A time-varying computed ionospheric tomography (TVCIT) algorithm for reconstructing moving images of the ionosphere is proposed. Since the TVCIT algorithm provides more information in the reconstructions than is provided in reconstructions using conventional static computed ionospheric tomography, t

β¦ Synopsis
Total electron content data can be used to reconstruct images of ionospheric electron density using computed ionospheric tomography (CIT). All existing CIT algorithms are formulated with the assumption that the ionosphere does not move during data collection. Since existing algorithms are static reconstruction algorithms, the motion of the ionosphere becomes a source of image degradation. This article presents a time-varying CIT algorithm that reconstructs several time slices of the ionosphere instead of a single static image. Thus, the new algorithm is not adversely affected by the motion of the ionosphere. The new algorithm uses a priori information on the vertical distribution of ionospheric electron density, but no a priori information on ionospheric motion, so the motion is reconstructed solely on the basis of information contained in the data.

Transmissions through multipath channels suffer from Rayleigh fading and intersymbol interference. This can be overcome by sending a (known) training sequence and identifying the channel (active identification). However, in a non-stationary context, the channel model has to be updated by periodicall
An approximation technique is developed for the steady-state solution of the time-varying matrix Riccati equation. We show how the Newton-type algorithm of Kleinman, developed for computing the steady solution to the algebraic Riccati equation for time-invariant systems, can be extended for time-var
The problem of calculating the maximal Lyapunov exponent (generalized spectral radius) of a discrete inclusion is formulated as an average yield optimal control problem. It is shown that the maximal value of this problem can be approximated by the maximal value of discounted optimal control problems
A similarity structure (shape) of a 3-D object can be reconstructed from two perspective views of the object obtained by a calibrated camera. One of the best-known methods for performing such a reconstruction is the 8-point algorithm. To evaluate the psychological plausibility of this algorithm, we
