Polygaussian Approximation and Adaptive Processing of an Electrocardiographic Signal Against Interference Background

We present the results of a study and substantiation of the method of polygaussian approximation of an electrocardiographic (ECG) signal against interference background during computer analysis of that signal. It is proposed to use adaptive processing of ECG signals, which allows one to increase the signal-to-interference ratio by over 7 dB.     

An alternative approach for non-linear optimal control problems based on the method of moments

We propose an alternative method for computing effectively the solution of non-linear, fixed-terminal-time, optimal control problems when they are given in Lagrange, Bolza or Mayer forms. This method works well when the nonlinearities in the control variable can be expressed as polynomials. The essential of this proposal is the transformation of a non-linear, non-convex optimal control problem into an equivalent optimal control problem with linear and convex structure. The method is based on global optimization of polynomials by the method of moments. With this method we can determine either the existence or lacking of minimizers. In addition, we can calculate generalized solutions when the original problem lacks of minimizers. We also present the numerical schemes to solve several examples arising in science and technology.     

Testing exponentiality against a class of alternatives which includes the RNBUE distributions based on the empirical laplace transform

A scale-free test for exponentiality is proposed which is consistent within an extended set of models, including, but not limited to, the “renewal new better than used in expectation” (RNBUE) class of life distributions. The limiting null distribution of the test statistics is derived, and the approximate local Bahadur efficiency is calculated for several families of alternatives. Finite-sample properties of the proposed procedures are investigated via simulation.

Theory of the phenomenological charge of dislocations generated by a phase transition

For the case of a phase transition into a macroscopically inhomogeneous state described by the order parameter (OP) that is characterized by a multiarm star of a vector {k_i}, a method for compensating the spatial variation in all star arms k_i is proposed. To this end, a unified tensor field (OP connectivity) is considered, which is interpreted as a stress field potential. The OP-connectivity interaction is described by the phenomenological dislocation charge. Alternative ways of physical interpretation of the OP connectivity are discussed.

Intramolecular heterocyclization with accompanying exoiminization in the reaction of ammonia with 2-chloroperfluoro-1-cyclohexene-1-thiocyanate

The reaction of ammonia with 2-chloroperfluoro-1-cyclohexene-1-thiocyanate leads to 2-amino-7-iminoperfluoro-4,5,6-trihydrobenzo-1,3-thiazole (II) due to intramolecular heterocyclization in the Thorpe reaction with the concurrent exoiminization. Analysis of the IR spectra of (II) in CCl₄ and in the solid phase indicated that molecules of (II) in the crystal form hydrogen-bonded centrosymmetric dimers (D), which are in equilibrium with free molecules of (II) in solution.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 10, pp. 2366–2370, October, 1991.The authors express their gratitude to D. I. Zagorevskii for taking the mass spectrum of (II) and to L. S. German for a useful discussion of this work.     

Integral manifolds and the reduction principle in stability theory. III

It is shown how, with the help of approximate integral manifolds, to solve the reduction problem in stability theory in the nonsingular critical case. A generalization of the first fundamental Lyapunov-Malkin theorem in critical cases is obtained.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 10, pp. 1324–1329, October, 1991.
