This paper presents a statistical analysis of a Pseudo Affine Projection (PAP) algorithm, obtained from the Affine Projection algorithm (AP) for a step size alpha < 1 and a scalar error signal in the weight update. Deterministic recursive equations are derived for the mean weight and for the mean square error (MSE) for a large number of adaptive taps N compared to the order P of the algorithm. Simulations are presented which show good to excellent agreement with the theory in the transient and steady states. The PAP learning behavior is of special interest in applications where tradeoffs are necessary between convergence speed and steady-state misadjustment.

The effect of a saturation-type error nonlinearity in the weight update equation in normalized least mean-square (NLMS) adaptation is investigated for system identification for a white Gaussian data model. Nonlinear recursions are derived for the weight mean error and mean-square deviation (MSD) that include the effect of an error function (erf) saturation-type nonlinearity on the error sequence driving the algorithm. The nonlinear recursion for the MSD is solved numerically and shown in excellent agreement with Monte Carlo simulations, supporting the theoretical model assumptions. The theory is extended to tracking a Markov channel and accurately predicts the tracking behavior as well. The saturation behavior of the algorithm is easily studied by varying a single parameter in the error function, varying from a linear device to a hard limiter. For the white data case, the excess mean square-error (EMSE) is simply related to the MSD. The tradeoff between the extent of error saturation, steady-state EMSE, and algorithm convergence rate is studied using these results.

In this work, the problem of the localization and shaping of buried objects or voids is addressed considering an innovative two steps strategy in order to enhance the reconstruction accuracy. In particular, at the first step the approach is aimed at firstly estimating the region-of-interest where the defect is supposed to be located. Then at the second step, the qualitative imaging of the object is improved through a level-set based shaping procedure. In order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach, selected numerical results concerned with different scenarios and noisy data are presented and discussed

This paper studies the statistical behavior of an affine combination of the outputs of two least mean-square (LMS) adaptive filters that simultaneously adapt using the same white Gaussian inputs. The purpose of the combination is to obtain an LMS adaptive filter with fast convergence and small steady-state mean-square deviation (MSD). The linear combination studied is a generalization of the convex combination, in which the combination factor lambda(n) is restricted to the interval (0,1). The viewpoint is taken that each of the two filters produces dependent estimates of the unknown channel. Thus, there exists a sequence of optimal affine combining coefficients which minimizes the mean-square error (MSE). First, the optimal unrealizable affine combiner is studied and provides the best possible performance for this class. Then two new schemes are proposed for practical applications. The mean-square performances are analyzed and validated by Monte Carlo simulations. With proper design, the two practical schemes yield an overall MSD that is usually less than the MSDs of either filter.

The paper provides some theoretical results on the analysis of the expected time needed by a class of Ant Colony Optimization algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems. A part of the study refers to some general results on the expected runtime of the considered class of algorithms. These results are then specialized to the case of pseudo-Boolean functions. In particular, three well known functions and a combination of two of them are considered: the OneMax, the Needle-in-a-Haystack, the LeadingOnes, and the OneMax-Needle-in-a-Haystack. The results obtained for these functions are also compared to those from the well-investigated (1+1)-Evolutionary Algorithm. The results shed light on a suitable parameter choice for the considered class of algorithms. Furthermore, it turns out that for two of the four studied problems, the expected runtime for the considered class, expressed in terms of the problem size, is of the same order as that for (1+1)-Evolutionary Algorithm. For the other two problems, the results are significantly in favour of the considered class of Ant Colony Optimization algorithms.

Thus, there exists a sequence of optimal affine combining coefficients which minimizes the MSE.

It is shown that the practical scheme yields close-to-optimal performance when properly designed (as suggested by the theoretical optimal).

Minimization of Gibbs free energy Using activity coefficient models and nonlinear equation solution techniques is commonly applied to phase stability problems. However, when conventional techniques, Such as the Newton-Raphson method, are employed, serious convergence problems may arise. Due to the existence Of Multiple solutions, several problem can be found in modeling, liquid-liquid equilibrium of multicomponent systerns, which are highly dependent oil the initial guess. In this Nvork phase stability analysis of liquid-liquid equilibrium is investigated using the NRTL model. For this purpose, two distinct stochastic numerical algorithms are employed to minimize the tangent plane distance of Gibbs free energy: a subdivision algorithm that can find all roots of nonlinear equations for liquid-liquid stability analysis and the Simulated Annealing method. Results obtained in this work for the two stochastic algorithms are compared with those of the Interval Newton method from the literature. Several different binary and multicomponent systerns from the literature were successfully investigated.

A new analytical tool is presented to provide a better understanding of the search space of k-SAT. This tool, termed the local value distribution, describes the probability of finding assignments of any value q' in the neighbourhood of assignments of value q. The local value distribution is then used to define a Markov model to model the dynamics of a corresponding stochastic local search algorithm for k-SAT. The model is evaluated by comparing the predicted algorithm dynamics to experimental results. In most cases the fit of the model to the experimental results is very good, but limitations are also recognised.

Fractional programming has numerous applications in economy and engineering. While some fractional problems are easy in the sense that they are equivalent to an ordinary linear program, other problems like maximizing a sum or product of several ratios are known to be hard, as these functions are highly nonconvex and multimodal. In contrast to the standard Branch-and-Bound type algorithms proposed for specific types of fractional problems, we treat general fractional problems with stochastic algorithms developed for multimodal global optimization. Specifically, we propose Improving Hit-and-Run with restarts, based on a theoretical analysis of Multistart Pure Adaptive Search (cf. the dissertation of Khompatraporn (2004)) which prescribes a way to utilize problem specific information to sample until a certain level alpha of confidence is achieved. For this purpose, we analyze the Lipschitz properties of fractional functions, and then utilize a unified method to solve general fractional problems. The paper ends with a report on numerical experiments.
