On the Relation between the AINV and the FAPINV Algorithms by Davod Khojasteh Salkuyeh, Hadi Roohani

“…The approximate inverse (AINV) and the factored approximate inverse (FAPINV) are two known algorithms in the field of preconditioning of linear systems of equations. Both of these algorithms compute a sparse approximate inverse of matrix 𝐴 in the factored form and are based on computing two sets of vectors which are 𝐴-biconjugate. …”

Optimized method of generating the spread-spectrum sequences based on Logistic-map by LIU Ping, YAN Chuan, HUANG Xian-gao

“…Based on the Logistic-map,an optimized method of generating the spread-spectrum sequences was proposed.An initial value was given and iterated in the Logistic map,then L bit qualification was done to every point,in this way,new spread spectrum sequence would be achieved by shorten.It was compared with conventional chaotic code and Gold code and finally simulated in the DS-CDMA systems.Experiment results show that the iterative times are reduced,the calculating speed is improved,the spread-spectrum sequences can be reshaped with any length and the number of these sequences is larger than Gold sequence in being.The best quantification order is got too.…”
