Illumination problems are a class of mathematical problems that study the illumination of rooms with mirrored walls by point light sources. Original formulation The original formulation was attributed to Ernst Straus in the 1950s and has been resolved. Straus asked whether a room with mirrored walls can always be illu...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary%20expression%20tree
A binary expression tree is a specific kind of a binary tree used to represent expressions. Two common types of expressions that a binary expression tree can represent are algebraic and boolean. These trees can represent expressions that contain both unary and binary operators. Like any binary tree, each node of a bi...

In mathematical finance, the stochastic volatility jump (SVJ) model is suggested by Bates. This model fits the observed implied volatility surface well. The model is a Heston process for stochastic volatility with an added Merton log-normal jump. It assumes the following correlated processes: where S is th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-threshold%20logic
High-threshold logic (HTL), also known as low-speed logic (LSL) or high-level logic (HLL), is a variant of diode–transistor logic used in environments where noise is very high. Operation The threshold values at the input to a logic gate determine whether a particular input is interpreted as a logic 0 or a logic 1 (e....

The European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) is a biennial research conference with the proceedings published by Springer Science+Business Media. Similar to ICCV in scope and quality, it is held those years which ICCV is not. It is considered to be one of the top conferences in computer vision, alongside CVPR and ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological%20pollution
Biological pollution (impacts or bio pollution) is the impact of humanity's actions on the quality of aquatic and terrestrial environment. Specifically, biological pollution is the introduction of non-indigenous and invasive species, otherwise known as Invasive Alien Species (IAS). When the biological pollution is intr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-domain%20reflectometry
Noise-domain reflectometry is a type of reflectometry where the reflectometer exploits existing data signals on wiring and does not have to generate any signals itself. Noise-domain reflectometry, like time-domain and spread-spectrum time domain reflectometers, is most often used in identifying the location of wire fa...
