Asymptotic Properties of Input-Output Operators Norm Associated with Singularly Perturbed Systems with Multiplicative White Noise
Authors: Vasile Dragan, Toader Morozan, Peng Shi
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

In this paper, we study the problem of the asymptotic property of the norm of input-output operators related to a class of singularly perturbed stochastic linear systems. The system is under perturbation of multiplicative white noise. By using reduction order and boundary layer techniques, it is shown that the norm of the operator of the perturbed system is less than a given number $\gamma$ when the small perturbation $\varepsilon$ tends to zero if both the related norms of the reduced subsystem and the boundary layer subsystem are less than $\gamma$. Furthermore, a stabilizing robust controller is designed, which is independent of perturbation $\varepsilon$.

Continuous optimal control sensitivity analysis with AD
Authors: Jean-Baptiste Caillau, Joseph Noailles
Venue: Automatic differentiation of algorithms: from simulation to optimization (2000)

In order to apply a parametric method to a minimum time control problem in celestial mechanics, a sensitivity analysis is performed. The analysis is continuous in the sense that it is done in the infinite dimensional control setting. The resulting sufficient second order condition is evaluated by means of automatic differentiation, while the associated sensitivity derivative is computed by continuous reverse differentiation. The numerical results are given for several examples of orbit transfer, also illustrating the advantages of automatic differentiation over finite differences for the computation of gradients on the discretized problem.
Applied Mathematica: Getting Started, Getting It Done, 1st edition
Authors: William T. Shaw, Jason Tigg
Venue:  (1993)

:As an applied scientist you are constantly looking for new and better ways to solve problems. This book shows how Mathematica, the powerful mathematical software system, can be used to solve problems in the applied sciences. Written by two authors who have been teaching Mathematica courses to scientists and engineers for years, this book is a must for anyone who needs to use Mathematica to solve complex problems in the applied sciences. The book tackles complex, practical problems, and shows how to solve them from start to finish. After presenting a "quick start" chapter designed to get you using Mathematica quickly, the authors show how Mathematica can be used as a data analysis and visualization system. Topics in this section include importing information to Mathematica, organizing information, visualizing data in both 2D and 3D, processing information, and exporting results from Mathematica. Next, the authors guide you through programming in Mathematica. Included here are topics such as programming styles, important built-in structures, function definitions, procedural methods, rule-based schemes and iteration, contexts and packages, and increasing efficiency. Also included is a separate section detailing several case studies that explore and apply Mathematica to particular areas. These areas include engineering, finance, environmental modeling, and image processing. The case studies span a wide range of applications - from serious data analysis using robust regression theory and maximum entropy theory, to an enjoyable exploration of the Mandelbrot set using MathLink to create a movie. The book also includes eight pages of full-color images.
ADO.NET
Authors: Craig Utley, Mark Scott
Venue:  (2002)

:A high-end comprehensive developer's guide that provides information to effectively use and create scalable, enterprise-wide applications with ADO.NET. This book covers ADO.NET, the new database technology underlying Microsoft's .NET strategy, perhaps their largest technology strategy ever. ADO.NET looks at the ADO.NET objects and how they compare to ADO, which is currently used by several million developers, according to Microsoft. Craig focuses on how to effectively use the new objects, but just as important, he focuses on the new design paradigm required to use a disconnected data access technology. This will require changes in how applications are designed and constructed. This book teaches the reader more than new objects; it will also ensure that then readers' applications are designed to be scalable and robust.
Hypersingular kernel integration in 3D Galerkin boundary element method
Authors: A. Aimi, M. Diligenti
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

We consider Cauchy singular and Hypersingular boundary integral equations associated with 3D potential problems defined on polygonal domains, whose solutions are approximated with a Galerkin boundary element method, related to a given triangulation of the boundary. In particular, for constant and linear shape functions, the most frequently used basis functions, we give explicit results of the analytical inner integrations and suggest suitable quadrature schemes to evaluate the outer integrals required to form the Galerkin matrix elements. These numerical indications are given after an analysis of the singularities arising in the whole integration process, which is valid also for shape functions of higher degrees.

Optimal Consumption and Portfolio with Both Fixed and Proportional Transaction Costs
Authors: Bernt Oksendal, Agnès Sulem
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

We consider a market model with one risk-free and one risky asset, in which the dynamics of the risky asset are governed by a geometric Brownian motion. In this market we consider an investor who consumes from the bank account and who has the opportunity at any time to transfer funds between the two assets. We suppose that these transfers involve a fixed transaction cost k>0, independent of the size of the transaction, plus a cost proportional to the size of the transaction.The objective is to maximize the cumulative expected utility of consumption over a planning horizon. We formulate this problem as a combined stochastic control/impulse control problem, which in turn leads to a (nonlinear) quasi-variational Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman inequality (QVHJBI). We prove that the value function is the unique viscosity solution of this QVHJBI. Finally, numerical results are presented.

Hardware acceleration of graphics and imaging algorithms using FPGAs
Authors: Pavel Zemcik
Venue: Proceedings of the 18th spring conference on Computer graphics (2002)

Computer graphics algorithms and algorithms used in image processing are generally computationally expensive. This fact is the reason why people struggle to accelerate such algorithms using any reasonable means. The traditional sources of speedup are faster processors, parallelism, or dedicated hardware. Development in digital circuit technology, especially rapid development of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), offers alternative way to acceleration. Current FPGA chips are capable of running graphics algorithms at the speed comparable to dedicated graphics chips. At the same time they are configurable not only using schematics diagram but also through high-level programming languages, e.g. VHDL. The contribution addresses these issues, general development in the area, and shows examples of hardware platforms and algorithms that can be implemented on such platforms.

Nsclick:: bridging network simulation and deployment
Authors: Michael Neufeld, Ashish Jain, Dirk Grunwald
Venue: Proceedings of the 5th ACM international workshop on Modeling analysis and simulation of wireless and mobile systems (2002)

Ad hoc network protocols are often developed, tested and evaluated using simulators. However, when the time comes to deploy those protocols for use or testing on real systems the protocol must be reimplemented for the target platform. This usually results in two, completely separate code-bases that must be maintained. Bugs which are found and fixed under simulated conditions must also be fixed separately in the deployed implementation, and vice versa. There is ample opportunity for the two implementations to drift apart, possibly to the point where the deployed and simulated version have little actual resemblance to each other. Testing the deployed version may also require construction of a testbed, a potentially time-consuming and expensive endeavor. Even if constructing an actual testbed is feasible, simulators are very useful for running large, repeatable scenarios for tasks such as protocol evaluation and regression testing. Furthermore, since the implementation may require modification of the kernel network stack, there's a good chance that a particular implementation may only run on specific versions of specific operating systems. To address these issues, we constructed the nsclick simulation environment by embedding the Click Modular Router inside of the popular \ns~network simulator. Routing protocols may be implemented as Click graphs and easily moved between simulation and any operating system supported by Click. This paper describes the design, use, validation and performance of nsclick.

Acute Type Refinements of Tetrahedral Partitions of Polyhedral Domains
Authors: Sergey Korotov, Michal Krízek
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

We present a new technique to perform refinements on acute type tetrahedral partitions of a polyhedral domain, provided that the center of the circumscribed sphere around each tetrahedron belongs to the tetrahedron. The resulting family of partitions is of acute type; thus, all the tetrahedra satisfy the maximum angle condition. Both these properties are highly desirable in finite element analysis.
Partitioned parallel radix sort
Authors: Shin-Jae Lee, Minsoo Jeon, Dongseung Kim, Andrew Sohn
Venue: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (2002)

Load balanced parallel radix sort solved the load imbalance problem present in parallel radix sort. By redistributing the keys in each round of radix, each processor has exactly the same number of keys, thereby reducing the overall sorting time. Load balanced radix sort is currently known as the fastest internal sorting method for distributed-memory multiprocessors. However, as the computation time is balanced, the communication time emerges as the bottleneck of the overall sorting performance due to key redistribution. We present in this report a new parallel radix sorter that solves the communication problem of balanced radix sort, called partitioned parallel radix sort. The new method reduces the communication time by eliminating the redistribution steps. The keys are first sorted in a top-down fashion (left-to-right as opposed to right-to-left) by using some most significant bits. Once the keys are localized to each processor, the rest of sorting is confined within each processor, hence eliminating the need for global redistribution of keys. It enables well balanced communication and computation across processors. The proposed method has been implemented in three different distributed-memory platforms, including IBM SP2, Cray T3E, and PC Cluster. Experimental results with various key distributions indicate that partitioned parallel radix sort indeed shows significant improvements over balanced radix sort. IBM SP2 shows 13% to 30% improvement while Cray/SGI T3E does 20% to 100% in execution time. PC cluster shows over 2.4-fold improvement in execution time.

Least adaptive optimal search with unreliable tests
Authors: Ferdinando Cicalese, Daniele Mundici, Ugo Vaccaro
Venue: Theoretical Computer Science (2002)

We consider the basic problem of searching for an unknown m-bit number by asking the minimum possible number of yes-no questions, when up to a finite number e of the answers may be erroneous. In case the (i+1)th question is adaptively asked after receiving the answer to the ith question, the problem was posed by Ulam and R&&eacute;nyi and is strictly related to Berlekamp's theory of error correcting communication with noiseless feedback. Conversely, in the fully non-adaptive model when all questions are asked before knowing any answer, the problem amounts to finding a shortest e-error correcting code. Let qe(m) be the smallest integer q satisfying Berlekamp's bound i=0e()2qm. Then at least qe(m) questions are necessary, in the adaptive, as well as in the non-adaptive model. In the fully adaptive case, optimal searching strategies using exactly qe(m) questions always exist up to finitely many exceptional m's. At the opposite non-adaptive case, searching strategies with exactly qe(m) questions or equivalently, e-error correcting codes with 2m codewords of length qe(m)---are rather the exception, already for e=2, and are generally not known to exist for e>2. In this paper, for each e>1 and all sufficiently large m, we exhibit searching strategies that use a first batch of m non-adaptive questions and then, only depending on the answers to these m questions, a second batch of qe(m)m non-adaptive questions. These strategies are automatically optimal. Since even in the fully adaptive case, qe(m)1 questions do not suffice to find the unknown number, and qe(m) questions generally do not suffice in the non-adaptive case, the results of our paper provide e, fault tolerant searching strategies with minimum adaptiveness and minimum number of tests.
