in modern agriculture, image processing technique is used for mechanization and intelligent machines instead of humans. one of them is identifying varieties of plants and fruits. identifying plant varieties is important in plant eugenic programs. visual examination of plant leaves and fruits are the common processes for this aim. identification and classification of plants using machine vision ...

through the last three decades different seismological and engineering approaches for the generation of artificial earthquakes have been proposed. selection of an appropriate method for the generation of applicable artificial earthquake accelerograms (aeas) has been a challenging subject in the time history analysis of the structures in the case of the absence of sufficient recorded accelerogra...

introduction : due to the importance of laser light penetration and propagation in biological tissues, many researchers have proposed several numerical methods such as monte carlo, finite element and green function methods. among them, the monte carlo method is an accurate method which can be applied for different tissues. however, because of its statistical nature, monte carlo simulation requi...

The problem addressed in this paper is the computation of elementary functions (exponential, logarithm, trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions and their reciprocals) in fixed precision, typically the computer single or double precision.The method proposed here combines Shift-and-Add algorithms and classical methods for the numerical integration of ODEs: it consists in performing the Shif...

In this paper, we propose a continuation method for box constrained variational inequality problems. The continuation method is based on the class of Gabriel-Mor e smooth functions and has the following attractive features: It can start from any point; It has a simple and natural neighborhood deenition; It solves only one approximate Newton equation at each iteration; It converges globally line...

In this paper, we present an automatable decompositional method for the computation of Lyapunov functions for hybrid systems with complex discrete state spaces. We use graph-based reasoning to decompose hybrid automata into subgraphs, for which we then solve semidefinite optimization problems to obtain local Lyapunov functions. These local computations are made in a way that ensures that the fa...

In this note, a practical way to compute limit cycles in context of hybrid systems is investigated. As in many hybrid applications the steady state is depicted by a limit cycle, control design and stability analysis of such hybrid systems require the knowledge of this periodic motion. Analytical expression of this cycle is generally an impossible task due to the complexity of the dynamic. A fas...

in the present study, a model of a large lithium polymer (li-po) battery for use in the simulation of hybrid electric vehicles (hevs) is developed. to attain this goal, an equivalent circuit (ec) consisting of a series resistor and two rc parallel networks is considered. the accuracy and the response time of the model for use in an hev simulator are studied. the battery parameters identificatio...

This paper presents an effective numerical method for solving a class of nonlinear VolterraFredholm integral equations by using the hybrid functions of Legendre polynomials and block-pulse functions. The proposed method which differs with previous approaches, attemp ts to use the exact forms of known functions in solving the integral equation. So its accuracy appropriately increases and the com...
