Recovery and Resource Allocation Strategies to Maximize Mobile Network Survivability by Using Game Theories and Optimization Techniques by Pei-Yu Chen, Frank Yeong-Sung Lin

“…In this paper, a novel metric called Average Degree of Disconnectivity (Average DOD) is proposed, in which the concept of probability is calculated by the contest success function. The DOD metric is used to evaluate the damage degree of the network, where the larger the value of the Average DOD, the more the damage degree of the network. …”

Fast Decomposition Algorithm Based on Two-Dimensional Wavelet Transform for Image Processing of Graphic Design by Feifei Jiang, Wenting Yao

“…Firstly, the second-order decomposition of the image is performed by wavelet function to obtain the low-frequency components of the image, and the wavelet gradient vector is used to extract feature points from the overlapping regions of the low-frequency image so that the transformation parameters of feature points can be obtained quickly under the low-frequency image to guide the feature point extraction under the high-frequency image; on this basis, an improved algorithm of image processing based on the fast decomposition algorithm of two-dimensional wavelet transform with planar design is proposed. …”
