Overview of Constrained PARAFAC Models
In this paper, we present an overview of constrained PARAFAC models where the
constraints model linear dependencies among columns of the factor matrices of
the tensor decomposition, or alternatively, the pattern of interactions between
different modes of the tensor which are captured by the equivalent core tensor.
Some tensor prerequisites with a particular emphasis on mode combination using
Kronecker products of canonical vectors that makes easier matricization
operations, are first introduced. This Kronecker product based approach is also
formulated in terms of the index notation, which provides an original and
concise formalism for both matricizing tensors and writing tensor models. Then,
after a brief reminder of PARAFAC and Tucker models, two families of
constrained tensor models, the co-called PARALIND/CONFAC and PARATUCK models,
are described in a unified framework, for order tensors. New tensor
models, called nested Tucker models and block PARALIND/CONFAC models, are also
introduced. A link between PARATUCK models and constrained PARAFAC models is
then established. Finally, new uniqueness properties of PARATUCK models are
deduced from sufficient conditions for essential uniqueness of their associated
constrained PARAFAC models
Neutral heavy lepton production at next high energy linear colliders
The discovery potential for detecting new heavy Majorana and Dirac neutrinos
at some recently proposed high energy colliders is discussed. These
new particles are suggested by grand unified theories and superstring-inspired
models. For these models the production of a single heavy neutrino is shown to
be more relevant than pair production when comparing cross sections and
neutrino mass ranges.
The process is calculated
including on-shell and off-shell heavy neutrino effects.
We present a detailed study of cross sections and distributions that shows a
clear separation between the signal and standard model contributions, even
after including hadronization effects.Comment: 4 pages including 15 figures, 1 table. RevTex. Accepted in Physical

Generalized Euler-Lagrange equations for variational problems with scale derivatives
We obtain several Euler-Lagrange equations for variational functionals
defined on a set of H\"older curves. The cases when the Lagrangian contains
multiple scale derivatives, depends on a parameter, or contains higher-order
scale derivatives are considered.Comment: Submitted on 03-Aug-2009; accepted for publication 16-March-2010; in

Energy efficiency of mmWave massive MIMO precoding with low-resolution DACs
With the congestion of the sub-6 GHz spectrum, the interest in massive
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems operating on millimeter wave
spectrum grows. In order to reduce the power consumption of such massive MIMO
systems, hybrid analog/digital transceivers and application of low-resolution
digital-to-analog/analog-to-digital converters have been recently proposed. In
this work, we investigate the energy efficiency of quantized hybrid
transmitters equipped with a fully/partially-connected phase-shifting network
composed of active/passive phase-shifters and compare it to that of quantized
digital precoders. We introduce a quantized single-user MIMO system model based
on an additive quantization noise approximation considering realistic power
consumption and loss models to evaluate the spectral and energy efficiencies of
the transmit precoding methods. Simulation results show that
partially-connected hybrid precoders can be more energy-efficient compared to
digital precoders, while fully-connected hybrid precoders exhibit poor energy
efficiency in general. Also, the topology of phase-shifting components offers
an energy-spectral efficiency trade-off: active phase-shifters provide higher
data rates, while passive phase-shifters maintain better energy efficiency.Comment: Published in IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processin
