Network modeling of high-dimensional time series data is a key learning task due to its widespread use in a number of application areas, including macroeconomics, finance, and neuroscience. While the problem of sparse modeling based on vector autoregressive models (VAR) has been investigated in depth in the literature, more complex network structures that involve low rank and group sparse components have received considerably less attention, despite their presence in data. Failure to account for low-rank structures results in spurious connectivity among the observed time series, which may lead practitioners to draw incorrect conclusions about pertinent scientific or policy questions. In order to accurately estimate a network of Granger causal interactions after accounting for latent effects, we introduce a novel approach for estimating low-rank and structured sparse high-dimensional VAR models. We introduce a regularized framework involving a combination of nuclear norm and lasso (or group lasso) penalties. Subsequently, we establish nonasymptotic probabilistic upper bounds on the estimation error rates of the low-rank and the structured sparse components. We also introduce a fast estimation algorithm and finally demonstrate the performance of theproposed modeling framework over standard sparse VAR estimates through numerical experiments on synthetic and real data.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC/H.265) is the latest international video coding standard, which achieves better compression ratio and supports higher resolution than Advanced Video Coding (H.264/AVC). However, HEVC/H.265 increases the computational burden. To reduce the coding complexity of the HEVC encoder, this paper proposes a fast inter-prediction algorithm to speed up coding time. We collect the average rate-distortion costs (RD-cost) of Skip modes and Merge modes to accelerate prediction unit (PU) mode decisions. In addition, we also acquire and analyze the motion vector range from Merge modes and Inter 2N x 2N modes to decide whether to execute Merge and advanced motion vector prediction (AMVP) of other PUs. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm provides 48.54% time saving on average in random-access configuration and maintains good rate-distortion performance and video quality at the same time. The proposed algorithm also outperforms previous works.

An algorithm for computing the linear noise approximation (LNA) of the reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) is developed and tested. The RDME is often used as a model for biochemical reaction networks. The LNA is derived for a general discretization of the spatial domain of the problem. If M is the number of chemical species in the network and N is the number of nodes in the discretization in space, then the computational work to determine approximations of the mean and the covariances of the probability distributions is proportional to M2N2 in a straightforward implementation. In our LNA algorithm, the work is proportional to M2N. Since N usually is larger than M, this is a significant reduction. The accuracy of the approximation in the algorithm is estimated analytically and evaluated in numerical experiments.

In this paper, a new derived method is developed for a known numerical differential formula of the Caputo fractional derivative of order gamma is an element of(1,2) (Li and Zeng in Numerical methods for fractional calculus. Chapman & Hall/CRC numerical analysis and scientific computing, CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2015) by means of the quadratic interpolation polynomials, and a concise expression of the truncation error is given. This new method will be called as the H2N2 method because of the application of the quadratic Hermite and Newton interpolation polynomials. A finite difference scheme with a second order accuracy in space and a (3-gamma)-th order accuracy in time based on the H2N2 method is constructed for the initial boundary value problem of time-fractional wave equations. The stability and convergence of the difference scheme are proved. Furthermore, in order to increase computational efficiency, using the sum-of-exponentials to approximate the kernel t(1-gamma), a fast difference scheme is presented. The problem with weak regularity at the initial time is also discussed with the help of the graded meshes. At each time level, the difference scheme is solved with a fast Poisson solver. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the two difference schemes and confirm our theoretical analysis.

Non-Gaussian Levy noises are present in many models for understanding underlining principles of physics, finance, biology, and more. In this work, we consider the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) due to one-dimensional asymmetric Levy motion, which is a non-local partial differential equation. We present an accurate numerical quadrature for the singular integrals in the non-local FPE and develop a fast summation method to reduce the order of the complexity from O(J(2)) to O (J log J) in one time step, where J is the number of unknowns. We also provide conditions under which the numerical schemes satisfy maximum principle. Our numerical method is validated by comparing with exact solutions for special cases. We also discuss the properties of the probability density functions and the effects of various factors on the solutions, including the stability index, the skewness parameter, the drift term, the Gaussian and non-Gaussian noises, and the domain size.

With the continuous development of optical fiber sensing technology, the Optical Fiber Pre-Warning System (OFPS) has been widely used in various fields. The OFPS identifies the type of intrusion based on the detected vibration signal to monitor the surrounding environment. Aiming at the real-time requirements of OFPS, this paper presents a fast algorithm to accelerate the detection and recognition processing of optical fiber intrusion signals. The algorithm is implemented in an embedded system that is composed of a digital signal processor (DSP). The processing flow is divided into two parts. First, the dislocation processing method is adopted for the sum processing of original signals, which effectively improves the real-time performance. The filtered signals are divided into two parts and are parallel processed by two DSP boards to save time. Then, the data is input into the identification module for feature extraction and classification. Experiments show that the algorithm can effectively detect and identify the optical fiber intrusion signals. At the same time, it accelerates the processing speed and meets the real-time requirements of OFPS for detection and identification.

Normalized cross-correlation is an important mathematical tool in digital signal processing. This paper presents a new algorithm and its systolic structure for digital normalized cross-correlation, based on the statistical characteristic of inner-product. We first introduce a relationship between the inner-product in cross-correlation and a first-order moment. Then digital normalized cross-correlation is transformed into a new calculation formula that mainly includes a first-order moment. Finally, by using a fast algorithm for first-order moment, we can compute the first-order moment in this new formula rapidly, and thus develop a fast algorithm for normalized cross-correlation, which contributes to that arbitrary-length digital normalized cross-correlation being performed by a simple procedure and less multiplications. Furthermore, as the algorithm for the first-order moment can be implemented by systolic structure, we design a systolic array for normalized cross-correlation with a seldom multiplier, in order for its fast hardware implementation. The proposed algorithm and systolic array are also improved for reducing their addition complexity. The comparisons with some algorithms and structures have shown the performance of the proposed method.

A second-order Crank-Nicolson finite difference method, integrating a fast approximation of an exact discrete absorbing boundary condition, is proposed for solving the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation in the whole space. The fast approximation is based on Gaussian quadrature approximation of the convolution coefficients in the discrete absorbing boundary conditions. It approximates the time convolution in the discrete absorbing boundary conditions by a system of O(log(2) N) ordinary differential equations at each time step, where N denotes the total number of time steps. Stability and an error estimate are presented for the numerical solutions given by the proposed fast algorithm. Numerical experiments are provided, which agree with the theoretical results and show the performance of the proposed numerical method.

The visual perception, we want to mention here is the three visual methods in image processing. It is Just Noticeable Difference (JND), Luminance Histogram Bin Variation and Edge Detection. Based on these three methods, we reduce CU (coding unit) splitting coding time. In addition, we use the previous edge detection data to reduce the candidate of PU mode. HEVC (high-efficiency video coding), as the latest video coding standard, can achieve up to 50%-bit rate saving while maintaining the same subjective quality compared to H.264/AVC. However, HEVC takes very high computational complexity. In this research, we will combine two methods of CU splitting and PU mode deciding to improve this problem. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve about 36.25% encoder time saving on average with 0.123dB PSNR loss while result in negligible BD-Bitrate loss compared with HM 16.0 (HEVC test model).

The low efficiency of the acoustic emission (AE) beamforming localization method in large-scale structural monitoring seriously restricts its application in practice. The Hilbert curve is introduced to improve the computational efficiency of AE beamforming method in this paper. Firstly, the Hilbert curve is introduced to traverse the monitored area, and quickly capture the approximate position of the AE source based on Beamforming. Then, the 'Nine-Four bisection' method is proposed to overcome the boundary problem in region division. Finally, the Hilbert curve-beamforming method (HCBF) is verified by simulation and experiment data. The results show that, the presented method not only greatly improves the computational efficiency, but also maintains the original localization accuracy and reliability. It creates a prerequisite for the further promotion and development of the beamforming method in the field of AE source localization in large-scale structural health monitoring.
