Approximate Analytical Solutions for the Weight Optimization Problems of CI and ICI

2017-10-12
Approximate analytical formulae are proposed for the solutions of the weight optimization problems involved in Covariance Intersection (CI) and Inverse Covariance Intersection (ICI). The methodology used for obtaining the analytic approximations boils down to using just two Newton iterations with the initial weight value 1/2. The simulation results show that quite acceptable root-mean-square (RMS) error levels are achievable with the proposed approximate analytical weights with less computations compared to what would be required when numerical optimization with a high termination tolerance is used, which can be critical for applications with very limited computational resources.

Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-04-01)
Exact bound state solutions and corresponding normalized eigenfunctions of the radial Schrodinger equation are studied for the pseudoharmonic and Mie-type potentials by using the Laplace transform approach. The analytical results are obtained and seen that they are the same with the ones obtained before. The energy eigenvalues of the inverse square plus square potential and three-dimensional harmonic oscillator are given as special cases. It is shown the variation of the first six normalized wave-functions ...

Continuous optimization approaches for clustering via minimum sum of squares
Akteke-Ozturk, Basak; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Kropat, Erik (2008-05-23)
In this paper, we survey the usage of semidefinite programming (SDP), and nonsmooth optimization approaches for solving the minimum sum of squares problem which is of fundamental importance in clustering. We point out that the main clustering idea of support vector clustering (SVC) method could be interpreted as a minimum sum of squares problem and explain the derivation of semidefinite programming and a nonsmooth optimization formulation for the minimum sum of squares problem. We compare the numerical resu...

Evaluation of Hypersingular Integrals on Non-planar Surfaces
Selcuk, Gokhun; Koç, Seyit Sencer (2014-05-16)
Solving electric field integral equation (EFIE) with Nystrom method requires accurate evaluation of hypersingular surface integrals since this method does not use divergence conforming basis and testing functions. The success of the method also depends on accurate representation of non-planar characteristics of the scattering object. In this study Hadamard finite part interpretation is used to evaluate hypersingular integrals over non-planar surfaces, which are represented by their Taylor series expansions....
