음성인식 시스템이 있어서 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Hidden Markov Model(HMM)은 확률 모델을 기반한 것으로 데이터에 대한 통계처리를 학습과정으로 하고 있다. 한국어 연속 숫자음에 대한 음성인식은 고립 숫자음 인식과는 달리 충분한 학습데이터만으로는 만족할 만한 결과를 가져오지 못한다. 이 논문에서는 연속 숫자음 음성인식에 잇어서 비슷하게 발음되는 숫자음과 같은 숫자에 대해 다양하게 발음되는 숫자음에 대해 HMM의 한계를 제시하고 그 해결채으로 Discriminant 학습의 적용방법을 제시한다. 연속 숫자음의 인식 시스템을 구현하는 데 있어서 인식률 낮은 부분에 Discriminant 학습을 적용하여 인식률을 대폭 향상시킨 실험결과를 제시한다.

The evaluation of a few of the smallest eigenpairs of large symmetric eigenvalue problem is of great interest in many physical and engineering applications. A deflation-preconditioned conjugate gradient(PCG) scheme for a such problem has been shown to be very efficient. In the present paper we provide the numerical stability of a deflation-PCG with partial shifts.

We consider the finite element method applied to nonlinear Sobolev equation with smooth data and demonstrate for arbitrary order ($k{\geq}2$) finite element spaces the optimal rate of convergence in $L_{\infty}\;W^{1,{\infty}}({\Omega})$ and $L_{\infty}(L_{\infty}({\Omega}))$ (quasi-optimal for k = 1). In other words, the nonlinear Sobolev equation can be approximated equally well as its linear counterpart. Furthermore, we also obtain superconvergence results in $L_{\infty}(W^{1,{\infty}}({\Omega}))$ for the difference between the approximate solution and the generalized elliptic projection of the exact solution.

This paper shows how boundary element method can be used to calculate torsion geometrical stiffness of cross-sections of various beams and airfoil profiles. Using the BEM direct formulation, the technique for determining bending and torsional geometrical characteristics of arbitrary multiply connected cross-sections is presented. The application limits of several well-known formulae on some test problems have been demonstrated and discused.

We introduce sums and joins of fuzzy finite state machines and investigate their algebraic structures.

In this study, we shall be concerned with computing in parallel a few of the smallest eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors of the eigenvalue problem, $Ax={\lambda}Bx$, where A is symmetric, and B is symmetric positive definite. Both A and B are large and sparse. Recently iterative algorithms based on the optimization of the Rayleigh quotient have been developed, and CG scheme for the optimization of the Rayleigh quotient has been proven a very attractive and promising technique for large sparse eigenproblems for small extreme eigenvalues. As in the case of a system of linear equations, successful application of the CG scheme to eigenproblems depends also upon the preconditioning techniques. A proper choice of the preconditioner significantly improves the convergence of the CG scheme. The idea underlying the present work is a parallel computation of the Multi-Color Block SSOR preconditioning for the CG optimization of the Rayleigh quotient together with deflation techniques. Multi-Coloring is a simple technique to obatin the parallelism of order n, where n is the dimension of the matrix. Block SSOR is a symmetric preconditioner which is expected to minimize the interprocessor communication due to the blocking. We implemented the results on the CRAY-T3E with 128 nodes. The MPI(Message Passing Interface) library was adopted for the interprocessor communications. The test problems were drawn from the discretizations of partial differential equations by finite difference methods.

The model and analytical method for solving the problem of coupled fluid flow in the reservoir/well system is presented. The 3-D drainage area is composed of three connected media: the tubing, the annuli as a super conducting collector, and the reservoir itself. To couple these three types of fluid flows a non-overlapping Dirichlet-Neumann domain decomposition method is developed. The method allows us to apply an analytical hybrid simulator for accurate evaluation of the impact of main geometrical and hydrodynamic parameters of the 3-D system on the pressure drop along the horizontal well and its production index.

Recent theoretical analysis of numerical methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations is represented by alpha theory of Newton method developed Smale et al. The theory was extended to Secant method by providing convergence conditions by Yakoubsohn which the Secant method is treated as an operator defined for analytical functions. We use Secant methods as an iterative scheme with approximations, which results in new convergence conditions. We compare the two conditions and show that the new conditions represent the features of Secant method in a more precise way.

A generalization of Ostrowski integral inequality for mappings whose derivatives are bounded and applications for general quadrature formulae are given.

Nonconvex Quadratic Optimization Problems (QOP) are solved approximately by SDP (semidefinite programming) relaxation and SOCP (second order cone programmming) relaxation. Nonconvex QOPs with special structures can be solved exactly by SDP and SOCP. We propose a method to formulate general nonconvex QOPs into the special form of the QOP, which can provide a way to find more accurate solutions. Numerical results are shown to illustrate advantages of the proposed method.

Sufficient conditions for boundary controllability of semilinear systems in Banach spaces are established. The results are obtained by using the analytic semigroup theory and the Banach contraction principle. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.
