fields of optics and signal processing. This paper studies the 2D OLCT in polar coordinates. Firstly, we extend the 2D…

Polar codes provably achieve the capacity of a wide array of channels under successive decoding. This assumes infinite precision arithmetic. Given the successive nature of the decoding algorithm, one might worry about the sensitivity of the…
Computer codes are widely used to describe physical processes in lieu of physical observations. In some cases, more than one computer simulator, each with different degrees of fidelity, can be used to explore the physical system. In this…

A coordinate system is proposed that replaces the usual three-dimensional Cartesian x,y,z position coordinates, for use in robotic localization applications. Range, azimuth, and elevation measurement models become greatly simplified, and,…
Correctness of program transformations in extended lambda calculi with a contextual semantics is usually based on reasoning about the operational semantics which is a rewrite semantics. A successful approach to proving correctness is the…
