Multiple nodal solutions of nonlinear Choquard equations

In this paper, we consider the existence of multiple nodal solutions of the nonlinear Choquard equation \begin{equation*} \ \ \ \ (P)\ \ \ \ \begin{cases} -\Delta u+u=(|x|^{-1}\ast|u|^p)|u|^{p-2}u \ \ \ \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}^3, \ \ \ \ \\ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3),\\ \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $p\in (\frac{5}{2},5)$. We show that for any positive integer $k$, problem $(P)$ has at least a radially symmetrical solution changing sign exactly $k$-times

Reading Scene Text in Deep Convolutional Sequences

We develop a Deep-Text Recurrent Network (DTRN) that regards scene text reading as a sequence labelling problem. We leverage recent advances of deep convolutional neural networks to generate an ordered high-level sequence from a whole word image, avoiding the difficult character segmentation problem. Then a deep recurrent model, building on long short-term memory (LSTM), is developed to robustly recognize the generated CNN sequences, departing from most existing approaches recognising each character independently. Our model has a number of appealing properties in comparison to existing scene text recognition methods: (i) It can recognise highly ambiguous words by leveraging meaningful context information, allowing it to work reliably without either pre- or post-processing; (ii) the deep CNN feature is robust to various image distortions; (iii) it retains the explicit order information in word image, which is essential to discriminate word strings; (iv) the model does not depend on pre-defined dictionary, and it can process unknown words and arbitrary strings. Codes for the DTRN will be available.Comment: To appear in the 13th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-16), 201
