The synthesis of a feedforward unit for H2 optimal decoupling of measurable or previewed signals in discrete-time linear time-invariant systems is considered. It is shown that an H2 optimal compensator can be achieved by connecting a finite impulse response (FIR) system and a stable dynamic unit. To derive the FIR system convolution profiles an easily implementable computational scheme based on...

Abstrrrct-An algorithm to correct for constant attenuation in SPECT is derived from the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a discrete representation of the exponential Radon transform using natural pixels. The algorithm is based on the assumption that a continuous image can be obtained by backprojecting the discrete array q, which is the least squares solution to Mq = p, where p is the array...

In the numerical evaluation of geodetic convolution integrals, whether by quadrature or discrete/fast Fourier transform (D/FFT) techniques, the integration kernel is sometimes computed at the centre of the discretised grid cells. For singular kernels a common case in physical geodesy this approximation produces significant errors near the computation point, where the kernel changes rapidly acro...

Debbah and Ryan have recently [DR07] proved a result about the limit empirical singular distribution of the sum of two rectangular random matrices whose dimensions tend to infinity. In this paper, we reformulate it in terms of the rectangular free convolution introduced in [BG07b] and then we give a new, shorter, proof of this result under weaker hypothesis: we do not suppose the probability me...
