We consider the problem of tracking the state of a hybrid system capable of performing a bounded number of mode switches. The system is assumed to either follow a nominal model standing for, e.g., the non-maneuvering motion regime of a target, or the fault-free operation mode of a sensor, or obey an anomalous model representing, e.g., the abrupt evasive maneuvers of a target or the faulty operation of a sensor. The optimal tracking algorithm requires the implementation of a polynomially growing number of primitive Kalman filters. On the other hand, the system's switching dynamics is not Markov because of the a priori limited number of model switches, thus ruling out the use of popular estimation schemes such as the IMM and GPB algorithms. We derive an efficient estimation scheme that uses a number of primitive Kalman filters that is linear in the number of possible maneuvers. The scheme resembles the IMM algorithm in that it uses interaction between some of the primitive filters before every estimation cycle, thus reducing the number of such filters. The algorithm is fully derived, tested in simulation, and shown to outperform the state-of-the-art IMM filter in a typical example.

This paper demonstrates that Sequential Lateral Solidification (SLS) of Si can be carried out on films as thin as–and potentially much thinner than–250 Å. When compared to thicker Si films, however, the SLS-processed ultra-thin films contain more twins, and successful processing requires irradiation within a narrower laser energy density range and a smaller per-pulse translation distance. The physical interpretation of these findings is formulated by analyzing the details of the microstructures observed in single-pulse-irradiation-induced Controlled Super-Lateral Growth (C-SLG) experiments. SEM and TEM analyses reveal complicated microstructural details that we interpret as originating from breakdown of epitaxial growth during lateral solidification, an effect that is detrimental to the SLS process. Based on considerations of far-from- equilibrium solidification behavior of Si, it is argued that undercooling of the solidification interface below a threshold value at which solidification no longer proceeds epitaxially–arising from reduction in interfacial recalescence during lateral solidification of ultra-thin Si films, relative to that of thicker films–is responsible for the breakdown. Based on this model, we discuss how external parameters may be adjusted so as to permit optimal crystallization of ultra-thin Si films using SLS.

A generalized state space representation of a dynamical system with random modes is presented. The dynamics equation includes the effect of the state's linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) optimal estimate, representing the behavior of a closed loop control system featuring a state estimator. The measurement equation is allowed to depend on past LMMSE estimate of the state, which can be used to represent the fact that measurements are obtained from a validation window centered at the predicted measurement position and not from the entire surveillance region. The matrices comprising the system's mode constitute an independent stochastic process. It is shown that the proposed formulation generalizes several important problems considered in the past, and allows a unified modeling of new ones. The LMMSE optimal filter is derived for the considered general problem and is shown to reduce, in some special cases, to some well known classical algorithms. The new concept, as well as the derived algorithm, are demonstrated for the problem of target tracking in clutter, and are shown to attain performance that is competitive to that of several popular nonlinear methods.
We consider estimating the state of a dynamic system subject to actuator faults. The discretely-valued fault mechanism renders the system hybrid, and results in anomalous changes in the dynamics equation that may be i...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for the 3D tomographic inversion problem that arises in single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (Cryo-EM). It is based on two key components: 1) a variational formulation that promotes sparsity in the wavelet domain and 2) the Toeplitz structure of the combined projection/back-projection operator. The first idea has proven to be very effective for the recovery of piecewise-smooth signals, which is confirmed by our numerical experiments. The second idea allows for a computationally efficient implementation of the reconstruction procedure, using only one circulant convolution per iteration.

By analyzing the momentum distribution obtained from path integral and phonon calculations we find that the protons in hexagonal ice experience an anisotropic quasiharmonic effective potential with three distinct principal frequencies that reflect molecular orientation. Due to the importance of anisotropy, anharmonic features of the environment cannot be extracted from existing experimental distributions that involve the spherical average. The full directional distribution is required, and we give a theoretical prediction for this quantity that could be verified in future experiments. Within the quasiharmonic context, anharmonicity in the ground-state dynamics of the proton is substantial and has quantal origin, a finding that impacts the interpretation of several spectroscopies.
