Symmetric polynomials and divided differences in formulas of intersection theory

Piotr Pragacz (1996)

Banach Center Publications

The goal of this paper is at least two-fold. First we attempt to give a survey of some recent (and developed up to the time of the Banach Center workshop Parameter Spaces, February '94) applications of the theory of symmetric polynomials and divided differences to intersection theory. Secondly, taking this opportunity, we complement the story by either presenting some new proofs of older results (and this takes place usually in the Appendices to the present paper) or providing some new results which...

The adaptation of the k -means algorithm to solving the multiple ellipses detection problem by using an initial approximation obtained by the DIRECT global optimization algorithm

Rudolf Scitovski, Kristian Sabo (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the multiple ellipses detection problem on the basis of a data points set coming from a number of ellipses in the plane not known in advance, whereby an ellipse E is viewed as a Mahalanobis circle with center S , radius r , and some positive definite matrix Σ . A very efficient method for solving this problem is proposed. The method uses a modification of the k -means algorithm for Mahalanobis-circle centers. The initial approximation consists of the set of circles whose centers are determined...

The ring of multisymmetric functions

Francesco Vaccarino (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give a presentation (in terms of generators and relations) of the ring of multisymmetric functions that holds for any commutative ring R , thereby answering a classical question coming from works of F. Junker [J1, J2, J3] in the late nineteen century and then implicitly in H. Weyl book “The classical groups” [W].
