Advanced measurement & verification (M&V), or M&V 2.0, is an energy data analysis method using advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) data in combination with analytics to quantify energy efficiency project savings. Advanced M&V is viewed as an enabler for underutilized behavioral, retrocommissioning, and holistic multi-measure efficiency efforts, ...
It is well known how to clarify whether there is a polynomial time simplex algorithm for linear programming (LP) is the most challenging open problem in optimization and discrete geometry. This paper gives a affirmative answer to this open question by the use of the parametric analysis technique that we recently proposed. We show that there is a si...
In 1982, Dr. Sam Vaknin pondered the idea of reconstructing physics based on time as a field. His idea appeared in his doctorate dissertation as an amendment to the Dirac spinor equation. Sam saw the Quantum Field Theory particles and momentum and energy as a result of the language of physics and of the way the human mind perceives reality and not ...
Discriminative features are crucial for several learning applications, such as object detection and classification. Neural networks are extensively used for extracting discriminative features of images and speech signals. However, the lack of large datasets in the haptics domain often limits the applicability of such techniques. This paper presents...
In Defective Coloring we are given a graph $G$ and two integers $\chi_d$, $\Delta^*$ and are asked if we can $\chi_d$-color $G$ so that the maximum degree induced by any color class is at most $\Delta^*$. We show that this natural generalization of Coloring is much harder on several basic graph classes. In particular, we show that it is NP-hard on ...
The Marchenko method can be applied on cross-sections of 3D data using a 2D algorithm, but only a full 3D implementation can properly retrieve all 3D effects present in the data. The 3D implementation of the iterative Marchenko method is in principle a straightforward extension of the 2D method, it only requires an additional surface integration di...
