We present computational methods and subroutines to compute Gaussian quadrature integration formulas for arbitrary positive measures. For expensive integrands that can be factored into well-known forms, Gaussian quadrature schemes allow for efficient evaluation of high-accuracy and -precision numerical integrals, especially compared to general ad hoc schemes. In addition, for certain well-known density measures (the normal, gamma, log-normal, Student's t, inverse-gamma, beta, and Fisher's F) we present exact formulae for computing the respective quadrature scheme.

Developing inverse motion planning technique for autonomous vehicles using integral nonlinear constraints.

The study considers issues of elaborating and validating a technique of autonomous vehicle motion planning based on sequential trajectory and speed optimization. This method includes components such as representing sought-for functions by finite elements (FE), vehicle kinematic model, sequential quadratic programming for nonlinear constrained optimization, and Gaussian N-point quadrature integration. The primary novelty consists of using the inverse approach for obtaining vehicle trajectory and speed.

A joint channel coding and probabilistic shaping (PS) scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in an intensity modulation and direct-detection optical discrete multi-tone (DMT) interconnection. The PS-32 quadrature amplitude modulation (PS-32QAM) is probabilistically reshaped from a 6-bit/symbol 64QAM signal based on polar-coded many-to-one (MTO) mapping, enabling a Gaussian-like symbol probability distribution without shaping or forward error correction redundancy. A bit-interleaved polar-coded modulation iterative decoding system based on joint QAM demapping and polar decoding is employed to retrieve the multi-labeled PS symbols.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on solving a complex parabolic convection-diffusion-reaction problem by applying a fitted operator finite difference method, taking into account small parameters affecting diffusion and convection.
  • The initial time discretization uses the Crank-Nicolson method on a uniform mesh, followed by spatial discretization employing a two-point Gaussian quadrature rule and second-order interpolation for first derivatives.
  • The results show that the proposed method is second-order accurate and uniformly convergent, demonstrating its effectiveness through two examples that outperform existing methods.

Article Synopsis
  • - The effectiveness of epidemic surveillance and response varies globally, with many current statistical models struggling to accurately analyze microinfection dynamics due to country-specific differences.
  • - Nonlinear mixed effects models (NLMMs) present a robust alternative by effectively handling diverse and irregular data, thus facilitating better infectious disease modeling compared to traditional compartmental models.
  • - A systematic review of NLMM applications in infectious disease modeling over the past two decades highlights their increasing use, especially for recent epidemics like COVID-19, while challenging the appropriateness of standard normality assumptions in this field.

We evaluate the accuracy of the quantum inverse (Q-Inv) algorithm, in which the multiplication of to the reference wave function is replaced by the Fourier transformed multiplication of e, as a function of the integration parameters and the iteration power for various systems, including H, LiH, BeH and the notorious H molecule at square geometry. We further consider the possibility of employing the Gaussian-quadrature rule as an alternate integration method and compared it to the results employing trapezoidal integration. The Q-Inv algorithm is compared to the inverse iteration method using the inverse (I-Iter) and the exact inverse by lower-upper decomposition.
