Fixed Point Decimal Multiplication Using RPS Algorithm

Decimal multiplication is an integral part of financial, commercial, and internet-based computations. A novel design for single digit decimal multiplication that reduces the critical path delay and area for an iterative multiplier is proposed in this research. The partial products are generated using single digit multipliers, and are accumulated based on a novel RPS algorithm. This design uses n single digit multipliers for an n × n multiplication. The latency for the multiplication of two n-digit Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) operands is (n + 1) cycles and a new multiplication can begin every n cycle. The accumulation of final partial products and the first iteration of partial product generation for next set of inputs are done simultaneously. This iterative decimal multiplier offers low latency and high throughput, and can be extended for decimal floating-point multiplication.

A Novel Decision Tree Algorithm for Numeric Datasets - C 4.5*Stat

Decision trees are very powerful tools for classification in data mining tasks that involves different types of attributes. When coming to handling numeric data sets, usually they are converted first to categorical types and then classified using information gain concepts. Information gain is a very popular and useful concept which tells you, whether any benefit occurs after splitting with a given attribute as far as information content is concerned. But this process is computationally intensive for large data sets. Also popular decision tree algorithms like ID3 cannot handle numeric data sets. This paper proposes statistical variance as an alternative to information gain as well as statistical mean to split attributes in completely numerical data sets. The new algorithm has been proved to be competent with respect to its information gain counterpart C4.5 and competent with many existing decision tree algorithms against the standard UCI benchmarking datasets using the ANOVA test in statistics. The specific advantages of this proposed new algorithm are that it avoids the computational overhead of information gain computation for large data sets with many attributes, as well as it avoids the conversion to categorical data from huge numeric data sets which also is a time consuming task. So as a summary, huge numeric datasets can be directly submitted to this algorithm without any attribute mappings or information gain computations. It also blends the two closely related fields statistics and data mining

A Reinforcement Learning Algorithm to Economic Dispatch Considering Transmission Losses

Reinforcement Learning (RL) refers to a class of learning algorithms in which learning system learns which action to take in different situations by using a scalar evaluation received from the environment on performing an action. RL has been successfully applied to many multi stage decision making problem (MDP) where in each stage the learning systems decides which action has to be taken. Economic Dispatch (ED) problem is an important scheduling problem in power systems, which decides the amount of generation to be allocated to each generating unit so that the total cost of generation is minimized without violating system constraints. In this paper we formulate economic dispatch problem as a multi stage decision making problem. In this paper, we also develop RL based algorithm to solve the ED problem. The performance of our algorithm is compared with other recent methods. The main advantage of our method is it can learn the schedule for all possible demands simultaneously.

Short-Term Load Forecast Of A Low Loadfactor Power System For Optimization Of Merit Order Dispatch Using Adaptive Learning Algorithm

Short term load forecasting is one of the key inputs to optimize the management of power system. Almost 60-65% of revenue expenditure of a distribution company is against power purchase. Cost of power depends on source of power. Hence any optimization strategy involves optimization in scheduling power from various sources. As the scheduling involves many technical and commercial considerations and constraints, the efficiency in scheduling depends on the accuracy of load forecast. Load forecasting is a topic much visited in research world and a number of papers using different techniques are already presented. The accuracy of forecast for the purpose of merit order dispatch decisions depends on the extent of the permissible variation in generation limits. For a system with low load factor, the peak and the off peak trough are prominent and the forecast should be able to identify these points to more accuracy rather than minimizing the error in the energy content. In this paper an attempt is made to apply Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with supervised learning based approach to make short term load forecasting for a power system with comparatively low load factor. Such power systems are usual in tropical areas with concentrated rainy season for a considerable period of the year

ECG Noise Removal using GA tuned Sign-Data Least Mean Square Algorithm

Adaptive filter is a primary method to filter Electrocardiogram (ECG), because it does not need the signal statistical characteristics. In this paper, an adaptive filtering technique for denoising the ECG based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) tuned Sign-Data Least Mean Square (SD-LMS) algorithm is proposed. This technique minimizes the mean-squared error between the primary input, which is a noisy ECG, and a reference input which can be either noise that is correlated in some way with the noise in the primary input or a signal that is correlated only with ECG in the primary input. Noise is used as the reference signal in this work. The algorithm was applied to the records from the MIT -BIH Arrhythmia database for removing the baseline wander and 60Hz power line interference. The proposed algorithm gave an average signal to noise ratio improvement of 10.75 dB for baseline wander and 24.26 dB for power line interference which is better than the previous reported works

A Multi-Objective Antenna Placement Genetic Algorithm for Matched Array Synthesis on Complex Platforms

A Multi-Objective Antenna Placement Genetic Algorithm (MO-APGA) has been proposed for the synthesis of matched antenna arrays on complex platforms. The total number of antennas required, their position on the platform, location of loads, loading circuit parameters, decoupling and matching network topology, matching network parameters and feed network parameters are optimized simultaneously. The optimization goal was to provide a given minimum gain, specific gain discrimination between the main and back lobes and broadband performance. This algorithm is developed based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) technique for producing diverse solutions when the number of objectives is increased beyond two. The proposed method is validated through the design of a wideband airborne SAR

Genetic algorithm based indicator sequence method for exon prediction

Considerable research effort has been devoted in predicting the exon regions of genes. The binary indicator (BI), Electron ion interaction pseudo potential (EIIP), Filter method are some of the methods. All these methods make use of the period three behavior of the exon region. Even though the method suggested in this paper is similar to above mentioned methods , it introduces a set of sequences for mapping the nucleotides selected by applying genetic algorithm and found to be more promising

A Faster 2D Technique for the design of Combinational Digital Circuits Using Genetic Algorithm

Combinational digital circuits can be evolved automatically using Genetic Algorithms (GA). Until recently this technique used linear chromosomes and and one dimensional crossover and mutation operators. In this paper, a new method for representing combinational digital circuits as 2 Dimensional (2D) chromosomes and suitable 2D crossover and mutation techniques has been proposed. By using this method, the convergence speed of GA can be increased significantly compared to the conventional methods. Moreover, the 2D representation and crossover operation provides the designer with better visualization of the evolved circuits. In addition to this, a technique to display automatically the evolved circuits has been developed with the help of MATLAB

An Improved Design of Combinational Digital Circuits with Multiplexers using Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a new approach to the design of combinational digital circuits with multiplexers using Evolutionary techniques. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used as the optimization tool. Several circuits are synthesized with this method and compared with two design techniques such as standard implementation of logic functions using multiplexers and implementation using Shannon’s decomposition technique using GA. With the proposed method complexity of the circuit and the associated delay can be reduced significantly

A generic polynomial solution for the differential equation of hypergeometric type and six sequences of orthogonal polynomials related to it

In this work, we present a generic formula for the polynomial solution families of the well-known differential equation of hypergeometric type s(x)y"n(x) + t(x)y'n(x) - lnyn(x) = 0 and show that all the three classical orthogonal polynomial families as well as three finite orthogonal polynomial families, extracted from this equation, can be identified as special cases of this derived polynomial sequence. Some general properties of this sequence are also given.

Orthogonal polynomials and recurrence equations, operator equations and factorization

This article surveys the classical orthogonal polynomial systems of the Hahn class, which are solutions of second-order differential, difference or q-difference equations. Orthogonal families satisfy three-term recurrence equations. Example applications of an algorithm to determine whether a three-term recurrence equation has solutions in the Hahn class - implemented in the computer algebra system Maple - are given. Modifications of these families, in particular associated orthogonal systems, satisfy fourth-order operator equations. A factorization of these equations leads to a solution basis.

Functions satisfying holonomic q-differential equations

In a similar manner as in some previous papers, where explicit algorithms for finding the differential equations satisfied by holonomic functions were given, in this paper we deal with the space of the q-holonomic functions which are the solutions of linear q-differential equations with polynomial coefficients. The sum, product and the composition with power functions of q-holonomic functions are also q-holonomic and the resulting q-differential equations can be computed algorithmically.

Faktorisierung in Schief-Polynomringen

In der Arbeit werden zunächst die wesentlichsten Fakten über Schiefpolynome wiederholt, der Fokus liegt dabei auf Shift- und q-Shift-Operatoren in Charakteristik Null. Alle für die Arithmetik mit diesen Objekten notwendigen Konzepte und Algorithmen finden sich im ersten Kapitel. Einige der zur Bestimmung von Lösungen notwendigen Daten können aus dem Newtonpolygon, einer den Operatoren zugeordneten geometrischen Figur, abgelesen werden. Die Herleitung dieser Zusammenhänge ist das Thema des zweiten Kapitels der Arbeit, wobei dies insbesondere im q-Shift-Fall in dieser Form neu ist. Das dritte Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit der Bestimmung polynomieller und rationaler Lösungen dieser Operatoren, dabei folgt es im Wesentlichen der Darstellung von Mark van Hoeij. Der für die Faktorisierung von (q-)Shift Operatoren interessanteste Fall sind die sogenannten (q-)hypergeometrischen Lösungen, die direkt zu Rechtsfaktoren erster Ordnung korrespondieren. Im vierten Kapitel wird der van Hoeij-Algorithmus vom Shift- auf den q-Shift-Fall übertragen. Außerdem wird eine deutliche Verbesserung des q-Petkovsek-Algorithmus mit Hilfe der Daten des Newtonpolygons hergeleitet. Das fünfte Kapitel widmet sich der Berechnung allgemeiner Faktoren, wozu zunächst der adjungierte Operator eingeführt wird, der die Berechnung von Linksfaktoren erlaubt. Dann wird ein Algorithmus zur Berechnung von Rechtsfaktoren beliebiger Ordnung dargestellt. Für die praktische Benutzung ist dies allerdings für höhere Ordnungen unpraktikabel. Bei fast allen vorgestellten Algorithmen tritt das Lösen linearer Gleichungssysteme über rationalen Funktionenkörpern als Zwischenschritt auf. Dies ist in den meisten Computeralgebrasystemen nicht befriedigend gelöst. Aus diesem Grund wird im letzten Kapitel ein auf Evaluation und Interpolation basierender Algorithmus zur Lösung dieses Problems vorgestellt, der in allen getesteten Systemen den Standard-Algorithmen deutlich überlegen ist. Alle Algorithmen der Arbeit sind in einem MuPAD-Package implementiert, das der Arbeit beiliegt und eine komfortable Handhabung der auftretenden Objekte erlaubt. Mit diesem Paket können in MuPAD nun viele Probleme gelöst werden, für die es vorher keine Funktionen gab.

Algorithmen für q-holonome Funktionen und q-hypergeometrische Reihen

Die q-Analysis ist eine spezielle Diskretisierung der Analysis auf einem Gitter, welches eine geometrische Folge darstellt, und findet insbesondere in der Quantenphysik eine breite Anwendung, ist aber auch in der Theorie der q-orthogonalen Polynome und speziellen Funktionen von großer Bedeutung. Die betrachteten mathematischen Objekte aus der q-Welt weisen meist eine recht komplizierte Struktur auf und es liegt daher nahe, sie mit Computeralgebrasystemen zu behandeln. In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden Algorithmen für q-holonome Funktionen und q-hypergeometrische Reihen vorgestellt. Alle Algorithmen sind in dem Maple-Package qFPS, welches integraler Bestandteil der Arbeit ist, implementiert. Nachdem in den ersten beiden Kapiteln Grundlagen geschaffen werden, werden im dritten Kapitel Algorithmen präsentiert, mit denen man zu einer q-holonomen Funktion q-holonome Rekursionsgleichungen durch Kenntnis derer q-Shifts aufstellen kann. Operationen mit q-holonomen Rekursionen werden ebenfalls behandelt. Im vierten Kapitel werden effiziente Methoden zur Bestimmung polynomialer, rationaler und q-hypergeometrischer Lösungen von q-holonomen Rekursionen beschrieben. Das fünfte Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit q-hypergeometrischen Potenzreihen bzgl. spezieller Polynombasen. Wir formulieren einen neuen Algorithmus, der zu einer q-holonomen Rekursionsgleichung einer q-hypergeometrischen Reihe mit nichttrivialem Entwicklungspunkt die entsprechende q-holonome Rekursionsgleichung für die Koeffizienten ermittelt. Ferner können wir einen neuen Algorithmus angeben, der umgekehrt zu einer q-holonomen Rekursionsgleichung für die Koeffizienten eine q-holonome Rekursionsgleichung der Reihe bestimmt und der nützlich ist, um q-holonome Rekursionen für bestimmte verallgemeinerte q-hypergeometrische Funktionen aufzustellen. Mit Formulierung des q-Taylorsatzes haben wir schließlich alle Zutaten zusammen, um das Hauptergebnis dieser Arbeit, das q-Analogon des FPS-Algorithmus zu erhalten. Wolfram Koepfs FPS-Algorithmus aus dem Jahre 1992 bestimmt zu einer gegebenen holonomen Funktion die entsprechende hypergeometrische Reihe. Wir erweitern den Algorithmus dahingehend, dass sogar Linearkombinationen q-hypergeometrischer Potenzreihen bestimmt werden können. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
