Covariance matrix representation problem arised especially from the necessity of the knowledge of covariance matrix information in track fusion algorithms. "Representation" means representing the covariance matrix with its exact or approximate parameters. In this study, representation methods for covariances matrices are proposed and approximate representations is analyzed by Kullback-Leibler distance. We assume that state vector is Gausssan distributed and the means are the same for both the representation and the actual states. Performance of the representations is measured by generating synthetic tracks and quantizing the representation covariances.

Computation of the Primary Decomposition of Polynomial Ideals Using Gröbner Bases
Tolgay, Betül; Karayayla, Tolga; Department of Mathematics (2021-8-06)
In this thesis, we investigate algorithms for computing primary decompositions of ideals in polynomial rings. Every ideal in a polynomial ring over a Noetherian commutative ring with identity has a primary decomposition, that is, it can be expressed as the intersection of primary ideals (in a unique way or not). The existence of primary decompositions in such polynomial rings is a result of the ascending chain condition and the existence proof does not suggest any construction method for the primary compone...
Stability analysis of constraints in flexible multibody systems dynamics
İder, Sıtkı Kemal (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
Automated algorithms for the dynamic analysis and simulation of constrained multibody systems assume that the constraint equations are linearly independent. During the motion, when the system is at a singular configuration, the constraint Jacobian matrix possesses less than full rank and hence it results in singularities. This occurs when the direction of a constraint coincides with the direction of the lost degree of freedom. In this paper the constraint equations for deformable bodies are modified for use...
Efficient and Accurate Electromagnetic Optimizations Based on Approximate Forms of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Onol, Can; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2016-01-01)
We present electromagnetic optimizations by heuristic algorithms supported by approximate forms of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Optimizations of complex structures, such as antennas, are performed by considering each trial as an electromagnetic problem that can be analyzed via MLFMA and its approximate forms. A dynamic accuracy control is utilized in order to increase the efficiency of optimizations. Specifically, in the proposed scheme, the accuracy is used as a parameter of the optimiz...
Extraneous roots and kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms and robots
Soylu, Reşit (1997-10-01)
A systematic algorithm, for the complete position analysis of ''any'' single loop spatial mechanism, is introduced. The method yields four non-linear equations, with the least possible total degree. These equations are transformed into algebraic ones, which may be solved, analytically, based upon the concept of resultants. The solutions are free from extraneous roots, since such roots are identified and extracted by the proposed techniques. An algorithm, for the efficient position analysis of mechanisms wit...
Analysis of a projection-based variational multiscale method for a linearly extrapolated BDF2 time discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations
Vargün, Duygu; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Department of Mathematics (2018)
This thesis studies a projection-based variational multiscale (VMS) method based on a linearly extrapolated second order backward difference formula (BDF2) to simulate the incompressible time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). The method concerns adding stabilization based on projection acting only on the small scales. To give a basic notion of the projection-based VMS method, a three-scale VMS method is explained. Also, the principles of the projection-based VMS stabilization are provided. By using t...
