Conditions for boundedness and convergence of the output error and the parameter error for various Caputo's fractional order adaptive schemes based on the steepest descent method are derived in this paper. To this aim, the ...

An important requirement for a gradient coil is that the uniformity of the generated magnetic field gradient should be maximal within the active volume of the coil. For a cylindrical geometry, the radial uniformity of the ...

Understanding of people's landscape preferences is important for decision-making about land planning, particularly in the disturbance patterns that usually occur in rural-urban gradients. However, the use of different types ...

In the context of real-time optimization, modifier-adaptation schemes use estimates of the plant gradients to achieve plant optimality despite plant-model mismatch. Plant feasibility is guaranteed upon convergence, but not ...

A new approach for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problem is established by combining the reduced gradient method and the augmented Lagrangian method with barriers and exploring specific characteristics of the relations ...

Canopy height is an important attribute that allows characterizing the forest vertical structure and analyze changes in vegetation cover over time. The objective of this study is to develop an approach for a spatio-temporal ...

High-quality orthophotos are essential elements in cartographic databases that are required for engineering projects. Urban areas usually have many tall buildings, causing occlusions in aerial images. These occlusions can ...

We consider the inverse problem of detecting the location and the shape of several obstacles immersed in a uid owing in a larger bounded domain from partial boundary measurements in the two dimensional case. The ...
