Prototype based methods are commonly used in cluster analysis and the results may be highly dependent on the prototype used. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy clustering method that involves adaptively expanding convex polytopes. Thus, the dependency on the use of prototypes can be eliminated. The proposed method makes it possible to effectively represent an arbitrarily distributed data set without a priori knowledge of the number of clusters in the data set. Specifically, nonlinear membership functions are utilized to determine whether a new cluster is created or which vertex of the cluster should be expanded. For this, the membership function of a new vertex is assigned according to not only a distance measure between an incoming pattern vector and a current vertex, but also the amount how much the current vertex has been modified. Therefore, cluster expansion can be only allowed for one cluster per incoming pattern. Several experimental results are given to show the validity of our mehtod.

The common requirements for watermarking are usually invisibility, robustness, and capacity. We proposed the watermarking for 3D mesh model based on projection onto convex sets for invisibility and robustness among requirements. As such, a 3D mesh model is projected alternatively onto two convex sets until it converge a point. The robustness convex set is designed to be able to embed watermark into the distance distribution of vertices. The invisibility convex set is designed for the watermark to be invisible based on the limit range of vertex movement. The watermark can be extracted using the decision values and index that the watermark was embedded with. Experimental results verify that the watermarked mesh model has both robustness against mesh simplification, cropping, affine transformations, and vertex randomization and invisibility.

This paper proposes a robustness watermarking for 3D mesh model based on projection onto convex sets (POCS). After designing the convex sets for robustness and invisibility among some requirements for watermarking system, a 3D-mesh model is projected alternatively onto two constraints convex sets until the convergence condition is satisfied. The robustness convex set are designed for embedding the watermark into the distance distribution of the vertices to robust against the attacks, such as mesh simplification, cropping, rotation, translation, scaling, and vertex randomization. The invisibility convex set are designed for the embedded watermark to be invisible. The decision values and index that the watermark was embedded with are used to extract the watermark without the original model. Experimental results verify that the watermarked mesh model has invisibility and robustness against the attacks, such as translation, scaling, mesh simplification, cropping, and vertex randomization.

For a simple, undirected graph G = (V, E), a perfect Roman dominating function (PRDF) f : V → {0, 1, 2} has the property that, every vertex u with f(u) = 0 is adjacent to exactly one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a PRDF is the sum f(V) = ∑_v∈V f(v). The minimum weight of a PRDF is called the perfect Roman domination number, denoted by γ_R^P(G). Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the PRDF problem is to check whether G has a perfect Roman dominating function of weight at most k. In this paper, we first investigate the complexity of PRDF problem for some subclasses of bipartite graphs namely, star convex bipartite graphs and comb convex bipartite graphs. Then we show that PRDF problem is linear time solvable for bounded tree-width graphs, chain graphs and threshold graphs, a subclass of split graphs.

본 논문에서는 임의의 정렬되지 않은 평면 점집합(Plane Point Set)에서 정렬을 고려한 개선된 Convex Hull 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘은 Convex Hull의 극점(Extreme Point) 특성을 이용하여 처리 데이터를 한정하기 때문에 계산복잡도를 낮춘다. 각 단계마다 볼록 정점(Convex Vertex)만을 판별하는 조건을 이용하여 한 번의 스캔으로 온전한 Convex Set이 구한다. 알고리즘 초기에 점집합의 정렬이 필요한데, 이때 걸리는 시간이 알고리즘 전체 동작시간의 대부분을 차지하는 만큼, 특성에 맞는 방법을 사용하여 빠르게 정렬하였다. 일반적인 상황을 가정하고 점집합을 랜덤하게 구성하여 실험하였으며 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 약 두 배의 속도 향상이 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we suggest an improved Convex Hull algorithm considering sort in plane point set. This algorithm has low computational complexity since processing data are reduced by characteristic of extreme points. Also it obtains a complete convex set with just one processing using an convex vertex discrimination criterion. Initially it requires sorting of point set. However we can't quickly sort because of its heavy operations. This problem was solved by replacing value and index. We measure the execution time of algorithms by generating a random set of points. The results of the experiment show that it is about 2 times faster than the existing algorithm.

The Snakes and GVF used to find object edges dynamically have assigned their initial contour arbitrarily. If the initial contours are located in the neighboring regions of object edges, Snakes and GVF can be close to the true boundary. If not, these will likely to converge to the wrong result. Therefore, this paper proposes a new initialization of Snakes and GVF using convex hull approximation, which initializes the vertex of Snakes and GVF as a convex polygonal contour near object edges. In simulation result, we show that the proposed algorithm has a faster convergence to object edges than the existing methods. Our algorithm also has the advantage of extracting whole edges in real images.

Consider a non-degenerate open convex cone C with vertex the origin in the $n$2-dimensional Euclidean space $E^n$. We study volume properties of strictly convex hypersurfaces in the cone C. As a result, for example, if the volume of the region of an elliptic cone C cut off by the tangent hyperplane P of M at $p$ is independent of the point $p{\in}M$, then it is shown that the hypersurface M is part of an elliptic hyperboloid.

Given a connected graph G, we say that a set EC\;{\subseteq}\;V(G)$ is convex in G if, for every pair of vertices x, $y\;{\in}\;C$, the vertex set of every x - y geodesic in G is contained in C. The convexity number of G is the cardinality of a maximal proper convex set in G. In this paper, we show that every pair k, n of integers with $2\;{\leq}k\;{\leq}\;n\;-\;1$ is realizable as the convexity number and order, respectively, of some connected triangle-free graph, and give a lower bound for the convexity number of k-regular graphs of order n with n > k+1.

Consider the Convex Polygon Pm={Al , A2, ‥‥, Am} With Vertex points A$\_$i/ = (a$\_$i/, b$\_$i/),i : 1,‥‥, m, interior P$\^$0/$\_$m/, and length of perimeter denoted by L(P$\_$m/). Let R$\_$n/ = {B$_1$,B$_2$,‥‥,B$\_$n/), where B$\_$i/=(x$\_$i/,y$\_$I/), i =1,‥‥, n, denote a regular polygon with n sides of equal length and equal interior angle. Kaiser[4] used the regular polygon R$\_$n/ to approximate P$\_$m/, and the problem examined in his work is to position R$\_$n/ with respect to P$\_$m/ to minimize the area of the symmetric difference between the two figures. In this paper we give the quality of a approximating regular polygon R$\_$n/ to approximate P$\_$m/.
