Joint Antenna Selection and Phase-Only Beamforming Using Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we consider the problem of joint antenna selection and analog beamformer design in downlink single-group multicast networks. Our objective is to reduce the hardware costs by minimizing the number of required phase shifters at the ...

Local Polynomial Regression and Filtering for a Versatile Mesh‐Free PDE Solver

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
A high‐order, mesh‐free finite difference method for solving differential equations is presented. Both derivative approximation and scheme stabilisation is carried out by parametric or non‐parametric local polynomial regression, making the resulting numerical method accurate, simple and versatile. Numerous numerical benchmark tests are investigated for

A Group Rotate-Vector Algorithm for Mixed-Variable Optimization Problems

open access: yesIEEE Access
Many engineering design optimization problems can be represented as mixed-variable optimization problems. This study presents a heuristic approach for solving mixed-variable optimization using rotation and contraction of vectors. The current optimization

Nonlinear Resonance Modulation in Single‐Crystalline VO2‐Integrated Si Ring Resonator

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
This work first demonstrates a single‐crystalline VO2–Si hybrid ring resonator. The epitaxial lift‐off process enables high‐quality VO2 integration on the dissimilar Si photonic platform. The high‐quality VO2 film exhibits exceptional nonlinear resonance modulation and a steep optical transition across the metal‐insulator transition. ABSTRACT The metal‐

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

All‐sky assimilation impacts of the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder constellation on global weather forecasts

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Key Findings: An assimilation methodology is established for the Tomorrow.io microwave sounder (TMS) flying on CubeSats in sun‐synchronous and inclined orbits, and in all cloud scenes. The TMS has a significant impact on weather forecast lead times up to 3 days in the Tropics in a research‐quality numerical weather prediction setting, and yields water ...
