The goals of this research included comparisons of standard and novel, non-standard processing techniques on linear arrays of vector sensors, and development of new inversion methods based on information contained in the acoustic vector field. A result of this study is then to show how the additional information contained in the acoustic vector field (pressure and particle velocity) may be used...

The generalized inversion attack on nonlinear filter generators is developed and analyzed by the theory of critical branching processes. Unlike the inversion attack which requires that the filter function be linear in the first or the last input variable, this attack can be applied for any filter function. Both theory and systematic experiments conducted show that its time complexity remains cl...

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ABSTRACT In this paper we introduce a new class of what we shall call polynomial Vandermonde-like matrices. This class generalizes the polynomial Vandermonde matrices studied earlier by various authors, who derived explicit inversion formulas and fast algorithms for inversion and for solving the associated linear systems. A displacement structure approach...

It is well known the relationship between source separation and blind deconvolution: If a filtered version of an unknown i.i.d. signal is observed, temporal independence between samples can be used to retrieve the original signal, in the same manner as spatial independence is used for source separation. In this paper we propose the use of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to blindly invert linear channe...

We explore the possibility of using Stochastic Bracketing Linear Inversion Transduction Grammars for a full-scale German–English translation task, both on their own and in conjunction with alignments induced with GIZA++. The rationale for transduction grammars, the details of the system and some results are presented.

Shear-wave velocity ( ) is an important parameter used for site characterization in geotechnical engineering. However, dispersion curve inversion is challenging for most inversion methods due to its high non-linearity and mix-determined trait. In order to overcome these problems, in this study, a joint inversion strategy is proposed based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The ...

An infinitely long hollow cylinder containing isotropic linear elastic material is considered under the effect of arbitrary boundary stress and thermal condition. The two-dimensional coupled thermoelastodynamic PDEs are specified based on equations of motion and energy equation, which are uncoupled using Nowacki potential functions. The Laplace integral transform and Bessel-Fourier series are u...
