The least-mean fourth (LMF) algorithm is well known for its fast convergence and low steady-state error especially in non-Gaussian noise environments. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the least mean square (LMS) algorithms with variable step size. It is because the variable step-size LMS algorithms have shown to outperform the conventional fixed step-size LMS in the various situations. In this paper, a variable step-size LMF algorithm is proposed, which adopts an algebraic optimal step size as a variable step size. It is expected that the proposed algorithm also outperforms the conventional fixed step-size LMF. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by the simulations in the time invariant and time variant channels.

Stability and accuracy for the trapezoidal rule of the Newmark time integration method are analyzed when variable time step sizes are adopted. A new analytic approach to stability and accuracy analysis is also proposed for time integration methods with variable time step sizes. The trapezoidal rule with variable time step sizes has the "actual" unconditional stability which is the same as that of the method with constant time step sizes. However, the method with variable time step sizes is first-order accurate while the method with constant time step sizes is second-order accurate. accurate.

We present a new variable step size LMS algorithm using the correlation between reference input and error signal of adaptive filter. The proposed algorithm updates each weight of filter by different step size at same sample time. We applied this algorithm to adaptive multip]e-notch filter. Simulation results are presented to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with the usual LMS algorithm and another variable step algorithm.

The power-voltage (P-V) characteristic of a photovoltaic (PV) array is nonlinear and time varying with the change in atmospheric conditions. As a result, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique must be applied in PV systems to maximize the generated energy. The incremental conductance (INC) algorithm, one of the MPPT strategies, is widely used for its high tracking accuracy, good adaptability to rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, and easy implementation. This paper presents a modified asymmetrical variable step size INC MPPT method that is based on the asymmetrical feature of the P-V curve. Compared with conventional fixed or variable step size method, the proposed method can effectively improve tracking accuracy and speed. The theoretical foundation and design principle of the proposed approach are validated by the simulation and experimental results.

The paper presents an algorithm for the compensation of gain and phase imbalances to exist between I-phase and Q-phase signal at direct conversion receiver. We propose a gain and phase imbalances blind equalization compensation algorithm by using variable step-size adaptive loop at direct conversion receiver. The blind equalization schemes have trade-off between convergence speed and jitter effect for the compensation of gain and phase imbalance. We propose the variable step-size adaptive loop method, which varies the loop coefficients according to errors, for recovering these problem. By using variable step-size adaptive loops, we propose to speed up the convergence process and reduce the jitter effect and simulation results show that the algorithm compensates signal loss and speeds up convergence time.

Many industrial processes that are operated by rotating machines and large air-moving fans are excellent examples to which the single channel ANC systems can be applied. In these environments, the active noise control techniques are most popular nowadays. In this paper, a modified LMS algorithm(EAC, Error Amplitude Compared) is proposed. The algorithm is a kind of variable step-size LMS-type algorithm. Computer simulations show that the proposed EAC algorithm achieves a better convergence time than a conventional VS(Variable Step-Size) algorithm, Also, this algorithm has been implemented by using and experimental duct system.

A reduced machining time and increased accuracy for the sculptured surface are very important when producing complicated parts. The step-size and tool-path interval are essential components in high speed and high resolution machining. If they are small, the machining time will increase, whereas if they are large, rough surfaces will be caused. In particular, the machining time, which is key in high speed machining, is affected by the tool-path interval more than the step-size. The conventional method for calculating the tool=path interval is to select a small parametric increment of a small increment based on the curvature of the surface. However, this approach also has limitations. The first is that the tool-path interval can not be calculated precisely. The second is that a separate tool-path interval needs to be calculated in each of the three cases. The third is that the conversion from Cartesian domain to parametric domain or vice versa must be necessary. Accordingly, the current study proposes a new tool-path interval algorithm that do not involve a curvature and that is not necessary for any conversion and a variable step-size algorithm for NURBS.

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.

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) using the variable step size normalized least mean square (VSSNLMS) in real-time automobile environment. As a basic algorithm for ANC, the LMS algorithm has been used for its simplicity. However, the LMS algorithm has problems of both convergence speed and estimation accuracy in real-time environment. In order to solve these problems, the VSSLMS algorithm for ANC is considered in nonstationary environment. By computer simulation using real-time data acquisition system(USB 6009), VSSNLMS algorithm turns out to be more effective than the LMS algorithm in both convergence speed and estimation accuracy.

To make the best use of known characteristics of the alternating-direction-implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method such as unconditional stability and modeling accuracy, an efficient time domain solution with variable time-step size is proposed. Numerical experiment shows that a time-step size for a given mesh size can be increased preserving a desired numerical accuracy over frequencies of interest. The proposed method can be used to analyze electromagnetic problems with reduced computation time.
