In this paper a method of eigenfunction expansion associated with 2nd order differential equation is developed by using the concept of theory of distribution. An application of the method to the infinite long antenna is described in detail.

Speckle filtering is an indispensable pre-processing step for applications of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR), such as terrain classification, target detection, etc. As one of the most typical methods, the polarimetric whitening filter (PWF) can be used to produce a minimum-speckle im...

In the signal processing for metrewave radar, the reflection paths of target echoes can cause severe error in the elevation estimation for the low-angle target tracking. The exact angles of the reflection paths are unknown beforehand, and therefore, the reflection paths can not be suppressed easily....

This paper studies the weighted average consensus problem for networks of agents with fixed directed asymmetric unbalance information exchange topology. We suppose that the classical distributed consensus protocol is destroyed by diverse time-delays which include communication time-delay and self ti...

As multi-core processors become the de-facto configuration in modern computers, the adoption of SMP Virtual Machines (VMs) has been increasing, allowing for more efficient use of computing resources. However, because of existence of schedulers in both the hypervisor and the guest VMs, this creates a...
