In this paper, an adaptive nulling algorithm which can be used to form nulls in the direction of jammer or interference signals in array antennas of single port system is proposed. The proposed adaptive algorithm does not require a priori knowledge of the incoming signal direction and can be applied to the partially adaptive arrays. This algorithm is the combination of the PSO(Particle Swam Optimization) algorithm and the gradient-based perturbation adaptive algorithm, which shows stable nulling performance adaptively even on the moving jammer environment where the incident direction of the interference signal is changing with time.

The Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm is the most widely used fitting algorithm. It outperforms simple gradient descent and other conjugate gradient methods in a wide variety of problems. Based on the work of paper[1], we propose a modified Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for better performance of mobile system. The LM parameter at the $k_{th}$ iteration is chosen ${\mu}=A{\bullet}{\parallel}f(x){\parallel}{\bullet}I$ where f is the residual function, and J is the Jacobi of f. In this paper, we show this method is more efficient than traditional method under the situation that the system iteration is limited.

RLS (Recursive-least-squares) algorithm is known to have good convergence and excellent error level after convergence. However, there is a disadvantage that numerical instability is included in the algorithm due to inverse matrix calculation. In this paper, we propose an algorithm with no matrix inversion to avoid the instability aforementioned. The proposed algorithm still keeps the same convergence performance. In the proposed algorithm, we adopt an averaged gradient-based step size as a self-adjusted step size. In addition, a variable forgetting factor is introduced to provide superior performance for time-varying channel estimation. Through simulations, we compare performance with conventional RLS and show its equivalency. It also shows the merit of the variable forgetting factor in time-varying channels.

A smart tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely studied for seismic response reduction of various structures. Control algorithm is the most important factor for control performance of a smart TMD. This study used a Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) among reinforcement learning techniques to develop a control algorithm for a smart TMD. A magnetorheological (MR) damper was used to make the smart TMD. A single mass model with the smart TMD was employed to make a reinforcement learning environment. Time history analysis simulations of the example structure subject to artificial seismic load were performed in the reinforcement learning process. Critic of policy network and actor of value network for DDPG agent were constructed. The action of DDPG agent was selected as the command voltage sent to the MR damper. Reward for the DDPG action was calculated by using displacement and velocity responses of the main mass. Groundhook control algorithm was used as a comparative control algorithm. After 10,000 episode training of the DDPG agent model with proper hyper-parameters, the semi-active control algorithm for control of seismic responses of the example structure with the smart TMD was developed. The simulation results presented that the developed DDPG model can provide effective control algorithms for smart TMD for reduction of seismic responses.

Boosting, one of the most successful algorithms for supervised learning, searches the most accurate weighted sum of weak classifiers. The search corresponds to a convex programming with non-negativity and affine constraint. In this article, we propose a novel Conjugate Gradient algorithm with the Modified Polak-Ribiera-Polyak conjugate direction. The convergence of the algorithm is proved and we report its successful applications to boosting.

In this paper, a predictor switching algorithm for lossless compression is proposed. It uses adaptively one of two predictors using errors obtained by MED(median edge detector) and GAP(gradient adaptive prediction). The reduced error is measured by existing entropy method. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can compress higher than existing predictive methods.

For blind source separation of convolutive mixtures, FDICA(Frequency Domain Independent Component Analysis) algorithms are generally used. Since FDICA algorithm such as Sawada FDICA, IVA(Independent Vector Analysis) works on the frequency bin basis with a natural gradient descent method, it takes much time to converge. In this paper, we propose a new method to improve convergence speed in FDICA algorithm. The proposed method reduces the number of iteration drastically in the process of natural gradient descent method by applying a weighted inner product constraint of unmixing matrix. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method achieved large improvement of convergence speed without degrading the separation performance of the baseline algorithms.

Inverse radiation problems are solved for estimating the boundary conditions such as temperature distribution and wall emissivity in axisymmetric absorbing, emitting and scattering medium, given the measured incident radiative heat fluxes. Various regularization methods, such as hybrid genetic algorithm, conjugate-gradient method and finite-difference Newton method, were adopted to solve the inverse problem, while discussing their features in terms of estimation accuracy and computational efficiency. Additionally, we propose a new combined approach that adopts the hybrid genetic algorithm as an initial value selector and uses the finite-difference Newton method as an optimization procedure.

The Conjugate Finite-Step Length" (CFSL) algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency and robustness of first order reliability method (FORM) for reliability analysis of highly nonlinear problems. The conjugate FORM-based CFSL is formulated using the adaptive conjugate search direction based on the finite-step size with simple adjusting condition, gradient vector of performance function and previous iterative results including the conjugate gradient vector and converged point. The efficiency and robustness of the CFSL algorithm are compared through several nonlinear mathematical and structural/mechanical examples with the HL-RF and "Finite-Step-Length" (FSL) algorithms. Numerical results illustrated that the CFSL algorithm performs better than the HL-RF for both robust and efficient results while the CFLS is as robust as the FSL for structural reliability analysis but is more efficient.

We are concerned with mathematical analysis related to the bi-pointwise control for a mixed type of wave equation. In particular, we are interested in the systematic build-up of the bi-pointwise control actuators;one at the boundary and the other at the interior point simultaneously. The main purpose is to examine Hilbert Uniqueness Method for the setting of bi-pointwise control actuators and to establish relevant algorithm based on our analysis. After discussing the weak solution for the state equation, we investigate bi-pointwise control mechanism and relevant mathematical analysis based on HUM. We then proceed to set up an algorithm based on the conjugate gradient method to establish bi-pointwise control actuators to halt the system.
