We propose a major index statistic on 01-fillings of moon polyominoes which, when specialized to certain shapes, reduces to the major index for permutations and set partitions. W...

Shape estimation and object reconstruction are common problems in image analysis. Mathematically, viewing objects in the image plane as random sets reduces the problem of shape es...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
We study the problem of deciding whether two ontologies are inseparable w.r.t. a signature Σ, i.e., whether they have the same consequences in the signature Σ. A special case is...
We apply language theory to compare the expressive power of models that extend Petri nets with features like colored tokens and/or whole place operations. Specifically, we conside...
