Simple sufficient condition for subspace to be completely or genuinely entangled

The criterion is applicable to both completely and genuinely entangled subspaces. We...

Robust estimation of deformation from observation differences for free control networks
PublicationDeformation measurements have a repeatable nature. This means that deformation measurements are performed often with the same equipment, methods, geometric conditions and in a similar environment in epochs 1 and 2 (e.g., a fully automated, continuous control measurements). It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that the results of deformation measurements can be distorted by both random errors and by some non-random errors, which...
