A stochastic hybrid system, also known as a switching diffusion, is continuous-time Markov process with state space consisting of discrete and continuous parts. We consider parametric estimation the Q matrix for transitions drift coefficient diffusion part. First, we derive likelihood function under complete observation sample path in continuous-time. Then, extending finite-dimensional filter h...

Combination of the Evolutionary and Conventional algorithms has opened a new horizon to Optimization algorithms. In the previous hybrid algorithm, firstly an evolutionary algorithm has been applied and then the obtained result has been employed as an initial guess for a conventional algorithm. In this method the advantages of each algorithm cannot be realized while they are running at the same ...

This paper presents an adaptive hybrid Chase-like algorithm for Reed-Solomon codes, which is based on the list decoding algorithm. The adaptive hybrid algorithm is based on the reliability threshold to exclude the more reliable bits from being processed by the list decoding algorithm and reduce the complexity of the hybrid algorithm. Simulation results show that the decoding complexities of the...

In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...

Abstract:   The use of Concrete beams reinforced with a combination of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and steel bars has increased dramatically in recent years, due to improvement in strength and flexural ductility simultaneously. In this paper, we proposed a new equation for estimating the effective moment of inertia of hybrid FRP-steel reinforced concrete (RC) beams on the basis of the...

in this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. the estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. however, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. hen...
