Pi-coefficient analysis of update algorithms for adaptive systems

This paper finds the appropriate pi-coefficients for a parameter estimation adaptive system and uses them to analyze the stability of two estimation algorithms. The estimation error dynamics of the system are modeled by a linear time-invariant subsystem and a nonlinear time-varying update law in a feedback loop. Then the so-called max-p problems are formulated and solved to obtain the pi-coefficients for the linear subsystem and nonlinear update low. For the investigated system, the quantitative results show that the least-squares update algorithm has larger stability range than that of the gradient algorithm, and the σ-modification scheme gives larger stability ranges for both algorithms.

Finances and Well-Being: A Dynamic Equilibrium Model of Resources.

This study of 513 Dutch farmers tested a dynamic equilibrium model of resources (an extension of the conservation of resources theory; S. E. Hobfoll, 1989, 1998, 2001). With structural equation modeling, the advantages of a 3-wave longitudinal design were comprehensively used, such as addressing bidirectional causal effects and within-individual vs. between-individual change. This allowed for a careful analysis of the management function of resources in the stress process. Results showed that well-being had stronger within-person stability than finances. Increased levels of financial problems temporarily increased psychological distress but not self-reported illness. Conversely, farmers with higher stable baselines of psychological distress also had higher baselines of self-reported illness and experienced more negative changes in their financial situation.

Power Dissipation in Spintronic Devices Out of Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Quantum limits of power dissipation in spintronic computing are estimated. A computing element composed of a single electron in a quantum dot is considered. Dynamics of its spin due to external magnetic field and interaction with adjacent dots are described via the Bloch equations. Spin relaxation due to magnetic noise from various sources is described as coupling to a reservoir. Resulting dissipation of energy is calculated and is shown to be much less than the thermal limit, ∼kT per bit, if the rate of spin relaxation is much slower than the switching rate. Clues on how to engineer an energy efficient spintronic device are provided.
