Binary functionalization

It is convenient to introduce the growth function, g(n), defined as the maximum number of different binary functions realizable by a net on any set Af of n N-dimensionEil vectors. Since there are 2" possible dichotomies (see above), we know that g n) < 2 . Vapnik and Chervonenkis [vapnik71] studied the behavior of g n) and showed that g n) always starts out equaling 2 for small n, but that its growth rate slows down at a point n = dye called the VC-dimension. If dye = oo, then g(n) = 2" for all n. If dye is finite, however, then g(n) < + 1 and g n) does... 

Although the linear activation function passes more information from the input to a node to its output than a binary function does, it is of limited value in layered networks as two nodes in succession that both use a linear activation function are equivalent to a single node that employs the same function, thus adding an extra layer of nodes does not add to the power of the network. This limitation is removed by the use of curved activation functions. 

Of course, ocean surface condition substantially affects its gas exchange with the atmosphere. The size of basins covered in foam or white caps depends directly on a combination of parameters, such as wind speed, water temperature, and sea currents. Analysis of the statistical characteristics of the patchy pattern of the ocean surface made by many experts makes it possible to describe the percentage distribution of areas covered in foam (Sf) and white caps (Si) with the following binary functions of wind speed V (at a height of 10m) ... 

The hydrological data are synthesized via a four-level structure according to the seasons (block MWD). The velocity of current in the Bering Strait is estimated by the following binary function ... 

Assuming that in an alternative system of replication the transcription hydrogen bonding motif was also to be used in translation then the simplest solution would be for replicators to be composed of complementary hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. If one subunit contained a donor group and the second had an acceptor group the resulting replicator would have a binary function. 

Note that some operations, like NOT, work on a single number they re called unary. Most need two numbers and are called binary functions. Plus and minus signs can be either unary (in the number —3, the minus sign works on a single number) or binary (the minus sign connects two numbers in the expression 10 — 6). 

The channel state will be described by four binary functions each giving the probability of one of the possible events P(l, 1) is the probability of both pits being occupied with ions A P(0,0), both pits are vacant P(0,1) and P(l, 0), one of the pits is occupied and the other vacant. Ions may pass to and from the solution. The rate constants of these heterogeneous processes will be denoted by fci and fc2- Leaps between the pits in a channel occur with the speed V. Suppose the external potential (p applied to the membrane breaks up into (pi, external field sets ions A into directional motion. To calculate the rate of this process it is necessary to derive an equation for channel state probability. 

For each of the binary functions P, one can write a continuity equation accounting for all the allowed transitions from a given state to a state symbolized by other binary functions and back. The probabilities of transition from one state to another are, in fact, probabilities of the corresponding leaps of the penetrating ion A. We thus have a set of simultaneous equations for the binary functions ... 

In our system, instead of binary functions returning whether some intersections exist or not, a radial basis function is used to loosen intersection constraints. 

If the analysis pursues the objective of establishing the functioning of the system the analogous sets are called path sets. The set notation is only occasionally applied use of the associated binary functions is more common. 

The value of an assigned variable is computed by applying the binary function of the assigning operation to the values of the operand variables. The value of an input variable is symbolically defined using the function varinit VARS dfvalue. The recursion is well founded because the DAG property of data flow graphs prevents cyclic data dependencies. 

Let us have system with two diversified branches A, B with completely transparent behavior regarding all demands from the possible spectrum, i.e., for any demand x, failure or success of system branch can be predicted. This way, binary functions u)a(x) a < b(x) are assigned to the branches A, B, acquiring the value of 1, if the branch fads in response to the demand, and the value of 0 in the opposite case. For randomly generated demand x, the probabihties Pa, Pb of fail" ure of branches A, B, respectively, are given with the foUowing equation ... 

Here, WSN is seen as a system exhibiting a binary functioning behavior i.e one monitored point is covered and connected or not with binary sensors i.e. one sensor is in an active state (Tx, Rx, Idle) or not. For this kind of system, both importance measures RRW and RAW are commonly used (Youngblood, 2001). RRW of component i stands for Risk Reduction Worth and is defined by...

The Deutsch algorithm is used to test whether a binary function of one qubit is constant (/(0) = /( )) or balanced (/(O) /( )), without the need of computing the two possible values / (0) and / (1), separately, and then comparing their results, as it would be made in a classical computer [18]. 

The next step is to perform an unitary operation U/, which takes the two-qubit system from a generic state, x, y) to the state x,y f x)). This transformation x, y) -> x, y0 f x)) is nothing but the sum of the second qubit, the bottom line of the circuit, with f x), that is the computed function of the first qubit. The binary function, f x), is the one to be... 

Figure 5.1 Testing binary functions in a classical algorithm. The line on the left represents the input qubit and the line on the right the output qubit. In the upper set, the input is O , and in the lower set, it is 1 . (a) and (d) are constant, and (b) and (c) are balanced. Adapted with permission from [3].

The four possible binary functions are implemented by four unitary operators which correspond to 1 and CNOTi for the constant functions, and CNOT2 and NOT2 (i.e. applied on the second qubit) for the balanced ones. For instance, setting the first qubit to O , the corresponding NMR lines will always point upwards. Under one of the four transformations above, the second line can point either upwards, or downwards, depending on whether the second qubit has been flipped or not by the operation. The action of these operators was tested by Jones and Mosca in the original paper [3], for the case the first spin is in either 0 or 1 state. The result is shown in Figure 5.1. Notice that this test corresponds to a classical test of binary functions.
