In this paper, we study the iterative algorithms for saddle point problems(SPP). Bai, Golub and Pan recently studied a class of preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods(PHSS). By further accelerating it with another parameters, using the Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting iteration technique we present the generalized preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting me...

Robust Clock Synchronization in Wireless Sensor Networks. (August 2010) Sawin Saibua, B.Eng., Chulalongkorn University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Erchin Serpedin Clock synchronization between any two nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs) is generally accomplished through exchanging messages and adjusting clock offset and skew parameters of each node’s clock. To cope with unknown netwo...

We show that a specific skew-symmetric form of nonlinear hyperbolic problems leads to energy and entropy bounds. Next, we exemplify by considering the compressible Euler equations in primitive variables, transform them how obtain estimates. Finally formulation lead stable discrete approximations if scheme is formulated on summation-by-parts form.

Kornel Szlachányi [28] recently used the term skew-monoidal category for a particular laxi ed version of monoidal category. He showed that bialgebroids H with base ring R could be characterized in terms of skew-monoidal structures on the category of one-sided R-modules for which the lax unit was R itself. We de ne skew monoidales (or skew pseudo-monoids) in any monoidal bicategory M . These are...

Ideals are one of the main topics of interest when it comes to the study of the order structure of an algebra. Due to their nice properties, ideals have an important role both in lattice theory and semigroup theory. Two natural concepts of ideal can be derived, respectively, from the two concepts of order that arise in the context of skew lattices. The correspondence between the ideals of a ske...

ents near these stations become increasingly steep. The generalized skew map selected for this study was based on a grid spacing of 20,000 meters and 12 stations. The part of the map for western Oregon is shown in figure 8. This map was selected because it had the smallest mean square error while having skew isolines that are smooth and with no peaks or valleys. This map offers considerable imp...

Let R = K[x;σ] be a skew polynomial ring over a division ring K. We introduce the notion of derivatives of skew polynomial at scalars. An analogous definition of derivatives of commutative polynomials from K[x] as a function of K[x] → K[x] is not possible in a non-commutative case. This is the reason why we have to define the derivative of a skew polynomial at a scalar. Our definition is based ...

In this work we approach the problem of model comparison between skew families. For the univariate skew model, we measure the sensitivity of the skewness parameter using the L1-distance between symmetric and asymmetric models and we obtain explicit expressions for some of these models. The main result is that the L1-distance between a representable elliptical distribution and a representable sk...

BACKGROUND Current K-DOQI recommendations call for an assessment of dialysis adequacy that depends critically on an estimate of total body water (TBW). Such estimates are problematic in children since the range of patient size is large, and often formulas derived in normals are not validated in end-stage renal disease. Gold standard methods of TBW measurement, such as deuterium dilution ((2)H(2...

All synchronous CMOS integrated systems have to pay some sequencing overhead. This overhead includes the skew and the jitter of the clock. It also includes the setup time and the clock-to-output delay of the flip-flops. This paper discusses how much energy should be allocated for sequencing in these systems. It is pointed out that providing too little energy is just as bad as providing too much...
