A New Class of Incremental Gradient Methods for Least Squares Problems
Authors: Dimitri P. Bertsekas
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

The least mean squares (LMS) method for linear least squares problems differs from the steepest descent method in that it processes data blocks one-by-one, with intermediate adjustment of the parameter vector under optimization. This mode of operation often leads to faster convergence when far from the eventual limit and to slower (sublinear) convergence when close to the optimal solution. We embed both LMS and steepest descent, as well as other intermediate methods, within a one-parameter class of algorithms, and we propose a hybrid class of methods that combine the faster early convergence rate of LMS with the faster ultimate linear convergence rate of steepest descent. These methods are well suited for neural network training problems with large data sets. Furthermore, these methods allow the effective use of scaling based, for example, on diagonal or other approximations of the Hessian matrix.

Regular Synthesis and Sufficiency Conditions for Optimality
Authors: Benedetto Piccoli, Héctor J. Sussmann
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

We propose a definition of "regular synthesis" that is more general than those suggested by other authors such as Boltyanskii [SIAM J. Control Optim, 4 (1966), pp. 326--361] and Brunovský [Math. Slovaca, 28 (1978), pp. 81--100], and an even more general notion of "regular presynthesis." We give a complete proof of the corresponding sufficiency theorem, a slightly weaker version of which had been stated in an earlier article, with only a rough outline of the proof. We illustrate the strength of our result by showing that the optimal synthesis for the famous Fuller problem satisfies our hypotheses. We also compare our concept of synthesis with the simpler notion of a "family of solutions of the closed-loop equation arising from an optimal feedback law," and show by means of examples why the latter is inadequate, and why the difficulty cannot be resolved by using other concepts of solution---such as Filippov solutions, or the limits of sample-and-hold solutions recently proposed as feedback solutions by Clarke et al. [IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, 42 (1997), pp. 1394--1407]---for equations with a non-Lipschitz and possibly discontinuous right-hand side.

XVCL: a tutorial
Authors: Soe Myat Swe, Hongyu Zhang, Stan Jarzabek
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

XVCL (XML-based Variant Configuration Language) is a general-purpose mark-up language for configuring variants in programs and other types of documents. We can apply XVCL to configure variants in a variety of software assets such as software architecture, program code, test cases, technical and user-level program documentation or requirement specifications. The principles of the XVCL have been thoroughly tested in practice. XVCL is based on the same concepts as the frame technology [1]. Frame technology has been extensively applied in industry to manage variants and evolve multi-million-line, COBOL-based, information systems. An independent analysis showed that frame technology has reduced large software project costs by over 84% and their times-to-market by 70%, when compared to industry norms [1, 2]. At the same time, we found that the principles of XVCL are not easy to communicate. In this paper, we describe a subset of XVCL. We trust this subset of XVCL is easy to understand and still effectively communicates essential XVCL concepts. To illustrate the XVCL method, we further describe an XVCL solution to handling variants in a Notepad system.
The Immersed Interface/Multigrid Methods for Interface Problems
Authors: Loyce Adams, Zhilin Li
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

New multigrid methods are developed for the maximum principle preserving immersed interface method applied to second order linear elliptic and parabolic PDEs that involve interfaces and discontinuities. For elliptic interface problems, the multigrid solver developed in this paper works while some other multigrid solvers do not. For linear parabolic equations, we have developed the second order maximum principle preserving finite difference scheme in this paper. We use the Crank--Nicolson scheme to deal with the diffusion part and an explicit scheme for the first order derivatives. Numerical examples are also presented.

On the Computational Complexity of Upward and Rectilinear Planarity Testing
Authors: Ashim Garg, Roberto Tamassia
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2002)

A directed graph is upward planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is a monotonically increasing curve in the vertical direction and no two edges cross. An undirected graph is rectilinear planar if it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is a horizontal or vertical segment and no two edges cross. Testing upward planarity and rectilinear planarity are fundamental problems in the effective visualization of various graph and network structures. For example, upward planarity is useful for the display of order diagrams and subroutine-call graphs, while rectilinear planarity is useful for the display of circuit schematics and entity-relationship diagrams. We show that upward planarity testing and rectilinear planarity testing are NP-complete problems. We also show that it is NP-hard to approximate the minimum number of bends in a planar orthogonal drawing of an n-vertex graph with an $O(n^{1-\epsilon})$ error for any $\epsilon > 0$.
A discipline for robustness or storage reduction in binary search trees
Authors: J. Ian Munro, Patricio V. Poblete
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD symposium on Principles of database systems (1983)

We develop a method of representing binary search trees in an environment in which pointers and other structural information may be "lost" or "maliciously altered". Our fault tolerant representation permits any 2 field changes to be detected and any 1 to be corrected without significantly increasing to storage requirements of the binary tree. The detection and correction procedures applied to the entire tree require 0(n) time.Our discipline is also used to represent binary search trees with a single pointer per datum without altering the cost of searching or updating. While our scheme can be applied in conjunction with any underlying tree balancing scheme ([AVL], bounded balance [Nievergelt et al] etc), if no balancing scheme is employed, the trees we form will have significantly shorter search paths than those formed using the straightforward algorithm.

Performance estimation for real-time distributed embedded systems
Authors: Ti-Yen Yen, Wayne Wolf
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

Many embedded computing systems are distributed systems: communicating processes executing on several CPUs/ASICs. This paper describes a performance analysis algorithm for a set of tasks executing on a heterogeneous distributed system. Tight bounds are essential to the synthesis and verification of application-specific distributed systems, such as embedded computing systems. Our bounding algorithms are valid for a general problem model: The system can contain several tasks with hard real-time deadlines and different periods; each task is partitioned into a set of processes related by data dependencies. The periods of tasks and the computation times of processes are not necessarily constant and can be specified by a lower bound and an upper bound. Such a model requires a more sophisticated algorithm, but leads to more accurate results than previous work. Our algorithm both provides tighter bounds and is faster than previous methods.

Operating Systems, 5th edition
Authors: William S. Davis, T. M. Rajkumar
Venue:  (2000)

:B> The fifth edition of Operating Systems: A Systematic View offers a practical and applied introduction to operating system concepts, aimed at people interested in using computers, operating systems, and networks. The authors take a "systematic view" of the subject, where they provide insight into what is going on beneath the surface instead of focusing so much on OS theory. The intent is to show why operating systems are needed and what, at a functional level, they do. The book features an engaging, reader-friendly presentation written at a pace and level appropriate for novices, and contains extensive illustrations to visually reinforce concepts. Readers are guided through some of today's most widely used operating systems, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows 2000. Also included is coverage of several modern topics and technologies, with chapters on the Windows interface, Intel Pentium architecture, and Windows internals, as well as a section on network operating systems with chapters on client/server networks, Windows 2000, Novell, and the Internet. This book is designed for people from non-technical fields and backgrounds who simply need to know how to interact with, rather than how to design, an operating system. It requires no background in programming and only a working knowledge of basic algebra. It will also be of interest to computer programmers, technical managers, and applied practitioners who want a practical and applied introduction to operating systems.
Recovering software requirements from system-user interaction traces
Authors: Mohammad El-Ramly, Eleni Stroulia, Paul Sorenson
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

As software systems age, the requirements that motivated their original development get lost. Requirements documentation is unavailable or obsolete. Recapturing these requirements is critical for software reengineering activities. In our CelLEST process we adopt a data-mining approach to this problem and attempt to discover patterns of frequent similar episodes in the sequential run-time traces of the legacy user-interface behavior. These patterns constitute operational models of the application's functional requirements, from the end-user perspective. We have developed an algorithm, IPM, for interaction-pattern discovery. This algorithm discovers patterns that meet a user-specified criterion and is robust to insertion errors, caused by user mistakes or by the availability of alternative scenarios for the same user task. In this paper, we discuss IPM and we evaluate it with a case study.
