Although contact geometry and topology is briefly discussed in V I Arnol’d’s book �Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics �(Springer-Verlag, 1989, 2nd edition), it still remains a domain of research in pure mathematics, e.g.see the recent monograph by H Geiges �An Introduction to Contact Topology� (Cambridge U Press, 2008). Some attempts to use contact geometry in…
Data mining is becoming a pervasive technology in activities as diverse as using historical data to predict the success of a marketing campaign, looking for patterns in financial transactions to discover illegal activities or analyzing genome sequences. From this perspective, it was just a matter of time for the discipline to reach the important area…
