Fuzzy Chance-constrained Programming Based Security Information Optimization for Low Probability of Identification Enhancement in Radar Network Systems
In this paper, the problem of low probability of identification (LPID) improvement for radar network systems is investigated. Firstly, the security information is derived to evaluate the LPID performance for radar network. Then, without any prior knowledge of hostile intercept receiver, a novel fuzzy chance-constrained programming (FCCP) based security information optimization scheme is presented to achieve enhanced LPID performance in radar network systems, which focuses on minimizing the achievable mutual information (MI) at interceptor, while the attainable MI outage probability at radar network is enforced to be greater than a specified confidence level. Regarding to the complexity and uncertainty of electromagnetic environment in the modern battlefield, the trapezoidal fuzzy number is used to describe the threshold of achievable MI at radar network based on the credibility theory. Finally, the FCCP model is transformed to a crisp equivalent form with the property of trapezoidal fuzzy number. Numerical simulation results demonstrating the performance of the proposed strategy are provided
Adsorption of Externally Stretched Two-Dimensional Flexible and Semi-flexible Polymers near an Attractive Wall
We study analytically a model of a two dimensional, partially directed,
flexible or semiflexible polymer, attached to an attractive wall which is
perpendicular to the preferred direction. In addition, the polymer is stretched
by an externally applied force. We find that the wall has a dramatic effect on
the polymer. For wall attraction smaller than the non-sequential nearest
neighbor attraction, the fraction of monomers at the wall is zero and the model
is the same as that of a polymer without a wall. However, for greater than, the
fraction of monomers at the wall undergoes a first order transition from unity
at low temperature and small force, to zero at higher temperatures and forces.
We present phase diagram for this transition. Our results are confirmed by
Monte-Carlo simulations.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Distributions of Upper PAPR and Lower PAPR of OFDM Signals in Visible Light Communications
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) in visible light
communications (VLC) inherits the disadvantage of high peak-to-average power
ratio (PAPR) from OFDM in radio frequency (RF) communications. The upper peak
power and lower peak power of real-valued VLC-OFDM signals are both limited by
the dynamic constraints of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The efficiency and
transmitted electrical power are directly related with the upper PAPR (UPAPR)
and lower PAPR (LPAPR) of VLC-OFDM. In this paper, we will derive the
complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of UPAPR and LPAPR, and
investigate the joint distribution of UPAPR and LPAPR.Comment: acceptted by IEEE ICASSP 2014. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Quantisation of 2D-gravity with Weyl and area-preserving diffeomorphism invariances
The constraint structure of 2D-gravity with the Weyl and area-preserving
diffeomorphism invariances is analysed in the ADM formulation. It is found that
when the area-preserving diffeomorphism constraints are kept, the usual
conformal gauge does not exist, whereas there is the possibility to choose the
so-called ``quasi-light-cone'' gauge, in which besides the area-preserving
diffeomorphism invariance, the reduced Lagrangian also possesses the SL(2,R)
residual symmetry. The string-like approach is applied to quantise this model,
but a fictitious non-zero central charge in the Virasoro algebra appears. When
a set of gauge-independent SL(2,R) current-like fields is introduced instead of
the string-like variables, a consistent quantum theory is obtained.Comment: 14 pages, Latex fil
Neutron halo in deformed nuclei from a relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model in a Woods-Saxon basis
Halo phenomenon in deformed nuclei is studied by using a fully
self-consistent deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model in a spherical
Woods-Saxon basis with the proper asymptotic behavior at large distance from
the nuclear center. Taking a deformed neutron-rich and weakly bound nucleus
Mg as an example and by examining contributions of the halo, deformation
effects, and large spatial extensions, we show a decoupling of the halo
orbitals from the deformation of the core.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the International

Improved Compressive Sensing Of Natural Scenes Using Localized Random Sampling
Compressive sensing (CS) theory demonstrates that by using uniformly-random sampling, rather than uniformly-spaced sampling, higher quality image reconstructions are often achievable. Considering that the structure of sampling protocols has such a profound impact on the quality of image reconstructions, we formulate a new sampling scheme motivated by physiological receptive field structure, localized random sampling, which yields significantly improved CS image reconstructions. For each set of localized image measurements, our sampling method first randomly selects an image pixel and then measures its nearby pixels with probability depending on their distance from the initially selected pixel. We compare the uniformly-random and localized random sampling methods over a large space of sampling parameters, and show that, for the optimal parameter choices, higher quality image reconstructions can be consistently obtained by using localized random sampling. In addition, we argue that the localized random CS optimal parameter choice is stable with respect to diverse natural images, and scales with the number of samples used for reconstruction. We expect that the localized random sampling protocol helps to explain the evolutionarily advantageous nature of receptive field structure in visual systems and suggests several future research areas in CS theory and its application to brain imaging
