PERFORMANCE OF SIMPLE-ENCODING IRREGULAR LDPC CODES BASED ON SPARSE GENERATOR MATRIX

A new method for the construction of the high performance systematic irregular low-density paritycheck （LDPC） codes based on the sparse generator matrix （G-LDPC） is introduced. The code can greatly reduce the encoding complexity while maintaining the same decoding complexity as traditional regular LDPC （H-LDPC） codes defined by the sparse parity check matrix. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed irregular LDPC codes can offer significant gains over traditional LDPC codes in low SNRs with a few decoding iterations over an additive white Gaussian noise （AWGN） channel.

Matrix Generator (MG): a Program for Creating 0/1 Matrix from Sized DNA Fragments

A computer program called Matrix Generator (MG) was developed for transforming sized DNA fragments into a presence/absence data matrix. Dynamic computation was run to avoid errors introduced using fixed-bin-width arithmetic. MG can be used with bin sized fragments from AFLP, ISSR, RAPD, RFLP, and other molecular markers. The accuracy of MG was tested using fAFLP data of Abelia and the results show that MG results in higher resolution of taxa and is more reliable than programs of the similar usage.

Damage Identification under Incomplete Mode Shape Data Using Optimization Technique Based on Generalized Flexibility Matrix

A generalized flexibility–based objective function utilized for structure damage identification is constructed for solving the constrained nonlinear least squares optimized problem. To begin with, the generalized flexibility matrix (GFM) proposed to solve the damage identification problem is recalled and a modal expansion method is introduced. Next, the objective function for iterative optimization process based on the GFM is formulated, and the Trust-Region algorithm is utilized to obtain the solution of the optimization problem for multiple damage cases. And then for computing the objective function gradient, the sensitivity analysis regarding design variables is derived. In addition, due to the spatial incompleteness, the influence of stiffness reduction and incomplete modal measurement data is discussed by means of two numerical examples with several damage cases. Finally, based on the computational results, it is evident that the presented approach provides good validity and reliability for the large and complicated engineering structures.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SIMPLE-ENCODING GENERATOR-BASED SYSTEMATIC IRREGULAR LDPC CODES AND RESULTED PRODUCT CODES

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code is one of the most exciting topics among the coding theory community.It is of great importance in both theory and practical communications over noisy channels.The most advantage of LDPC codes is their relatively lower decoding complexity compared with turbo codes,while the disadvantage is its higher encoding complexity.In this paper,a new ap- proach is first proposed to construct high performance irregular systematic LDPC codes based on sparse generator matrix,which can significantly reduce the encoding complexity under the same de- coding complexity as that of regular or irregular LDPC codes defined by traditional sparse parity-check matrix.Then,the proposed generator-based systematic irregular LDPC codes are adopted as con- stituent block codes in rows and columns to design a new kind of product codes family,which also can be interpreted as irregular LDPC codes characterized by graph and thus decoded iteratively.Finally, the performance of the generator-based LDPC codes and the resultant product codes is investigated over an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and also compared with the conventional LDPC codes under the same conditions of decoding complexity and channel noise.

Adaptive generalized matrix projective lag synchronization between two different complex networks with non-identical nodes and different dimensions

The adaptive generalized matrix projective lag synchronization between two different complex networks with non-identical nodes and different dimensions is investigated in this paper. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and Barbalat＇s lemma, generalized matrix projective lag synchronization criteria are derived by using the adaptive control method. Furthermore, each network can be undirected or directed, connected or disconnected, and nodes in either network may have identical or different dynamics. The proposed strategy is applicable to almost all kinds of complex networks. In addition, numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this method, showing that the synchronization speed is sensitively influenced by the adaptive law strength, the network size, and the network topological structure.

Solutions to the generalized Sylvester matrixequations by a singular value decomposition

In this paper, solutions to the generalized Sylvester matrix equations AX -XF = BY and MXN -X = TY with A, M ∈ R^n×n, B, T ∈ Rn×r, F, N ∈ R^p×p and the matrices N, F being in companion form, are established by a singular value decomposition of a matrix with dimensions n × （n ＋ pr）. The algorithm proposed in this paper for the euqation AX - XF = BY does not require the controllability of matrix pair （A, B） and the restriction that A, F do not have common eigenvalues. Since singular value decomposition is adopted, the algorithm is numerically stable and may provide great convenience to the computation of the solution to these equations, and can perform important functions in many design problems in control systems theory.

Pseudopolarity of Generalized Matrix Rings over a Local Ring

Pseudopolar rings are closely related to strongly -regular rings, uniquelystrongly clean rings and semiregular rings. In this paper, we investigate pseudopolar-ity of generalized matrix rings Ks（R） over a local ring R. We determine the conditionsunder which elements of Ks（R） are pseudopolar. Assume that R is a local ring. It isshown that A ∈ Ks（R） is pseudopolar if and only if A is invertible or A^2 ∈ J（Ks（R））or A is similar to a diagonal matrix [ u 0 0 j ]; where lu -rj and lj-ru are injectiveand u 2 U（R） and j ∈ J（R）. Furthermore, several equivalent conditions for Ks（R）over a local ring R to be pseudopolar are obtained.
