In this tutorial paper we present a generalization of the transversal filter, called Laguerre filter, and study some of its more remarkable properties. This filter is obtained by replacing each delay of the transversal filter by a first order all-pass section, and by applying a first order low-pass filter (with the same pole used in the all-pass sections) to the filter’s input signal. Both the ...

This work is concerned with the optimization of Laguerre bases for the orthonormal series expansion of discrete-time Volterra models. The aim is to minimize the number of Laguerre functions associated with a given series truncation error, thus reducing the complexity of the resulting finite dimensional representation. Fu and Dumont [14] indirectly approached this problem in the context of linea...

Let Ω be a symmetric cone and V the corresponding simple Euclidean Jordan algebra. In [2, 5, 6, 8] we considered the family of generalized Laguerre functions on Ω that generalize the classical Laguerre functions on R. This family forms an orthogonal basis for the subspace of L-invariant functions in L(Ω, dμν), where dμν is a certain measure on the cone and where L is the group of linear transfo...

Kleinewillinghöfer classified Laguerre planes with respect to central automorphisms and obtained a multitude of types. In this paper we investigate the Kleinewillinghöfer types of finite Laguerre planes with respect to homotheties and deal with some of the larger types.

We present some geometric relationships between the ordinary Voronoi diagram, and the Voronoi diagram in the Laguerre geometry. We derive from these properties an algorithm for the conversion of ordinary Voronoi diagrams into Voronoi diagrams in the Laguerre geometry.

New inequalities are investigated for real entire functions in the Laguerre-Pólya class. These are generalizations of the classical Turán and Laguerre inequalities. They provide necessary conditions for certain real entire functions to have only real zeros.

Visual information of videos is based on spatial and temporal extents. However, most of video indexing techniques work in the spatial extent. Thus, spatial features are extracted from individual frames and then temporal information is introduced by their temporal evolution or tracking in order to construct motion vectors that serve as temporal features. In this paper we present a novel approach...

In this paper a time-frequency estimator for enhancement of noisy speech signals in the DFT domain is introduced. This estimator is based on modeling the time-varying correlation of the temporal trajectories of the short time (ST) DFT components of the noisy speech signal using autoregressive (AR) models. The timevarying trajectory of the DFT components of speech in each channel is modeled by a...

In this paper we prove Riesz transform characterizations for Hardy spaces associated with certain systems of Laguerre functions.

Whereas there is an exact linear relation between the Wiener indices of kenograms and plerograms of isomeric alkanes, the respective terminal Wiener indices exhibit a completely different behavior: Correlation between terminal Wiener indices of kenograms and plerograms is absent, but other regularities can be envisaged. In this article, we analyze the basic properties of terminal Wiener indices...
