This paper proposes an algorithm that distributes bits according to different noise margin levels, thereby realizing unequal error protection (UEP). The new approach is based on a non-UEP allocation algorithm by Chow, Cioffi, and Bingham. The new algorithm is designed to be robust to non-stationary impulse noise and channel variations by integrating a new SNR-sorting scheme. Simulation results ...

tthe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. this paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. as a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple gaussian radial-basis-function network as an uncertainty estimator. the proposed netw...

This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...

a common problem arising in project management is the fact that the baseline schedule is often disrupted during the project execution because of uncertain parameters. as a result, project managers are often unable to meet the deadline time of the milestones. robust project scheduling is an effective approach in case of uncertainty. upon adopting this approach, schedules are protected against po...

In this paper, we introduce a model  to optimization of milk run system that is one of VRP problem with time window and uncertainty in inventory. This approach led to the routes with minimum cost of transportation while satisfying all inventory in a given bounded set of uncertainty .The problem is formulated as a robust optimization problem. Since the resulted problem illustrates that grows up ...

Concentration of frequency and time (ConceFT) is a generalized multitaper algorithm introduced to analyze complicated non-stationary series. To avoid the randomness in original ConceFT algorithm, we apply novel complex spherical design technique standardize ConceFT, which coin CQU-ConceFT. The proposed CQU-ConceFT applied visualize spindle structure electroencephalogram signal during N2 sleep s...

We present a robust optimization approach to portfolio management under uncertainty that builds upon insights gained from the well-known Lognormal model for stock prices, while addressing that model’s limitations, in particular, the issue of fat tails being underestimated in the Gaussian framework and the active debate on the correct distribution to use. Our approach, which we call Log-robust i...

This paper proposes a robust model for optimizing collaborative reverse supply chains. The primary idea is to develop a collaborative framework that can achieve the best solutions in the uncertain environment. Firstly, we model the exact problem in the form of a mixed integer nonlinear programming. To regard uncertainty, the robust optimization is employed that searches for an optimum answer wi...
