Canonical Parametrization of the Dual Problem in Robust Optimization: Non-Rational Case

In this paper, we consider the problem of robust optimization for a system with uncertainty of rank one. The main result is the canonical parameterization of all destabilizing uncertainties in the dual problem. The corresponding result in the rational case has been previously stated in terms of unstable zero-pole cancellations.In this paper the result is extended to the class of non-rational syste

The Function of Distinctive Features in Early Christian Manuscripts

The last decade has seen a number of scholarly works within the field of manuscript studies/textual criticism that focus on different aspects of early Christian reading culture (e.g. by Hurtado, Charlesworth, Cribiore, and Haines-Eitzen). The distinctive features of early Christian manuscripts—e.g. codex format, handwriting, nomina sacra, lectional signs, etc.—are not just identified, but also con

Bandwidth limitations for scattering of higher order electromagnetic spherical waves with implications for the antenna scattering matrix

Various physical limitations in electromagnetic theory and antenna theory have received considerable attention recently. However, there are no previous limitations on the scattering of higher order electromagnetic vector spherical waves, despite the widespread use of spherical wave decompositions. In the present paper, bandwidth limitations on the scattering matrix are derived for a wide class of

Methods for understanding the mobile user experience

Evaluating the user experience is often done in a laboratory. Methods for observing what happens in the wild are nonetheless being employed because they bring results that the traditional methods of evaluation do not yield. In this paper we describe and discuss methods used at our lab for understanding the mobile user experience. These methods range from quantitative to qualitative evaluation, and

Early Indicators of Software Quality - how far can we go?

How early can software quality be evaluated and how can it be done? As for quality requirements, several solutions have been proposed in the literature. In spite of the criticism, the ISO/IEC9126 standard has been widely adopted for software quality measurement throughout entire software development life-cycle. Other approaches usually focus on evaluating only some of the quality characteristics a

Research proposal: Industry convergence - Driving forces, factors and consequences

Industry convergence – the merger of hitherto separate industries – is a phenomenon that has had a profound effect on several industries and received considerable interest among practitioners and business press over the past decades. Despite this, industry con- vergence has only received limited attention from the academic management field, al- though an emergent discussion on convergence can be i
