ABSTRACT We describe efficient interior-point methods for the design of filters with constraints on the magnitude spectrum, for example, piecewise-constant upper and lower bounds, and arbitrary phase. Several researchers have observed that problems of this type can be solved via convex optimization and spectral factorization. The associated optimization problems are usually solved via linear pr...

Interior design is the study of designing and arranging living space in an aesthetically pleasing way. Sometimes interior design may involve furnishing a brand new, empty home; but in most cases, interior design implies adding new components to an already furnished living space, such as adding a new sofa in the living room, or changing the wallpaper of the kitchen. Interior design includes the ...

Winston’s Churchill’s well-known wartime remark succinctly captures the fact that the connection between people and the places in which they dwell is a two-way relationship. It is a point that is surely understood, at least implicitly, by interiors theorists, researchers, and practitioners. But what does the fi eld of psychology have to say about the two halves of this reciprocal bond? Here we ...
