We present a new method for constructing joint probability distributions of continuous random variables using isoprobability contours--sets of points with the same joint cumulative probability. This approach reduces the joint probability assessment into a one-dimensional cumulative probability...

We study thep olytopes of binary n-strings that encode (positive) integers that are not divisible by a particular positive integer p - the indivisibility polytopes, as well as the more general "clipped cubes". Also, we discuss a potential application to factoring. Finally, we present some...

The reliability with which a neuron is able to create the same firing pattern when presented with the same stimulus is of critical importance to the understanding of neuronal information processing. We show that reliability is closely related to the process of phaselocking. Experimental results...
