Abstract By utilizing time delay (TD) and angle of arrival (AOA) measurements, three dimensional (3D) target localization based on multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) radar systems is studied in this letter. For such a positioning problem, the typical closed-form solution firstly establishes pseudolinear equation and then applies the weighted least squares (WLS) to determine the final position.However, the WLS solution often suffers performance degradation when the noise is large. To alleviate this problem, the cost function of the WLS is re-represented and a quadratic constraint is imposed such that the expectation of the cost function can attain the minimum value at the true position. Moreover, simulation experiments show that the proposed method performs better than the state-of art algorithms.

Chan algorithm is a closed form solution to the non-recursive equation set. This algorithm needs only a small amount of calculations but has a high degree of precision on positioning. It is valuable for academic reference. Firstly, it obtains the preliminary solution by using WLS (Weighted Least Squares) twice. Then, it uses the preliminary solution to linearise the nonlinear equation and finally makes the estimation of the position. The channel model can provide the model of indoor office environment ranging from 2 GHz to 10 GHz. Through the UWB (Ultra WideBand) positioning system of the channel model, the LOS(line-of-sight) environment can be simulated and TOA(Time-Of-Arrival) data measured by distance can also be obtained by sampling. However, small LOS errors included in the TOA data may lead to big ones in the positioning of 3D(three-dimensional) space and the precision of positioning may be undermined, when the data are directly applied to the Chan algorithm which is based on the TOA. In order to solve this issue, the TOA data obtained can be processed with MA(Moving Average) algorithm and the precision can be improved.

In this paper, we propose a solution to find the angle of arrival (AOA), delay, and the complex propagation factor for the monostatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system. In contrast to conventional iterative computationally demanding estimation schemes, we propose a closed form solution for most of the previous parameters. The solution is based on forming an approximate correlation matrix of the received signals at the MIMO radar receiver end. Then, an eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) is performed on the formed approximate correlation matrix. The AOAs of the received signals are deduced from the corresponding eigenvectors. Then, the delays are estimated from the received signal matrix properties. This is followed by forming structured matrices which will be used to find the complex propagation factors. These estimates can be used as initializations for other MIMO radar methods, such as the maximum likelihood algorithm. Simulation results show significantly low root mean square error (RMSE) for AOAs and complex propagation factors. On the other hand, our proposed method achieves zero RMSE in estimating the delays for relatively low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).

SUMMARYWe present an analytical method for the concurrent calculation of optimal parallel compliant elements and frequency of reference trajectories for serial manipulators performing cyclic tasks. In this approach, we simultaneously shape and exploit the robot's natural dynamics by finding a set of compliant elements and task frequency that result in minimization of an energy-based cost function. The cost function is the integral of a weighted squared norm of the generalized forces. We prove that the generalized force needed for tracking the reference trajectory is a linear function of compliance coefficients and a quadratic function of task frequency. Therefore, the cost function is quadratic with respect to stiffness coefficients and quartic with respect to the task frequency. These properties lead to a well-posed optimization problem with a closed-form solution. Using three case studies, we elucidate the properties of our method.

In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This closed-form solution was implemented in a computer program, and analytical results were compared to finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. In order to predict through-thickness stresses accurately, three-dimensional finite element meshes were used in the FEA since shell meshes can only be used to predict in-plane strength. Three-dimensional FEA results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results. Finally, using the proposed analytical approach, we evaluated structural damage and failure conditions of the composite pressure vessel using the Tsai–Wu failure criteria and predicted a maximum burst pressure.

Several analytical, numerical and hybrid methods are being used to solve diffusion and diffusion advection problems. In this work, a closed form solution of the three-dimensional diffusion advection equation in a Cartesian coordinate system is obtained by applying rules, based on the Lie symmetries, to manipulate the exponential of the differential operators that appear in its formal solution. There are many advantages of applying these rules: the increase in processing velocity so that the solution may be obtained in real time, the reduction in the amount of memory required to perform the necessary tasks in order to obtain the solution, since the analytical expressions can be easily manipulated in post-processing and also the discretization of the domain may not be necessary in some cases, avoiding the use of mean values for some parameters involved. These rules yield good results when applied to obtain solutions for problems in fluid mechanics and in quantum mechanics. In order to show the performance of the method, a one-dimensional scenario of the pollutant dispersion in a stable boundary layer is simulated, considering that the horizontal component of the velocity field is dominant and constant, disregarding the other components. The results are compared with data available in the literature.

The authors' Poisson probability method for detecting stochastic randomness in three-dimensional space involved the need to evaluate an integral for which no appropriate closed-form solution could be located in standard handbooks. This resulted in a formula specifically calculated to solve this integral in closed form. In this paper the calculation is verified by the method of mathematical induction.

A closed-form solution is proposed for the problem of minimizing a functional consisting of two terms measuring mean-square distances for visually associated characteristic points on an image and meansquare distances for point clouds in terms of a point-to-plane metric. An accurate method for reconstructing three-dimensional dynamic environment is presented, and the properties of closed-form solutions are described. The proposed approach improves the accuracy and convergence of reconstruction methods for complex and large-scale scenes.
