Analytic aspects and practical pitfalls in technical applications of AD
Authors: Florian Dignath, Peter Eberhard, Axel Fritz
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

We apply AD to three technical problems form multibody dynamics, vehicle dynamics and finite element material modeling. The multibody dynamics application investigates threshold and maximum-value optimization criteria in direct representation using AD for the sensitivity analysis. Secondly, an adaptive cruise controller of a vehicle convoy is optimized with respect to control error and control effort. Two experimental cars equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and actuators are used to verify the designed controllers. Since the engine voltage of the actuator is restricted to 10V, there are non-differentiable points in the time trajectory, but AD technique can still be used. Thirdly, AD is used for the evaluation of constitutive relations for hyperelastic materials. Some important continuum mechanical quantities correspond to the first and second derivatives of the scalar stored energy function with respect to the strain tensor. These quantities can be derived analytically using complicated analysis but it is fascinating that with minimal preparation and only a few mathematical insights exactly the same values can be computed using AD methods.

Structured Pseudospectra for Polynomial Eigenvalue Problems, with Applications
Authors: Françoise Tisseur, Nicholas J. Higham
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Pseudospectra associated with the standard and generalized eigenvalue problems have been widely investigated in recent years. We extend the usual definitions in two respects, by treating the polynomial eigenvalue problem and by allowing structured perturbations of a type arising in control theory. We explore connections between structured pseudospectra, structured backward errors, and structured stability radii. Two main approaches for computing pseudospectra are described. One is based on a transfer function and employs a generalized Schur decomposition of the companion form pencil. The other, specific to quadratic polynomials, finds a solvent of the associated quadratic matrix equation and thereby factorizes the quadratic $\lambda$-matrix. Possible approaches for large, sparse problems are also outlined. A collection of examples from vibrating systems, control theory, acoustics, and fluid mechanics is given to illustrate the techniques.

E-optimal Spring Balance Weighing Designs for $n \equiv -1\ (\mod4)$ Objects
Authors: Michael G. Neubauer, William Watkins
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2002)

Let $n \equiv -1\ (\mod{4})$ be a positive integer with $n \geq 7$ and let Mm,n(0,1) be the set of all m &times; n (0,1)-matrices. Let E(m,n) be the largest minimum eigenvalue for a matrix $X^TX$ with $X \in M_{m,n}(0,1)$. Let m=nt+r, where $0 \leq r [ E(nt+r,n)\leq\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)t+ \left\lfloor \frac{r}{4} \right\rfloor, \] with equality for sufficiently large m. For r=n-4, we show that \[ E(nt+r,n) \leq \left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)t+ \left\lfloor \frac{r}{4} \right\rfloor +\frac{1}{n} \] and for sufficiently large m, \[ \left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)t+ \left\lfloor \frac{r}{4} \right\rfloor +\frac{1}{n} -\frac{4}{tn^3} Similar inequalities are given for the case n=3.
Which Eigenvalues Are Found by the Lanczos Method?
Authors: A. B. J. Kuijlaars
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

When discussing the convergence properties of the Lanczos iteration method for the real symmetric eigenvalue problem, Trefethen and Bau noted that the Lanczos method tends to find eigenvalues in regions that have too little charge when compared to an equilibrium distribution. In this paper a quantitative version of this rule of thumb is presented. We describe, in an asymptotic sense, the region containing those eigenvalues that are well approximated by the Ritz values. The region depends on the distribution of eigenvalues and on the ratio between the size of the matrix and the number of iterations, and it is characterized by an extremal problem in potential theory which was first considered by Rakhmanov. We give examples showing the connection with the equilibrium distribution.
JASMINE: A Java Tool for Multimedia Collaboration on the Internet
Authors: Shervin Shirmohammadi, Abdulmotaleb El Saddik, Nicolas D. Georganas, Ralf Steinmetz
Venue: Multimedia Tools and Applications (2003)

Although collaboration tools have existed for a long time [8], Internet-based multimedia collaboration has recently received a lot of attention mainly due to easy accessibility of the Internet by ordinary users. The Java platform and programming language has also introduced yet another level of easy access&colon; platform-independent computing. As a result, it is very attractive to use Java to design multimedia collaboration systems for the Internet. Today there are many systems, which use Java for multimedia collaboration. However, most of these systems require the shared Java application to be re-written according to the collaboration system&apos;s Application Programming Interface (API)&mdash;a task which is sometimes difficult or even impossible. In this paper, we describe a practical approach for transparent collaboration with Java. Our approach is transparent in that the Java application can be shared as is with no modifications. The main idea behind our system is that user events occurring through the interactions with the application can be caught, distributed, and reconstructed, hence allowing Java applications to be shared transparently. Our architecture allows us to make the huge installed base of Java applications collaborative, without any modification to their original code. We also prove the feasibility of our architecture by implementation of the JASMINE1 prototype.
Creating a massive master index for HTML and print
Authors: Dan Scott, Ronnie Seagren
Venue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international conference on Computer documentation (2002)

An index connects readers with information. Creating an index for a single book is a time-honored craft. Creating an index for a massive library of HTML topics is a modern craft that has largely been discarded in favor of robust search engines. The authors show how they optimized a single-sourced index for collections of HTML topics, printed books, and PDF books. With examples from a recent index of 24,000 entries for 7,000 distinct HTML topics also published as 40 different PDF books, the authors discuss the connections between modern technology and traditional information retrieval methods that made the index possible, usable, and efficient to create and maintain.
Java Threads, Second Edition, 2nd edition
Authors: Scott Oaks, Henry Wong
Venue:  (1999)

:Threads aren't a new idea: many operating systems and languages support them. But despite widespread support, threads tend to be something that everyone talks about, but few use. Programming with threads has a reputation for being tricky and nonportable. Not so with Java. Java's thread facilities are easy to use, and -- like everything else in Java -- are completely portable between platforms. And that's a good thing, because it's impossible to write anything but the simplest applet without encountering threads. If you want to work with Java, you have to learn about threads. This new edition shows you how to take full advantage of Java's thread facilities: where to use threads to increase efficiency, how to use them effectively, and how to avoid common mistakes. Java Threads, 2nd Edition discusses problems like deadlock, race condition, and starvation in detail, helping you to write code without hidden bugs. It brings you up to date with the latest changes in the thread interface for JDK 1.2. The book offers a thorough discussion of the Thread and ThreadGroup classes, the Runnable interface, the language's synchronized operator. It explains thread scheduling ends by developing a CPUSchedule class, showing you how to implement your own scheduling policy. In addition, Java Threads, 2nd Edition shows you how to extend Java's thread primitives. Other extended examples include classes that implement reader/writer locks, general locks, locks at arbitrary scope, and asynchronous I/O. This edition also adds extensive examples on thread pools, advanced synchronization technique, like condition variables, barriers, and daemon locks. It shows how to work with classes that are not thread safe, and pays special attention to threading issues with Swing. A new chapter shows you how to write parallel code for multiprocessor machines. In short, Java Threads, 2nd Edition covers everything you need to know about threads, from the simplest animation applet to the most complex applications. If you plan to do any serious work in Java, you will find this book invaluable. Examples available online. Covers Java 2.

Enhanced word-based block-sorting text compression
Authors: R. Yugo Kartono Isal, Alistair Moffat, Alwin C. H. Ngai
Venue: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth Australasian conference on Computer science - Volume 4 (2002)

The Block Sorting process of Burrows and Wheeler can be applied to any sequence in which symbols are (or might be) conditioned upon each other. In particular, it is possible to parse text into a stream of words, and then employ block sorting to identify and so exploit any conditioning relationships between words. In this paper we build upon the previous work of two of the authors, describing several further recency rank transformations, and considering also the role of the entropy coder. By combining the best of the new recency transformations with an entropy coder that conditions ranks upon gross characteristics of previous ones, we are able to obtain improved compression on typical text files.
Computing Periodic Orbits and their Bifurcations with Automatic Differentiation
Authors: John Guckenheimer, Brian Meloon
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

This paper formulates several algorithms for the direct computation of periodic orbits as solutions of boundary value problems. The algorithms emphasize the use of coarse meshes and high orders of accuracy. Convergence theorems are given in the limit of increasing order with a fixed mesh. The algorithms are implemented with the use of MATLAB and ADOL-C, a software package for automatic differentiation. Automatic differentiation enables accurate computation of high-order derivatives of functions without the truncation errors inherent in finite difference calculations. We embed the algorithms in a continuation framework and extend them to compute saddle-node bifurcations of periodic orbits directly. We present data from numerical studies of four test problems, making some comparisons with other methods for computing periodic orbits. These results demonstrate that high-order methods based upon automatic differentiation are capable of high precision with small meshes.

Gilding the Lily: A Variant of the Nelder-Mead Algorithm Based on Golden-Section Search
Authors: Larry Nazareth, Paul Tseng
Venue: Computational Optimization and Applications (2002)

We propose a variant of the Nelder-Mead algorithm derived from a reinterpretation of univariate golden-section direct search. In the univariate case, convergence of the variant can be analyzed analogously to golden-section search. In the multivariate case, we modify the variant by replacing strict descent with fortified descent and maintaining the interior angles of the simplex bounded away from zero. Convergence of the modified variant can be analyzed by applying results for a fortified-descent simplicial search method. Some numerical experience with the variant is reported.
Digital libraries and information retrieval
Authors: Ingeborg Torvik Sølvberg
Venue: Lectures on information retrieval (2001)

The main objective of any Digital Library (DL) is to fulfill the needs of its users. A primary necessity is to make digital objects accessible using a computer network. A crucial part for Digital Libraries is that its information is managed, persistent and reliable. A Digital Library consists of digital collections, a working environment, and technology and services. A general problem is Information Discovery; how to find information in the Internet world. Digital Libraries comprise diverse collections of digital objects representing text, sound, maps, videos, photos, etc. The use of metadata to describe digital objects will be discussed. Metadata is often divided into three categories: descriptive, structural and administrative, and hence supports additional work tasks than the classical IR. Different metadata formats (MARC, Dublin Core, and others), the IFLA model and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) are presented.
