In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for reducing the complexity of LDPC code decoding by using node monitoring (NM) and Piecewise Linear Function Approximation (NP). This NM algorithm is based on a new node-threshold method, and the message passing algorithm. Piecewise linear function approximation is used to reduce the complexity for more. This algorithm was simulated in order to verify its efficiency. Simulation results show that the complexity of our NM algorithm is reduced to about 20%, compared with thoes of well-known method.

This paper presents function approximation based on nonparametric estimation. As an estimation model of function approximation, a three layered network composed of input, hidden and output layers is considered. The input and output layers have linear activation units while the hidden layer has nonlinear activation units or kernel functions which have the characteristics of bounds and locality. Using this type of network, a many-to-one function is synthesized over the domain of the input space by a number of kernel functions. In this network, we have to estimate the necessary number of kernel functions as well as the parameters associated with kernel functions. For this purpose, a new method of parameter estimation in which linear learning rule is applied between hidden and output layers while nonlinear (piecewise-linear) learning rule is applied between input and hidden layers, is considered. The linear learning rule updates the output weights between hidden and output layers based on the Linear Minimization of Mean Square Error (LMMSE) sense in the space of kernel functions while the nonlinear learning rule updates the parameters of kernel functions based on the gradient of the actual output of network with respect to the parameters (especially, the shape) of kernel functions. This approach of parameter adaptation provides near optimal values of the parameters associated with kernel functions in the sense of minimizing mean square error. As a result, the suggested nonparametric estimation provides an efficient way of function approximation from the view point of the number of kernel functions as well as learning speed.

The topic of this study is the field of humanitarian logistics for disaster response. Many existing studies have revealed that compliance with the golden time in response to a disaster determines the success or failure of relief activities, and logistics costs account for 80% of the disaster response cost. Besides, the agility, responsiveness, and effectiveness of the humanitarian logistics system are emphasized in consideration of the disaster situation's characteristics, such as the urgency of life-saving and rapid environmental changes. In other words, they emphasize the importance of logistics activities in disaster response, which includes the effective and efficient distribution of relief supplies. This study proposes a mathematical model for establishing a transport plan to distribute relief supplies in a disaster situation. To determine vehicles' route and the amount of relief for cities suffering a disaster, it mainly considers the urgency, effectiveness (restoration rate), and uncertainty in the logistics system. The model is initially developed as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model containing some nonlinear functions and transform into a Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model using a logarithmic transformation and piecewise linear approximation method. Furthermore, a minimax problem is suggested to search for breakpoints and slopes to define a piecewise linear function that minimizes the linear approximation error. A numerical experiment is performed to verify the MILP model, and linear approximation error is also analyzed in the experiment.

This paper presents a new economic dispatch algorithm to improve the unit commitment solution while guaranteeing the near optimal solution without reducing calculation speed. The conventional economic dispatch algorithms have the problem that it is not applicable to the unit commitment formulation due to the frequent on/off state changes of units during the unit commitment calculation. Therefore, piecewise linear iterative method have generally been used for economic dispatch algorithm for unit commitment. In that method, the approximation of the generator cost function makes it hard to obtain the optimal economic dispatch solution. In this case, the solution can be improved by introducing a inverse of the incremental cost function. The proposed method is tested with sample system. The results are compared with the conventional piecewise linear iterative method. It is shown that the proposed algorithm yields more accurate and economical solution without calculation speed reduction.

In the case of numerical implementation, the exact solution method for the M/M/s system where customers demand multiple server use [2] reveals limitations, if a system has large number of servers or types of customers. This is due to the huge matrices involved in the course of the calculations. This paper offers an approximation scheme for such cases. Capitalizing the characteristics of the service rate curve of the system, this method approximates the service rate as a piecewise linear function. With the service rates obtained from the linear function for each number of customers n (n=0. 1. 2,$\cdots$), ${\mu}(n)$, steady-state probabilities and measures of performance are found treating this system as an ordinary M/M/s system. This scheme performs well when the traffic intensity of a system is below about 0.8. Some numerical examples are presented.

In this paper we consider an optimal control system described by n-dimensional heat equation with a thermal source. Thus problem is to find an optimal control which puts the system in a finite time T, into a stationary regime and to minimize a general objective function. Here we assume there is no constraints on control. This problem is reduced to a moment problem. We modify the moment problem into one consisting of the minimization of a positive linear functional over a set of Radon measures and we show that there is an optimal measure corresponding to the optimal control. The above optimal measure approximated by a finite combination of atomic measures. This construction gives rise to a finite dimensional linear programming problem, where its solution can be used to determine the optimal combination of atomic measures. Then by using the solution of the above linear programming problem we find a piecewise-constant optimal control function which is an approximate control for the original optimal control problem. Finally we obtain piecewise-constant optimal control for two examples of heat equations with a thermal source in one-dimensional.

표준 매개변수 소속 함수(SPMF)에 기반을 둔 구간 선형 변환 방법(PLTM)을 제안한다. 이는 구간 선형 변환 방법을 사용해서 비 매개변수 소속 함수(NPMF)로 표현된 퍼지 집합이 매개변수 소속 함수(PMF)로 표현된 퍼지 집합으로 변환될 수 있다는 생각에서 유래되었다. 이 경우, 이들 매개변수들은 퍼지 집합의 구조를 결정하기 위한 특징점들 이라고 할 수 있다. 결과적으로 구간 선형 변환 방법은 비 매개변수 소속 함수를 매개변수 소속 함수로 변환해 줌으로써 비 매개변수 소속 함수에 기반을 둔 퍼지 시스템과 비교해 볼 때 퍼지 시스템이 상대적으로 빠르게 처리될 수 있게 한다. 한편, 표준 매개변수 소속 함수들의 전형적인 형태가 소개되고 분석된다. 끝으로, PLTM의 전형적인 응용을 제시하고 수치적인 예를 보여준다.

Wireless communication systems, in particular, must operate in a crowded electro-magnetic environmnet where in-band undesired signals are treated as noise by the receiver. These interfering signals are often random but not Gaussian Due to nongaussian noise, the distribution of the observables cannot be specified by a finite set of parameters; instead r-dimensioal sample space (pure noise samples) is equiprobably partitioned into a finite number of disjointed regions using quantiles and a vector quantizer based on training samples. If we assume that the detected symbols are correct, then we can observe the pure noise samples during the training and transmitting mode. The algorithm proposed is based on a piecewise approximation to a regression function based on quantities and conditional partition moments which are estimated by a RMSA (Robbins-Monro Stochastic Approximation) algorithm. In this paper, we develop a diversity combiner with modified detector, called Non-Linear Detector, and the receiver has a differential phase detector in each diversity branch and at the combiner each detector output is proportional to the second power of the envelope of branches. Monte-Carlo simulations were used as means of generating the system performance.
