We investigate a sub-optimal iterative receiver for joint equalization and decoding called Turbo-equalizer. We view the evolution of the error variance of the transmitted symbols through the iterative processing, obtaining convergence analysis. This allows us to predict the asymptotic performance (when the Turbo-equalizer has converged) but also the trigger point observed in its performance.

Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.Here, after criticizi...

in this paper‎, ‎we study convergence behavior of the global fom (gl-fom) and global gmres (gl-gmres) methods for solving the matrix equation $axb=c$ where $a$ and $b$ are symmetric positive definite (spd)‎. ‎we present some new theoretical results of these methods such as computable exact expressions and upper bounds for the norm of the error and residual‎. ‎in particular‎, ‎the obtained upper...

in this work the collocation method based on quartic b-spline is developed and applied to two-point boundary value problem in ordinary diferential equations. the error analysis and convergence of presented method is discussed. the method illustrated by two test examples which verify that the presented method is applicable and considerable accurate.

The convergence rate is analyzed for McCormick relaxations of compositions of the form F ̋ f , where F is a multivariate function, as established by Tsoukalas and Mitsos (JOGO, 59:633-662, 2014). Convergence order in the Hausdorff metric and pointwise convergence order are analyzed. Similar to the convergence order propagation of McCormick univariate composition functions, Bompadre and Mitsos (...

In this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. Periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. A general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is one of the newest swarm based optimization algorithms, which has been inspired by the Newtonian laws of gravity and motion. GSA has empirically shown to be an efficient and robust stochastic search algorithm. Since introducing GSA a convergence analysis of this algorithm has not yet been developed. This paper introduces the first attempt to a formal conve...
