چکیده

Given two n-bit (cyclic) binary strings, A and B, represented on a circle (necklace instances). Let each sequence have the same number k of 1’s. We are interested in computing the cyclic swap distance between A and B, i.e., the minimum number of swaps needed to convert A into B, minimized over all rotations of B. We show that this distance may be approximated in O(n + k2) time.

A Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition

Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...

A New Solution for the Cyclic Multiple-Part Type Three-Machine Robotic Cell Problem based on the Particle Swarm Meta-heuristic

In this paper, we develop a new mathematical model for a cyclic multiple-part type threemachine robotic cell problem. In this robotic cell a robot is used for material handling. The objective is finding a part sequence to minimize the cycle time (i.e.; maximize the throughput) with assumption of known robot movement. The developed model is based on Petri nets and provides a new method to calcul...

Approximation Bound for K-Means clustering of Binary Data

We prove that a p-swap search algorithm for the K-means clustering problem has an approximation bound 3 + 2 p , assuming a binary data set and Euclidean distance. This is tighter than the general bound “ 3 + 2 p ”2 . We also present an example resulting in a cost ratio of 3− . Thus, our bound is almost sharp for the p-swap algorithm.

A Novel Successive Approximation Method for Solving a Class of Optimal Control Problems

This paper presents a successive approximation method (SAM) for solving a large class of optimal control problems. The proposed analytical-approximate method, successively solves the Two-Point Boundary Value Problem (TPBVP), obtained from the Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP). The convergence of this method is proved and a control design algorithm with low computational complexity is present...
