Nonholonomic Theory of Principal-direction Orthonormal Basis for a Layer of Surfaces

In order to carry out tensor analysis in a neighborhood of a reference surface,the principal-direction orthogonal basis accompanying with Lame s coefficients or general curvilinear coordinate systems are widely used.A novel kind of field theory termed as the nonholonomic theory of the Principal-Direction Orthonormal Basis(PDOB)is presented systematically in the present paper,in which the formal Christoffel symbols are related directly to the principal and geodesic curvatures with respect to the principal directions of the surface.Furthermore,a systematic and simple way to determine the curvatures of the surface are presented with some examples.It provides a way to recognize qualitatively the bending property of a surface.

Construction of nonseparable orthonormal compactly supported wavelet bases for L^2(R^d)

Suppose M and N are two r×r and s×s dilation matrices,respectively.LetΓM andΓN represent the complete sets of representatives of distinct cosets of the quotient groups M-T Zr/Zr and N-T Zs/Zs,respectively.Two methods for constructing nonseparable Ω-filter banks from M-filter banks and N-filter banks are presented,where Ω is a（r＋s） ×（r＋s） dilation matrix such that one of its complete sets of representatives of distinct cosets of the quotient groups Ω-T Zr＋s/Zr＋s areΓΩ={[γT h,ζ T q] T：γh∈ΓM,ζq∈ΓN}.Specially,Ω can be [MΘ0N],whereΘis a r×s integer matrix with M-1Θbeing also an integer matrix.Moreover,if the constructed filter bank satisfies Lawton＇s condition,which can be easy to verify,then it generates an orthonormal nonseparable Ω-wavelet basis for L2（Rr＋s）.Properties,including Lawton＇s condition,vanishing moments and regularity of the new Ω-filter banks or new Ω-wavelet basis are discussed then.Finally,a class of nonseparable Ω-wavelet basis for L2（Rr＋1） are constructed and three other examples are given to illustrate the results.In particular,when M=N=2,all results obtained in this paper appeared in[1].

A Note on Tight Frames

Suppose that Φ(x)∈L 2(R) with compact support and V= span{Φ(x-k)|k∈Z}. In this note, we prove that if {Φ(x-k)k|k∈Z} is tight frame with bound 1 in V, then {Φ(x-k)|k∈Z} must be an orthonormal basis of V.

What can routh table offer in addition to stability?

Routh stability test is covered in almost all undergraduate control texts. It determines the stability or, a little beyond, the number of unstable roots of a polynomial in terms of the signs of certain entries of the Routh table constructed from the coefficients of the polynomial. The use of the Routh table, as far as the common textbooks show, is only limited to this function. We will show that the Routh table can actually be used to construct an orthonormal basis in the space of strictly proper rational functions with a common stable denominator. This orthonormal basis can then be used for many other purposes, including the computation of the H2 norm, the Hankel singular values and singular vectors, model reduction, H∞ optimization, etc. Keywords Routh stablity criterion - Orthonormal basis - Root-mean-squared value - Hankel operater - Nehari problem - Model reduction This work was supported by the Hong Kong Research Grants Council.

Irregular Segmented Region Compression Coding Based on Pulse Coupled Neural Network

An irregular segmented region coding algorithm based on pulse coupled neural network(PCNN) is presented. PCNN has the property of pulse-coupled and changeable threshold, through which these adjacent pixels with approximate gray values can be activated simultaneously. One can draw a conclusion that PCNN has the advantage of realizing the regional segmentation, and the details of original image can be achieved by the parameter adjustment of segmented images, and at the same time, the trivial segmented regions can be avoided. For the better approximation of irregular segmented regions, the Gram-Schmidt method, by which a group of orthonormal basis functions is constructed from a group of linear independent initial base functions, is adopted. Because of the orthonormal reconstructing method, the quality of reconstructed image can be greatly improved and the progressive image transmission will also be possible.

MULTIDIMENSIONAL MULTI-KNOTS PIECEWISE LINEAR SPECTRAL SEQUENCES

Motivated by representing multidimensional periodic nonlinear and non-stationary signals （functions）, we study a class of orthonormal exponential basis for L2（Id） with I ：= [0, 1）, whose exponential parts are piecewise linear spectral sequences with p-knots. It is widely applied in time-frequency analysis.

Orthonormal Bases Associated with Multi-knot Piecewise Linear Function Sequences on[0,1)~n

We investigate two classes of orthonormal bases for L^2（[0, 1）^n）. The exponential parts of those bases are multi-knot piecewise linear functions which are called spectral sequences. We characterize the multi-knot piecewise linear spectral sequences and give an application of the first class of piecewise linear spectral sequences.

Convergence of the Cesaro Mean for Rational Orthonormal Bases

This paper deals with the convergence of the Cesaro mean for the rational orthonormal bases. Provided the set of zeroes of rational orthonormal bases is formed by a periodic repetition of the same finite sequence, the explicit expression of so-called block-Fejer kernel is available, and some properties of the block-Fejer kernel are discussed. Based on the convergence of the block-Cesaro mean, the convergence of Cesaro mean is also provided.

The Orthogonal Bases of Exponential Functions Based on Moran-Sierpinski Measures

Let An∈M2(ℤ)be integral matrices such that the infinite convolution of Dirac measures with equal weightsμ{A_(n),n≥1}δA_(1)^(-1)D*δA_(1)^(-1)A_(2)^(-2)D*…is a probability measure with compact support,where D={(0,0)^(t),(1,0)^(t),(0,1)^(t)}is the Sierpinski digit.We prove that there exists a setΛ⊂ℝ2 such that the family{e2πi〈λ,x〉:λ∈Λ} is an orthonormal basis of L^(2)(μ{A_(n),n≥1})if and only if 1/3(1,-1)A_(n)∈Z^(2)for n≥2 under some metric conditions on A_(n).

Pointwise Convergence and Uniform Convergence of Wavelet Frame Series

Model Predictive Control of Resonant Systems Using Kautz Model

The scope of this paper broadly spans in two areas： system identification of resonant system and design of an efficient control scheme suitable for resonant systems. Use of filters based on orthogonal basis functions （OBF） have been advocated for modelling of resonant process. Kautz filter has been identified as best suited OBF for this purpose. A state space based system identification technique using Kautz filters, viz. Kautz model, has been demonstrated. Model based controllers are believed to be more efficient than classical controllers because explicit use of process model is essential with these modelling techniques. Extensive literature search concludes that very few reports are available which explore use of the model based control studies on resonant system. Two such model based controllers are considered in this work, viz. model predictive controller and internal model controller. A model predictive control algorithm has been developed using the Kautz model. The efficacy of the model and the controller has been verified by two case studies, viz. linear second order underdamped process and a mildly nonlinear magnetic ball suspension system. Comparative assessment of performances of these controllers in those case studies have been carried out.
