We propose a modified version of the nonparametric level crossing random walk test, in which the crossing level is determined locally. This modification results in a test that is robust to unknown multiple structural breaks in the level and slope of the trend function under both the null and alternative hypothesis. No knowledge regarding the number or timing of the breaks is required. An algori...

WLAN has strong potential to provide a perfect broadband complement to the 3G wireless systems. This has raised much interest in their integration. In this paper, a novel architecture using the Network Inter-operating Agent (NIA), and Integration Gateway (IG) is proposed to integrate the 3G systems and WLANs of various providers that may not necessarily have direct service level agreement (SLA)...

We study the dynamics of a molecule’s nuclear wave-function near an avoided crossing of two electronic energy levels, for one nuclear degree of freedom. We derive the general form of the Schrödinger equation in the n-th superadiabatic representation for all n ∈ N. Using these results, we obtain closed formulas for the time development of the component of the wave function in an initially unoccu...

Atomic avoided crossings in strong magnetic and electric fields are usually identified by the energy level repulsion and by the sharp extremal value of the Shannon’s entropy of the two involved states. In this work the proposal of a new information-theoretic parameter, the continuous Fisher information, for the prediction and characterization of these nonlinear phenomena is done. For just aroun...

The second order statistics such as level crossing rate (LCR) and average outage duration (AOD) for switch and stay combining (SSC) receiver are analyzed in this paper. The presence of Hoyt fading at the branch's inputs is observed. The obtained expressions are calculated and shown graphically for different fading parameters and values of threshold decision. Key-Words: Average outage duration (...
