Near-infrared spectra of methanol-water mixtures and acetonitrile-water mixtures were acquired to find interactions between solvents widely used for reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Mixtures were prepared to give a series of increasing mole fractions of methanol or acetonitrile in water. Data matrices of acquired spectra were analyzed to determine the proper number of principal components of each mixture system using Malinowski's factor indicator function. Initial guess of score matrix and loading matrix were calculated by nonlinear iterative partial least squares (NIPALS) algorithm for faster computation. Iterative target transform factor analysis (ITTFA) was applied to convert the initial estimation of score matrix to true concentration profile and loading matrix to pure spectra of pure components of the mixtures. In case of methanol-water the number of principal components was found to be 4 and those initial guess of factors were converted to the pure spectra of water methanol and two kinds of complexes. In case of acetonitrile-water the number of pure components of the mixtures was found to be 3 and the pure spectrum of acetonitrile-water complex was found. The nonlinear characteristics of concentration profiles of complexes in the solvent mixtures may give a good criteria in understanding their elution characteristics in reverse-phase liquid chromatogrsphy.

This work presents fuel-optimal altitude maintenance of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) spacecrafts experiencing non-negligible air drag and J2 perturbation. A pseudospectral (direct) method is first applied to roughly estimate an optimal fuel consumption strategy, which is employed as an initial guess to precisely determine itself. Based on the physical specifications of KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite-2 (KOMPSAT-2), a Korean artificial satellite, numerical simulations show that a satellite ascends with full thrust at the early stage of the maneuver period and then descends with null thrust. While the thrust profile is presumably bang-off, it is difficult to precisely determine the switching time by using a pseudospectral method only. This is expected, since the optimal switching epoch does not coincide with one of the collocation points prescribed by the pseudospectral method, in general. As an attempt to precisely determine the switching time and the associated optimal thrust history, a shooting (indirect) method is then employed with the initial guess being obtained through the pseudospectral method. This hybrid process allows the determination of the optimal fuel consumption for LEO spacecrafts and their thrust profiles efficiently and precisely.

In this paper a new numerical method to determine the elastic curve of the simply supported beams of variable cross-section is demonstrated. In general case it needs to solve linear or small nonlinear second order differential equations with prescribed boundary conditions. For numerical solution the initial values of the slope and the deflection of the end cross-section of the beam is necessary. For obtaining the initial values a lively procedure is developed: it is a special application of the shooting method because boundary value problems can be transformed into initial value problems. As a result of these transformations the initial values of the differential equations are obtained with high accuracy. Procedure is applied for calculating of elastic curve of a simply supported beam of variable cross-section. Results of these numerical procedures, analytical solution of the linearized version and finite element method are compared. It is proved that the suggested procedure yields technically accurate results.

Seismic tomography has been widely used as high resolution subsurface imaging techniques in engineering applications. Although most of the techniques have been using travel time inversion, waveform method is being driven forward owing to the progress of computational environments. Although full-waveform inversion method has been known as the best method in terms of model resolving power without high-frequency restriction and weak scattering approximation, it has practical disadvantage that it is apt to get stuck in local minimum if the initial guess is far from the actual model and it consumes so much time to calculate. In this study, 2-D full-waveform inversion algorithm in acoustic medium is developed, which uses result of traveltime tomography as initial model. From the application on synthetic data, it is proved that this approach can efficiently reduce the problem of conventional approaches: our algorithm shows much faster convergence rate and improvement of model resolution. Result of application on physical modeling data also shows much improvement. It is expected that this algorithm can be applicable to real data.

We propose a fast and accurate fluid solver of the Wavier-Stokes equations for the physics-based fluid simulations. Our method utilizes the solution of the Stokes equation as an initial guess for the velocity of the nonlinear term in the Wavier-Stokes equations. By guessing the initial velocity close to the exact solution of the given nonlinear differential equations, we can develop remarkably accurate and stable fluid solver. Our solver is based on the implicit scheme of finite difference methods, that makes it work well for large time steps. Since we employ the ADI method, our solver is also fast and has a uniform computation time. The experimental results show that our solver is excellent for fluids with high Reynolds numbers such as smoke and clouds.

To reconstruct the complete 3-D shape of an object, seveal range images form different viewpoints should be merged into a single model. The process of extraction of the transformation parameters between multiple range views is calle dregistration. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to find the transformation parameters between multiple range views. Th eproposed algorithm consists of two step: initial estimation and iteratively update the transformation. To guess the initial transformation, we modify the principal axes by considering the projection effect, due to the difference fo viewpoints. Then, the following process is iterated: in order to extract the exact transformation parameters between the range views: For every point of the common region, find the nearest point among the neighborhood of the current corresponding point whose correspondency is defined by the reverse calibration of the range finder. Then, update the transformation to satisfy the new correspondencies. In order to evaluate the performance the proposed registration algorithm, some experiments are performed on real range data, acquired by space encoding range finder. The experimental results show that the proposed initial estimation accelerate the following iterative registration step.

An inverse mosaic method has been proposed to generate an initial blank shape from the final product shape. Differently from the geometric mapping method, the method can handle triangular patches. However, the generated blank shape is strongly dependent on the order of determination of nodes. In order to compensate the dependency error smoothing technique has been also developed. Although the accuracy has been improved greatly compared with the geometrical mapping method, the method has limitation, due to the no incorporation of plasticity theory. Even though the accuracy of the radius vector method is already proved. the method requires initial guess to start the method. In order to compromise the limitation of the present method and the radius vector method, the method has been connected to the radius vector method. The efficiency of the present optimal blank design method has been verified with some chosen examples.

To overcome the capture-range problem in phase-diversity phase retrieval (PDPR), a geometrical-optics initial-estimate method is proposed to avoid a local minimum and to improve the accuracy of laser-wavefront measurement. We calculate the low-order aberrations through the geometrical-optics model, which is based on the two spot images in the propagation path of the laser, and provide it as a starting guess for the PDPR algorithm. Simulations show that this improves the accuracy of wavefront recovery by 62.17% compared to other initial values, and the iteration time with our method is reduced by 28.96%. That is, this approach can solve the capture-range problem.

Optimization of marine propellers of constant pitch is studied, with the help of the infinite dimensional optimization (Jang and Kinoshita, 2000a), which is based on the Hilbert space theory. As a numerical example, the MAU type propeller is considered and used as he initial guess for the optimization method. The numerical computations for an optimal marine propeller are performed for the constant pitch distribution. In addition, a new optimization is suggested with the constraint of constant pitch during optimization.
