The theory of signal detectability
The problem of signal detectability treated in this paper is the following: Suppose an observer is given a voltage varying with time during a prescribed observation interval and...

ROBUST MODELING WITH ERRATIC DATA
An attractive alternative to least‐squares data modeling techniques is the use of absolute value error criteria. Unlike the least‐squares techniques the inclusion of some infini...
Optimal surface reconstruction from planar contours
In many scientific and technical endeavors, a three-dimensional solid must be reconstructed from serial sections, either to aid in the comprehension of the object's structure or...
Magnetic Effects and the Hartree-Fock Equation
The Hartree-Fock equations state that each electron in an atom or molecular system should move in a different potential. In some cases, particularly magnetic cases, this leads t...
The Relative Operating Characteristic in Psychology
The clinician looking, listening, or feeling for signs of a disease may far prefer a false alarm to a miss, particularly if the disease is serious and contagious. On the other h...
Gap solitons and the nonlinear optical response of superlattices
We study theoretically the transmission of radiation through superlattices of finite length, where the dielectric constant of one film in each unit cell contains a term linear i...

The concept of entropy in landscape evolution
The concept of entropy is expressed in terms of probability of various states. Entropy treats of the distribution of energy. The principle is introduced that the most probable c...
A Viscosity Solutions Approach to Shape-From-Shading
The problem of recovering a Lambertian surface from a single two-dimensional image may be written as a first-order nonlinear equation which presents the disadvantage of having s...
High-Performance Perovskite-Polymer Hybrid Solar Cells via Electronic Coupling with Fullerene Monolayers
A plethora of solution-processed materials have been developed for solar cell applications. Hybrid solar cells based on light absorbing semiconducting polymers infiltrated into ...
Imaging of single molecule diffusion.
In recent years observations at the level of individual atoms and molecules became possible by microscopy and spectroscopy. Imaging of single fluorescence molecules has been ach...
