Stochastic Approximation and Its Application (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications)

Stochastic Approximation and Its Application (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications), 9781402008061 (1402008066), Springer, 2002

This book presents the recent development of stochastic approximation algorithms with expanding truncations based on the TS (trajectory-subsequence) method, a newly developed method for convergence analysis. This approach is so powerful that conditions used for guaranteeing convergence have been considerably weakened in comparison with those applied in the classical probability and ODE methods. The general convergence theorem is presented for sample paths and is proved in a purely deterministic way. The sample-path description of theorems is particularly convenient for applications. Convergence theory takes both observation noise and structural error of the regression function into consideration. Convergence rates, asymptotic normality and other asymptotic properties are presented as well. Applications of the developed theory to global optimization, blind channel identification, adaptive filtering, system parameter identification, adaptive stabilization and other problems arising from engineering fields are demonstrated. Audience: Researchers and students of both graduate and undergraduate levels in systems and control, optimization, signal processing, communication and statistics.

Geocaching: Hike and Seek with Your GPS (Technology in Action Series)

Apress, 2004

It isn't often that you witness the birth of a new sport or game. I'm not referring to some variation on a theme, like snowboarding on your hands, or to one of the prepackaged amusements that erupt like a volcano of marketing froth during the holiday seasons, but a real game-one that catches the imagination and quickly...

Designing Indoor Solar Products

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Photovoltaic technology - or the direct conversion of light into electricity - is the fastest growing means of electricity generation today, however it is generally used outdoors. Relatively little attention has been focused on the many obstacles to overcome when designing efficient indoor products. As a result, indoor products are more often...
