The problems of fast channel estimation and fast start-up equalization in synchronous digital communication systems are considered from the viewpoint of the optimization of the training sequence to be transmitted. Various types of periodic sequences having uniform discrete power spectra are studied. Some of them are new and may be generated with data sets commonly used in phase modulation syste...

Leveraging recent results in finite-blocklength information theory, we investigate the problem of designing a control channel in a 5G system. The setup involves the transmission, under stringent latency and reliability constraints, of a short data packet containing a small information payload, over a propagation channel that offers limited frequency diversity and no time diversity. We present a...

Using the Lorenz model for viscoelastic medium approximation the melting of ultrathin lubricant film is studied by friction between atomically flat surfaces. The fluctuations of lubricant temperature are taken into account defined by Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The phase portraits are defined corresponding to the different regions of dynamic phase diagram and determining system’s kinetics. It i...

Fluctuation Theorem: a simple consequence of a time reversal symmetry; it deals with motions which are chaotic in the strong mathematical sense of being hyperbolic and transitive (ie are generated by smooth hyperbolic evolutions on a smooth compact surface (the “phase space”) and with a dense trajectory, also called Anosov systems) and “furthermore are time reversible”. In such systems any init...

The role of chemical reactions in the selection of patterns in phase-separating mixtures is presented. Linearized theory and computer simulation show that the initial long-wavelength instability characteristic of spinodal decomposition is suppressed by chemical reactions, which restrict domain growth to intermediate length scales even in the late stages of phase separation. Our findings suggest...

We show how the partial entanglement inherent in a two-mode squeezed vacuum state admits two different teleportation protocols. These two protocols refer to the different kinds of joint measurements that may be made by the sender. One protocol is the recently implemented quadrature phase approach of Braunstein and Kimble @Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 869 ~1998!#. The other is based on recognizing that ...

Focusing on purification of axis trace of rotating machinery, a new refinement method was proposed by application of singular value decomposition. At first, the original vibration signal was reconstructed in phase space by Hankel matrix; then the attractor track matrix was decomposed with singular value decomposition. Then, in order to determine the reconstruction order number of singular value...

This paper presents an approach for the optimal design of a new retrofi t technique called weakening and damping that is valid for civil engineering inelastic structures. An alternative design methodology is developed with respect to the existing ones that is able to determine the locations and the magnitude of weakening and/or softening of structural elements and adding damping while insuring ...

We present a CFO estimation algorithm and an associated channel estimation method for broadband OFDM systems with transmitter diversity. The CFO estimation algorithm explores the TD structure of the transmitted symbols carrying pilots and data, relying solely on the data component present on the symbols to estimate the CFO, thus avoiding additional overhead like training symbols or null subcarr...

We present a detailed report on the decoherence of quantum states of continuous variable systems under the action of a quantum optical master equation resulting from the interaction with general Gaussian uncorrelated environments. The rate of decoherence is quantified by relating it to the decay rates of various, complementary measures of the quantum nature of a state, such as the purity, some ...
