Wavelet-Based High-Order Adaptive Modeling of Lossy Interconnects
Abstract—This paper presents a numerical-modeling strategy for simulation of fast transients in lossy electrical interconnects. The proposed algorithm makes use of wavelet representations of voltages and currents along the structure, with the aim of reducing the computational complexity of standard time-domain solvers. A special weak procedure for the implementation of possibly dynamic and nonlinear boundary conditions allows to preserve stability as well as a high approximation order, thus leading to very accurate schemes. On the other hand, the wavelet expansion allows the computation of the solution by using few significant coefficients which are automatically determined at each time step. A dynamically refinable mesh is then used to perform a sparse time-stepping. Several numerical results illustrate the high efficiency of the proposed algorithm, which has been tuned and optimized for best performance in fast digital applications typically found on modern PCB structures.

Adaptive transient solution of nonuniform multiconductor transmission lines using wavelets
Abstract—This paper presents a highly adaptive algorithm for the transient simulation of nonuniform interconnects loaded with arbitrary nonlinear and dynamic terminations. The discretization of the governing equations is obtained through a weak formula-tion using biorthogonal wavelet bases as trial and test functions. It is shown how the multiresolution properties of wavelets lead to very sparse approximations of the voltages and currents in typical transient analyzes. A simple yet effective time–space adaptive al-gorithm capable of selecting the minimal number of unknowns at each time iteration is described. Numerical results show the high degree of adaptivity of the proposed scheme. Index Terms—Electromagnetic (EM) transient analysis, multi-conductor transmission lines (TLs), wavelet transforms. I
Wavelet-based denoising by customized thresholding
The problem of estimating a signal that is corrupted by additive noise has been of interest to many researchers for practical as well as theoretical reasons. Many of the traditional denoising methods have been using linear methods such as the Wiener filtering. Recently, nonlinear methods, especially those based on wavelets have become increasingly popular, due to a number of advantages over the linear methods. It has been shown that wavelet-thresholding
has near-optimal properties in the minimax sense,
and guarantees better rate of convergence, despite its simplicity. Even though much work has been done in the field of wavelet-thresholding, most of it was focused on statistical modeling of the wavelet coefficients and the optimal choice of the thresholds. In this paper, we propose a custom thresholding function which can improve the denoised results significantly. Simulation results are
given to demonstrate the advantage of the new thresholding function
Image interpolation using Shearlet based iterative refinement
This paper proposes an image interpolation algorithm exploiting sparse
representation for natural images. It involves three main steps: (a) obtaining
an initial estimate of the high resolution image using linear methods like FIR
filtering, (b) promoting sparsity in a selected dictionary through iterative
thresholding, and (c) extracting high frequency information from the
approximation to refine the initial estimate. For the sparse modeling, a
shearlet dictionary is chosen to yield a multiscale directional representation.
The proposed algorithm is compared to several state-of-the-art methods to
assess its objective as well as subjective performance. Compared to the cubic
spline interpolation method, an average PSNR gain of around 0.8 dB is observed
over a dataset of 200 images
Un método Wavelet-Galerkin para ecuaciones diferenciales parciales parabólicas
In this paper an Adaptive Wavelet-Galerkin method for the solution ofparabolic partial differential equations modeling physical problems withdifferent spatial and temporal scales is developed. A semi-implicit timedifference scheme is applied andB-spline multiresolution structure on theinterval is used. As in many cases these solutions are known to presentlocalized sharp gradients, local error estimators are designed and an ef-ficient adaptive strategy to choose the appropriate scale for each time isdeveloped. Finally, experiments were performed to illustrate the applica-bility and efficiency of the proposed method.En este trabajo se desarrolla un mĂ©todo Wavelet-Galerkin Adaptativopara la resoluciĂłn de ecuaciones diferenciales parabĂłlicas que modelanproblemas fĂsicos, con diferentes escalas en el espacio y en el tiempo.
