We present a method for generating linearized images that consist of only diffuse reflection from images taken under near point light sources. Previous photometric linearization method cannot work under near point light sources, since it assumes parallel light. For satisfying this assumption, our method utilizes a photometric linearization method by dividing images into small regions. It also s...

Computing the steady state of multistage counter-current processes like distillation, extraction, or absorption is the equivalent to finding solutions for large scale non-linear equation systems. The conventional solution techniques are fast and efficient if a good estimation is available but are prone to fail, and do not provide information about the reason for the failure. This is the main mo...

Linearization technologies that can be used for linearizing RoF transmission are reviewed. Three main linearization methods, i.e. electrical analog linearization, optical linearization, and electrical digital linearization are presented and compared. Analog linearization can be achieved using analog predistortion circuits, and can be used for suppression of odd order nonlinear distortion compon...

This article is concerned with geometric integrators which are linearization-preserving, i.e. numerical integrators which preserve the exact linearization at every fixed point of an arbitrary system of ODEs. For a canonical Hamiltonian system, we propose a new symplectic and self-adjoint B-series method which is also linearization-preserving. In a similar fashion, we show that it is possible to...

In this paper, an analytical delay model of Source-Coupled Logic (SCL) gates is proposed. In particular, the multiplexer, the XOR and the D-latch gates are considered. The method starts from a linearization of SCL gates, and analysis of the equivalent circuit obtained is simplified by introducing the dominant-pole approximation. The delay expression obtained is quite simple and each term has an...

One of the most frequently used techniques to solve polynomial eigenvalue problems is linearization, in which the polynomial eigenvalue problem is turned into an equivalent linear eigenvalue problem with the same eigenvalues, and with easily recoverable eigenvectors. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the linearization are usually computed using a backward stable solver such as the QZ algorith...
