Computing the square root of 2 (which is roughly 1.41421) is a well-posed problem.Many algorithms solve this problem by starting with an initial approximation x 0 to , for instance x 0 = 1.4, and then computing improved guesses x 1, x 2, etc.
Turbo coding is an iterated soft-decoding scheme that combines two or more relatively simple convolutional codes and an interleaver to produce a block code that can perform to within a fraction of a decibel of the Shannon limit.
The analysis of errors computed using the global positioning system is important for understanding how GPS works, and for knowing what magnitude errors should be expected. The Global Positioning System makes corrections for receiver clock errors and other effects but there are still residual errors which are not corrected.
The forward–backward algorithm runs with time complexity () in space (), where is the length of the time sequence and is the number of symbols in the state alphabet. [1] The algorithm can also run in constant space with time complexity O ( S 2 T 2 ) {\displaystyle O(S^{2}T^{2})} by recomputing values at each step. [ 2 ]
For such problems, to achieve given accuracy, it takes much less computational time to use an implicit method with larger time steps, even taking into account that one needs to solve an equation of the form (1) at each time step. That said, whether one should use an explicit or implicit method depends upon the problem to be solved.
Parity check is the special case where n = k + 1.From a set of k values {}, a checksum is computed and appended to the k source values: + = =. The set of k + 1 values {} + is now consistent with regard to the checksum.
The definition of V n (y) is the value obtained in state y at the last time n. The values V i at earlier times i = n −1, n − 2, ..., 2, 1 can be found by working backwards, using a recursive relationship called the Bellman equation .
The general algorithm involves message passing and is substantially similar to the belief propagation algorithm (which is the generalization of the forward-backward algorithm). With an algorithm called iterative Viterbi decoding, one can find the subsequence of an observation that matches best (on average) to a given hidden Markov model.
