In evolutionary graph theory biologists study the problem of determining the probability that a small number of mutants overtake a population that is structured on a weighted, possibly directed graph. Currently Monte Carlo simulations are used for estimating such fixation probabilities on directed graphs, since no good analytical methods exist. In this paper, we introduce a novel deterministic ...

This paper introduces extended weighted linear prediction (XLP) to noise robust short-time spectrum analysis in the feature extraction process of a speech recognition system. XLP is a generalization of standard linear prediction (LP) and temporally weighted linear prediction (WLP) which have already been applied to noise robust speech recognition with good results. With XLP, higher controllabil...

A weighted directed graph G IS a triple (V, A . g) where (V. A) IS a directed graph and g is a n arbitrary real-valued function defined on the arc set A. Let G be a strongly-connected, simple weighted directed graph. We say tha t G is max-balanced if fo r every nontrivial ~ ubset of the vertices W, the maxImum weight over arcs leaving W equals the maximum weIght over arcs entering W. We show th...

The steeping chip weighting waveforms are used in Multiple Access Interference (MAI) cancellation by emphasizing the received spreading signal, therefore, that allows to solve the problem of orthogonality for the chip waveforms. Our paper presents a useful method based on fuzzy systems to determine the despreading sequences weighted by the steeping chip weighting waveforms for Direct Sequence C...

Seamless continuity is the main goal and challenge in fourth generation Wireless networks, to achieve seamless connectivity handoff technique is used, Handoff mechanism are mainly used when a mobile terminal(MT) is in overlapping area for service continuity. In Heterogeneous wireless networks main challenge is continual connection among the different networks like WiFi, WiMax, WLAN, WPAN etc. I...

Several types of kinetics-based thermal degradation models were evaluated to predict strength loss of fire-retardant-treated wood as a function of cumulative thermal exposure. The data were taken from previous tests and reports on small, clear specimens of southern pine treated with six different fire-retardant chemicals and subjected to various durations of a steady-state exposure at different...

Peptide mass fingerprinting is a technique to identify a protein from its fragment masses obtained by mass spectrometry after enzymatic digestion. Recently, much attention has been given to the question of how to evaluate the significance of identifications; results have been developed mostly from a combinatorial perspective. In particular, existing methods generally do not capture the fact tha...

Regularization of linear prediction based mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) extraction in speaker verification is considered. Commonly, MFCCs are extracted from the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spectrum of speech frames. In our recent study, it was shown that replacing the DFT spectrum estimation step with the conventional and temporally weighted linear prediction (LP) and their reg...

Abstract.This paper investigates group decisionmaking problems in which the criterion values take the form of interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic numbers (IIULNs). First, some additive operational laws of IIULNs are defined. Subsequently, some new arithmetic aggregation operators, such as the interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic weighted averaging (IIULWA) operato...
