Quasi-Upward Planarity

Abstract. An upward planar drawing of a directed graph (digraph) is a planar drawing such that all the edges are represented by curves monotonically increasing in the vertical direction. In this paper we introduce and study the concept of quasi-upward planarity. Quasi-upward planarity allows us to extend the upward planarity theory to a large class of digraphs including digraphs that also have directed cycles. First, we characterize the digraphs that have a quasi-upward planar drawing. Second, we give a polynomial time algorithm for computing ``optimal' quasi-upward planar drawings within a given planar embedding. Further, we apply branch and bound techniques to the problem of computing optimal quasi-upward planar drawings, considering all possible planar embeddings. The paper also contains experimental results about the proposed techniques.

原对偶积极集法求解改进的有界约束图像恢复问题

为了提高模糊加噪声图像的恢复质量,提出了一种用于图像恢复处理的改进的带约束的正则化模型。该模型首先利用Levine等人提出的变指数、线性增长函数作为正则项,并根据图像局部特征选择合适的正则参数,这样既保留了总变差正则化方法在恢复图像边缘方面的优势,又减少了梯子现象;其次,为进一步提高恢复图像的质量,在此基础上再添加有界约束条件,如将灰度值固定在某范围内,以形成约束优化问题。由于它的求解相对复杂,为此可应用原对偶积极集法求解,其实质就是用半光滑Newton法来求解由约束优化问题转化所得到的方程组。数值实验表明,此方法是可行的和有效的。     

时变不确定非线性系统自适应滑模跟踪控制

针对一般的具有时变且界未知的非线性不确定性的单输入多输出非线性系统,提出一种自适应滑模跟踪控制器的框架.在该框架内,系统的时变且界未知的非线性不确定性可以通过函数逼近技术(FAT)表示成为一组正交基函数序列的组合,并通过滑模控制技术和直接Lyapunov方法获得基函数系数的更新律以及对不确定性逼近误差的在线自适应补偿,从而得到自适应的滑模控制律.所提出的基于函数逼近技术的自适应滑模跟踪控制策略在直流电机跟踪控制系统实验装置上进行了实际控制实验,并进行了性能的对比与分析.     

On the Black-Box Complexity of Sperner’s Lemma

We present several results on the complexity of various forms of Sperner’s Lemma in the black-box model of computing. We give a deterministic algorithm for Sperner problems over pseudo-manifolds of arbitrary dimension. The query complexity of our algorithm is linear in the separation number of the skeleton graph of the manifold and the size of its boundary. As a corollary we get an deterministic query algorithm for the black-box version of the problem 2D-SPERNER, a well studied member of Papadimitriou’s complexity class PPAD. This upper bound matches the deterministic lower bound of Crescenzi and Silvestri. The tightness of this bound was not known before. In another result we prove for the same problem an lower bound for its probabilistic, and an lower bound for its quantum query complexity, showing that all these measures are polynomially related.

Supporting the creative drive: investigating paralinguistic voice as a mode of interaction for artists with upper limb disabilities

For people with upper limb disabilities visual art is an important activity that allows for expression of individuality and independence. They show remarkable endurance, patience and determination to adapt their remaining capabilities to create visual art. There are significant advantages of digital technologies in assisting artists with upper limb disabilities. Paralinguistic voice recognition technologies have proven to be a particularly promising mode of interaction. Despite these benefits, technological support for people with upper limb disabilities to create visual art is scarce. This paper reports on a number of case studies of several artists with upper limb disabilities. These case studies illustrate the struggles they face to be creative and also show the significant advantages of digital technologies in assisting such artists. An investigation into people’s ability to use the volume of their voice to control cursor movement to create drawings on the screen is also reported. With motivation, training and practise, use of volume to control drawing tasks shows great promise. It is believed that paralinguistic voice has wider implications beyond assisting artists with upper limb disabilities, such as: an alternative mode of interaction for disabled people to perform tasks other than creating visual art, alternative mode of interaction for hands busy environments and as a voice training system for people with speech impairments.     

Combining the Hanning windowed interpolated FFT in both directions

The interpolated fast Fourier transform (IFFT) has been proposed as a way to eliminate the picket fence effect (PFE) of the fast Fourier transform. The modulus based IFFT, cited in most relevant references, makes use of only the 1st and 2nd highest spectral lines. An approach using three principal spectral lines is proposed. This new approach combines both directions of the complex spectrum based IFFT with the Hanning window. The optimal weight to minimize the estimation variance is established on the first order Taylor series expansion of noise interference. A numerical simulation is carried out, and the results are compared with the Cramer-Rao bound. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach has a lower estimation variance than the two-spectral-line approach. The improvement depends on the extent of sampling deviating from the coherent condition, and the best is decreasing variance by 2/7. However, it is also shown that the estimation variance of the windowed IFFT with the Hanning is significantly higher than that of without windowing.     

Laser-Printed Plasmonic Metasurface Supporting Bound States in the Continuum Enhances and Shapes Infrared Spontaneous Emission of Coupled HgTe Quantum Dots

In order to advance the development of quantum emitter-based devices, it is essential to enhance light-matter interactions through coupling between semiconductor quantum dots with high quality factor resonators. Here, efficient tuning of the emission properties of HgTe quantum dots in the infrared spectral region is demonstrated by coupling them to a plasmonic metasurface that supports bound states in the continuum. The plasmonic metasurface, composed of an array of gold nanobumps, is fabricated using single-step direct laser printing, opening up new opportunities for creating exclusive 3D plasmonic nanostructures and advanced photonic devices in the infrared region. A 12-fold enhancement of the photoluminescence in the 900–1700 nm range is observed under optimal coupling conditions. By tuning the geometry of the plasmonic arrays, controllable shaping of the emission spectra is achieved, selectively enhancing specific wavelength ranges across the emission spectrum. The observed enhancement and shaping of the emission are attributed to the Purcell effect, as corroborated by systematic measurements of radiative lifetimes and optical simulations based on the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations. Moreover, coupling of the HgTe photoluminescence to high quality factor modes of the metasurface improves emission directivity, concentrating output within an ≈20° angle.     

Improved robust exponential stability for Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy uncertain systems with time-varying delays

This paper concerns managing the robust exponential stability problem of uncertain Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with time-varying delay by employing a further improved integral inequality matrix approach. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, delay-dependent robust exponential stability criteria have been developed. By taking the relationship among the time-varying delay, its upper bound and their difference into account, some less conservative LMI-based delay-dependent robust exponential stability criteria are obtained without ignoring any useful terms in the derivative of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals. Maximum allowable upper bound for time-varying delays is determined. Numerical examples are provided to show that the obtained results significantly improve the allowed upper bounds of delay size over some methods existing in the literature.
