Multichannel Dereverberation Theorems and Robustness Issues

2012-02-01
Multichannel dereverberation amounts to the inversion of a multiple-input/multiple-output linear time-invariant system. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for perfect dereverberation using stable and finite impulse response (FIR) filters are established. It is then shown that the inverse system given by the pseudoinverse of the original transfer function matrix exhibits a noise reduction property. A necessary and sufficient condition under which this pseudoinverse system is FIR is also given. Further, an FIR approximation to the pseudoinverse system is considered and the effects of the length of this approximation on the dereverberation accuracy are investigated. Finally, an analytical and numerical assessment of the dependence of the dereverberation accuracy on the accuracy of the acquisition of room impulse responses is provided.

Multi-symplectic integration of coupled non-linear Schrodinger system with soliton solutions
AYDIN, AYHAN; Karasözen, Bülent (2009-01-01)
Systems of coupled non-linear Schrodinger equations with soliton solutions are integrated using the six-point scheme which is equivalent to the multi-symplectic Preissman scheme. The numerical dispersion relations are studied for the linearized equation. Numerical results for elastic and inelastic soliton collisions are presented. Numerical experiments confirm the excellent conservation of energy, momentum and norm in long-term computations and their relations to the qualitative behaviour of the soliton sol...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations
Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
Exact Solutions of Effective Mass Dirac Equation with Non-PT-Symmetric and Non-Hermitian Exponential-type Potentials
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (2009-09-01)
By using a two-component approach to the one-dimensional effective mass Dirac equation, bound states are investigated under the effect of two new non-PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian exponential type potentials. It is observed that the Dirac equation can be mapped into a Schrodinger-like equation by rescaling one of the two Dirac wave functions in the case of the position-dependent mass. The energy levels and the corresponding Dirac eigenfunctions are found analytically.
Adaptive Harmonic Balance Methods, A Comparison
Sert, Onur; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2016-01-28)
Harmonic balance method (HBM) is one of the most popular and powerful methods, which is used to obtain response of nonlinear vibratory systems in frequency domain. The main idea of the method is to express the response of the system in Fourier series and converting the nonlinear differential equations of motion into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. System response can be obtained by solving this nonlinear equation set in terms of the unknown Fourier coefficients. The accuracy of the solution is great...
ON PARAMETRIC LOWER BOUNDS FOR DISCRETE-TIME FILTERING
Fritsche, Carsten; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2016-03-25)
Parametric Cramer-Rao lower bounds (CRLBs) are given for discrete-time systems with non-zero process noise. Recursive expressions for the conditional bias and mean-square-error (MSE) (given a specific state sequence) are obtained for Kalman filter estimating the states of a linear Gaussian system. It is discussed that Kalman filter is conditionally biased with a non-zero process noise realization in the given state sequence. Recursive parametric CRLBs are obtained for biased estimators for linear state esti...
