Efficient algorithm for solving semi-infinite programming problems and their applications to nonuniform filter bank designs
An efficient algorithm for solving semi-infinite programming problems is proposed in this paper. The index set is constructed by adding only one of the most violated points in a refined set of grid points. By applying this algorithm for solving the optimum nonuniform symmetric/antisymmetric linear phase finite-impulse-response (FIR) filter bank design problems, the time required to obtain a globally optimal solution is much reduced compared with that of the previous proposed algorith

Specifically, we aim to design a filter such that the H∞ norm of the filtering error-transfer function is not less than a given upper bound, while the poles of the filtering matrix are assigned within a prespecified circular region, and the steady-state error variance for each state is not more than the individual prespecified value. The filter design problem is formulated as an auxiliary matrix assignment problem. Both the existence condition and the explicit expression of the desired filters are then derived by using an algebraic matrix inequality approach. The proposed design algorithm is illustrated by a numerical example
Optimal design of nonuniform FIR transmultiplexer using semi-infinite programming
This paper considers an optimum nonuniform FIR transmultiplexer design problem subject to specifications in the frequency domain. Our objective is to minimize the sum of the ripple energy for all the individual filters, subject to the specifications on amplitude and aliasing distortions, and to the passband and stopband specifications for the individual filters. This optimum nonuniform transmultiplexer design problem can be formulated as a quadratic semi-infinite programming problem. The dual parametrization algorithm is extended to this nonuniform transmultiplexer design problem. If the lengths of the filters are sufficiently long and the set of decimation integers is compatible, then a solution exists. Since the problem is formulated as a convex problem, if a solution exists, then the solution obtained is unique and the local solution is a global minimum
Design of Waveform Set for Multiuser Ultra-Wideband Communications
The thesis investigates the design of analogue waveform sets for multiuser and UWB communications using suitably
chosen Hermite-Rodriguez basis functions. The non-linear non-convex optimization problem with time and frequency
domains constraints has been transformed into suitable forms and then solved using a standard optimization package.
The proposed approach is more flexible and efficient than existing approaches in the literature. Numerical results show
that orthogonal waveform sets with high spectral efficiency can be produced
A review of differentiable digital signal processing for music and speech synthesis
The term “differentiable digital signal processing” describes a family of techniques in which loss function gradients are backpropagated through digital signal processors, facilitating their integration into neural networks. This article surveys the literature on differentiable audio signal processing, focusing on its use in music and speech synthesis. We catalogue applications to tasks including music performance rendering, sound matching, and voice transformation, discussing the motivations for and implications of the use of this methodology. This is accompanied by an overview of digital signal processing operations that have been implemented differentiably, which is further supported by a web book containing practical advice on differentiable synthesiser programming (https://intro2ddsp.github.io/). Finally, we highlight open challenges, including optimisation pathologies, robustness to real-world conditions, and design trade-offs, and discuss directions for future research
