The (im)possibility of communication by Bert Olivier

“… This paper addresses the question of communication from a perspective opened up by Derrida’s reading of Joyce’s Ulysses in terms of the relationship between the notion of the ‘yes’ or iterability, the signature of (and counter-signature to) a text and two types of laughter. …”

基于响应面法的剪力板阻尼器设计优化 by 马俊峰, 唐立平, 迟圣威, 张韬, 钱王欢

“…To improve stability and deformability of shear panel dampers（ SPD） in the large plastic strain range,issues the optimization of an SPD which was attempted to use the response surface method and verified by tests.SPD with different widths and thicknesses were primarily analyzed by the finite element method（ FEM）,and the strain concentration factor was selected as the optimization target.Optimal parameters were obtained for the SPD when the iterative calculation is converged.According to the experimental results,the optimized damper based on the response surface method exhibits simultaneously a good stability and perfect deformability.This paper provides an effective method for the optimal design of the structure in the large plastic deformation range.…”

The value of hands-on experiments in an upper-division classical mechanics course by Tarr Steven W., Brunner Joseph S., Alicea-Muñoz Emily, Goldman Daniel I.

“…We share our experience incorporating open-ended experimentation into an upper-division classical mechanics course through project-based learning, including one student’s investigation of a common textbook problem and its unexpected connections to astrophysics. By iterating a computational model and an experimental apparatus, the student participated in inquiry in a way that would not have been possible in a typical classical mechanics course. …”

Rough Paths above Weierstrass Functions by Cellarosi, Francesco, Selk, Zachary

“…The fundamental observation of rough paths theory is that if one can define “iterated integrals” above a signal, then one can construct solutions to differential equations driven by the signal.The typical examples of the signals of interest are stochastic processes such as (fractional) Brownian motion. …”

Denoising and reconstruction of evaporation duct based on quadratic optimal threshold approximation message passing method by Guosheng RUI, Ge LIU, Wenbiao TIAN, Daoguang DONG, Yanan ZHANG

“…To solve the problem that the mixed noise of compressed sensing observation stage had adverse effects on the high-precision reconstruction in the time-space situation awareness process of evaporative duct,an approximate message passing method based on quadratic optimal threshold was proposed.A quadratic stabilization threshold function which integrated advantages of soft and hard threshold functions was designed,and the optimal threshold setting policy was added to the iterative process based on conjugate gradient method to speed up convergence.Theoretical analysis and experiments show that,compared with several mainstream algorithms,the proposed algorithm has the faster convergence rate and lower denoising reconstruction error.…”

Robust beamforming for multicell downlink TDD massive MIMO system based on QoS by Jie CAO, Yong LIAO, Xuan-fan SHEN

“…In view of multicell downlink time division multiplexing (TDD) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems which had imperfect channel state information (CSI),the beamforming problem that minimized the total transmit power and signal leakage power based on quality of service (QoS) was studied.First,the objective problem was approximated as a standard convex optimization problem.Then,by using the duality of uplink and downlink,an inner and outer layer iterative algorithm was proposed.Numerical results show that,comparing with other typical downlink multicell massive MIMO beamforming algorithms,the proposed algorithm has obvious advantages in terms of complexity and energy efficiency.…”

Energy efficiency joint optimization algorithm for low-precision ADC massive MIMO systems by Haiyan CAO, Wenjuan HU, Yingjuan ZHI, Fangmin XU, Xin FANG

“…An uplink energy efficiency optimization algorithm based on alternating optimization algorithm was proposed for large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with low-precision analog to digital converters (ADC).That is,based on the maximum ratio combining (MRC) reception,an optimization model aiming at maximizing energy efficiency was established,and then the original fractional form optimization problem was converted into an equivalent subtractive form according to the nature of the fractional programming.In the case where the number of quantization bits was constant,the iterative optimization of the transmission power and the pilot length were performed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better spectral efficiency and energy efficiency.…”

Our strategy is to approximate the nonsmooth function in functional equation by a sequence of convex piecewise linear functions, as in the bundle method; this makes the problem more tractable and reduces the difficulty of implementation of method. …”
