Computational Complexity of Iterated Maps on the Interval (Extended Abstract)

The exact computation of orbits of discrete dynamical systems on the interval is considered. Therefore, a multiple-precision floating point approach based on error analysis is chosen and a general algorithm is presented. The correctness of the algorithm is shown and the computational complexity is analyzed. As a main result, the computational complexity measure considered here is related to the Ljapunow exponent of the dynamical system under consideration

A new approach to the realization of low-sensitivity IIR digital filters

A new implementation of an IIR digital filter transfer function is presented that is structurally passive and, hence, has extremely low pass-band sensitivity. The structure is based on a simple parallel interconnection of two all-pass sections, with each section implemented in a structurally lossless manner. The structure shares a number of properties in common with wave lattice digital filters. Computer simulation results verifying the low-sensitivity feature are included, along with results on roundoff noise/dynamic range interaction. A large number of alternatives is available for the implementation of the all-pass sections, giving rise to the well-known wave lattice digital filters as a specific instance of the implementation

Circulant and skew-circulant matrices as new normal-form realization of IIR digital filters

Normal-form fixed-point state-space realization of IIR (infinite-impulse response) filters are known to be free from both overflow oscillations and roundoff limit cycles, provided magnitude truncation arithmetic is used together with two's-complement overflow features. Two normal-form realizations are derived that utilize circulant and skew-circulant matrices as their state transition matrices. The advantage of these realizations is that the A-matrix has only N (rather than N2) distinct elements and is amenable to efficient memory-oriented implementation. The problem of scaling the internal signals in these structures is addressed, and it is shown that an approximate solution can be obtained through a numerical optimization method. Several numerical examples are included
