Image collection summarisation aims to represent a large-scale multi-modal collection with a small subset of images and tags, helping navigate a large image dataset. Most extant methods leverage the contributions of text-to-visual summaries, ignoring the visual contribution to the textual topic. When the tags are weakly labelled, the textual topic cannot accurately reflect the visual summary. To solve this, the authors propose a novel model, joint optimisation of convex non-negative matrix factorisation, which incorporates images and tags in a beneficial way. The objective function contains visual and textual error functions, sharing the same indicator matrix, connecting different modal relations. Then, they propose an iterative algorithm to optimise the proposed model. Finally, they explore the effects of different visual feature representations (e.g. bag-of-words and deep learning) on multi-modal collection summary. Our proposed method is then compared with state-of-the-art algorithms using two multi-modal datasets (i.e. MIRFlickr and NUS-WIDE-SCENE). Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of their proposed approach.

The biconjugate gradients (BiCG) and biconjugate residual (BiCR) methods are attractive ways for solving nonsymmetric linear system Ax = b. In this paper, the BiCG and BiCR methods are extended to solve the high order Stein tensor equation. The convergent properties of the developed iterative algorithms are studied. Numerical examples are provided to confirm the theoretical results, which demonstrate that the proposed algorithms are effective and feasible for solving the Stein tensor equation.

For a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems under switching topologies with disturbances, we propose a distributed H consensus control protocol based on relative output feedback and utilize an iterative algorithm for solving nonlinear matrix inequality in this paper. Firstly, a consensus control protocol via relative output feedback is designed. Then, an iterative algorithm is utilized to calculate nonlinear matrix inequality. By this, the output feedback gain is designed but not chosen, which increases the design degree of freedom and meanwhile H performance index is obtained. Finally, the proposed theory is applied to multiple simple-pendulums network systems driven by DC motors, and simulation results show the effectiveness of the designed consensus control protocol.

This study investigates optimal power allocation (OPA) for maximising the energy efficiency (EE) of dual-hop underlay full-duplex cognitive relay network, under the influence of interference from primary source. The OPA for the EE optimisation is constrained on the maximum transmit power of the secondary nodes and the interference threshold power which can be tolerated at the primary destination. The authors convert the initial non-convex optimisation problem to a concave fractional programming form and propose an iterative algorithm using parametric transformation to find the OPA vector. Further, they prove that the point of convergence of the proposed iterative algorithm is a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point of the initial non-convex problem. They numerically demonstrate the EE improvement achieved by the proposed algorithms over equal power allocation strategy.

In the fuzzy nonlinear programming (FNLP) domain, piecewise linear membership functions (PLMFs) are often employed to linearize the nonlinear membership functions. However, the linearization error will reduce the accuracy of the solution, which has become an obstacle to the application of PLMFs. In this paper, we present an iterative algorithm based on geometrical means to solve the problems mentioned above. Firstly, the linearization error can be reduced by gradually modifying the programming model. Subsequently, compared with traditional methods, the linearization model is determined only by weighing the linearization degree of membership function and the accuracy of programming results, the proposed method is more directly and effectively. Furthermore, in-depth discussions are also given along with the algorithm for demonstrating the rationality. Finally, the proposed method is validated and compared with other methods. A real example is examined to demonstrate applicability of the proposed method in this paper.

The sensitivity of circuit input vectors plays an important role in estimating circuit reliability bounds and identifying reliability-critical gates. Consequently, to effectively calculate the circuit sensitivity for the input vectors is becoming a necessity for nanocircuits, helping circuit designers to select the architecture that best optimizes the tradeoffs between reliability and area power delay. Combining probability signals and employing the iterative strategy presented inMonte Carlo method, this paper proposes an iterative algorithm based on a probabilistic transfer matrix to investigate the circuit sensitivity for the given input vectors, ensuring computational precision and speed. Simulation results on benchmark circuits show that the proposed algorithm is an efficient and accurate method to calculate the sensitivity of the applied input vectors, and that it can be used to improve circuit reliability at a small cost in the early stages of circuit design.

Holographic laser beam shaping using a spatial light modulator can provide flexible adaptation of the intensity profile. However, speckle noise exists in the shaped beams, which reduces the beam quality seriously. In this paper, a new method is proposed to implement noise reduced flat-top beam shaping. The Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm with special spherical initial phase profile is adopted to calculate the phase-only hologram. When the spherical phase distribution is properly selected, the speckle free flat-top beam with high diffraction efficiency and low root-mean-square error can be obtained. Both simulations and experiments are performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. The comparison with the conventional GS algorithm using a random initial phase distribution is also carried out.

This paper proposes a robust beamforming (BF) scheme to enhance the physical layer security (PLS) of a multibeam satellite system operating at Ka band. By considering the effects of beam gain, path loss, and rain attenuation, we first formulate a constrained optimization problem to maximize the minimal achievable secrecy rate of multiuser under the assumption of imperfect eavesdropping channel and the constraint of total transmit power on the satellite. Since the problem is non-convex and mathematically intractable, we exploit the sequential convex approximation approach and S-procedure method to transform the original problem into one with a series of linear matrix inequality and second-order cone constraints, and then propose an iterative scheme to obtain the optimal BF weight vectors. Finally, simulation results showing the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm are provided.

The aim of the present paper is to develop a strategy for solving reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) problems by sparse polynomial chaos expansion (PCE). Because classic sparse regression methods cannot provide the surrogate error measure that can be employed to improve the sampling performance for failure probability estimation in RBDO, Bayesian compressed sensing with state-of-the-art performance is employed to build sparse PCE in the paper. In the meanwhile, a new active learning function is proposed to adaptively select new training points. Two goals can be achieved using this criterion;that is, most of the selected training points are selected from the desired regions to approximate limit state surfaces, and these points tend to be far away from the existing points in the current design to avoid the clustering problem. Because the sparse PCEs are built in an augmented space, it is made numerically affordable to solve the RBDO problem with no extra computational cost. The computation capability of the proposed method is demonstrated by several analytical RBDO problems. Meanwhile, the design optimization of a stiffened rib of the wing edge in a certain aircraft also verifies its good engineering applicability.
