The slowest descent method and its application to sequence estimation.

A new approach to sequence estimation is proposed and its performance is analyzed for a number of channels of practical interest. The proposed approach, termed the slowest descent method, comprises as a special case the zero-forcing equalizer for intersymbol interference channels and the decorrelato...
