this paper presents a theoretical approach to implementation of the “multi-realization of nonlinear mimo systems”. this method aims to find state-variable realization for a set of systems, sharing as many parameters as possible. in this paper a special nonlinear multi-realization problem, namely the multi-realization of feedback linearizable nonlinear systems is considered and an algorithm for ...

The non-unitarity of the effective leptonic mixing matrix at low energies is a generic signal of extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with extra fermionic singlet particles, i.e. “sterile” or “right-handed” neutrinos, to account for the observed neutrino masses. The low energy effects of such extensions can be described in a model-independent way by the Minimal Unitarity Violation (MUV) scheme...

This thesis presents a study about the integration of information about Multiword Expressions (MWEs) into parsing with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). We build on previous work by Nivre and Nilsson (2004) and by Korkontzelos and Manandhar (2010) who have shown the benefit of adding information about MWEs to syntactic parsing by implementing a similar pipeline with CCG parsing. More specif...

This study concerns parameterization and subsequent subtraction of the fast decaying signals of macromolecules from in vivo MRS signals of tissue metabolites of interest. The parameterization is done with a State Space approach (HSVD) based on singular value decomposition. The method is tested with a simulated non-exponentially damped macromolecule signal and an exponentially damped metabolite ...

This paper considers discriminative training of language models for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition. The minimum word error (MWE) criterion was explored to make use of the word confusion information as well as the local lexical constraints inherent in the acoustic training corpus, in conjunction with those constraints obtained from the background text corpus, for properly guiding...

Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) optimization using Proportional Hazards Model (PHM) is a kind of maintenance optimization problem in which inspections of a system relevant to its failure rate depending on the age and value of covariates are performed in time intervals. The general approach for constructing a CBM based on PHM for a system is to minimize a long run average cost per unit of time...

The topics of this paper are matrix factorizations and the minimal state space realization problem in the maxplus algebra, which is one of the modeling frameworks that can be used to model discrete event systems. We present a heuristic algorithm to compute a factorization of a matrix in the max-plus algebra. Next we use this algorithm to determine the minimal system order (and to construct a mi...

We study the state complexity of the reverse of acyclic minimal deterministic finite automata, and the computational complexity of the following problem: Given an acyclic minimal DFA, is the minimal DFA for the reverse also acyclic? Note that we allow self-loops in acyclic automata. We show that there exists a language accepted by an acyclic minimal DFA such that the minimal DFA for its reverse...

We demonstrate that the minimal state space realization problem in the max algebra can be transformed into an Extended Linear Complementarity Problem (ELCP). We use an algorithm that finds all solutions of an ELCP to find all equivalent minimal state space realizations of a single input single output (SISO) discrete event system. We also give a geometrical description of the set of all minimal ...
