We consider a multi-agent consensus problem in the presence of adversarial agents. The adversaries are able to listen inter-agent communications and try estimate state agents have limited bit-rate for communication required quantize transmitted signal order meet constraint channel. propose protocol that is protected against adversaries, i.e., expected mean-square error adversary lower bounded. ...

Residual stresses are created usually undesirably during manufacturing processes, including casting, welding, metal forming, etc. Residual stresses alone or in combination with other factors can cause the destruction and fracture of components or significant decline in their service life. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the residual stresses. Contour method is a destructive testing method c...

This study introduces a new fast motion estimation (ME) based on both an adaptive search range adjustment and a matching point decimation. In particular, the authors present a maximum matching error constraint in the matching phase that can eliminate an impossible candidate block much earlier than a conventional partial distortion elimination (PDE) scheme. The constraint is computed during the ...

The two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network consisting of 2M sources with only a single antenna per source and one relay with multiple N antennas at the 2M destinations is investigated in this paper. All sources act as both sources and destinations with a self-interference cancelation process at the 2M destinations. The closed form of the relay amplifying matrix is optimized under the...

We present an efficient model order reduction method [1] for parametrized elliptic variational inequalities of the first kind: find u ∈ K such that: a(u, v − u;μ) ≥ f(v − u;μ), ∀v ∈ K(μ) where K(μ) := {v ∈ H1(Ω)|Bv ≤ g(μ)}. Motivated by numerous engineering applications that involve contact between elastic body and rigid obstacle, e.g. the obstacle problem [2], we develop a primaldual reduced b...
