Binocular rivalry is the perceptual dominance of one visual stimulus over another. Conventionally, binocular rivalry is induced using a mirror-stereoscope—a setup involving mirrors oriented at an angle to a display. The respective mirror planes...

Bioventing is a widely recognized technique for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. In this study, the objective was to identify an optimal mathematical model that balances accuracy and ease of implementation. A comprehensive...

Bacterial Vaginosis is a common disease and recurring public health problem. Additionally, this infection can trigger other sexually transmitted diseases. In the medical field, not all possible combinations among the pathogens of a possible case of B...

A class of zipper fractal functions is more versatile than corresponding classes of traditional and fractal interpolants due to a binary vector called a signature. A zipper fractal function constructed through a zipper iterated function system (IFS)...

Internal diffusion limited aggregation (IDLA) is a random aggregation model on a graph G, whose clusters are formed by random walks started in the origin (some fixed vertex) and stopped upon visiting a previously unvisited site. On the Sierpinski gas...

Breast cancer has become a global health problem, ranking first in incidences and fifth in mortality in women around the world. In Mexico, the first cause of death in women is breast cancer. This work uses deep learning techniques to discriminate bet...

This Special Issue was inspired by the 9th International Workshop on Numerical and Evolutionary Optimization (NEO 2021) held—due to the COVID-19 pandemic—as an online-only event from 8 to 10 September 2021 [...]

We establish rigorous estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of the spectra of Laplacians associated with Sierpiński lattices and infinite Sierpiński gaskets and other post-critically finite self-similar sets.

Robust and computationally efficient numeric algorithms are required to simulate the sintering process of complex ceramic components by means of the finite element method. This work focuses on a thermodynamically consistent sintering model capturing...

This paper introduced a comparison method for three explicitly defined intermediate encoding methods in generative design for two-dimensional soft robotic units. This study evaluates a conventional genetic algorithm with full access to removing eleme...

This paper addresses serialized approaches of the routing, modulation level, and spectrum assignment (RMLSA) problem in elastic optical networks, using multiple sequential sub-sets of requests, under Integer Linear Programming (ILP). The literature h...

Images or paintings with homogeneous colors may appear dull to the naked eye; however, there may be numerous details in the image that are expressed through subtle changes in color. This manuscript introduces a novel approach that can uncover these c...

This is a brief survey of selected results obtained using the “transversality method” developed for studying parametrized families of fractal sets and measures. We mostly focus on the early development of the theory, restricting ourselves...

Pulmonary diseases are a leading cause of illness and disability globally. While having access to hospitals or specialist clinics for investigations is currently the usual way to characterize the patient’s condition, access to medical services...

The distribution of the sum of negative binomial random variables has a special role in insurance mathematics, actuarial sciences, and ecology. Two methods to estimate this distribution have been published: a finite-sum exact expression and a series...
