For some anisotropic wave models, the PML (perfectly matched layer) method of open boundaries can become polynomially or exponentially unstable in time. In this work we present a new method of open boundaries, the phase space filter, which is stable for all wave equations. Outgoing waves can be characterized as waves located near the boundary of the computational domain with group velocities po...

Based on recently observed nonlinear dynamic features of human speech, the local projection (LP) method, originally developed for noisy chaotic time series, is generalized and adapted to the enhancement of Chinese speech. The analysis of minimum embedding dimensions estimated by the false nearest neighbor algorithm shows that all the basic phonemes and syllables in Chinese can be faithfully emb...
