The Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm revisited

We propose a slight modification of the Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm for obtaining the minimal polynomial of a given linearly recurrent sequence. Such a modification enables to explain it in a simpler way and to adapt it to lazy evaluation. partially supported by the Galois Theory and Explicit Methods in Arithmetic Project HPRN-CT-2000-00114 partially supported by the European Union funded project RAAG CT-2001-00271     

The Region 1 & 3 Broadcasting‐Satellite Service Plan after WRC‐03

The 1977 Broadcasting‐Satellite Service (BSS) Plan for Region 1 & 3 had been widely acknowledged to be out‐of‐date by the late 1980s. Development of digital modulation in the early 1990s provided an opportunity to update the technical provisions of the Plan to make it more economically viable. After a decade of work and three World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs), the revision of Region 1 & 3 BSS Plan was finally completed in 2003. The new Plan increased channel assignments from 5 to 10 analog‐equivalent channels for each country in Region 1, and from 4 to 12 channels for each country in Region 3. Yet, despite the increase in capacity, the new Plan is surprisingly similar to the original one in terms of the technical parameters. It is still based on national coverage, and the channel plan, orbital location, orbital spacing, and polarization are also the same. As a result, the new Plan is no more economically viable to implement than the old. To create economically viable BSS systems would most likely require modifications to the assignment in the Plan. Yet, modification procedures were made more difficult to apply after replanning. Less future implementation of BSS networks than would otherwise have occurred can be expected, and an inefficient usage of these frequency bands will likely result. On the other hand, less implemented systems will mean more capacity set aside for future use. This is important for countries that currently do not have satellite operations. In the end, BSS replanning reflects the eternal conflict between efficient usage and guaranteed future access. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A parametric bootstrap approach for ANOVA with unequal variances: Fixed and random models

This article is about testing the equality of several normal means when the variances are unknown and arbitrary, i.e., the set up of the one-way ANOVA. Even though several tests are available in the literature, none of them perform well in terms of Type I error probability under various sample size and parameter combinations. In fact, Type I errors can be highly inflated for some of the commonly used tests; a serious issue that appears to have been overlooked. We propose a parametric bootstrap (PB) approach and compare it with three existing location-scale invariant tests—the Welch test, the James test and the generalized F (GF) test. The Type I error rates and powers of the tests are evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. Our studies show that the PB test is the best among the four tests with respect to Type I error rates. The PB test performs very satisfactorily even for small samples while the Welch test and the GF test exhibit poor Type I error properties when the sample sizes are small and/or the number of means to be compared is moderate to large. The James test performs better than the Welch test and the GF test. It is also noted that the same tests can be used to test the significance of the random effect variance component in a one-way random model under unequal error variances. Such models are widely used to analyze data from inter-laboratory studies. The methods are illustrated using some examples.     

Quadratic optimal neural fuzzy control for synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems

This paper presents a novel quadratic optimal neural fuzzy control for synchronization of uncertain chaotic systems via H^∞ approach. In the proposed algorithm, a self-constructing neural fuzzy network (SCNFN) is developed with both structure and parameter learning phases, so that the number of fuzzy rules and network parameters can be adaptively determined. Based on the SCNFN, an uncertainty observer is first introduced to watch compound system uncertainties. Subsequently, an optimal NFN-based controller is designed to overcome the effects of unstructured uncertainty and approximation error by integrating the NFN identifier, linear optimal control and H^∞ approach as a whole. The adaptive tuning laws of network parameters are derived in the sense of quadratic stability technique and Lyapunov synthesis approach to ensure the network convergence and H^∞ synchronization performance. The merits of the proposed control scheme are not only that the conservative estimation of NFN approximation error bound is avoided but also that a suitable-sized neural structure is found to sufficiently approximate the system uncertainties. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control method.     

Delay-dependent H∞ filtering for discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and partially unknown transition probabilities

This paper is concerned with the H_∞ filtering design for a class of discrete-time singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and partially unknown transition probabilities. The class of systems under consideration is more general and covers the singular Markovian delay systems with completely known and completely unknown transition probabilities as two special cases. A mode-dependent filter is constructed and by defining an appropriate stochastic Lyapunov functional combined with using the discrete Jensen inequality, a delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) for the considered systems is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on this, a sufficient condition on the existence of the desired filter which guarantees the admissibility and the H_∞ performance of the corresponding filtering error system is presented by employing the LMIs technique. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.     

机械球磨制备纳米W03粉末的研究

采用机械球磨湿法工艺制备了纳米级WO3粉末。研究了球磨时间、球料比、固液比等球磨参数对粉末粒度的影响：球磨时间和球料比对粉末粒度影响很大，但过久延长球磨时间或增大球料比并不能起到进一步细化的作用，反而会增加WC杂质的引入量；过高或过低的固液比都不利于WO3粉末的细化。为得到纳米级且纯度较高的WO3粉末，降低WC的含量，经反复实验得到最佳工艺条件为：球料比l：l，固液比1：0．5，球磨时间48h.     

On pseudo-fuzzy linear mappings

In this paper we study a more general class of linear maps on fuzzy subsets of vector spaces than those on fuzzy subspaces. We obtain a version of the fundamental theorem of homomorphisms which applies to these pseudo-fuzzy linear maps. In the case of fuzzy subspaces, the results become those for fuzzy linear maps. We introduce the notion of magnification of pseudo-fuzzy linear mappings. It is shown that this notion behaves well with respect to the fundamental theorem and with respect to the composition of mapping. We note that the class of distribution functions of random variables naturally produces pseudo-fuzzy linear mappings, which are not fuzzy linear mappings. We observe that pseudo-fuzzy linear mappings are examples of gain relations. We consider general properties of these relations as well as many other examples. From these results additional properties of pseudo-fuzzy linear mappings are obtained.     

On the bounded-real and positive-real conditions for affine nonlinear state-delayed systems and applications to stability

In this paper, bounded-real conditions for affine nonlinear state-delayed systems are derived using the concept of dissipativeness. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the system to be dissipative and to have finite L₂-gain also referred to as the bounded-real condition are given. The implications on the stability of the system and feedback interconnections of such systems are also considered. Finally, an equivalent of the positive-real lemma is derived and its implications on stability of the system and feedback interconnections of such systems are similarly discussed.     

Al2O3掺杂BaTi0.85Sn0.15O3陶瓷的制备及性能表征

通过传统固相二次烧结法来制备x wt% Al₂O₃（x=0、1.0、1.5）/BaTi_0.85Sn_0.15O₃（BTS）陶瓷。研究了掺杂不同含量Al₂O₃对BTS陶瓷的微观结构、介电性能及挠曲电性能的影响。结果表明,掺杂Al₂O₃的BTS陶瓷不改变陶瓷的晶体结构,仍为标准钙钛矿结构晶型;Al₂O₃的掺入能够有效降低晶粒尺寸,具有明显的细晶作用。随着Al₂O₃含量的增大,Al₂O₃/BTS陶瓷的介电常数减小,介电损耗得到明显改善,居里峰逐渐宽化且向温度高的方向偏移。Al₂O₃/BTS陶瓷的挠曲电系数随着Al₂O₃含量的增加和测试环境温度的升高均减小。此外,Al₂O₃/BTS陶瓷的挠曲电系数和介电常数之间存在一种近线性关系,但当温度非常接近于居里温度时,这种线性关系减弱。
