The estimation error is treated as inexactness of the gradient and the inexact descent direction is analyzed. Based on the optimization theory, a sufficient condition for convergence of this algorithm with bounded price estimation error is obtained. Furthermore, even when this sufficient condition doesn＇t hold, this algorithm can also converge, provided a modified step size, and an attraction region is obtained. Based on Lasalle＇s invariance principle applied to a suitable Lyapunov function, the dynamic system described by this algorithm is proved to be global stability if the error is zero. And the Newton-Like algorithm with bounded price estimation error is also globally stable if the error satisfies the sufficient condition for convergence. All trajectories ultimately converge to the equilibrium point.展开更多

One is that the bound on the uncertainty existing in the controller is known, the other is that the bound is unknown. In the latter case, the simple adaptation laws for upper bound on the norm of the uncertainty is proposed. Using this adaptive upper bound, a variable structure control is designed. The proposed method does not guarantee the convergence of the adaptive upper bound to the real one but makes the system asymptotically stable.展开更多

A new segmentation method, called multi-resolution Ganssian mixture model method, is proposed. First, an image pyramid is constructed and son-father link relationship is built between each level of pyramid. Then the mixture model segmentation method is applied to the top level. The segmentation result on the top level is passed top-down to the bottom level according to the son-father link relationship between levels. The proposed method considers not only local but also global information of image, it overcomes the effect of noise and can obtain better segmentation result. Experimental result demonstrates its effectiveness.展开更多

But the computation complexity of 2-D Tsallis entropy is very large and becomes an obstacle to real time image processing systems. A fast recursive algorithm for 2-D Tsallis entropy thresholding is proposed. The key variables involved in calculating 2-D Tsallis entropy are written in recursive form. Thus, many repeating calculations are avoided and the computation complexity reduces to O（L2） from O（L4）. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by experimental results.展开更多
The convergence and stability analysis for two end-to-end rate-based congestion control algorithms with unavoidable random loss in packets are presented, which can be caused by, for example, errors on wireless links. ...The convergence and stability analysis for two end-to-end rate-based congestion control algorithms with unavoidable random loss in packets are presented, which can be caused by, for example, errors on wireless links. The convergence rates of these two algorithms are analyzed by linearizing them around their equilibrium points, since they are globally stable and can converge to their unique equilibrium points. Some sufficient conditions for local stability in the presence of round-trip delay are obtained based on the general Nyquist criterion of stability. The stability conditions can be considered to be more general. If random loss in the first congestion control algorithm is not considered, they reduce to the local stability conditions which have been obtained in some literatures. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for local stability of a new congestion control algorithm have also been obtained if random loss is not considered in the second congestion control algorithm.展开更多

The dynamic controller is designed based on the control theory and the feedback mechanism of explicit rates With the given method of a chosen parameter, it can guarantee the stability of the controller and closed loop system with propagation delay and bandwidth oscillation. It needs less parameters（only one） to be designed. The queue length can converge to the given value in the least steps. The fairness of different connections is considered further. The simulations show better performance and good quality of service（QoS） is achieved.展开更多
