As a new sparse kernel modeling technique, support vector regression has become a promising method in structural reliability analysis. However, in the standard quadratic programming support vector regression, its implementation is computationally expensive and sufficient model sparsity cannot be guaranteed. In order to mitigate these difficulties, this paper presents a new multiwavelet linear p...

In this paper, loss probabilities and steady state probabilities of data packets for an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network are investigated under the buffer division and push-out schemes. Data packets are classified in classes k which arrive in Poisson fashion to the service facility and are served with general service rate under buffer division scheme, finite buffer space N is divided in...

We present an hierarchical scheme where the propagator in quantum dynamics is represented using a multiwavelet basis. The approach allows for a recursive refinement methodology, where the representation in momentum space can be adaptively improved through additional, decoupled layers of basis functions. The method is developed within the constructs of quantum-wavepacket ab initio molecular dyna...

By using affine-invariant shape descriptors, it is possible to recognize an unknown planar object from an image taken from an arbitrary view when standard view images of candidate objects exist in a database. In a previous study, an affine-invariant function calculated from the wavelet coefficients of the object boundary has been proposed. In this work, the invariant is constructed from the mul...

A plenty of research about thresholding methods in wavelet domain has been proposed by many authors. Multiwavelet domain can be decomposed as scalar wavelets and differently according to the structure of scaling functions. When scaling functions are symmetric-antisymmetric, the antisymmetric part is low pass filter in mathematical formula. But in practice it works as high pass filter because of...

Vector wavelet transforms for vector-valued fields can be implemented directly from multiwavelets; however, existing multiwavelets offer surprisingly poor performance for transforms in vector-valued signal-processing applications. In this paper, the reason for this performance failure is identified, and a remedy is proposed. A multiwavelet design criterion, omnidirectional balancing, is introdu...

Abstract—Multifilter banks having all properties of symmetry, balancing, optimum time-frequency resolution, arbitrary order vanishing moment, orthogonality and compactly supported together are constructed for the first time. Thus overcome the shortcoming of the present orthogonal optimum time...
