An efficient Lookup Table (LUT) design for memory-based multiplier is proposed.  This multiplier can be preferred in DSP computation where one of the inputs, which is filter coefficient to the multiplier, is fixed. In this design, all possible product terms of input multiplicand with the fixed coefficient are stored directly in memory. In contrast to an earlier proposition Odd Multiple Storage ...

For a connected semisimple algebraic group G, we consider some special infinite series of tensor products of simple G-modules whose G-fixed point spaces are at most one-dimensional. We prove that their existence is closely related to the existence of open G-orbits in multiple flag varieties and address the problem of classifying such series. Let G be a connected simply connected semisimple alge...

Let M be a normal martingale (i.e. < M; M > (t) = t), we decompose the product of two multiple stochastic integrals (with respect to M) I n (f)I m (g) as a sum of n^m terms H k. H k is equal to the integral over R k + of the function t ! I n+m?2k (h k (t; :)), with respect to the k-tensor product of dM; M]:; h k being an explicit function depending only on f and g. Our formula generalizes the w...

The trend of forming alliances to develop new products continues; however, many of these new product alliances fail. As such we explore how key risk types intrinsic in new product alliances, performance, relational, and knowledge appropriation risks, influence alliance success. Further, we theorize that different alliance governance mechanisms can reduce the negative impact of risks on alliance...

Real-time delivery of products in the context of stochastic demands and multiple vehicles is a difficult problem, as it requires the joint investigation of the problems in inventory control and vehicle routing. We model this problem in the framework of Average-reward Reinforcement Learning (ARL) and present experimental results on a modelbased ARL algorithm called H-Learning with piecewise line...

The need to mass produce electronic components such as computer chips in early 70’s generated demand for production facilities that were flexible to switch from one type of product to the next with relative ease. Automation played an important role in speeding the machine set ups, machine loading, and processing time. While electronic industry has epitomized the need for such automated manufact...

F several of the largest supermarket product categories, such as carbonated soft drinks, canned soups, ready-to-eat cereals, and cookies, consumers regularly purchase assortments of products. Within the category, consumers often purchase multiple products and multiple units of each alternative selected on a given trip. This multiple discreteness violates the single-unit purchase assumption of m...

With the increase in new product introductions in consumer packaged goods categories, supermarkets are reluctant to accept new products. Therefore, it is very important for manufacturers to convince retailers of the high-demand potential of their products. We study how a high-demand manufacturer can use advertising, slotting allowances, andwholesale prices to signal its high demand to retailers...

Blind channel identification and equalization have recently attracted a great deal of attention due to their potential application in mobile communications and digital TV systems. In this paper, we present a new algorithm that utilizes second-order statistics for multichannel parameter estimation. The algorithm is simple and relies on an outer-product decomposition. Its implementation requires ...
