For the devised algorithm, the symmetry maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) is employed to develop a new cost function for improving the PAP algorithm, then the variable kernel width and the     l p    -norm-like constraint are incorporated into the cost-function, which is named as     l p    -norm variable kernel width proportionate affine projection (LP-VPAP) algorithm. The devised LP-VPAP algorithm is investigated and verified under impulsive interference environments. Experimental results show that the LP-VPAP gets a faster convergence and provides a lower steady-state performance compared with AP, zero-attracting AP (ZA-AP), reweighted ZA-AP (RZA-AP), proportionate AP (PAP), MCC, variable kernel width MCC (VKW-MCC), and proportionate AP MCC (PAPMCC) algorithms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym11101218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,1]],"date-time":"2019-10-01T11:11:16Z","timestamp":1569928276000},"page":"1218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Sparsity-Aware Variable Kernel Width Proportionate Affine Projection Algorithm for Identifying Sparse Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Zhengxiong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2450-6028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingsong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Microwave Remote Sensing, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinqi","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhan","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ljung, L.
