The recently proposed Zero-Attracting Proportionate Normalized Least Mean Square (ZA-PNLMS) algorithm improves the performance of the PNLMS algorithm for identifying sparse systems. In particular, it keeps the fast initial convergence rate of the PNLMS algorithm, and improves its transient performance by arresting the fall in the convergence rate at the later stage of the adaptation process, and it also improves the steady-state mean square error (MSE). However, the improvement in the steady-state performance is marginal. In this brief, we propose a novel gain function for the ZA-PNLMS algorithm by introducing an adaptive upper threshold parameter. It has two fold implications. First, the proposed threshold parameter truncates the proportional gains of highly active taps when they approach to their steady-states and helps the lesser active taps to converge faster by providing them more gains, and thereby the overall transient performance is further improved. Secondly, it also improves steady-state MSE significantly by reducing the fluctuation of the active taps at the steady-state. Extensive simulation studies have been carried out to justify the improvement obtained by the proposed algorithm.

It is well known that the supertwisting algorithm is robust to matched perturbation but is sensitive to measurement noise. Contrary to this, the classical linear algorithm is less sensitive to measurement noise but less robust to perturbation. To combine both the good accuracy of the supertwisting algorithm with respect to perturbation and the good performance of the linear algorithm with respect to measurement noise, this article proposes a new differentiator/observer with a varying exponent gain alpha whose variation depends on the magnitude of measurement noise (high-frequency signal). When the magnitude of measurement noise increases (respectively, decreases) alpha tends to 1 (respectively, tends to 0.5) and the proposed differentiator/observer behaves as a linear algorithm (respectively, as a supertwisting algorithm). Thus, by one parameter alpha, the differentiator/observer can take care of high-frequency noise and matched perturbations. A complete stability analysis of the proposed differentiator/observer is provided. To highlight the applicability of the proposed methodology, the dedicated differentiator/observer is, respectively, validated on the electropneumatic actuator and electric machine test benches. These experimental results are compared to those of linear and supertwisting algorithms.

While purely digital phased arrays were once discarded as simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) capable platforms, this notion has recently been reconsidered. Previous work demonstrated that adaptive digital beamforming and digital self-interference cancellation (SIC) can enable transmitting and receiving subapertures in an array to operate simultaneously in the same frequency band. This approach, referred to as Aperture-Level Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (ALSTAR), uses only adaptive digital beamforming and digital SIC techniques. The ALSTAR architecture does not require custom radiators or analog canceling circuits that can increase front end losses and add significant size, weight, and cost to the array. This paper extends the previously proposed effective isotropic isolation (EII) metric to account for fixed dynamic range transmit and receive channels. An alternating optimization procedure that exploits the interdependence of the transmit and receive beamformers is proposed based on the symmetry of the EII metric, achieving higher EII than in previous work. This optimization procedure balances the goal of null-placement for interference and noise rejection with the goal of maintaining high transmit and receive gain. Simulated results are presented for a-element array that achieves dB of EII in narrowband operation with W of transmit power. We explore the effectiveness of the architecture and proposed optimization methods by demonstrating the high EII achieved across the full scan space of the array at several transmit power levels. Results are also presented for a regularized version of the beamformer optimization problem that allows the designer to trade EII for array gain.

In this article we present an adaptive scheme for solving radial basis function collocation problems, which involve elliptic partial differential equations. The proposed algorithm is applied to two usual numerical methods, known as the nonsymmetric Kansa's method and the symmetric Hermite-based approach. Basically, the refinement algorithm is firstly characterized by the use of an adaptive superimposition scheme, in which an error estimate compares two approximate solutions computed on a coarser and a finer set of collocation points, and then on a modified adaptive residual subsampling scheme. Blending these computational techniques we detect the areas that need to be refined, also having the chance to further add and/or remove adaptively collocation points. Our study is supported by several numerical results, which illustrate the performance of our iterative algorithm. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

The problem of quickest detection of dynamic events in networks is studied. At some unknown time, an event occurs, and a number of nodes in the network are affected by the event, in that they undergo a change in the statistics of their observations. It is assumed that the event is dynamic, in that it can propagate along the edges in the network, and affect more and more nodes with time. The event propagation dynamics is assumed to be unknown. The goal is to design a sequential algorithm that can detect a "significant" event, i.e., when the event has affected no fewer than nodes, as quickly as possible, while controlling the false alarm rate. Fully connected networks are studied first, and the results are then extended to arbitrarily connected networks. The designed algorithms are shown to be adaptive to the unknown propagation dynamics, and their first-order asymptotic optimality is demonstrated as the false alarm rate goes to zero. The algorithms can be implemented with linear computational complexity in the network size at each time step, which is critical for online implementation. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the theoretical results.

Nonlinear Model-based Predictive Control (NMPC) is a relevant research area having applications in the industrial sector. Traditionally, in this technique, gradient descent algorithms have been used to solve the related optimization problem. More recently, bio-inspired meta-heuristics have also been applied to this problem. However, only a few works have been devoted to testing solvers that use parameter control with self-adaptive traits, which allows mitigating the problem of offline parameter tuning in bio-inspired approaches. In this paper, we propose the novel adaptive Modified Grey Wolf Optimization (AMGWO) and the adaptive Moth-Flame Optimization (AMFO), for solving Nonlinear Model-based Predictive Control (NMPC) problems. To achieve this, a mechanism for individual leaders weighting and a crossover operator are introduced in AMGWO, and a simple self-adaptive parameter technique is applied in both meta-heuristics. The improved solvers are tested to perform the swing-up of a single inverted pendulum and attitude control of a satellite, which are nonlinear problems relevant for assessing control performance. Nonparametric statistical tests are applied to compare the improved meta-heuristics optimization outcomes with other five meta-heuristics, which shows that the self-adaptive parameter technique can significantly improve the performance when applied as an NMPC solver, as the AMFO and AMGWO statistically outperform or performs as well as all algorithms compared in both the pendulum and satellite control, respectively. This is important as improving the optimizer efficiency will lead to more accurate control and enable rapid hardware implementation.

Recently, much work has been done on extending the scope of online learning and incremental stochastic optimization algorithms. In this paper we contribute to this effort in two ways: First, based on a generalization of Bregman divergences and a generic regret decomposition, we provide a self-contained, modular analysis of the two workhorses of online learning: (general) adaptive versions of Mirror Descent (MD) and the Follow-the-Regularized-Leader (FTRL) algorithms. The analysis is done with extra care so as not to introduce assumptions not needed in the proofs and allows to combine, in a straightforward way, different algorithmic ideas (e.g., adaptivity, optimism, implicit updates, variance reduction) and learning settings (e.g., strongly convex or composite objectives). This way we are able to reprove, extend and refine a large body of the literature, while keeping the proofs concise. The second contribution is a by-product of this careful analysis: We present algorithms with improved variational bounds for smooth, composite objectives, including a new family of optimistic MD algorithms with only one projection step per round. Furthermore, we provide a simple extension of adaptive regret bounds to a class of practically relevant non-convex problem settings (namely, star-convex loss functions and their extensions) with essentially no extra effort.
