The elastic optical network (EON) was proposed as a solution to avoid the spectrum waste in conventional WDM networks, since it improves the network utilization. However, the elastic optical network is still based on an ...

This paper presents new results on switching control using neural networks. Given a set of candidate controllers, a pair of neural networks is trained to identify the stability region and estimate the closed-loop performance ...

This paper presents the analysis of a dc-ac converter using a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) commutation cell. First, we show the cell applied to the buck converter. The stages of operation are presented along with the main ...

As optical switching and multiplexing architectures evolve, optical multicast keeps on being a capability advertised by a few core and transport optical equipment vendors. However, to the date, not much use of this service ...

Commonly, in the transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) problem, the objective is to define the minimal-cost investment in new transmission devices, e.g., the transmission lines and transformers, for the system to ...
