Introduction of the variance parameter enables us to discuss some interesting algebraic properties of Wiener's canonical networks also. It is shown that they form a Boolean algebra, each element of which represents a whole family of Wiener's canonical networks for a fixed variance parameter. Applicability of the Wiener theory to time-variable systems and to non-Gaussian processes is briefly discussed.","PeriodicalId":120916,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Trans. Syst. Sci.

The eventual objective of this theory is to automate the automatic determination of whether a complex mathematical model and its required computations are \"well posed.\" This part concentrates on the topological properties of the bipartite model graph defined in [1] and the application of these properties to the location of intrinsic constraint in large mathematical models composed of \"regular\" relations. In particular, the model graph concepts of connected components, trees, circuits, circuit rank, circuit index, and constraint potential are defined with sufficient precision to allow automatic computation. Regular relations, the most commonly employed for scientific models, are defined and the sources of constraint are identified with the \"basic nodal square,\" a special subgraph embedded within the total model graph. A procedure is then developed which uses the topological properties developed earlier to locate the basic nodal squares within a large complex model graph. The ultimate use of the sources of intrinsic constraint is to check the consistency of the model and the allowability of the computations put to it.","PeriodicalId":120916,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Trans.

Equations and inequations describing the various technological constraints for the furnaces have been incorporated in the model. A linear cost function is minimized. Procedures for evaluating various technological and cost coefficients (used in the model) have been explained indicating the nature of the difficulties that are encountered in such evaluations under normal operational conditions.

A general method is proposed to find suitable transformations for discrete data in information processing problems. The main feature of the method is random perturbation of the data subject to constraints which ensure that, in the transformed space, the problem is in some sense simpler and that the local structure of the data is preserved. An application of this technique to pattern recognition is discussed where a transformation is found for the feature space such that classes, which are not linearly separable in the original space, become so in the transformed space. The transformation considerably simplifies the problem and allows well-developed linear discriminant techniques to be applied. This application was implemented and tested with a number of examples which are described.","PeriodicalId":120916,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Trans. Syst. Sci.

The natural language for considering the collective behavior is that of game theory. After a brief introduction to a class of deterministic automata, the stochastic automaton is formulated and a nonlinear reinforcement specified. The finite state stochastic automaton is first considered in a game with nature, and conditions under which the automaton's winnings reach the Von Neumann value of the game are established. Next, two stochastic automata with an arbitrary number of states for each are considered in a game, the game matrix being specified. Performance of the automata for various conditions on the elements of the game matrix is considered. In a comparison of performance with deterministic automata, it is established that, for performance comparable to that of the finite state stochastic automaton, the deterministic automaton needs an infinite number of states. Finally, some games are simulated on a computer which verifies the general analysis and further sheds light on the details of the game.","PeriodicalId":120916,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Trans. Syst.
