The clipped histogram is divided into two segments founded on a threshold value computed by the standard deviation on the image histogram. Two sub-images of the individual histogram are equalized and combined to form the output image that preserves the entropy and produced better contrast enhancement image. The results in terms of Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI), and Entropy, for images, have been simulated on MATLAB.

A method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the interoperability of a production line is considered. The object of the study was a model of a multi-operational production line.Objective. The goal of the work is to develop a method for constructing an optimal algorithm for stabilizing the flow parameters of a production line, which provides asymptotic stability of the state of flow parameters for a given quality of the process.Method. A method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the level of interoperative backlogs of a multi-operational production line is proposed. The stabilization algorithm is based on a two-moment PDE-model of the production line, which made it possible to represent the production line in the form of a complex dynamic distributed system. This representation made it possible to define the stabilizing control in the form of a function that depends not only on time but also on the coordinates characterizing the location of technological equipment along the production line. The use of the method of Lyapunov functions made it possible to synthesize the optimal stabilizing control of the state of interoperation backlogs at technological operations of the production line, which ensures the asymptotic stability of the given unperturbed state of the flow parameters of the production line at the lowest cost of technological resources spent on the formation of the control action. The requirement for the best quality of the transition process from a disturbed state to an unperturbed state is expressed by the quality integral, which depends both on the magnitude of the disturbances that have arisen and on the magnitude of the stabilizing controls aimed at eliminating these disturbances.Results. On the basis of the developed method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the state of flow parameters of a production line, an algorithm for stabilizing the value of interoperation backlogs at technological operations of a production line is synthesized.Conclusions. The use of the method of Lyapunov functions in the synthesis of optimal stabilizing control of the flow parameters of the production line makes it possible to provide asymptotic damping of the arising disturbances of the flow parameters with the least cost of technological resources spent on the formation of the control action. It is shown that in the problem of stabilizing the state of interoperative backlogs, the stabilizing value of the control is proportional to the value of the arising disturbance. The proportionality coefficient is determined through the coefficients of the quality integral and the Lyapunov function. The prospect of further research is the development of a method for constructing an algorithm for stabilizing the productivity of technological operations of a production line.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125928342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expansion of the method of image transformations to the minimization of functions of the Sheffer algebra makes it possible to identify new algebraic rules of logical transformations. Simplification of the Sheffer functions on binary structures of the 2-(n, b)-designs) features exceptional situations. They are used both when deriving the result of simplification of functions from a binary matrix and introducing the Sheffer function to the matrix. It was shown that the expanded normal form of the n-digit Sheffer function can be represented by binary sets or a matrix. Logical operations with the matrix structure provide the result of simplification of the Sheffer functions. This makes it possible to concentrate the principle of minimization within the truth table of a given function and do without auxiliary objects, such as Karnaugh map, Weich diagrams, coverage tables, etc. Compared with the analogs of minimizing the Sheffer algebra functions, the method under the study makes the following to be possible: ‒ reduce algorithmic complexity of minimizing expanded normal forms of the Sheffer functions (ENSF-1 and ENSF-2); ‒ increase the productivity of minimizing the Sheffer algebra functions by 100‒150 %; ‒ demonstrate clarity of the process of minimizing the ENSF-1 or ENSF-2; ‒ ensure self-sufficiency of the method of image transformations to minimize the Sheffer algebra functions by introducing the tag of minimum function and minimization in the complete truth table of the ENSF-1 and ENSF-2.

In this paper, I present evidence suggesting that the samples corresponding to typical applications of the regression discontinuity design (RDD) fail to satisfy these assumptions. I distinguish ex-post randomization (as in admission lotteries applicable to those at the margin of admission) from ex-ante randomization, reflecting uncertainty about the market structure of applicants, which can be naturally quantified by resampling from the applicant population. Using data from the Croatian centralized collegeadmission system, I show that these ex-ante admission probabilities differ dramatically between treated and non-treated students within typical RDD bandwidths. Such unbalanced admission probability distributions suggest that bandwidths (and sample sizes) should be drastically reduced to avoid selection bias. I also show that a sizeable fraction of quasirandomized assignments occur outside of the typical RDD bandwidths, suggesting that these are also inefficient. As an alternative, I propose a new estimator, the Propensity Score Discontinuity Design (PSDD), based on all observations with random assignments, which compares outcomes of applicants matched on ex-ante admission probabilities, conditional on admission scores.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122795961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, real objects are fractional order systems, thus fractional order has been implemented on the different chaotic systems which are discussed in the paper and the changes on the systems are studied accordingly. The chaotic system’s behavior is observed both for integer order and fractional order.
