Iterative Methods for a Class of Robust Control Problems in Fluid Mechanics
Authors: T. Tachim Medjo
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

In this article we consider a class of iterative methods for the numerical solutions of some robust control problems recently studied in [T. R. Bewley, R. Temam, and M. Ziane, Phys. D, 138 (2000), pp. 360--392]. These methods are based on repeated computations of the state and the adjoint equations. Using the properties of the control operator, we justify these methods and obtain estimates of their convergence rate. Numerical solutions of a robust control problem related to data assimilation in oceanography using these algorithms are also presented.

Positivity-Preserving Schemes in Multidimensions
Authors: Ambady Suresh
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The performance of the MUSCL--Hancock upwind scheme is examined on problems of two-dimensional advection. It is found that when the advection direction is skewed relative to the mesh, most discrete total variation (TVD) limiters give rise to large spurious oscillations near discontinuities. The cause of these oscillations is traced to reconstructions that are not bounded by neighboring cell averages. It is proved that if the reconstruction in each cell is bounded by the cell averages of first order neighbors, then the MUSCL--Hancock scheme is positivity preserving. A simple limiter that achieves such bounded reconstructions is presented next along with a variant that is uniformly second order accurate. Numerical experiments show that the new schemes are accurate and efficient and compare favorably with other schemes.

Rush Hour is PSAPCE-complete, or "Why you should generously tip parking lot attendants"
Authors: Gary William Flake, Eric B. Baum
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

Rush Hour is a children's game that consists of a grid board, several cars that are restricted to move either vertically or horizontally (but not both), a special target car, and a single exit on the perimeter of the grid. The goal of the game is to find a sequence of legal moves that allows the target car to exit the grid. We consider a slightly generalized version of the game that uses an nn grid and assume that we can place the single exit and target car at any location we choose on initialization of the game. In this work, we show that deciding if the target car can legally exit the grid is PSPACE-complete. Our constructive proof uses a lazy form of dual-rail reversible logic such that movement of "output" cars can only occur if logical combinations of "input" cars can also move. Emulating this logic only requires three types of devices (two switches and one crossover); thus, our proof technique can be easily generalized to other games and planning problems in which the same three primitive devices can be constructed.

Authors: Masaru Kitsuregawa, Masashi Toyoda, Iko Pramudiono
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th Australasian database conference - Volume 5 (2002)

The emergence of WWW has drawn new frontiers for database research. Web mining has become a hot topic since WWW rapid expansion rate and chaotic nature have exposed some technical challenges as well as interesting discoveries. In general web mining can be classified into web structure mining and web usage mining. Here we introduce two applications of web mining, first from mining the web structure we identify web communities, and the second we mine web usage of mobile internet users on location aware search engine. Those applications require heavy computational power as well as good scalability. Cluster of commodity PCs is suitable as the platform to handle such applications. Here we also report some approaches for optimal parallel execution of mining algorithms on PC cluster.
Extended Kalman filter training of neural networks on a SIMD parallel machine
Authors: Shuhui Li, Donald C. Wunsch, Edgar O'Hair, Michael G. Giesselmann
Venue: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (2002)

The extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm has been shown to be advantageous for neural network trainings. However, unlike the backpropagation (BP), many matrix operations are needed for the EKF algorithm and therefore greatly increase the computational complexity. This paper presents a method to do the EKF training on a SIMD parallel machine. We use a multistream decoupled extended Kalman filter (DEKF) training algorithm which can provide efficient use of the parallel resource and more improved trained network weights. From the overall design consideration of the DEKF algorithm and the consideration of maximum usage of the parallel resource, the multistream DEKF training is realized on a MasPar SIMD parallel machine. The performance of the parallel DEKF training algorithm is studied. Comparisons are performed to investigate pattern and batch-form trainings for both EKF and BP training algorithms.

Stability and Well-Posedness in Linear Semi-Infinite Programming
Authors: M. J. Cánovas, M. A. López, J. Parra, M. I. Todorov
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

This paper presents an approach to the stability and the Hadamard well-posedness of the linear semi-infinite programming problem (LSIP). No standard hypothesis is required in relation to the set indexing of the constraints and, consequently, the functional dependence between the linear constraints and their associated indices has no special property. We consider, as parameter space, the set of all LSIP problems whose constraint systems have the same index set, and we define in it an extended metric to measure the size of the perturbations. Throughout the paper the behavior of the optimal value function and of the optimal set mapping are analyzed. Moreover, a certain type of Hadamard well-posedness, which does not require the boundedness of the optimal set, is characterized. The main results provided in the paper allow us to point out that the lower semicontinuity of the feasible set mapping entails high stability of the whole problem, mainly when this property occurs simultaneously with the boundedness of the optimal set. In this case all the stability properties hold, with the only exception being the lower semicontinuity of the optimal set mapping.

Extraction of qualitative information from the weighted walkthroughs
Authors: Serafino Cicerone, Eliseo Clementini
Venue: Proceedings of the 10th ACM international symposium on Advances in geographic information systems (2002)

Weighted walkthroughs are a quantitative model for representing the spatial relation between two raster features in image databases. In this paper, we establish a correspondence between the weighted walkthroughs and qualitative models for spatial reasoning. We provide rules for extracting topological relations from the quantitative data that are computed for each pair of pixel sets. The approach has been tested through experiments with raster regions.
Price Measurements and Their Uses
Authors: Murray F. Foss, Marilyn E. Manser
Venue:  (1993)

:In an economy characterized by frequent change in technology, in the types of goods and services purchased, and in the forms of business organization, keeping track of price change continues to pose many difficulties. Price change affects the way we perceive changes in such basic measures as real output, productivity, and living standards. This volume, which brings together academic economists with those responsible for official price indexes, presents outstanding new research on price measurement. Half of the papers focus on prices for mainframe and personal computers, semiconductors, and other high-tech products, using mainly hedonic techniques. Some of the research in this volume suggests that prices for personal computers and semiconductors may have fallen even faster than the 14 percent annual rate of decrease indicated in the official statistics. Not all economists agree with the approach to computer price measurement taken by the government agencies, and the volume includes a panel discussion by distinguished economists about the theoretical and practical considerations of how best to measure price change of capital goods whose quality is changing rapidly. In the case of computers, these considerations have important implications for productivity measurement and profoundly affect our views of the relative importance of capital inputs and technological change in accounting for output growth. The authors also present new research on more conventional but still unsettled problems in the price field. Two papers deal with the consumer price index. One concerns the shift in market share away from small independents toward lower-price chains and supermarkets. The authors address whether the lower prices should be treated as a price reduction, or as no change, reflecting a shift to stores offering fewer services. The second paper looks at new approaches by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to adjust for specification change in clothing. Two papers concern the
