  • Simple correspondence analysis is a technique for giving a joint display of points representing both the rows and columns of an n$\times$p two-way contigency table. In simple correspondence analysis, the singular value decomposition is the main algebraic tool. But, Choi and Huh(1996) pointed out the singular value decomposition is not robust. Instead, they developed a robust singular value decomposition and provided applications in principal component analysis and biplots. In this article, by using the analogous procedures of Choi and Huh(1996), we derive a robust version of simple correspondence analysis.

  • In [8] they introduced a new finite element method for accurate numerical solutions of Poisson equations with corner singularities. They consider the Poisson equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition with one corner singularity at the origin, and compute the finite element solution using standard FEM and use the extraction formula to compute the stress intensity factor, then pose a PDE with a regular solution by imposing the nonhomogeneous boundary condition using the computed stress intensity factor, which converges with optimal speed. From the solution they could get an accurate solution just by adding the singular part. This approach uses the polar coordinate and the cut-off function to control the singularity and the boundary condition. In this paper we consider Poisson equations with multiple singular points, which involves different cut-off functions which might overlaps together and shows the way of cording in FreeFEM++ to control the singular functions and cut-off functions with numerical experiments.

  • The KiK-net by NIED is a vertical array measurement system. In the database of KiK-net, singular pulse waves were observed in the seismic record at the borehole of TTRH02 during the mainshock (the magnitude of Japan Meteorological Agency (MJ) 7.3, MW 6.8) and aftershock (Mj 4.2) of Tottori-ken Seibu earthquake in 2000. Singular pulse waves were also detected in the seismic records at the borehole of IWTH25 during the Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake in 2008 (MJ 7.2, MW 6.9). These pulse waves are investigated by using the wave shape analysis methods, e.g., the non-stationary Fourier spectra and the double integrated displacement profiles. Two types of vibration modes are discriminated as the occurrence mechanism of the singular pulse waves. One corresponds to the reversal points in the displacement profile with the amplitude from 10-4 m to 10-1 m, which is mainly related to the fault activity and the amplification pass including the mechanical amplification (collision) of the seismograph in the casing pipe. The other is the cyclic pulse waves in the interval of reversal points, which is estimated as the backlash of the seismograph itself with the amplitude from 10-5 m to 10-4 m.

  • Teaching an industrial robot is still a dangerous and time-consuming process. It is expected that a robot can track a trajectory that is repeatedly taught by a human operator. Teaching a robot in joint space is easier than that in Cartesian space or a work space because the robot will never lose its stability when it is taught and operated in a joint space. However, it is very easy for a robot to lose its stability when it is taught in a work space. This is because of the singular points problem in kinematics for manipulators. Thus, experts should teach a given task to a robot in a careful manner. A new algorithm that avoids the problem of singular points is proposed. Using this proposed method, a user can freely teach a robot without the chance of instability in an entire work space.

  • A surface flow visualization of a MIRA notchback reference car was conducted using a 1/4 -scale model in the POSTECH wind tunnel. The flow separation and reattachment phenomen a around A-pillar, C-pillar, backlight, and trunk were discussed with the help of the distributions of singular points such as nodes, saddles, and spiral foci. The locations of the singular points on the trunk and the backlight from experimental results are compared with those of CFD results using the turbulence modeling of RNG k -${\varepsilon}$ and RSM.

  • Control and trajectory generation of a 7 DOF anthropomorphic robot arm suffer from computational complexity and singularity problem because of numerical inverse kinematics. To deal with such problems, analytical methods for a redundant robot arm have been researched to enhance the performance of inverse kinematics. In this research, we propose an analytical inverse kinematics algorithm for a 7 DOF anthropomorphic robot arm. Using this algorithm, it is possible to generate a trajectory passing through the singular points and intuitively move the elbow without regard to the end-effector pose. Performance of the proposed algorithm was verified by various simulations. It is shown that the trajectory planning using this algorithm provides correct results near the singular points and can utilize redundancy intuitively.

  • In this paper we study the dynamic bifurcation of the Swift-Hohenberg equation on a periodic cell ${\Omega}=[-L,L]$. It is shown that the equations bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor $\mathcal{A}_{\lambda}$ when th control parameter ${\lambda}$ crosses the critical value. In the odd periodic case $\mathcal{A}_{\lambda}$ is homeomorphic to $S^1$ and consists of eight singular points and thei connecting orbits. In the periodic case, $\mathcal{A}_{\lambda}$ is homeomorphic to $S^1$, an contains a torus and two circles which consist of singular points.

  • From surface flow visualization on a MIRA notchback reference model using oil flow technique, the topology of the singular points of the skin friction lines are delineated. Separation and reattachment lines at the front screen, at the A-pillar, at the C-pillar and on the rear side of the car including the trunk have been identified. It is worth to mention that two vortices emerging from the top of the trunk coil in the opposite direction as that vortices starting from the C-pillar edge. The positions of the singular points and the separation and reattachment lines and the foci of the vortices provide a sensitive database for validation of CFD-codes

  • This paper proposes obstacle detection and classification algorithm using a single laser scanner. The proposed algorithm searches the object singular points using a differential equation, and finds obstacle singular points shows a boundary of obstacle. And the proposed algorithm can classify object even if several obstacles overlapped. Simulation results show the feasibility of proposed algorithm using a single laser scanner, not using several laser scanners.

  • Nonlinear equations of structures are generally solved numerically by the iterative solution of linear equations. However, this iterative procedure diverges when the tangent stiffness is ill-conditioned which occurs near limit points. In other words, a major challenge with simple iterative methods is failure caused by a singular or near singular Jacobian matrix. In this paper, using the Newton-Raphson algorithm based on Davidenko's equations, the iterations can traverse the limit point without difficulty. It is argued that the propose algorithm may be both more computationally efficient and more robust compared to the other algorithm when tracing path through severe nonlinearities such as those associated with structural collapse. Two frames are analyzed using the proposed algorithm and the results are compared with the previous methods. The ability of the proposed method, particularly for tracing the limit points, is demonstrated by those numerical examples.
