Safe 3D Coverage Control for Multi-Agent Systems by Wenbin Liu, Kritapas Borikarnphanichphaisal, Jie Song, Olga Vasilieva, Mikhail Svinin

“…This study proposes a novel approach that adapts centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) with a time-varying density function and Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) for dynamic coverage in 3D environments. By reconfiguring these methodologies, this approach enhances distribution and coordination efficiency within 3D spaces while ensuring safe, collision-free navigation. …”

Piecewise-linear companding transform for peak-to-average power ratio reduction of OFDM signals by YANG Pin-lu, HU Ai-qun

“…In order to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio（PAPR） of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing（OFDM） signals,a piecewise-linear companding transform was proposed.Small amplitudes were multiplied by a scale factor,while large ones were not only multiplied by a scale factor but also added by a shift.The resulting companding transform was piecewise-linear and continuous.It can provide significant PAPR reduction performance with low compu-tational complexity,and has low influence on system performances through piecewise transform.It is shown by theoreti-cal analysis and simulation that,a good trade-off between PAPR reduction and bit-error-rate performances can be achieved by carefully choosing the two scales and the shift.Furthermore,compared with existing linear and nonlinear companding transforms,a better power spectral density performance can be achieved.…”

Reinforcement learning meets technical analysis: combining moving average rules for optimal alpha by Javier H. Ospina-Holguín, Ana M. Padilla-Ospina

“…A common issue faced by investors who use technical analysis is the reconciliation of conflicting trading signals, especially when these signals are highly correlated, such as those generated by multiple moving averages. This study expands on a model-free algorithm inspired by reinforcement learning to address the challenge of reconciling trading signals while taking transaction costs into account. …”

Sparse DOA Estimation Method Based on Riemann Averaging under Strong Intermittent Jamming by Xiaoyu LAN, Jiyan HU, Mingshen LIANG, Shuang MA

“…Aiming to address the problem of increased radar jamming in complex electromagnetic environments and the difficulty of accurately estimating the target signal close to a strong jamming signal, this paper proposes a sparse Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation method based on Riemann averaging under strong intermittent jamming. First, under the extended coprime array data model, the Riemann averaging is introduced to suppress the jamming signal by leveraging the property that the target signal is continuously active while the strong jamming signal is intermittently active. …”
