In recent years there has been a renewed interest in finding fast algorithms to compute accurately the linear canonical transform (LCT) of a given function. This is driven by the large number of applications of the LCT in optics and signal processing. The well-known integral transforms: Fourier, fractional Fourier, bilateral Laplace and Fresnel transforms are special cases of the LCT. In this p...

In the thesis the aim was to detect the high impedance fault occurring on radial distribution system using a new generic search algorithm. A Three layer perceptron was used for distinguishing the linear and nonlinear high impedance faults by taking the feature vector as input value of third and fifth harmonic components of feeder voltage and feeder current were used as a feature vector obtained...
