As a new computing paradigm, mobile edge computing (MEC) pushes the centralized cloud resources close to the edge network, which significantly reduces the pressure of the backbone network and meets the requirements of emerging mobile applications. To achieve high performance of the MEC system, it is essential to design efficient task offloading and service placement schemes, which are responsible for offloading tasks to the edge servers while considering the heterogeneity and diversity of computation services. Our MEC system aims to maximize the long-term average network utility while maintaining the stability of the edge network. Considering that synchronous manner overlooks the scenarios endowed with asymmetric update frequencies for service placement and task offloading, we propose an online algorithm based on the two-timescale Lyapunov optimization in a stochastic network environment without requiring the future information. By making asynchronous decisions on service placement and task offloading with different control parameters $V$V, we can achieve a time-average sub-optimal solution that is close to the offline optimum. In addition, we introduce the varying control parameter $V(t)$V(t) and $\Omega$omega-additive approximation to enhance the robustness of the proposed algorithm within an error Omega. Finally, rigorous theoretical analysis and extensive trace-driven experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves the [O(1/V),O(V)] performance-backlog tradeoff and is more competitive than benchmarks.

The ambiguity function is a useful tool for assessing the response performance of radar waveforms. This article addresses the problem of shaping the radar ambiguity function by designing the unimodular transmit waveform. We model the waveform design process as a nonconvex quartic optimization problem aimed at minimizing the disturbance power of scatters in specific range-Doppler bins. Rather than using conventional methods such as approximating and relaxing the objective function and constraints, we address the resultant optimization problem under the Riemannian manifold optimization framework and introduce a novel gradient-based algorithm called quartic Riemannian adaptive regularization with cubics. The developed algorithm applies the Riemannian gradient and Riemannian Hessian of the objective function to conduct iterative operations that gradually decrease the cost function value. The proposed algorithm has a lower iteration complexity bound in comparison to the classical Riemannian trust region method based on the second-order gradient. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our developed method can achieve a relatively higher signal-to-interference ratio with a faster convergence speed.

Taking safety and performance into consideration, the state and control input of the actual engineering system are often constrained. For this kind of problem, this article puts forward an online dual event-triggered (ET) adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) optimal control algorithm for a class of nonlinear systems with constrained state and input. First, the original system is transformed into another system through the barrier function, after that, a suitable value function with a nonquadratic utility function is designed to obtain the optimal control pair. In addition, on the premise of the asymptotic stability of the system, the trigger condition is devised, and the intersampling time analysis is proved that the algorithm can avoid the Zeno phenomenon. What is more, the critic, action, and disturbance neural networks (NNs) are trained to approximate value function and control sequences, subsequently, the approximation error is proved to be uniformly ultimately boundedness (UUB). Finally, two comparative experiments based on the robot arm model are simulated to verify that the algorithm can make control policies update only when the system has the requirement and keep satisfactory control effect, which can effectively decrease the number of data transfers and reduce the calculation burden.

In this paper, we consider an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS)-based uplink sparse code multiple access (SCMA) communications system. We first conduct performance analysis in terms of pairwise error probability (PEP) and derive an upper bound on word error probability (WEP). According to this bound, we establish a system design criterion and propose two IRS phase shifts design algorithms using semidefinite relaxation (SDR) and gradient ascent (GA) methods. The computational complexity of these algorithms is discussed. Next, we derive an upper bound on the average bit error rate (BER) and investigate the system performance in terms of diversity and signal-to-noise (SNR) gains. Further, to recover transmitted information bits, we present a modified joint iterative Gaussian approximated message passing (MP) detection and SCMA decoding algorithm, enabling detection and SCMA demapping to occur in each iteration. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that our proposed IRS design algorithms achieve better error performance compared to the known approaches.

We study a generalization of the well-known traveling salesman problem in a metric space, in which each city is associated with a release time. The salesman has to visit each city at or after its release time. There exists a naive 5/2-approximation algorithm where the salesman simply starts to route the network after all cities are released. Interestingly, this bound has never been improved for more than two decades. In this paper, we revisit the problem and achieve the following results. First, we devise an approximation algorithm with performance ratio less than 5/2 when the number of distinct release times is fixed. Then, we analyze a natural class of algorithms and show that no performance ratio better than 5/2 is possible unless the Metric TSP can be approximated with a ratio strictly less than 3/2, which is a well-known longstanding open question. Finally, we consider a special case where the graph has a heavy edge and present an approximation algorithm with performance ratio less than 5/2.

Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) has found successful applications in interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar (InISAR) imaging, especially in the presence of limited number of pulses or when using sparse apertures. SBL-based InISAR algorithms have been proven to be significantly superior to Fourier transform-based ones. However, the existing SBL-based algorithms are slow due to their high computational complexity. Moreover, there is also much room to improve in terms of imaging performance. In this article, leveraging the approximate message passing with unitary transformation (UAMP), we propose an InISAR imaging algorithm named UAMP joint sparse recovery (JSR), which is much faster and delivers notably higher imaging accuracy than the existing SBL-based algorithms. Specifically, we develop a type-2 joint sparse model for InISAR imaging and formulate it as a two-layer multiple measurement vectors joint sparse problem. Based on a factor graph representation, the message passing techniques are used to efficiently solve this problem, which leads to the UAMP-JSR algorithm. Results based on extensive simulations and experiments based on the real data collected by the Pisa Radar demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to existing algorithms.

The vertex cover problem is a fundamental and widely studied combinatorial optimization problem. It is known that its standard linear programming relaxation is integral for bipartite graphs and half-integral for general graphs. As a consequence, the natural rounding algorithm based on this relaxation computes an optimal solution for bipartite graphs and a 2-approximation for general graphs. This raises the question of whether one can interpolate the rounding curve of the standard linear programming relaxation in a beyond the worst-case manner, depending on how close the graph is to being bipartite. In this paper, we consider a round-and-bipartize algorithm that exploits the knowledge of an induced bipartite subgraph to attain improved approximation ratios. Equivalently, we suppose that we work with a pair (G, S), consisting of a graph with an odd cycle transversal. If S is a stable set, we prove a tight approximation ratio of 1 + 1/ρ, where 2ρ − 1 denotes the odd girth (i.e., length of the shortest odd cycle) of the contracted graph G˜:= G/S and satisfies ρ ∈ [2, ∞], with ρ = ∞ corresponding to the bipartite case. If S is an arbitrary set, we prove a tight approximation ratio of (1 + 1/ρ) (1 − α) + 2α, where α ∈ [0, 1] is a natural parameter measuring the quality of the set S. The technique used to prove tight improved approximation ratios relies on a structural analysis of the contracted graph G˜, in combination with an understanding of the weight space where the fully half-integral solution is optimal. Tightness is shown by constructing classes of weight functions matching the obtained upper bounds. As a byproduct of the structural analysis, we also obtain improved tight bounds on the integrality gap and the fractional chromatic number of 3-colorable graphs. We also discuss algorithmic applications in order to find good odd cycle transversals, connecting to the MinUncut and Colouring problems. Finally, we show that our analysis is optimal in the following sense: t
We prove the following result about approximating the maximum independent set in a graph. Informally, we show that any approximation algorithm with a "non-trivial" approximation ratio (as a function of the n...
