Abstract :
An efficient system for structural analysis of handwritten mathematical expressions is proposed. To handle the problems caused by handwriting, this system is based on a soft-decision approach. This means that alternatives for the solution are generated during the analysis process if the relation between two symbols within the expression is ambiguous. Finally a string containing the mathematical information is generated and syntactical verified for each alternative. Strings failing this verification are considered as invalid
