This paper is to apply Rough Set to data mining of time series. Firstly, we process the time series data by attribute selection and similarity sequence search. Secondly, the time series is partitioned into some sets of pattern by Mobile Window Method (MWM) and each pattern is a trend of time series. Thirdly, an information table is made by predicting attributes and targeting attribute in trending variation ratio structure sequence (TVRSS). Then, the original information table is made suitably for rough set to discover knowledge. Finally, the extracting rules can predict the time series behavior in the future. The total process is four steps. In the end, we show some examples to demonstrate our method on the time series data of stock market.

Regularized restoration is one of the powerful image restoration techniques because it preserves image details with a high degree of fidelity in the restored image. The main problem encountered in regularized image restoration is the evaluation of the regularization parameter. There are several methods for the evaluation of this parameter which require knowledge of the noise variance in the degraded image. After evaluating this parameter, regularized restoration is implemented by applying a regularization filter on the degraded image. In this paper, we propose a new iterative method for the evaluation of this parameter. This method depends on the maximization of the power in the restored image by the coincidence of the passband of the regularization filter with the frequency band in which, most of the image power exists. The suggested method doesn’t require a priori knowledge of the noise variance. Results show that the estimated value of the regularization parameter leads to a minimum mean square restoration error.

In this article the m-parallel method of sequential field searching and two variants of m-parallel block field searching method are offered. These methods are oriented to be used in multiprocessing system for information searching in files of database. We research the effectiveness of these methods for different probability distribution law of field access. The mathematical expectation of number of parallel comparisons necessary for field searching in files is taken as a criterion of effectiveness. The effectiveness of the methods is compared and analyzed. The best of offered methods is founded for every considered probability distribution. Optimal strategies of field searching in sequenced files stored in external memory of multiprocessing system are made. In this case the mathematical expectation of total time needed for field searching in files is taken as a criterion of effectiveness.

In this paper, a study based on iterative method is presented. This method consists in generating a recursive relationship between a wave source and reflected waves from the discontinuity plane which is divided into cells. A high computational speed has been achieved by using Fast Modal Transform (FMT). This work is followed by an application of triangular discretization which offers several advantages over rectangular discretization. The right bend can be simulated by both rectangular and triangular cells, while the mitred bend can be exactly conformed only by the triangular mesh. Deficiencies in the rectangular approximation are identified. The computed results have been successfully compared with published data.

Distributed computing can be used to solve large scale scientific and engineering problems. A parallel application could be divided into a number of tasks and executed concurrently on different computers in the system. This paper provides an optimal task assignment algorithm under memory constraints to minimize required time of finishing a parallel application. The proposed algorithm is based on the optimal assignment sequential search (OASS) of the A* algorithm with additional modifications. This modified algorithm yields optimal solution, lower time complexity, reduces the turnaround time of the application and considerably faster compared with the sequential search algorithm.

An approach for decomposition of visual images by clustering and breaking them down into geometric figures is considered. Multilevel hierarchical clustering algorithm to form three emphasized levels of clusters such as rectangles, closed regions and integrated areas is proposed. Advantages of such decomposition in three stages are as follows: images covered by rectangles are planned to be formatted and compressed, image fragments could be taken for the preliminary pattern recognition or could easily be corrected, hierarchically constructed fragments are good material to form pattern features for searching procedures. The algorithm complexity, the proposed approach of scanning searching area to reduce it, the rolling up criteria and key parameters for its control are investigated. The results of pattern analysis by structure features for some practical problems are presented in the article.

The paper presents a new mathematical principle of innovative techniques for improving the quality indices of engineering devices and systems with non-uniform structure (e.g. coding systems) with respect to transmission speed, positioning precision, resolving ability, and functionality, using novel design based on remarkable properties and structural perfection of one- and multidimensional models of the systems, namely the concept of Ideal Ring Bundles (IRB)s prospected from basic laws of the world-wide harmony. Research into the underlying mathematical principle provides an ability to reproduce the maximum number of combinatorial varieties in the systems with a limited number of elements and bonds. This approach make it possible to configure systems with optimal placement of structural elements in spatially or temporally distributed systems, using the appropriate mathematical apparatus of contemporary combinatorial theory.

A method for structural synthesis of Network Capable Application Processors (NCAPs) is proposed. It is based on a method of morphological analysis and synthesis and includes phases of functional analysis, structural synthesis, and search for a set of optimal solutions. The proposed method combines lexicographical criterion of preference (L- criterion) at a stage of functional analysis and unconditional criterion of preference (Pareto optimality) during the search phase, which are considered in literature as alternative methods of search for optimal solutions. Combining of criteria, makes it possible to reduce the number of synthesized alternative variants at a stage of structural synthesis and all obtained solutions are allowable.

ANALYSIS OF THE 2-SUM PROBLEM AND THE SPECTRAL ALGORITHM

E-mail: kolomiychuk@gmail.com

This paper presents the analysis of the 2-sum problem and the spectral algorithm. The spectral algorithm was proposed by Barnard, Pothen and Simon in [1]; its heuristic properties have been advocated by George and Pothen in [4] by formulation of the 2-sum problem as a Quadratic Assignment Problem. In contrast to that analysis another approach is proposed: permutations are considered as vectors of Euclidian space. This approach enables one to prove the bound results originally obtained in [4] in an easier way. The geometry of permutations is considered in order to explain what are ‘good’ and ‘pathological’ situations for the spectral algorithm. Upper bounds for approximate solutions generated by the spectral algorithm are proved. The results of numerical computations on (graphs of) large sparse matrices from real-world applications are presented to support the obtained results and illustrate considerations related to the ‘pathological’ cases.

Some typical problems in the numerical analysis of certain types of boundary value problems of the potential theory in substantially spatial formulation are considered. On the basis of the integral equation method (IE) an approximate scheme of solving one model example is built and investigated. It is also considered that the doubly connected open surface where boundary conditions are set obtains the Abelian group of symmetry of the eighth order. This article shows how using the apparatus of the group theory it is possible to solve an initial problem by the help of the sequence of the eight independent IEs, where the integration is realized only on one of the congruent constituents of the surface. It creates the conditions for two parallel processes of problem solution in general. The collocation method for obtaining approximate values of needed “density of charge distribution” in the particular two-dimensional integral equations is used. To take into account the singular way of solving the problem in the circuit of the open surface the a posteriori method of error evaluation is created and the procedure of integrating clarification of solving the task in the mesh node is implemented. To prove the reliability and estimation of the technique efficiency the number of numerical experiments is carried out including the use of so called “plane” approximation of the examined spatial problem.
