In this paper, a class of real-valued orthonormal symmetric wavelet "lters is constructed by using allpass "lters, and a new method for designing the allpass-based wavelet "lters with the given degrees of #atness is proposed. The proposed method is based on the formulation of a generalized eigenvalue problem by using the Remez exchange algorithm and considering the #atness condition. Therefore,...

Homodimers are the most common type of protein assembly in nature and have distinct features compared with heterodimers and higher order oligomers. Understanding homodimer interactions at the atomic level is critical both for elucidating their biological mechanisms of action and for accurate modeling of complexes of unknown structure. Computation-based design of novel protein-protein interfaces...

In this paper a numerically efficient method for designing a nearly optimal variable fractional delay (VFD) filter based on a simple and well-known window method is presented. In the proposed method a single window extracted from the optimal filter with fixed fractional delay (FD) is divided into even and odd part. Subsequently, the odd part is discarded and symmetric even part of the extracted...

In this paper we proposed an efficient structure for sampling rate conversion by rational factor of L/M, where L is upsampling factor and M is downsampling factor. In this method, the coefficient symmetry of the linear phase filter is used. In this way, the number of required multiplications per output sample is reduced. For implementation we use linear phase FIR filter. The symmetric FIR filte...

A design is a finite set of points in a space on which every ”simple” functions averages to its global mean. Illustrative examples of simple functions are low-degree polynomials on the Euclidean sphere or on the Hamming cube. We prove lower bounds on designs in spaces with a large group of symmetries. These spaces include globally symmetric Riemannian spaces (of any rank) and commutative associ...

Let X be a pseudocyclic association scheme in which all the nontrivial relations are strongly regular graphs with the same eigenvalues. We prove that the principal part of the first eigenmatrix of X is a linear combination of an incidence matrix of a symmetric design and the all-ones matrix. Amorphous pseudocyclic association schemes are examples of such association schemes whose associated sym...

The ultimate goal of designing a symmetric-key cryptographic primitive often can be formulated as an optimization problem. So far, these problems mainly have been solved with trivial algorithms such as brute force or random search. We show that a more advanced and equally versatile class of search algorithms, called metaheuristics, can help to tackle optimization problems related to design of s...

This paper presents the design of a multilevel pyramidically wound symmetric (MPS) inductor structure. Being multilevel, the MPS inductor achieves high inductance to area ratio and hence occupies smaller silicon area. The symmetric inductor is realized by winding the metal trace of the spiral coil down and up in a pyramidal manner exploiting the multilevel VLSI interconnects technology. Closed ...

Capacity bounds for a three-node binary symmetric relay channel with orthogonal components at the destination are studied. The cut-set upper bound and the rates achievable using decode-and-forward (DF), partial DF and compress-and-forward (CF) relaying are first evaluated. Then relaying strategies with finite memory-length are considered. An efficient algorithm for optimizing the relay function...

We look at the design of a class of oversampled filter banks and the resulting framelets. The oversampled property is achieved via an extra subband resulting in Double Density Filter Banks (DDFB’s). We design a class of such filters with linear phase property. We will look at a special class of framelets from a filter bank perspective, in that we will design double density filter banks (DDFB’s)...
