A method evaluates an error-correcting code for a data block of a finite size. An error-correcting code is defined by a parity check matrix, wherein columns represent variable bits and rows represent parity bits. The parity check matrix is represented as a bipartite graph. A single node in the bipartite graph is iteratively renormalized until the number of nodes in the bipartite graph is less than a predetermine threshold. During the iterative renormalization, a particular variable node is selected as a target node, and a distance between the target node and every other node in the bipartite graph is measured. Then, if there is at least one leaf variable node, renormalize the leaf variable node farthest from the target node, otherwise, renormalize a leaf check node farthest from the target node, and otherwise renormalize a variable node farthest from the target node and having fewest directly connected check nodes. By evaluating many error-correcting codes according to the method, an optimal code according to selected criteria can be obtained.

A method maximizes a candidate solution to a cardinality-constrained combinatorial optimization problem of sparse principal component analysis. An approximate method has as input a covariance matrix A, a candidate solution, and a sparsity parameter k. A variational renormalization for the candidate solution vector x with regards to the eigenvalue structure of the covariance matrix A and the sparsity parameter k is then performed by means of a sub-matrix eigenvalue decomposition of A to obtain a variance maximized k-sparse eigenvector x that is the best possible solution. Another method solves the problem by means of a nested greedy search technique that includes a forward and backward pass. An exact solution to the problem initializes a branch-and-bound search with an output of a greedy solution.

A computer implemented method maximizes candidate solutions to a cardinality-constrained combinatorial optimization problem of sparse linear discriminant analysis. A candidate sparse solution vector x with k non-zero elements is inputted, along with a pair of covariance matrices A, B measuring between-class and within-class covariance of binary input data to be classified, the sparsity parameter k denoting a desired cardinality of a final solution vector. A variational renormalization of the candidate solution vector x is performed with regards to the pair of covariance matrices A, B and the sparsity parameter k to obtain a variance maximized discriminant eigenvector {circumflex over (x)} with cardinality k that is locally optimal for the sparsity parameter k and zero-pattern of the candidate sparse solution vector x, and is the final solution vector for the sparse linear discriminant analysis optimization problem. Another method solves the initial problem of finding a candidate sparse solution by means of a nested greedy search technique that includes a forward and backward pass. Another method, finds an exact and optimal solution to the general combinatorial problem by first finding a candidate by means of the previous nested greedy search technique and then using this candidate to initialize a branch-and-bound algorithm which gives the optimal solution.

Disclosed is a calibration method of an excore detector used in core power monitoring of a nuclear power plant, in which a spatial weighting function (SWF), used to theoretically predict a signal of the excore detector is multiplied by a designated calibration factor to reflect characteristics of the excore detector in a calibration process. It is assumed that the SWF is the multiplication of a one-dimensional shape annealing function (SAF) and a two-dimensional SWF, and the SAF is multiplied by the calibration factor. Since the SAF is calculated in a normalized form, the multiplication of the SAF by the calibration factor to reflect characteristics of the excore detector corresponds to new normalization and thus the calibration of the SAF is referred to as renormalization The signal of the excore detector is considerably accurately predicted by multiplying the theoretically calculated SAF by the renormalization factor, and the multiplication is equally applied although the characteristics of the excore detector are highly changed. An increase in the accuracy of the excore detector in the nuclear power plant prevents unnecessary reactor trips and allows a reactor to be operated at a stable power, thus obtaining the safety of a core and raising economical efficiency.
