A spectral projection method for transmission eigenvalues
In this paper, we consider a nonlinear integral eigenvalue problem, which is
a reformulation of the transmission eigenvalue problem arising in the inverse
scattering theory. The boundary element method is employed for discretization,
which leads to a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem. We propose a novel
method based on the spectral projection. The method probes a given region on
the complex plane using contour integrals and decides if the region contains
eigenvalue(s) or not. It is particularly suitable to test if zero is an
eigenvalue of the generalized eigenvalue problem, which in turn implies that
the associated wavenumber is a transmission eigenvalue. Effectiveness and
efficiency of the new method are demonstrated by numerical examples.Comment: The paper has been accepted for publication in SCIENCE CHINA

Recursive integral method for transmission eigenvalues
Recently, a new eigenvalue problem, called the transmission eigenvalue
problem, has attracted many researchers. The problem arose in inverse
scattering theory for inhomogeneous media and has important applications in a
variety of inverse problems for target identification and nondestructive
testing. The problem is numerically challenging because it is non-selfadjoint
and nonlinear. In this paper, we propose a recursive integral method for
computing transmission eigenvalues from a finite element discretization of the
continuous problem. The method, which overcomes some difficulties of existing
methods, is based on eigenprojectors of compact operators. It is
self-correcting, can separate nearby eigenvalues, and does not require an
initial approximation based on some a priori spectral information. These
features make the method well suited for the transmission eigenvalue problem
whose spectrum is complicated. Numerical examples show that the method is
effective and robust.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Initial results on an MMSE precoding and equalisation approach to MIMO PLC channels
This paper addresses some initial experiments using polynomial matrix decompositions to construct MMSE precoders and equalisers for MIMO power line communications (PLC) channels. The proposed scheme is based on a Wiener formulation based on polynomial matrices, and recent results to design and implement such systems with polynomial matrix tools. Applied to the MIMO PLC channel, the strong spectral dynamics of the PLC system together with the long impulse responses contained in the MIMO system result in problems, such that diagonlisation and spectral majorisation is mostly achieved in bands of high energy, while low-energy bands can resist any diagonalisation efforts. We introduce the subband approach in order to deal with this problem. A representative example using a simulated MIMO PLC channel is presented
Dual polarization nonlinear Fourier transform-based optical communication system
New services and applications are causing an exponential increase in internet
traffic. In a few years, current fiber optic communication system
infrastructure will not be able to meet this demand because fiber nonlinearity
dramatically limits the information transmission rate. Eigenvalue communication
could potentially overcome these limitations. It relies on a mathematical
technique called "nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT)" to exploit the "hidden"
linearity of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation as the master model for
signal propagation in an optical fiber. We present here the theoretical tools
describing the NFT for the Manakov system and report on experimental
transmission results for dual polarization in fiber optic eigenvalue
communications. A transmission of up to 373.5 km with bit error rate less than
the hard-decision forward error correction threshold has been achieved. Our
results demonstrate that dual-polarization NFT can work in practice and enable
an increased spectral efficiency in NFT-based communication systems, which are
currently based on single polarization channels
Towards Dual-functional Radar-Communication Systems: Optimal Waveform Design
We focus on a dual-functional multi-input-multi-output (MIMO)
radar-communication (RadCom) system, where a single transmitter communicates
with downlink cellular users and detects radar targets simultaneously. Several
design criteria are considered for minimizing the downlink multi-user
interference. First, we consider both the omnidirectional and directional
beampattern design problems, where the closed-form globally optimal solutions
are obtained. Based on these waveforms, we further consider a weighted
optimization to enable a flexible trade-off between radar and communications
performance and introduce a low-complexity algorithm. The computational costs
of the above three designs are shown to be similar to the conventional
zero-forcing (ZF) precoding. Moreover, to address the more practical constant
modulus waveform design problem, we propose a branch-and-bound algorithm that
obtains a globally optimal solution and derive its worst-case complexity as a
function of the maximum iteration number. Finally, we assess the effectiveness
of the proposed waveform design approaches by numerical results.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for
