Proximal mappings are essential in splitting algorithms for both convex and nonconvex optimization. In this paper, we show that proximal mappings of every prox-bounded function are nonexpansive if …
Analytics can help identify strategies to improve the equity and capacity of health services for populations. However, many government agencies experience challenges with heavy workloads, limited t…
The spectrally-sliced coherent receiver is an attractive solution for future optical access network applications where cost is a sensitive factor, as it enables reduced bandwidth of the analog fron…
In this paper, the arrays consist of series-connected monochromatic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are proposed as the transmitter and receiver to implement an LED-to-LED underwater wireless optical …
We propose an approach to utilize the natural spider dragline silk (SDS) as a flexible light waveguide integrated into an optic device. SDS is utilized as an air-clad biocompatible light waveguide …
Imitation learning has recently been applied to mimic the operation of a cameraman in existing autonomous camera systems. To imitate a certain demonstration video, existing methods require users to…
The two-stage stochastic linear complementarity problem (TSLCP), which can be regarded as a special and important reformulation of two-stage stochastic linear programming, has arisen in various fie…
Optic fiber sensors for refractive index (RI) measurement have brought about widespread attention in an extensive range owing to their unique properties. In this paper, we theoretically analyzed an…
Trapping nanoscale particles in a stable and non-destructive way is of great importance to life sciences. Near-field optical tweezers are a common way to trap nanoparticles. Here we propose and dem…
