Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new information-theoretic method to produce explicit self-organizing maps (SOMs). Competition is realized by maximizing mutual information between input patterns ...

The Gaussian Q-function is a fundamental statistical tool that plays a pivotal role in the analytical assessment of error probabilities within communication systems ...

Essentially, apodization has the ability to improve the sensitivity (S/N ratio) or the resolution in the spectrum and to even eliminate truncation artifacts following data collection. This function is ...

The behavior of the zeros in finite Taylor series approximations of the Riemann Xi function (to the zeta function), of modified Bessel functions and of the Gaussian (bell) function is investigated and ...
