According to the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, a corresponding algebraic equation system is ingeniously constructed, and by discussing the equation system’s solvability, the matrix equation’s existence interval is obtained. Based on the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Hermitian positive definite solutions of the matrix equation are derived. Then, the upper and lower bounds of the positive actual solutions are estimated by using matrix inequalities. Four iteration formats are constructed according to the given conditions and existence intervals, and their convergence is proven. The selection method for the initial matrix is also provided. Finally, using the complexification operator of quaternion matrices, an equivalent iteration on the complex field is established to solve the equation in the Matlab environment. Two numerical examples are used to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the given method. .展开更多

If f(x) is bounded and has primary function, the formal definite integral x s f(t)dt is the indefinite integral of f(x), where x is a self-variable, s is a parameter,~f(x) is a function defined in(-∞, +∞), which comes from f(x) by restriction and extension. In other words, the indefinite integral is a special form of definite integral, its lower integral limit and upper integral limit are all indefinite.展开更多

For solving such problems, we cut down the scanning time of those algorithms (i.e. DFA based) by rearranging the states table and shrinking the DFA alphabet size. Both the methods can decrease the probability of large-scale random memory accessing and increase the probability of continuously memory accessing. Then the hitting rate of the CACHE is increased and the searching time of on the DFA is reduced. Shrinking the alphabet size of the DFA also reduces the storage complication. The AC++algorithm, by optimizing the Aho-Corasick (i.e. AC) algorithm using such methods, proves the theoretical analysis. And the experimentation results show that the scanning time of AC++and the storage occupied is better than that of AC in most cases and the result is much attractive when the number of patterns is very large. Because DFA is a widely used base algorithm in may string matching algorithms, such as DAWG, SBOM etc., the optimizing method discussed is significant in practice.展开更多
