Localization is an important issue for Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) since the performance of a large number of underwater applications highly relies on the position information of underwater sensors. In this paper, we propose a hybrid localization approach based on angle-of-arrival (AoA) and received signal strength (RSS) for IoUT. We consider a smart fishing scenario in which using the proposed approach fishers can find fishes' loca-tions effectively. The proposed method collects the RSS observation and estimates the AoA based on error variance. To have a more realistic deployment, we assume that the perfect noise information is not available. Thus, a minimax approach is provided in order to optimize the worst-case performance and enhance the esti-mation accuracy under the unknown parameters. Furthermore, we analyze the mismatch of the proposed esti-mator using mean-square error (MSE). We then develop semidefinite programming (SDP) based method which relaxes the non-convex constraints into the convex constraints to solve the localization problem in an efficient way. Finally, the Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) are derived to bound the performance of the RSS-based estimator. In comparison with other localization schemes, the proposed method increases localization accu-racy by more than 13%. Our method can localize 96% of sensor nodes with less than 5% positioning error when there exist 25% anchors.

Two efficient solutions via Semi-Definite programming (SDP) are proposed for source localization problems using time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based ranging measurements when the propagation speed (PS) is unavailable and considered as a variable. For this problem, we propose a relaxed SDP (RSDP) solution, the performance of which is suboptimal. Accordingly, we propose a two-stage SDP method to improve the performance by applying the rank-reduction method. Besides, we also propose a penalty function-based SDP (PF-SDP) by introducing the penalty term. By doing so, the cost function becomes tighter so that the solution performs better. The simulated results show that the performance of two-stage SDP is sufficiently close to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) accuracy at high noise levels. The PF-SDP outperforms the two-stage SDP in the presence of low noise levels. (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We address the target localization problem by using bistatic range (BR) measurements in widely separated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar network. The BR information defines a set of elliptic equations from which the target location can be estimated. By applying the semidefinite relaxation (SDR), we transform the nonconvex BR-based localization problem into a convex semidefinite programming (SDP) problem, whose solution is guaranteed to be globally optimal without initial estimate. Moreover, we extend this method to robustly solve the localization problem in the presence of antenna position errors. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SDR method provides superior estimation performance over the existing method.

Models based on approximation capabilities have recently been studied in the context of Optimal Recovery. These models, however, are not compatible with overparametrization, since modeland data-consistent functions could then be unbounded. This drawback motivates the introduction of refined approximability models featuring an added boundedness condition. Thus, two new models are proposed in this article: one where the boundedness applies to the target functions (first type) and one where the boundedness applies to the approximants (second type). For both types of models, optimal maps for the recovery of linear functionals are first described on an abstract level before their efficient constructions are addressed. By exploiting techniques from semidefinite programming, these constructions are explicitly carried out on a common example involving polynomial subspaces of C[-1, 1]. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc.

The problem of verifying the nonnegativity of a function on a finite abelian group is a longstanding challenging problem. The basic representation theory of finite groups indicates that a function on a finite abelian group can be written as a linear combination of characters of irreducible representations of by ( ) = Sigma is an element of ( ) ( ) , where is the dual group of consisting of all characters of and ( ) is the Fourier coefficient of at is an element of . In this paper, we show that by performing the fast (inverse) Fourier transform, we are able to compute a sparse Fourier sum of squares (FSOS) certificate of on a finite abelian group with complexity that is quasi-linear in the order of and polynomial in the FSOS sparsity of . Moreover, for a nonnegative function on a finite abelian group and a subset subset of , we give a lower bound of the constant such that + admits an FSOS supported on . We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm by numerical experiments on various abelian groups of orders up to 10 7 . As applications, we also solve some combinatorial optimization problems and the sum of Hermitian squares (SOHS) problem by sparse FSOS.

The Pythagoras number of a sum of squares is the shortest length among its sums of squares representations. In many algebras, for example real polynomial algebras in two or more variables, there exists no upper bound on the Pythagoras number for all sums of squares. In this paper, we study how Pythagoras numbers in *-algebras over C behave with respect to small perturbations of elements. More precisely, the approximate Pythagoras number of an element is the smallest Pythagoras number among all elements in its epsilon-ball. We show that these approximate Pythagoras numbers are often significantly smaller than their exact versions, and allow for (almost) dimension-independent upper bounds. Our results use low-rank approximations for Gram matrices of sums of squares and estimates for the operator norm of the Gram map. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

The static output feedback control problem is important, as it is concerned with the case when one cannot measure all state variables. It seeks to obtain a stabilising control under these conditions and is, often, difficult to solve. For a certain class of linear dynamical systems, we provide a novel approach to obtain a stabilising control gain matrix. The class of plants considered is of those, for which we can measure at least half of all state variables and where those measurements affect at least half of all state variables. Moreover, when we write the (linearly transformed) system matrix in block form, we require that either the two lower block matrices are nonsingular, or, if the inputs affect the measured state variables directly, at least the lower left one is nonsingular. We then show that we can determine the stabilising control gain matrix from the solution of a linear matrix inequality. Finally, we apply the approach to different benchmark problems, where it performs well, and confirm its good performance through additional numerical experiments. (c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd.

The optimal connecting network problem generalizes many models of structure optimization known from the literature, including communication and transport network topology design, graph cut and graph clustering, etc. For the case of connecting trees with the given sequence of vertex degrees the cost of the optimal tree is shown to be bounded from below by the solution of a semidefinite optimization program with bilinear matrix inequality constraints, which is reduced to the solution of a series of convex programs with linear matrix inequality constraints. The proposed lower-bound estimate is used to construct several heuristic algorithms and to evaluate their quality on a variety of generated and real-life datasets.

Suppose we are given a matrix that is formed by adding an unknown sparse matrix to an unknown low-rank matrix. Our goal is to decompose the given matrix into its sparse and low-rank components. Such a problem arises in a number of applications in model and system identification and is intractable to solve in general. In this paper we consider a convex optimization formulation to splitting the specified matrix into its components by minimizing a linear combination of the l(1) norm and the nuclear norm of the components. We develop a notion of rank-sparsity incoherence, expressed as an uncertainty principle between the sparsity pattern of a matrix and its row and column spaces, and we use it to characterize both fundamental identifiability as well as (deterministic) sufficient conditions for exact recovery. Our analysis is geometric in nature with the tangent spaces to the algebraic varieties of sparse and low-rank matrices playing a prominent role. When the sparse and low-rank matrices are drawn from certain natural random ensembles, we show that the sufficient conditions for exact recovery are satisfied with high probability. We conclude with simulation results on synthetic matrix decomposition problems.

The minimum sum-of-squares clustering problem (MSSC) consists of partitioning n observations into k clusters in order to minimize the sum of squared distances from the points to the centroid of their cluster. In this paper, we propose an exact algorithm for the MSSC problem based on the branch- and-bound technique. The lower bound is computed by using a cutting-plane procedure in which valid inequalities are iteratively added to the Peng-Wei semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation. The upper bound is computed with the constrained version of k-means in which the initial centroids are extracted from the solution of the SDP relaxation. In the branch-and-bound procedure, we incorporate instance-level must-link and cannot-link constraints to express knowledge about which data points should or should not be grouped together. We manage to reduce the size of the problem at each level, preserving the structure of the SDP problem itself. To the best of our knowledge, the obtained results show that the approach allows us to successfully solve, for the first time, real-world instances up to 4,000 data points.
