Optimized Schwarz methods without overlap for highly heterogeneous media

In this paper an original variant of the Schwarz domain decomposition method is introduced for heterogeneous media. This method uses new optimized interface conditions specially designed to take into account the heterogeneity between the sub-domains on each sides of the interfaces. Numerical experiments illustrate the dependency of the proposed method with respect to several parameters, and confirm the robustness and efficiency of this method based on such optimized interface conditions. Several mesh partitions taking into account multiple cross points are considered in these experiments.     

Optimal search for signals in a multichannel system: Arbitrary initial distribution in state space merging scheme

Markovian and semi-Markovian random processes are used to analyze the problem of optimal search for signals in a multichannel communication system with arbitrarily distributed random outputs. The search efficiency factor is found in explicit form based on state space merging, and a mathematical programming problem is set up to find a numerical suboptimal solution. __________ Translated from Kibernetika i Sistemnyi Analiz, No. 3, pp. 144–150, May–June 2007.     

Gelfand-Yaglom-Perez theorem for generalized relative entropy functionals

The measure-theoretic definition of Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy (or simply KL-entropy) plays a basic role in defining various classical information measures on general spaces. Entropy, mutual information and conditional forms of entropy can be expressed in terms of KL-entropy and hence properties of their measure-theoretic analogs will follow from those of measure-theoretic KL-entropy. These measure-theoretic definitions are key to extending the ergodic theorems of information theory to non-discrete cases. A fundamental theorem in this respect is the Gelfand-Yaglom-Perez (GYP) Theorem [M.S. Pinsker, Information and Information Stability of Random Variables and Process, 1960, Holden-Day, San Francisco, CA (English ed., 1964, translated and edited by Amiel Feinstein), Theorem. 2.4.2] which states that measure-theoretic relative-entropy equals the supremum of relative-entropies over all measurable partitions. This paper states and proves the GYP-theorem for Rényi relative-entropy of order greater than one. Consequently, the result can be easily extended to Tsallis relative-entropy.     

Testing the robustness of CIECAM02

CIE TC8‐01 has adopted a new color appearance model: CIECAM02¹ replaces the CIECAM97s.² The new model consists of a number of refinements and simplifications of the CIECAM97s color appearance model. This article describes further tests to the robustness of the forward and reverse modes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An Efficient Code-Based Voxel-Traversing Algorithm

The paper considers an efficient approach to traversing a uniformly-subdivided space pierced by a line segment. A voxel, as the basic constituent element of the uniformly subdivided space, is restricted to having the form of a cube. The algorithm works in two steps. In the first step, the so-called Bresenham voxels are identified and, by comparing their position codes, their type of connectivity is determined. To achieve the required connectivity between neighbouring voxels, the second step of the algorithm is applied to find the missing voxels. In this way, the algorithm efficiently switches between face-, edge- and vertex-connectivity. Although the algorithm works with oating-point precision, it is extremely computationally efficient, and tests of speed compared with the Müller, Cleary & Wyvill, Amanatides & Woo, and Zemčik algorithms are described.

Comparisons of Urban Travel Forecasts Prepared with the Sequential Procedure and a Combined Model

Detailed analyses and comparisons of urban travel forecasts prepared by applying the state-of-practice sequential procedure and the solution of a combined network equilibrium model are presented. The sequential procedure for solving the trip distribution, mode choice and assignment problems with feedback is the current practice in most transportation planning agencies, although its important limitations are well known. The solution of a combined model, in contrast, results from a single mathematical formulation, which ensures a well-converged and consistent result. Using a real network, several methods for solving the sequential procedure with feedback are compared to the solution of the combined model ESTRAUS. The results of these methods are shown to have various levels of instability. The paper concludes with a call for a new paradigm of travel forecasting practice based on an internally consistent model formulation that can be solved to a level of precision suitable for comparing alternative scenarios.
