    In this chapter system identification algorithms for sparse nonlinear multi input multi output (MIMO) systems are developed. These algorithms are potentially useful in a variety of application areas including digital transmission systems incorporating power amplifier(s) along with multiple antennas, cognitive processing, adaptive control of nonlinear multivariable systems, and multivariable biological systems. Sparsity is a key constraint imposed on the model. The presence of sparsity is often dictated by physical considerations as in wireless fading channel-estimation. In other cases it appears as a pragmatic modelling approach that seeks to cope with the curse of dimensionality, particularly acute in nonlinear systems like Volterra type series. Three dentification approaches are discussed: conventional identification based on both input and output samples, semi–blind identification placing emphasis on minimal input resources and blind identification whereby only output samples are available plus a–priori information on input characteristics. Based on this taxonomy a variety of algorithms, existing and new, are studied and evaluated by simulation

    Structure-Preserving Model Reduction of Physical Network Systems

    This paper considers physical network systems where the energy storage is naturally associated to the nodes of the graph, while the edges of the graph correspond to static couplings. The first sections deal with the linear case, covering examples such as mass-damper and hydraulic systems, which have a structure that is similar to symmetric consensus dynamics. The last section is concerned with a specific class of nonlinear physical network systems; namely detailed-balanced chemical reaction networks governed by mass action kinetics. In both cases, linear and nonlinear, the structure of the dynamics is similar, and is based on a weighted Laplacian matrix, together with an energy function capturing the energy storage at the nodes. We discuss two methods for structure-preserving model reduction. The first one is clustering; aggregating the nodes of the underlying graph to obtain a reduced graph. The second approach is based on neglecting the energy storage at some of the nodes, and subsequently eliminating those nodes (called Kron reduction).</p

    Adaptive filters are applied in several electronic and communication devices like smartphones, advanced headphones, DSP chips, smart antenna, and teleconference systems. Also, they have application in many areas such as system identification, channel equalization, noise reduction, echo cancellation, interference cancellation, signal prediction, and stock market. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption of the adaptive filtering algorithms has great importance, particularly in green technologies and in devices using battery. In this thesis, data-selective adaptive filters, in particular the set-membership (SM) adaptive filters, are the tools to reach the goal. There are well known SM adaptive filters in literature. This work introduces new algorithms based on the classical ones in order to improve their performances and reduce the number of required arithmetic operations at the same time. Therefore, firstly, we analyze the robustness of the classical SM adaptive filtering algorithms. Secondly, we extend the SM technique to trinion and quaternion systems. Thirdly, by combining SM filtering and partialupdating, we introduce a new improved set-membership affine projection algorithm with constrained step size to improve its stability behavior. Fourthly, we propose some new least-mean-square (LMS) based and recursive least-squares based adaptive filtering algorithms with low computational complexity for sparse systems. Finally, we derive some feature LMS algorithms to exploit the hidden sparsity in the parameters.Filtros adaptativos são aplicados em diversos aparelhos eletrônicos e de comunicação, como smartphones, fone de ouvido avançados, DSP chips, antenas inteligentes e sistemas de teleconferência. Eles também têm aplicação em várias áreas como identificação de sistemas, equalização de canal, cancelamento de eco, cancelamento de interferência, previsão de sinal e mercado de ações. Desse modo, reduzir o consumo de energia de algoritmos adaptativos tem importância significativa, especialmente em tecnologias verdes e aparelhos que usam bateria. Nesta tese, filtros adaptativos com seleção de dados, em particular filtros adaptativos da família set-membership (SM), são apresentados para cumprir essa missão. No presente trabalho objetivamos apresentar novos algoritmos, baseados nos clássicos, a fim de aperfeiçoar seus desempenhos e, ao mesmo tempo, reduzir o número de operações aritméticas exigidas. Dessa forma, primeiro analisamos a robustez dos filtros adaptativos SM clássicos. Segundo, estendemos o SM aos números trinions e quaternions. Terceiro, foram utilizadas também duas famílias de algoritmos, SM filtering e partial-updating, de uma maneira elegante, visando reduzir energia ao máximo possível e obter um desempenho competitivo em termos de estabilidade. Quarto, a tese propõe novos filtros adaptativos baseado em algoritmos least-mean-square (LMS) e mínimos quadrados recursivos com complexidade computacional baixa para espaços esparsos. Finalmente, derivamos alguns algoritmos feature LMS para explorar a esparsidade escondida nos parâmetros

    Generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature and applications

    A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal
