The generation of electricity from heat, also known as thermoelectric energy conversion, has proved to be advantageous for ...

Proper handling of continuous variables is crucial in healthcare research, for example, within regression modelling for descriptive, explanatory, or predictive purposes. However, inadequate methods ...

Tackling complex puzzles requires a different set of skills than simple writing tasks. Borrowing the non-linear techniques detectives use to organize data can help.

In this paper, we further demonstrate this piecewise linear surrogate approach to optimize a process family of carbon capture systems and water desalination systems using a combination of neural ...

The upper envelope of piecewise linear functions: algorithms and applications by Edelsbrunner, Herbert; Guibus, L; Sharir, M Publication date 1987 Publisher New York: Courant Institute of Mathematical ...

The uniqueness of the solution is needed to have a unique algebraic representation of the curve we want to describe. Complementarity Representation for Piecewise Linear Characteristics In many ...

Based on these convex polyhedra, a group of continuous piecewise-linear basis functions are formulated. It is proven that a linear combination of these basis functions plus a constant, which we call a ...

We present Parametric Piecewise Linear Networks (PPLNs) for temporal vision inference. Motivated by the neuromorphic principles that regulate biological neural behaviors, PPLNs are ideal for handling ...
