This paper presents a novel multi-Gb/s multi-mode LDPC decoder architecture and efficient design techniques for gigabit wireless communications. An efficient dynamic and fixed column-shifting scheme is presented for multi-mode architectures. A novel low-complexity local switch is proposed to implement the dynamic and fixed column-shifting scheme. Furthermore, an efficient quantization method an...

The sequential and indeterminate behavior of an end-around-carry (EAC) adder is examined. This behavior is commonly overlooked in the literature. Design modifications to impose determinism are provided. These modifications also eliminate the troublesome negative zero found in the one's complement number system.

Two kinds of configuration schemes about eight and ten single-axis vector magnetometers are put forward on the basis of describing the principle of underwater magnetic field localization. The measurement equations of magnetic field magnitude and gradients are educed on condition of two configuration schemes, and that the calculated precisions of both magnetic field magnitude and gradients are c...

The paper introduces an approach for crosstalk-free bitpermute-complement (BPC) permutations routing in hybrid optical variable-stage shuffle-exchange networks (SENs) of size where N=2, and the number of stages can vary in . The number of stages should be asserted as required by a given BPC permutation for its admissibility. The crosstalk is caused by interacting of two optical signals within t...

We present Neumann-Neumann domain decomposition preconditioners for the solution of elliptic linear quadratic optimal control problems. The preconditioner is applied to the optimality system. A Schur complement formulation is derived that reformulates the original optimality system as a system in the state and adjoint variables restricted to the subdomain boundaries. The application of the Schu...

In the transport layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite, both TCP and UDP use internet checksum to protect headers and data. Internet checksum uses 1’s complement arithmetic to detect errors in the content delivered by the data-link layer. Both research and experience have shown that there are a wide variety of error sources which can not be detected by this lower layer. The error detecting perform...

We deal with the problem of preserving various versions of completeness in (< κ)–support iterations of forcing notions, generalizing the case “S–complete proper is preserved by CS iterations for a stationary costationary S ⊆ ω1”. We give applications to Uniformization and the Whitehead problem. In particular, for a strongly inaccessible cardinal κ and a stationary set S ⊆ κ with fat complement ...

The problem of nding the minimum topology of multipro-cessing substrates supporting parallel execution of any given neighbourhood constrained system is proposed and possible optimal strategies are investigated based on the relationship between Barbosa's scheduling by edge reversal-SER-distributed algorithm and the minimum clique covering problem. It is shown that from any given clique covering ...

The second author’s ω, ∆, χ conjecture proposes that every graph satisties χ ≤ d 1 2 (∆ + 1 + ω)e. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw-free graphs. Our approach uses the structure theorem of Chudnovsky and Seymour. Along the way we discuss a stronger local conjecture, and prove that it holds for claw-free graphs with a three-colourable complement. To prove our results ...
