We apply our proposed formula to a technique used in nonlinear finite-element methods and discuss methods for determining singular points, such as bifurcation points and limit points. In our proposed method, the increment in arc length (or other relevant quantities) may be determined automatically, allowing a reduction in the number of basic parameters. The method is particularly effective for banded matrices, which allow a significant reduction in memory requirements as compared to dense matrices. We discuss the theoretical foundations of our proposed method, present algorithms and programs that implement it, and conduct numerical experiments to investigate its effectiveness.展开更多

Furthermore, by means of the initialization via the propagator method, this paper accelerates the convergence procedure of the proposed algorithm with no estimation performance degradation. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be directly applied to the multiple-source scenario,where sources have different angular distribution shapes. Numerical simulation results corroborate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed fast PARAFAC-based algorithm.展开更多

Based on the room reverberant model and the multichannel adaptive eigenvalue decomposition （MCAED） algorithm, the proposed method can iteratively estimate impulse response coefficients between the speech source and microphones by the adaptive subgradient projection method. Then, it acquires the time delays of microphone pairs, and calculates the source position by the geometric method. Compared with the traditional normal least mean square （NLMS） algorithm, the adaptive subgradient projection method achieves faster and more accurate convergence in a low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） environment. Simulations for glasses digital hearing aids with four-component square array demonstrate the robust performance of the proposed method.展开更多

Sufficient conditions for the existence of such matrix decompositions are given, some differentiability about certain elements arising from them are proved, and several explicit expressions for derivatives of the specified elements are provided. By using these smooth LU decompositions, we propose two numerical methods for computing multiple nonlinear eigenvalues of A（A）, and establish their locally quadratic convergence properties. Several numerical examples are provided to show the feasibility and effectiveness of these new methods.展开更多
