Banded Toeplitz systems of linear equations arise in many application areas and have been well studied in the past. Recently, significant advancement has been made in algorithm development of fast parallel scalable methods to solve tridiagonal Toeplitz problems. In this paper we will derive a new algorithm for solving symmetric pentadiagonal Toeplitz systems of linear equations based upon a technique used in [J.M. McNally, L.E. Garey, R.E. Shaw, A split-correct parallel algorithm for solving tri-diagonal symmetric Toeplitz systems, Int. J. Comput. Math. 75 (2000) 303-313] for tridiagonal Toeplitz systems. A common example which arises in natural quintic spline problems will be used to demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness. Finally computational results and comparisons will be presented.

In this paper, we present a fast algorithm for joint estimation of the two-dimensional (2-D) directions of arrival (DOAs) and frequencies of the incoming signals in wireless communications using a hierarchical space-time decomposition (HSTD) technique. Based on the HSTD, the proposed algorithm makes use of a sequence of one-dimensional (I-D) Unitary estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) algorithms to estimate these parameters alternatively in a hierarchical tree structure. Also, in between every other I-D Unitary ESPRIT algorithm, a temporal filtering process or a spatial beamforming process is invoked to partition the incoming signals into finer groups stage by stage to enhance the estimation accuracy as well as to alleviate the contaminated noise. Furthermore, with such a tree-structured estimation scheme, the pairing of these parameters is automatically determined without extra computational overhead. Simulation results show that the new algorithm provides satisfactory performance but with drastically reduced computations compared with previous works. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The bilateral filter is a versatile non-linear filter that has found diverse applications in image processing, computer vision, computer graphics, and computational photography. A common form of the filter is the Gaussian bilateral filter in which both the spatial and range kernels are Gaussian. A direct implementation of this filter requires O(σ~2) operations per pixel, where σ is the standard deviation of the spatial Gaussian. In this paper, we propose an accurate approximation algorithm that can cut down the computational complexity to O(1) per pixel for any arbitrary σ (constant-time implementation). This is based on the observation that the range kernel operates via the translations of a fixed Gaussian over the range space, and that these translated Gaussians can be accurately approximated using the socalled Gauss-polynomials. The overall algorithm emerging from this approximation involves a series of spatial Gaussian filtering, which can be efficiently implemented (in parallel) using separability and recursion. We present some preliminary results to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm compares favorably with some of the existing fast algorithms in terms of speed and accuracy.

A full-wave multilevel Green’s function interpolation method(MLGFIM) loop-tree(LP) algorithm based on PMCHWT integral equations is proposed for the fast analysis of EM system in RFIC. To overcome the low-frequency breakdown problem, the LP basis function is adopted to preserve both inductive and capacitive phenomena at very low frequency. PMCHWT integral equations can solve composite metallic and dielectric structures of RFIC with the surface discretization. With the fast algorithm MLGFIM, the computation time and memory are greatly reduced. A spiral inductor example demonstrates its accuracy and efficiency.

The subject of 2-D and higher dimensional object recognition finds widespread applications in areas such as image registration and pattern recognition. Radon transform is one technique used for efficient object matching (e.g., and ). However, so far as we know, no results have been obtained that solves the recognition problem completely in the projection domain due to coupling of transform parameters. We develop a novel method for such parameter decoupling and an improved phase correlation method for accurate practical shift estimation, resulting in a fast matching algorithm based on projection data only. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is much faster than similar state-of-the-art approaches such as that in with comparable estimation accuracy.

Phase correlation is a well-established frequency domain method to estimate rigid 2-D translational motion between pairs of images. However, it suffers from interference terms such as noise and non-overlapped regions. In this paper, a novel variant of the phase correlation approach is proposed, in which 2-D translation is estimated by projection-based subspace phase correlation (SPC). Conventional wisdom has suggested that such an approach can only amount to a compromise solution between accuracy and efficiency. In this work, however, we prove that the original SPC and the further introduced gradient-based SPC can provide robust solution to zero-mean and non-zero-mean noise, and the latter is also used to model the interference term of non-overlapped regions. Comprehensive results from synthetic data and MRI images have fully validated our methodology. Due to its substantially lower computational complexity, the proposed method offers additional advantages in terms of efficiency and can lend itself to very fast implementations for a wide range of applications where speed is at a premium.

The present paper discusses the crack problem in the linear porous elastic plane using the model developed by Nunziato and Cowin. With the help of Fourier transform the problem is reduced to an integral equation over the boundary of the crack. Some analytical transformations are applied to calculate the kernel of the integral equation in its explicit form. We perform a numerical collocation technique to solve the derived hyper-singular integral equation. Due to convolution type of the kernel, we apply, at each iteration step, the classical iterative conjugate gradient method in combination with the fast Fourier technique to solve the problem in almost linear time. There are presented some numerical examples for materials of various values of porosity.

A method for efficiently estimating the time-varying spectra of nonstationary autoregressive (AR) signals is derived using an indefinite matrix-based sliding window fast linear prediction (ISWFLP). In the linear prediction, the indefinite matrix plays a very important role in sliding an exponentially weighted finite-length window over the prediction error samples. The resulting ISWFLP algorithm successively estimates the time-varying AR parameters of order N at a computational complexity of O(N) per sample. The performance of the AR parameter estimation is superior to the performances of the conventional techniques, including the Yule-Walker, covariance, and Burg methods. Consequently, the ISWFLP-based AR spectral estimation method is able to rapidly track variations in the frequency components with a high resolution and at a low computational cost. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by the spectral analysis results of a sinusoidal signal and a speech signal.

In order to relax need of the optimal regularization parameter to be estimated, a cooperative recurrent neural network (CRNN) algorithm for image restoration was presented by solving a generalized least absolute deviation ( GLAD) problem. This paper proposes a fast algorithm for solving a constrained l(1)-norm problem which contains the GLAD problem as its special case. The proposed iterative algorithm is guaranteed to converge globally to an optimal estimate under a fixed step length. Compared with the CRNN algorithm being continuous time, the proposed iterative algorithm has a fast convergence speed. Illustrative examples with application to image restoration show that the proposed iterative algorithm has a much faster convergence rate than the CRNN algorithm.
