To track the time-varying dynamics of a system or the time-varying properties of a signal is a fundamental problem in control and signal processing. Many approaches to derive such adaptation algorithms and to analyse their behaviour have been taken. This article gives a survey of basic techniques to derive and analyse algorithms for tracking time-varying systems. Special attention is paid to the study of how different assumptions about the true system's variations affect the algorithm. Several explicit and semi-explicit expressions for the mean square error are derived, which clearly demonstrate the character of the trade-off between tracking ability and noise rejection.

A multi-state system (MSS) model is a more flexible tool for representing engineering systems than the conventional binary system model, which has been widely studied in recent research. The multi-state weighted k-out-of-n system model is the generalization of the multi-state k-out-of-n system model, where the component i in state j carries a certain utility. In this paper, we propose a multi-state system structure called hierarchical weighted multi-state k-out-of-n systems. In such a system, the structure of the system can be decomposed into different hierarchical levels, and a subsystem at each level can be represented using a multi-state weighted k-out-of-n structure. The proposed system structure can find applications in many real life systems, and a municipal infrastructure is a typical example of such a structure. The definition of the hierarchical multi-state weighted k-out-of-n system model is proposed in this paper. Universal generating functions (UGF) are used to evaluate reliabilities of the defined systems. Moreover, to reduce computational complexity, recursive algorithms are developed to obtain lower, and upper bounds of the defined system reliabilities.

Automation of forging processes is important for both safety and efficiency in today's advanced manufacturing operations. This work supports the development of an Intelligent Open Die Forging System which will integrate state-of-the-arc modelling techniques, automatic die selection and sequencing, full system dynamic simulation, automatic machine programming and coordination, and sensor-based process control to enable the production of more general and complex workpiece geometries than are achievable using current forging methods. Effective automation of this open die forging system requires the coordination and control of the major system components: press, robot, and furnace. In particular, forces exerted on the robot through its manipulation of the workpiece during forging must be minimized to avoid damage to the manipulator mechanism. In this paper, the application of neural networks for compliance control of the forging robot to minimize these forces is investigated. Effectiveness ol the neural network-based compliance control module is evaluated through a full dynamic system simulation, which will later form a central part of the complete Intelligent Forging System. Dynamic simulation of the robot is achieved using an efficient O(N) recursive algorithm, while material flow of the workpiece is modeled with a finite element approach. Simulation and timing results for the complete processing system for a specific open die forging example are presented.

This paper provides a recursive enumeration algorithm for solving the nonconvex dynamic DEA models, to obtain cost minimum under nonconvex technologies. The validity of the algorithm is proved through some theorems. An illustrative example as well as a computational discussion are given to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.

A class of algorithms is presented that estimates the displacement vector from two successive image frames consisting of signal plus noise, In our model, the signals are assumed to be either non-Gaussian or (quasistationary) deterministic;and, via a consistency result for cumulant estimators, we unify the stochastic and deterministic signal viewpoints, The noise sources are assumed to be Gaussian (perhaps spatially and temporally correlated) and of unknown covariance. Viewing image motion estimation as a 2-D time delay estimation problem, the displacement vector of a moving object is estimated by solving linear equations involving third-order auto-cumulants and cross-cumulants. Additionally, a block-matching algorithm is developed that follows from a cumulant-error optimality criterion, Finally, the displacement vector for each pel is estimated using a recursive algorithm that minimizes a mean 2-D fourth order cumulant criterion, Simulation results are presented and discussed.

The numerical robustness of four generally-applicable, recursive, least-squares estimation schemes is analysed by means of a theoretical round-off propagation study. This study highlights a number of practical, interesting insights into the widely-used recursive least-squares schemes. These insights have been confirmed in an experimental verification study.

In this paper, we present simple recursive algorithms for computing call and time congestion in the classical Engset model with M sources and N servers. The first recursion has the complexity of O(MN) and gives the blocking probabilities for all intermediate values of M and N. The second recursion assumes a particular value of M and has the complexity of O(N). It gives the blocking probabilities for all intermediate values of N. Both recursions are similar to the well-known recurrence for computing the Erlang loss function.

In this paper, the optimal filtering problem is investigated for a class of networked systems in the presence of stochastic sensor gain degradations. The degradations are described by sequences of random variables with known statistics. A new measurement model is put forward to account for sensor gain degradations, network-induced time delays as well as network-induced data dropouts. Based on the proposed new model, an optimal unbiased filter is designed that minimizes the filtering error variance at each time-step. The developed filtering algorithm is recursive and therefore suitable for online application. Moreover, both currently and previously received signals are utilized to estimate the current state in order to achieve a better accuracy. A numerical simulation is exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. (c) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A computationally efficient technique, based on the method of moments (MoM) formulation, is invoked in the characterization of radiation and scattering properties of an array of coaxial, circular, non-identical loops. A set of Pocklington-type integral equations for the loop currents is formulated and subsequently discretized by a standard procedure. Thanks to a suitable choice of the basis functions, the resulting matrix corresponding to the pertinent linear system is forced to consist of circulant blocks. This type of system is solvable by an innovative recursive algorithm, featuring several important advantages, such as lower memory and execution time consumption, over standard, purely numerical inversion. The overall procedure is simpler in implementation than already existing methods, based on Fourier analysis. The procedure invokes almost exclusively elementary functions, and is applicable to large arrays with respect to diameter or number of loops. Data for such configurations are presented for the first time in literature.

The application of Kalman filtering is proposed for the numerical evaluation of plasma density profiles using noisy group delay data obtained from O- mode frequency-modulated broadband reflectometry. This method allows faster computation of the Abel inversion integral than the usual numerical methods (e.g., the trapezoidal rule) while maintaining a good accuracy in the presence of noise. In addition, density profiles with different degrees of smoothing can be produced by adjusting a single parameter. The algorithm seems promising in applications to plasma control in real time.
