The sequences may be composed of binary symbols denoting either silent or monophonic sounded pulses, or ternary symbols denoting silent pulses and two types of sounded pulses made up of low-pitched (dum) and high-pitched (tak) sounds. Experiments are described that compare the effectiveness of the many-to-many minimum-weight matching between two sequences to serve as a measure of similarity that correlates well with human judgements of rhythm similarity. This measure is also compared to the often used edit distance and to the one-to-one minimum-weight matching. New results are reported from experiments performed with three widely different datasets of real- world and artificially generated musical rhythms (including Afro-Cuban rhythms), and compared with results previously reported with a dataset of Middle Eastern dum-tak rhythms.展开更多

Each extension has been confirmed numerically. The minimum-domain theory indicates that the numerical finding of Li and Lu（2012） is of general significance： The entire force is completely determined by only the time rate of impulse of those vortical structures still connecting to the body, along with the Lamb-vector integral thereof that captures the contribution of all the rest disconnected vortical structures.展开更多

We give the proof and construction of the minimum-area ellipse through three non-collinear points from the geometric point of view, and present a new method of determining knots. This method replaces the chord length, which is closer to the arc length of the mini- mum-area ellipse with arc length, and avoids the occurrence of ＇oscillation＇ and ＇loops＇. We compare the new method with the uni- form method, chord length method and the centripetal method. The comparison is performed on the quality of cubic spline curves using these methods. In most cases, the result of our method is better than others.展开更多

In this paper, we put forward a minimum-energy path-preserving topology control （MPTC） algorithm based on a concept of none k-redundant edges. MPTC not only resolves the problem of excessive energy consumption because of the unclosed region in small minimum-energy communication network （SMECN）, but also preserves at least one minimum-energy path between every pair of nodes in a wireless sensor network. We also propose an energy-efficient reconfiguration protocol that maintains the minimum-energy path property in the case where the network topology changes dynamically. Finally, we demonstrate the performance improvements of our algorithm through simulation.展开更多
