We generalize the classical Legendre-Hadamard conditions by using quadratic extensions of the energy around a set of two configurations and obtain new algebraic necessary conditions for nonsmooth strong local minimizers. The implied bounds of stability are easily accessible as we illustrate on a nontrivial example where quasiconvexification is unknown.

1 Abstract Minecraft has been the focus of much AI research in past years. Most recently, interest has risen in procedural generation of settlements in Minecraft, largely due to a annual competition established in 2018 called the Generative Design in Minecraft Competition. Inspired by this recent research, we aim to develop a set of algorithms that are capable of building a realistic ...

Randy Goldson* The demand for climate reparations is a bold and necessary step in addressing the uneven burden of climate change. While the predominant state-centered, North-South formulation of climate reparations has value, this Comment argues that the nation-state cannot be the exclusive recipient of climate reparations by highlighting the work of TWAIL scholars who have shown that the ...

1 Introduction Most collision detection algorithms, such as OBBTree [Gottschalk96], sphere hier-archies [Hubbard96] and BV-trees [Klosowski97], try to minimize the number of primitive-primitive intersections that have to be computed. Still, a fast and reliable method for computing the primitive-primitive intersection is desired. Since render-ing hardware is often targeted for triangles, the ...

A. January 12, 2010 When I began this comment, Haiti, a country only slightly larger than the state of Maryland and the poorest country in the western hemisphere,1 was hardly more than a blip on the world’s radar. But on January 12, 2010, the world was forced to take notice of Haiti as it suffered the worst natural disaster it had ever faced in its 200-year history: a catastrophic 7.0 ...

Since neither Plato’s nor the general sense of “sophist” encourages an account of sophistic method and practice, it is questionable whether there is an alternative approach. The follow-ing discussion offers a sort of middle course by suggesting alterations to Plato’s sense of “sophist” that in turn yield a subset of sophists in the general sense. What is ultimately important here ...

In the discussions on the limitation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are three major misconceptions, which identify an AI system with an ax-iomatic system, a Turing machine, and a system with a model-theoretic se-mantics, respectively. Though these three notions can be used to describe a computer system for certain purposes, they are not always the proper theoretical notions when an AI ...

The board of directors of a corporation is meant to perform the critical functions of monitoring and advising top management (Mace 1971). Conventional wisdom holds that monitoring by the board is more effective when the board consists of majority of independent directors. The empirical evidence on the connection between board independence and firm performance, however, is mixed and weak, as is ...
