In this paper, we present a new technique for the optimal local decomposition of convex structuring elements on a hexagonal grid, which are used as templates for morphological image processing. Each basis structuring element in a local decomposition is a local convex structuring element, which can be contained in hexagonal window centered at the origin. Generally, local decomposition of a structuring element results in great savings in the processing time for computing morphological operations. First, we define a convex structuring element on a hexagonal grid and formulate the necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a convex structuring element into the set of basis convex structuring elements. Further, a cost function was defined to represent the amount of computation or execution time required for performing dilations on different computing environments and by different implementation methods. Then the decomposition condition and the cost function are applied to find the optimal local decomposition of convex structuring elements, which guarantees the minimal amount of computation for morphological operation. Simulation shows that optimal local decomposition results in great reduction in the amount of computation for morphological operations. Our technique is general and flexible since different cost functions could be used to achieve optimal local decomposition for different computing environments and implementation methods.

In this paper, we present a new technique for the local decomposition of convex structuring elements for morphological image processing. Local decomposition of a structuring element consists of local structuring elements, in which each structuring element consists of a subset of origin pixel and its eight neighbors. Generally, local decomposition of a structuring element reduces the amount of computation required for morphological operations with the structuring element. A unique feature of our approach is the use of linear integer programming technique to determine optimal local decomposition that guarantees the minimal amount of computation. We defined a digital convex polygon, which, in turn, is defined as a convex structuring element, and formulated the necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a digital convex polygon into a set of basis digital convex polygons. We used a set of linear equations to represent the relationships between the edges and the positions of the original convex polygon, and those of the basis convex polygons. Further. a cost function was used represent the total processing time required for computation of dilation/erosion with the structuring elements in a decomposition. Then integer linear programming was used to seek an optimal local decomposition, that satisfies the linear equations and simultaneously minimize the cost function.

The decomposition of a structuring element for a morphological operation reduces the amount of the computation required for executing the operation. In this paper, we present a new technique for the decomposition of convex structuring elements for morphological operations. We formulated the linear constraints for the decomposition of a convex polygon in discrete space, then the constraints are applied to the decomposition of a convex structuring element. Also, a cost function is introduced to represent the optimal criteria for decomposition. We use linear integer programming technique to find the combination of basis structuring elements which minimizes the amount of the computation required for executing the morphological operation. Formulating different cost functions for different implementation methods and computer architectures, we can determine the optimal decompositions which guarantee the minimal amounts of computation on different computing environment.

An approximate alternating linearization decomposition method, for minimizing the sum of two convex functions with some separable structures, is presented in this paper. It can be viewed as an extension of the method with exact solutions proposed by Kiwiel, Rosa and Ruszczynski(1999). In this paper we use inexact optimal solutions instead of the exact ones that are not easily computed to construct the linear models and get the inexact solutions of both subproblems, and also we prove that the inexact optimal solution tends to proximal point, i.e., the inexact optimal solution tends to optimal solution.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for the reactive planning of transmission network under normal operating conditions. The optimal operation of a power system is a prerequisite to obtain the optimal investment planning. The operation problem is decomposed into a P-optimization module and a Q-optimization module, but both modules use the same objective function of generation cost. In the investment problem, a new variable decomposition technique is adopted which can operate the operation and the investment variables. The optimization problem is solved by using the gradient projection method (GPM).

The time-varying mean (TVM) component of non-stationary wind speeds is commonly extracted utilizing empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in practice, whereas the accuracy of the extracted TVM is difficult to be quantified. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes an approach to identify and extract the optimal TVM from several TVM results obtained by the EMD. It is suggested that the optimal TVM of a 10-min time history of wind speeds should meet both the following conditions: (1) the probability density function (PDF) of fluctuating wind component agrees well with the modified Gaussian function (MGF). At this stage, a coefficient p is newly defined as an evaluation index to quantify the correlation between PDF and MGF. The smaller the p is, the better the derived TVM is; (2) the number of local maxima of obtained optimal TVM within a 10-min time interval is less than 6. The proposed approach is validated by a numerical example, and it is also adopted to extract the optimal TVM from the field measurement records of wind speeds collected during a sandstorm event.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 전송방식의 장점은 높은 주파수 효율, RF간섭에 대한 강인성, 낮은 다중 경로 왜곡 등을 들 수 있다. 다중 사용자 OFDM의 채널용량을 확대하기 위해서는 사용자간의 부채널과 비트 할당의 효율적인 알고리즘을 개발하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다중 사용자의 전송요구량을 만족하는 최적 부채널 및 비트 할당 문제를 0-1 정수계획법 모형으로 형성하고, 원래 문제의 선형계획법 완화 (linear programming relaxation)문제를 dual-decomposition과 subgradient 알고리즘을 사용하여 해를 구하는 효과적인 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한 dual-decomposition으로 구한 목적함수값은 원래 문제의 선형계획법 완화문제의 최적목적함수 간과 동일함을 증명하였다 모의실험을 통하여 다수의 문제에 대하여 원래 문제의 최적 목적항수값에 대한 dual-decomposition으로 구한 하한의 성능을 제시하였다.

SThis paper proposes a new dispatch scheduling algorithm in interconnected regional system operations. The dispatch scheduling formulated as mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem can efficiently be computed by generalized Benders decomposition (GBD) algorithm. GBD guarantees adequate computation speed and solution convergency since it decomposes a primal problem into a master problem and subproblems for simplicity. In addition, the inter-temporal optimal power flow (OPF) subproblem of the dispatch scheduling problem is comprised of various variables and constraints considering time-continuity and it makes the inter-temporal OPF complex due to increased dimensions of the optimization problem. In this paper, regional decomposition technique based on auxiliary problem principle (APP) algorithm is introduced to obtain efficient inter-temporal OPF solution through the parallel implementation. In addition, it can find the most economic dispatch schedule incorporating power transaction without private information open. Therefore, it can be expanded as an efficient dispatch scheduling model for interconnected system operation.

This paper presents a mathematical decomposition coordination method to implementing the distributed optimal power flow (OPF), wherein a regional decomposition technique is adopted to parallelize the OPT. The proposed approach is based on the Alternating Direction Method (ADM), a variant of the conventional Augmented Lagrangian approach, and makes it possible the independent regional AC-OPF for each control area while the global optimum for the entire system is assured. This paper is an extension of our previous work based on the auxiliary problem principle (APP). The proposed approach in this paper is a completely new one, however, in that ADM is based on the Proximal Point Algorithm which has long been recognized as one of the attractive methods for convex programming and min-max-convex-concave programming. The proposed method was demonstrated with IEEE 50-Bus system.

We consider the iterative schemes for the large sparse linear system to solve partial differential equations. Using spectral radius of iteration matrices, the optimal relaxation parameters and good parameters can be obtained. With those parameters we compare the effectiveness of the SOR and SSOR algorithms. Applying Crank-Nicolson approximation, we observe the error distribution according to domain decomposition. The number of processors due to domain decomposition affects time and error. Numerical experiments show that effectiveness of SOR and SSOR can be reversed as time size varies, which is not the usual case. Finally, these phenomena suggest conjectures about equilibrium time grid for SOR and SSOR.
