Fair Resource Allocation Algorithm for OFDMA System with Imperfect CSI by Yaohui Wu, Youming Li, Liping Jin, Pengfei Shao

“…In order to solve this problem, a fair resource allocation algorithm was proposed to maximize the system ergodic capacity, while the fairness could be adjusted flexibly by introducing the fairness relaxation factor. In order to reduce the complexity in the use of dual optimization method for solving the lagrange operator process, an iteration searching method in the same layer was proposed to replace the traditional multi-layer iteration searching method. …”

Testing Gaussianity, Homogeneity, and Isotropy with the Cosmic Microwave Background by L. Raul Abramo, Thiago S. Pereira

“…We review the basic hypotheses which motivate the statistical framework used to analyze the cosmic microwave background, and how that framework can be enlarged as we relax those hypotheses. In particular, we try to separate as much as possible the questions of gaussianity, homogeneity, and isotropy from each other. …”

Algorithm of DRM with Kinetic Damping for Finite Element Static Solution of Strain-Softening Structures by Wei Wang, Xiaozu Su

“…In order to deal with the divergence and instability due to the ill-posedness of the nonlinear finite element (FE) model of strain-softening structure in implicit static analysis, the dynamic relaxation method (DRM) was used with kinetic damping to solve the static increments in the incremental solution procedure so that the problem becomes well-posed. …”

Diffusion coefficient matrix for multiple conserved charges: a Kubo approach by Sourav Dey, Amaresh Jaiswal, Hiranmaya Mishra

“…We further demonstrate that in the weak coupling limit, the diffusion matrix elements obtained through Kubo relations reduce to those obtained from kinetic theory with an appropriate identification of the relaxation times. We illustrate this evaluation in a toy model of two interacting scalar fields with two conserved charges.…”

Coordinated beamforming for cognitive multi-cell networks with wiretap channels by Dong-hua CHEN, Xiu-xiu ZHANG, Wei-bo XIE

“…Owing to the coupling among the vectors to be optimized，the problem becomes non-convex and non-linear.Accordingly，a centralized coordinated beamforming design method was proposed by constraining the leakage interference and using the semi-definite relaxation，and on the base of it，a decentralized algorithm was also proposed by decomposing the centralized design problem into a group of sub-problems on each cell’s base by using dual decomposition.Simulation results show that the proposed schemes make effective reduction in power consumption while guarantee the legal users’ secrecy rate requirement and the cognitive interference constraint.Moreover，the proposed decentralized method not only reduces the computational complexity，but also has the same performance as the centralized algorithm.…”

ATOP by Syd Bauman, Martin Holmes, Helena Bermúdez Sabel, David Maus

“…Because of the difficulties of maintaining this current set of stylesheets, a task force was created with the mission of developing, from scratch, an ODD processor that reads in a series of one or more TEI ODD customization files, merges them with a TEI language (likely, but not necessarily, TEI P5 itself), and generates RELAX NG and Schematron schemas. This paper presents a rationale for this task and the initial steps of this work.…”
