Segmentation of brain MR images through a hidden Markov random field model and the expectation-maximization algorithm
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL. IMAGING
, 2001
"... The finite mixture (FM) model is the most commonly used model for statistical segmentation of brain magnetic resonance (MR) images because of its simple mathematical form and the piecewise constant nature of ideal brain MR images. However, being a histogram-based model, the FM has an intrinsic limi ..."

Bounded geometries, fractals, and low-distortion embeddings
"... The doubling constant of a metric space (X; d) is thesmallest value * such that every ball in X can be covered by * balls of half the radius. The doubling dimension of X isthen defined as dim(X) = log2 *. A metric (or sequence ofmetrics) is called doubling precisely when its doubling dimension is ..."

Distortion of the hyperbolicity constant of a graph
"... If X is a geodesic metric space and x1, x2, x3 ∈ X, a geodesic triangle T = {x1, x2, x3} is the union of the three geodesics [x1x2], [x2x3] and [x3x1] in X. The space X is δ-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense) if any side of T is contained in a δ-neighborhood of the union of the other two sides, for ev ..."

of the main aims of this paper is to obtain quantitative information about the distortion of the hyperbolicity constant of the graph G \ e obtained from the graph G by deleting an arbitrary edge e from it. These inequalities allow to obtain the other main result of this paper, which characterizes in a
Are constants constant
"... The prospect of a time-dependent Higgs vacuum expectation value is examined within the standard model of electroweak interactions. It is shown that the classical equation of motion for the Higgs field admits a solution that is a doubly-periodic function of time. The corresponding Dirac equation for ..."

for the electron field is equivalent to a second order differential equation with doubly-periodic coefficients. In the limit of very large primitive period of the Higgs background this equation can be solved in WKBJ approximation, showing plane-wave solutions with a time-dependent distortion factor which can
The Unique Games Conjecture, integrality gap for cut problems and embeddability of negative type metrics into `1
- In Proc. 46th IEEE Symp. on Foundations of Comp. Sci
, 2005
"... In this paper we disprove the following conjecture due to Goemans [17] and Linial [25] (also see [5, 27]): “Every negative type metric embeds into `1 with constant distortion. ” We show that for every δ> 0, and for large enough n, there is an n-point negative type metric which requires distortion ..."

Asset pricing with distorted beliefs: Are equity returns too good to be true?, Working paper
, 1997
"... We study a Lucas asset pricing model that is standard in all respects, except that the representative agent’s subjective beliefs about endowment growth are distorted. Using constant-relative-risk-aversion utility, with relative risk aversion coefficient below ten, and fluctuating beliefs that exhibi ..."

Distortion and topology
"... For a self mapping f: D → D of the unit disk in C which has finite distortion, we give a separation condition on the components of the set where the distortion is large- say greater than a given constant- which implies that f extends homeomorphically and quasisymetrically to the boundary S and thus ..."

Low Distortion Spanners
"... A spanner of an undirected unweighted graph is a subgraph that approximates the distance metric of the original graph with some specified accuracy. Specifically, we say H ⊆ G is an f-spanner of G if any two vertices u, v at distance d in G are at distance at most f(d) in H. There is clearly some tr ..."

Distorting mixed Tsirelson spaces

Certain asymptotic ℓ1 constants for those and other mixed Tsirelson spaces are calculated. Also a combinatorial result on the Schreier families (Sα)α<ω1 is p ..."
