Iterative MIMO Channel Estimation for Next Generation Wireless Systems
The combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been considered as an attractive solution for the next generation wireless communication networks. In comparison with single-input single-output (SISO) systems, channel estimation in the MIMO scenario becomes more challenging, owing to the increased number of independent transmitter-receiver links to be estimated. In this paper, we introduce an enhanced iterative channel estimation method, which is capable of providing genetically optimized channel information for uplink multi-user MIMO OFDM receivers, approaching the optimal benchmark arrangement utilizing perfect channel knowledge. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by a range of numerical results under realistic scenarios.

Soft-Information Assisted Near-Optimum Nonlinear Detection for BLAST-type Space Division Multiplexing OFDM Systems
In this contribution, a nonlinear hybrid detection scheme based on a novel soft-information assisted genetic algorithm (GA) is proposed for a turbo convolutional (TC) coded space division multiplexing (SDM) aided orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Our numerical results show that the performance of the currently known GA-assisted system can be improved by about 2 dB with the aid of the GA's population-based soft solution, approaching the optimum performance of the soft-information assisted maximum likelihood (ML) detection, while exhibiting a lower complexity, especially in high-throughput scenarios. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is capable of achieving a good performance even in the so-called overloaded systems, where the number of transmit antennas is higher than the number of receiver antennas

Iterative Joint Channel Estimation and Symbol Detection for Multi-User MIMO OFDM
Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems have recently attracted substantial research interest. However, compared to single-input-single-output (SISO) systems, channel estimation in the MIMO scenario becomes more challenging, owing to the increased number of independent transmitter-receiver links to be estimated. In the context of the Bell layered space-time architecture (BLAST) or space division multiple access (SDMA) multi-user MIMO OFDM literature, no channel estimation technique allows the number of users to be higher than the number of receiver antennas, which is often referred to as an "overloaded" scenario. In this contribution we propose a new genetic algorithm (GA) assisted iterative joint channel estimation and multi-user detection approach for MIMO SDMA-OFDM systems, which exhibits a robust performance in the above-mentioned overloaded scenario. Furthermore, GA-aided multi-user detection (MUD) techniques found in the literature can only provide a hard-decision output, while the proposed GA is capable of providing "soft" outputs, hence achieving an improved performance with the aid of channel decoders. Finally, a range of simulation results are provided to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme

Improved Results on Solving Quadratic Programming Problems with Delayed Neural Network
In this paper, in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), using a delayed Lagrangian network to solve quadratic programming problems, sufficient conditions on delay-dependent and delay-independent are given to guarantee the globally exponential stability of the delayed neural network at the optimal solution. In addition, exponential convergence rate is estimated by the equation in the paper. Furthermore, the results in this paper improved the ones reported in the existing literatures and the proposed sufficient condition can be checked easily by solving LMI. Two simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the approach and applicability of the proposed criteria.

Convergence Studies on Iterative Algorithms for Image Reconstruction
We introduce a general iterative scheme for image reconstruction based on Landweber's method. In our configuration, a sequential block-iterative (SeqBI) version can be readily formulated from a simultaneous block-iterative (SimBI) version, and vice versa. This provides a mechanism to derive new algorithms from known ones. It is shown that some widely used iterative algorithms, such as the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART), simultaneous ART (SART), Cimmino's, and the recently designed diagonal weighting and component averaging algorithms, are special examples of the general scheme. We prove convergence of the general scheme under conditions more general than assumed in earlier studies, for its SeqBI and SimBI versions in the consistent and inconsistent cases, respectively. Our results suggest automatic relaxation strategies for the SeqBI and SimBI versions and characterize the dependence of the limit image on the initial guess. It is found that in all cases the limit is the sum of the minimum norm solution of a weighted least-squares problem and an oblique projection of the initial image onto the null space of the system matrix.

Global and Local Synchronization of General Multi-linked Delayed Complex Dynamical Networks
This paper investigates the phenomena of a new and general multi-linked complex network with delayed nodes and couplings. Via constructing Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and using inequality technique, the criteria for locally exponential synchronization and globally asymptotical synchronization are derived. The latter neither requires the outer-coupling configuration matrix to be symmetric and irreducible nor needs the network to be linearized at its synchronization state, it is obtained by Kronecker product method. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the theoretical results.

Convergence of iterative algorithms for image reconstruction
We introduce a general iterative scheme for image reconstruction based on Landweber's method. Within our configuration, the block-iterative (BI) version can be formulated from its simultaneous version easily, and vice versa. This provides the mechanism to formulate new algorithms from known algorithms. It can be shown that some of the widely used iterative algorithms, such as the ART, SART, Cimmino's Algorithm and recently designed DWE and CAV, are special examples of the general scheme or its BI version. By applying the convergence results of the general scheme, the corresponding convergence in the consistent or inconsistent cases, for the block-iterative or simultaneous versions, of those specific algorithms can be established under mild conditions on the relaxation parameters.
