simultaneous estimation of the range and the angle of close emitters usually requires a multidimensional search. this paper proposes analgorithm to improve the position of an element for arrays designed on the basis of some certain or random rules. in the proposed method,one element moves along the same previous direction, maintaining its vertical distance from each source, to reach a constella...

Understanding information processing in the brain requires the ability to determine the functional connectivity between the different regions of the brain. We present a method using transfer entropy to extract this flow of information between brain regions from spike-train data commonly taken in neurological experiments. Transfer entropy is a statistical measure based in information theory that...

This paper is concerned with a technique for solving Volterra integro-dierential equationsin the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In contrast with the conventional reproducing kernelmethod, the Gram-Schmidt process is omitted here and satisfactory results are obtained.The analytical solution is represented in the form of series. An iterative method is given toobtain the...

We present a method that allows to distinguish between nearly periodic and strictly periodic time series. To this purpose, we employ a conservative criterion for periodicity, namely, that the time series can be interpolated by a periodic function whose local extrema are also present in the time series. Our method is intended for the analysis of time series generated by deterministic time-contin...

Clinical trial adaptation refers to any adjustment of the trial protocol after the onset of the trial. Such adjustment may take on various forms, including the change in the dose of administered medicines, the frequency of administering an intervention, the number of trial participants, or the duration of the trial, to name just some possibilities. The main goal is to make the process of introd...

This paper is concerned with a technique for solving Fredholm integro-dierentialequations in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In contrast with the conventionalreproducing kernel method, the Gram-Schmidt process is omitted hereand satisfactory results are obtained. The analytical solution is represented inthe form of series. An iterative method is given to obtain the approximate solution.Th...

In this paper, the differential transformation method (DTM) was applied to solve fuzzy fractional heat equations. The elementary properties of this method were given. The approximate and exact solutions of these equations were calculated in the form of series with easily computable terms. The proposed method was also illustrated by some examples. The results revealed that DTM is a highly effect...

‎This paper presents the numerical solution for a class of fractional differential equations. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo cite{1} sense. We developed a reproducing kernel method (RKM) to solve fractional differential equations in reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This method cannot be used directly to solve these equations, so an equivalent transformation is made by u...
