Identification of Nonlinear Parameter-Dependent Common-Structured models to accommodate varying experimental conditions and design parameter properties
This study considers the identification problem for a class of nonlinear parameter-varying systems associated with the following scenario: the system behaviour depends on some specifically prescribed parameter properties, which are adjustable. To understand the effect of the varying parameters, several different experiments, corresponding to different parameter properties, are carried out and different data sets are collected. The objective is to find, from the available data sets, a common parameter-dependent model structure that best fits the adjustable parameter properties for the underlying system. An efficient common model structure selection (CMSS) algorithm, called the extended forward orthogonal regression (EFOR) algorithm, is proposed to select such a common model structure. Several examples are presented to illustrate the application and the effectiveness of the new identification approach
An algorithm for determining the output frequency range of Volterra models with multiple inputs
A new algorithm for determining the output frequency range and the frequency components of Volterra models under multiple inputs is introduced for nonlinear system analysis. For a given Volterra model, the output frequency components corresponding to a multi-tone input can easily be calculated using the new algorithm
Mottness induced phase decoherence suggests Bose-Einstein condensation in overdoped cuprate high-temperature superconductors
Recent observations of diminishing superfluid phase stiffness in overdoped
cuprate high-temperature superconductors challenges the conventional picture of
superconductivity. Here, through analytic estimation and verified via
variational Monte Carlo calculation of an emergent Bose liquid, we point out
that Mottness of the underlying doped holes dictates a strong phase fluctuation
of the superfluid at moderate carrier density. This effect turns the expected
doping-increased phase stiffness into a dome shape, in good agreement with the
recent observation. Specifically, the effective mass divergence due to
"jamming" of the low-energy bosons reproduces the observed nonlinear relation
between phase stiffness and transition temperature. Our results suggest a new
paradigm, in which the high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates is
dominated by physics of Bose-Einstein condensation, as opposed to
pairing-strength limited Cooper pairing.Comment: 6+3 pages, 4+1 figure
Thermodynamics of pairing transition in hot nuclei
The pairing correlations in hot nuclei Dy are investigated in terms
of the thermodynamical properties by covariant density functional theory. The
heat capacities are evaluated in the canonical ensemble theory and the
paring correlations are treated by a shell-model-like approach, in which the
particle number is conserved exactly. A S-shaped heat capacity curve, which
agrees qualitatively with the experimental data, has been obtained and analyzed
in details. It is found that the one-pair-broken states play crucial roles in
the appearance of the S shape of the heat capacity curve. Moreover, due to the
effect of the particle-number conservation, the pairing gap varies smoothly
with the temperature, which indicates a gradual transition from the superfluid
to the normal state.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
3D Face Synthesis Driven by Personality Impression
Synthesizing 3D faces that give certain personality impressions is commonly
needed in computer games, animations, and virtual world applications for
producing realistic virtual characters. In this paper, we propose a novel
approach to synthesize 3D faces based on personality impression for creating
virtual characters. Our approach consists of two major steps. In the first
step, we train classifiers using deep convolutional neural networks on a
dataset of images with personality impression annotations, which are capable of
predicting the personality impression of a face. In the second step, given a 3D
face and a desired personality impression type as user inputs, our approach
optimizes the facial details against the trained classifiers, so as to
synthesize a face which gives the desired personality impression. We
demonstrate our approach for synthesizing 3D faces giving desired personality
impressions on a variety of 3D face models. Perceptual studies show that the
perceived personality impressions of the synthesized faces agree with the
target personality impressions specified for synthesizing the faces. Please

Constructing an overall dynamical model for a system with changing design parameter properties
This study considers the identification problem for a class of non-linear parameter-varying systems associated with the following scenario: the system behaviour depends on some specifically prescribed parameter properties, which are adjustable.

The objective is to find, from the available data sets, a common parameter-dependent model structure that best fits the adjustable parameter properties for the underlying system.

New Insights into the Plateau-Insulator Transition in the Quantum Hall Regime
We have measured the quantum critical behavior of the plateau-insulator (PI)
transition in a low-mobility InGaAs/GaAs quantum well. The longitudinal
resistivity measured for two different values of the electron density follows
an exponential law, from which we extract critical exponents kappa = 0.54 and
0.58, in good agreement with the value (kappa = 0.57) previously obtained for
an InGaAs/InP heterostructure. This provides evidence for a non-Fermi liquid
critical exponent. By reversing the direction of the magnetic field we find
that the averaged Hall resistance remains quantized at the plateau value h/e^2
through the PI transition. From the deviations of the Hall resistance from the
quantized value, we obtain the corrections to scaling.Comment: accepted proceedings of EP2DS-15 (to be published in Physica E
