This paper sets out a method for improving the resolution of resonant microwave sensors. Usually, frequency response these devices is associated with low quality factor, and consequently in terms tracking capacity resonance shift. Furthermore, since only finite number samples can be acquired during measurement process, “true” may not included set data. In order to have an accurate estimate freq...

Belief propagation is a powerful procedure to perform inference, and exhibits near-optimal performance in iterative decoding/demapping. However, a complete analysis of the iterative process is still lacking, and convergence of the procedure has not proved in general cases. Information geometry offers a new view from differential geometry to understand this problem. In this thesis, we try to und...

Determining the correspondences among heterogeneous data sources, which is critical to integration of the data sources, is a complex and resource-consuming task that demands automated support. We propose an iterative procedure for detecting both schema-level and instance-level correspondences from heterogeneous data sources. Cluster analysis techniques are used first to identify similar schema ...

The multi-scale-finite-volume (MSFV) procedure for the approximate solution of elliptic problems with varying coefficients has been recently modified by introducing an iterative loop to achieve any desired level of accuracy (iterative MSFV, IMSFV). We further develop the iterative concept considering a Galerkin approach to define the coarse-scale problem, which is one of the key elements of the...

Recently, much emphasis has given to study the control and maintenance of production inventories of the deteriorating items. Rework is one of the main issues in reverse logistic and green supply chain, since it can reduce production cost and the environmental problem. Many researchers have focused on developing rework model, but few of them have developed model for deteriorating items. Due to t...

Colonel Blotto “secret files” are opened and Information about the way that people play the game is revealed. The files rely on web-based experiments, which involve a tournament version of the Colonel Blotto Game. A total of 6,500 subjects from two diverse populations participated in the tournaments. The results are analyzed in light of a novel procedure of multi-dimensional iterative reasoning...

The paper deals with estimation of finite distribution mixtures which are practically important in cluster analysis, pattern recognition and other fields. After a brief survey of existing methods attention is confined to maximum-likelihood estimates, especially to an iterative procedure frequently discussed in the recent literature. It is shown that this procedure in a general form converges mo...

Practical approaches to clustering use an iterative procedure (e.g. K-Means, EM) which converges to one of numerous local minima. It is known that these iterative techniques are especially sensitive to initial starting conditions. We present a procedure for computing a refined starting condition from a given initial one that is based on an efficient technique for estimating the modes of a distr...

We introduce virtual multi-level iterative methods (VML) which attempt to remove the low frequency errors by conducting some special smoothing (residual norm minimization) procedure with respect to the coarse grids. However, there is no coarse grid formed explicitly, no inter-grid transfer operator is needed, and even the smoothing procedure can be done almost locally. These properties are attr...
