Separation approach for numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in estimation problem

Abstract The paper deals with a filter design for nonlinear continuous stochastic systems with discrete-time measurements. The general recursive solution is given by the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) and by the Bayesian rule. The stress is laid on computation of the predictive conditional probability density function from FPE. A new usable numerical scheme is designed. In the scheme, the separation technique based on an upwind volume method and a finite difference method for hyperbolic and parabolic part FPE is used. The approach is illustrated in some numerical examples.
Introduction to Graph Coloring

A k-coloring of a graphG = (V,E) is a functionc : V → C, where|C| = k. (Most often we use C = [k].) Vertices of the same color form a color class. A coloring isproper if adjacent vertices have different colors. A graph isk-colorableif there is a proper k-coloring. Thechromatic number χ(G) of a graphG is the minimumk such thatG is k-colorable. Let H andG be graphs. Thedisjoint unionG+H of G andH is the graph whose vertices and edges are disjoint unions of vertices and edges of G andH, respectively. Thejoin G ∨ H of simple graphsG andH is obtain fromG + H by adding all edges of the form(u, v), with u ∈ V (G), v ∈ V (H). The cartesian product G2H of G andH is the graph with vertex set V (G) × V (H) and edges of the form ((u, v), (u′, v′)), where eitheru = u′ and(v, v′) ∈ E(H), v = v′ and(u, u′) ∈ E(G).
IOS safety application for UiTM

This paper presents an iOS application, which is developed, to ensure that every task related to safety and health such as inspection, deviation analysis and accident reporting becomes more simple and easier. Normally, these three (3) tasks are done separately and the data are saved in different ways. These situations make the tasks become complicated and consume a lot of time. Therefore, this application is developed to overcome all the problems that occurred. The main objective of this application is to allow the user to handle inspection checklist, deviation analysis and accident reporting efficiently by using iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad. Hence, using iOS device, instead of using a lot of paper, can do all the tasks. Using Xcode SDK, which is the software that is used to develop iOS application, developed this application. Xcode use Objective-C as the programming language, which is quite similar with other programming languages such as C and C++. The final result of this project is that this application can handle all the three (3) tasks and the form or the findings can be emailed to the Safety and Health Officer (SHO). This application will reduce time consume to conduct safety inspection, deviation and reporting tasks as well as avoid delay that might happen while using the traditional method.
Evolutionary Learning of Afuzzy Behavior Based Controller for a Nonholonomic Mobile Robot in a Class of Dvnamic Environments

This paper presents an approach for evolving optimum behaviors for a nonholonomic mobile robot in a class of dynamic environments. A new evolutionary algorithm reflecting some powerful features in the natural evolutionary process to have flexibility to deal with changes in the environment is used to evolve optimum behaviors. Furthermore, a fuzzy set based multi-objective fitness evaluation function is adopted in the evolutionary algorithm. The multi-objective evaluation function is designed so that it allows incorporating complex linguistic f'eatures that a human observer would desire in the behaviors of the mobile robot movements. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results are compared using a conventional evolutionary algorithm.

VARIABLE RUPTURE MODE OF THE SUBDUCTION ZONE ALONG THE ECUADOR-COLOMBIA COAST

Three large earthquakes occurred within the rupture zone of the 1906 Colombia-Ecuador earthquake (M_W = 8.8): in 1942 (M_S = 7.9); 1958 (MS = 7.8); and 1979 (M_S = 7.7). We compared the size and mechanism of these earthquakes by using long-period surface waves, tsunami data, and macroseismic data. The 1979 event is a thrust event with a seismic moment of 2.9 × 10^(28) dyne-cm, and represents subduction of the Nazca plate beneath South America. The rupture length and direction are 230 km and N40°E, respectively. Examination of old seismograms indicates that the 1906 event is also a thrust event which ruptured in the northeast direction. The seismic moment estimated from the tsunami data and the size of the rupture zone is 2 × 10^(29) dyne-cm. The 1942 and 1958 events are much smaller (about 1/5 to 1/10 of the 1979 event in the seismic moment) than the 1979 event. We conclude that the sum of the seismic moments of the 1942, 1958, and 1979 events is only Formula of that of the 1906 event despite the fact that the sequence of the 1942, 1958, and 1979 events ruptured approximately the same segment as the 1906 event. This difference could be explained by an asperity model in which the fault zone is held by a discrete distribution of asperities with weak zones in between. The weak zone normally behaves aseismically, but slips abruptly only when it is driven by failure of the asperities. A small earthquake represents failure of one asperity, and the rupture zone is pinned at both ends by adjacent asperities so that the effective width and the amount of slip are relatively small. A great earthquake represents failure of more than one asperity, and consequently involves much larger width and slip.

A Comparative Study of Hierarchical ANFIS and ANN in Predicting Student Academic Performance

-The accurate prediction of student academic performance is of importance to institutions as it provides valuable information for decision making in the admission process and enhances educational services by allocating customized assistance according to the predictions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictive ability of two models: the hierarchical ANFIS and ANN. We used previous exam results and other factors, such as the location of the student’s high school and the student’s gender, as input variables, and predicted the student’s expected performance. The simulation results of the two models were then discussed and analyzed. It was found that the hierarchical ANFIS model outperformed the ANN model in the prediction of student academic performance. These results show the potential of the hierarchical ANFIS model as a predictor. It is expected that this work may be used to assist in student admission procedures and strengthen the service system in educational institutions.
İki uçlu bozukluk idame tedavisi

İki uçlu bozukluk (İUB) önemli yeti kaybına yol açan kronik, tekrarlayıcı bir duygudurum bozukluğudur. Yineleme riski nedeniyle tek manik atak sonrası idame tedaviye başlanmalıdır. İUB idame tedavisinin birincil amacı depresif/manik atakların sıklığını, şiddetini ve psikososyal sonuçlarını azaltma ve ataklar arasındaki psikososyal işlevselliği artırmaktır. İdame tedavi baskın olan duygudurum atağının tipine göre düzenlenmeli ve monoterapi tercih edilmelidir. Monoterapide duygudurum düzenleyicileri veya atipik antipsikotikler kullanılmaktadır. Lityum (Li) ve valproat manik atakları, lamotrijin ise depresif atakları önlemede daha etkilidir. Atipik antipsikotiklerden olanzapin, aripiprazol, ziprasidon, risperidon manik atakları önlemede üstün iken, ketiyapin hem depresif hem de manik atakların kontrol edilmesinde daha yararlı bulunmuştur. Monoterapinin yeterli olmadığı durumlarda Li veya valproat+lamotrijin, Li veya valproat+ketiyapin ve Li veya valproat+aripiprazol kombinasyonları kullanılabilir.
Chapter 18: Quantitative Genetics I – Important Concepts Continuous Variation

In the chapter on Mendel and Morgan, we saw how the transmission of genes from one generation to another follows a precise mathematical formula. The traits discussed in that chapter, however, were discrete traits—peas are either yellow or green, someone either has a disorder or does not have a disorder. But many behavioral traits are not like these clear-cut, have-it-or-don’t-have-it phenotypes. People vary from being quite shy to very outgoing. But is shyness a discrete trait or merely a descriptive adjective for one end of a continuous distribution? In this chapter, we will discuss the genetics of quantitative, continuously distributed phenotypes.
A Zero-overhead Self-timed 160ns 54b CMOS Divider

This circuit demonstrates a self-timed iterating ring which attains the speed of a combinational array while using only a fraction of the silicon area. The stages in the ring compute mantissa quotient digits for a floating-point division operation. Unlike circuits which implement self-timing by using a matched on-chip clock generator to provide an internal clock for synchronous blocks, the circuit of this paper uses local control handshaking between fully asynchronous blocks and will operate correctly for any values of gate delays. ' To avoid embedded in the data throughout the design by using dual-requiring matching path delays, complction information is monotonic wire pairs. The precharged function blocks use merged n-channel pull-down networks to choose which of thc wires in each pair to set high. nous pipeline by looping data from its output back to its input.

Minimallatency is achievcdinthis chip by directly concatenating precharged logic blocks into a looped domino chain without adding any explicit latches. The prc-charge (reset) signals for each block are controlled separately so each block can be used as an implicit latch without adding any additional transistors. The self-timed control is designed to precharge each block after data passes it, and to remove its precharge enabling its evaluation, before data loops around to its inputs again. A graph-based method is used to analyze the inter-block dependencies and aids in keeping the critical path solely within the combinational data elements. of which is internally composed of precharged blocks. 4 key t o Theringisorganizedasaseriesofadjoiningstageseach removing extra control dependencies which could degrade utilize and encompass the time taken by lhecontrol so its delay performance is t o place enough stages in the loop to fully is completely hidden.

Thus, the data flow continually at the same rate it would flow through an " unwrapped " combinational array implementing the same functions.

TIME – VARYING SLIDING MODE FLOW CONTROL STRATEGY FOR CONNECTION – ORIENTED COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

In this paper a new sliding mode flow control strategy for the connectionoriented communication networks is proposed. The networks are modelled as discrete time systems with the available bandwidth acting as disturbance. The strategy employs a time-varying sliding surface, which helps reduce the initial flow rate magnitude. The proposed controller is designed in such a way that the closed-loop system stability and finite time error convergence are ensured. We demonstrate that the designed controller guarantees no bottleneck link buffer overflow and full utilization of its available bandwidth. Furthermore, transmission rates generated by the controller are always upper bounded and non-negative.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF RADIO LINK PROTOCOL USING FOUR- STATE MARKOV MODEL

Wireless network analysis and simulations rely on simple yet accurate physical layer models. Two state Marko v model, which has been widely used to model bursty communication channels, may be inadequate for the representation of some time-varying channels. In th is paper, an analytical model of the Negative Acknowledge (NA K)based selective repeat (SR) Automatic Repeat Reques t (ARQ) of Radio Link Protocol (RLP) is enhanced usin g four state Markov model for the Wireless Physical Layer. The RLP performance over a pair of Markov channels considering imperfect feedback is analyzed with the aim to drive adequate formulae for residual FER, data thro ughput and expected delay as a function of physical layer FER and normalized Doppler bandwidth.
Results towards Showing Z N P Is a Ci-group

It has been shown that Zp is a CI-group for 1 ≤ i ≤ 4, and is not a CI-group for i ≥ 2p−1+ (2p−1 p ) ; all other values (except when p = 2 and i = 5, which is CI) are open. The results presented in this paper are useful in any attempt to prove that Zp is a CI-group. In fact, they provide complete and elementary proofs that Zp, Zp and Zp are CI-groups. In 1967, Ádám conjectured [1] that two Cayley graphs of Zn are isomorphic if and only if they are isomorphic by a group automorphism of Zn. Although this conjecture was disproven by Elspas and Turner three years later [8], the problem and its generalizations have subsequently aroused considerable interest. Much of this interest has been focused on the Cayley Isomorphism Problem, which asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for two Cayley graphs on the same group to be isomorphic. Particular attention has been paid to determining which groups G have the property that two Cayley graphs of G are isomorphic if and only if they are isomorphic by a group automorphism of G. Such a group is called a CI-group (CI stands for Cayley Isomorphism). One major angle from which the Cayley Isomorphism problem was considered was the question of which cyclic groups are in fact CI-groups. The problem raised by Ádám’s conjecture has now been completely solved by Muzychuk [14] and [15]. He proves that a cyclic group of order n is a CI-group if and only if n = k, 2k or 4k where k is odd and square-free. The proof uses Schur rings and is very technical. Many special cases were obtained independently along the way to this result. One other major branch of study of the Cayley Isomorphism problem has focused on elementary abelian groups. In [5], Babai and Frankl asked whether or not all elementary abelian groups are CI-groups. In 1992, Lewis Nowitz constructed a Cayley graph on Z2 that is not a CI-graph, thus showing that not all elementary abelian groups are CI-groups. Alspach provided a simpler proof of the Nowitz result in [2]. From the other side of things, Turner [17] proved that Zp is a CI-group; Godsil [9] proved that Zp is a CI-group, and Dobson [7] provided the first proof that Zp is a CI-group. A more elementary proof that Zp is a CI-group is provided by Alspach and Nowitz in [3], and the results presented here extend their techniques. Muzychuk’s work was also key to this aspect of

We axiomatize a recursive representation of choice over state contingent infinite horizon consumption problems, where uncertainty about consumption utilities depends on the observable state and the state follows a subjective Markov process. The parameters of the representation are the subjective process that governs the evolution of beliefs over consumption utilities and the discount factor; they are uniquely identified from behavior. We characterize a natural notion of greater preference for flexibility in terms of a dilation of beliefs. An important special case of our representation is a recursive version of the Anscombe– Aumann model with parameters that include a subjective Markov process over states and state-dependent utilities, all of which are uniquely identified.
