In this work, we compare and contrast a few finite element h-adaptive and hp-adaptive algorithms. We test these schemes on three example PDE problems and we utilize and evaluate an a posteriori error estimate. In the process, we introduce a new framework to study adaptive algorithms and a posteriori error estimators. Our innovative environment begins with a solution u and then uses interpolatio...

In the paper the implementation aspects of mathematical morphology based on a new formalization of the window operation is presented. The proposed technique called the Reverse Window Operation (RWO) can also be applied to adaptive morphological operations. In order to reduce the control complexity an algorithm is proposed, which uses a region-based parameter modiication for the structuring elem...

We study how fluctuations in money growth correlate with fluctuations in real and nominal output growth and inflation. We pick cycles from each time series that last 2 to 8 (business cycles) and 8 to 40 (longer-term cycles) years, using band-pass filters. We employ a data set from 1880 to 2001 for eleven countries, without gaps. Fluctuations in money growth do not play a systematic and importan...

* The authors are with the IMTEL Institute, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro Abstract – This paper presents a new concept of band-pass filters with capacitive coupled resonators applied for realization of a printed filter in L band. The significant size reduction achieved by the original construction allows filter realization at these very low microwave frequencies. The agreement between the pre...

A generic lumped-element circuit of dual-band bandstop filter (DBBSF) is proposed based on novel composite shunt resonators, and its design method is developed with closed-form formulas. As an example, a DBBSF with center frequencies of 1.7 and 2.3GHz is designed and fabricated using microstrip lines. The measured frequency response agrees excellently with the theoretical predictions, validatin...

In distributed hash tables, much communication traffic comes from multi-word searches. The aim of this work is to reduce the amount of traffic by using a bloom filter, which is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure used to test whether or not an element is a member of a set. However, bloom filters have a limited role if several sets have different numbers of elements. In the proposed m...

The cosine modulated filter bank is commonly used for the timefrequency decomposition of audio signals. For example, it is a basic element of the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio coding standards. While this filter bank is not perfectly-reconstructing, it does provide for the cancelation of aliasing components that are introduced during the analysis decomposition. If the subband signals are to be proces...

A parallel, filter-based, sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is implemented and tested for typical general-purpose engineering applications. Constrained engineering test problems, including a finite element simulation, with up to 512 design variables are considered. The accuracy and serial performance of the filter-based algorithm are compared against that of a standard SQP algori...

Digital filters are commonly used as an essential element of everyday electronics such as radios, cell phones, and stereo receivers. Digital filters may be more expensive than an equivalent analog filter due to their increased complexity, but they may lead to many designs which are impractical or impossible as analog filters. Basically there are two types of digital filters, which are FIR (Fini...

In recent work, the authors introduced a data structure with the same functionality as a counting Bloom filter (CBF) based on fingerprints and the d-left hashing technique. This paper describes dynamic bit reassignment, an approach that allows the size of the fingerprint to flexibly change with the load in each hash bucket, thereby reducing the probability of a false positive. This technique al...
