The Monk Line Segmentation (MLS) Dataset
No full text<p>Overview</p>
<p>The MLS dataset available from this page consists of 31 handwritten page scans. The dataset contains medieval, historical and contemporary manuscripts, and has the purpose of testing line-segmentation algorithms. The collection contains a wide variation of the common problems in handwriting recognition: lines with overlapping ascenders/descenders, slightly rotated scans and curved base lines. <br>

Monk Picnic
No full textOn his first day in Bhutan, the author remembers witnessing a sunrise and meeting monk Tenzin. They embark on a journey to a monk picnic, welcomed warmly by Buddhist nuns into a van. The author’s clumsy attempt to offer khadar causes laughter, but the accomplished master kindly corrects him. They enjoy a colorful feast, share laughter, and forget their ride home. Tenzin expresses gratitude, and the author reciprocates, walking back, shoes muddy but heart aglow. The author considers the sunset\u27s promise of many more suns and moons to come in the Kingdom. A tale of friendship, laughter, humility and cultural exchange
Stabilized interior penalty methods for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations
No full textWe propose stabilized interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods for the indefinite
time–harmonic Maxwell system. The methods are based on a mixed formulation of the
boundary value problem chosen to provide control on the divergence of the electric field.
We prove optimal error estimates for the methods in the special case of smooth coefficients
and perfectly conducting boundary using a duality approach.Supported in part by the NSF (Grant DMS-9807491) and by the Supercomputing Institute
of the University of Minnesota. This work was carried out when the author was visiting
the School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota
