Variable code sets (VCS), a spreading codes selection scheme, can improve the PAPR property of the MC-CDMA signals, but this technique requires an exhaustive search over the combinations of spreading code sets. It is observed that when the number of active users increases, the search complexity will increase exponentially. Based on this fact, we propose a low complexity VCS (LC-VCS) method to reduce the computational complexity. The basic idea of LC-VCS is to derive new signals using the relationship between candidature signals. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can reduce PAPR with lower comtational pucomplexity. In addition, it can be blindly received without any side information.展开更多

In the present study, the 2D numerical N-S solver based on the adaptive quadtree mesh system was extended to a 3D one, in which a spatially adaptive oetree mesh system and multiple particle level set method were adopted for the convenience to deal with the air-water-structure multiple-medium coexisting domain. The stretching process of a dumbbell was simulated and the results indicate that the meshes are well adaptable to the free surface. The collapsing process of water column impinging a circle cylinder was simulated and from the results, it can be seen that the processes of fluid splitting and merging are properly simulated. The interaction of second-order Stokes waves with a square cylinder was simulated and the obtained drag force is consistent with the result by the Morison's wave force formula with the coefficient values of the stable drag component and the inertial force component bein~ set as 2.54.展开更多

In practical applications, we find that the results derived by using the traditional intuitionistic triangular fuzzy aggregation operators based on intuitionistic triangular fuzzy sets are sometimes inconsistent with intuition. To overcome this issue, based on the [1/9, 9] scale, we define the concepts of intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy set and intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy number, and then we discuss their operational laws and some desirable properties. Based on the operational laws, we develop a series of aggregation operators for intuitionistic multiplicative triangular fuzzy information, and then apply them to propose an approach to multi-attribute decision making under intuitionistic fuzzy environments. Finally, we use a practical example involving the evaluation of investment alternatives of an investment company to demonstrate our aggregation operators and decision making approach.展开更多
