Series of broad resonances in atomic three-body systems
We re-examine the series of resonances found earlier in atomic three-body
systems by solving the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equations. These resonances
are rather broad and line-up at each threshold with gradually increasing gaps,
the same way for all thresholds and irrespective of the spatial symmetry. We
relate these resonances to the Gailitis mechanism, which is a consequence of
the polarization potential.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Electron-hydrogen scattering in Faddeev-Merkuriev integral equation approach
Electron-hydrogen scattering is studied in the Faddeev-Merkuriev integral
equation approach. The equations are solved by using the Coulomb-Sturmian
separable expansion technique. We present - and -wave scattering and
reactions cross sections up to the threshold.Comment: 2 eps figure
An Efficient Method for GPS Multipath Mitigation Using the Teager-Kaiser-Operator-based MEDLL
An efficient method for GPS multipath mitigation is proposed. The motivation for this proposed method is to integrate the Teager-Kaiser Operator (TKO) with the Multipath Estimating Delay Lock Loop (MEDLL) module to mitigate the GPS multipath efficiently. The general implementation process of the proposed method is that we first utilize the TKO to operate on the received signal’s Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) to get an initial estimate of the multipaths. Then we transfer the initial estimated results to the MEDLL module for a further estimation. Finally, with a few iterations which are less than those of the original MEDLL algorithm, we can get a more accurate estimate of the Line-Of-Sight (LOS) signal, and thus the goal of the GPS multipath mitigation is achieved. The simulation results show that compared to the original MEDLL algorithm, the proposed method can reduce the computation load and the hardware and/or software consumption of the MEDLL module, meanwhile, without decreasing the algorithm accuracy
H ∞ sliding mode observer design for a class of nonlinear discrete time-delay systems: A delay-fractioning approach
Copyright @ 2012 John Wiley & SonsIn this paper, the H ∞ sliding mode observer (SMO) design problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear discrete time-delay systems. The nonlinear descriptions quantify the maximum possible derivations from a linear model, and the system states are allowed to be immeasurable. Attention is focused on the design of a discrete-time SMO such that the asymptotic stability as well as the H ∞ performance requirement of the error dynamics can be guaranteed in the presence of nonlinearities, time delay and external disturbances. Firstly, a discrete-time discontinuous switched term is proposed to make sure that the reaching condition holds. Then, by constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional based on the idea of ‘delay fractioning’ and by introducing some appropriate free-weighting matrices, a sufficient condition is established to guarantee the desired performance of the error dynamics in the specified sliding mode surface by solving a minimization problem. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the effectiveness of the designed SMO design scheme
