For the Helmholtz equation (with wavenumber k) and analytic curves or surfaces Γ we analyze the mapping properties of the single layer, double layer as well combined potential boundary integral operators. A k-explicit regularity theory for the single layer and double layer potentials is developed, in which these operators are decomposed into three parts: the first part is the single or double l...

In this paper a method to simultaneously achieving the two main objective of smoothing the control while maintaining ideally infinite frequency regimes is particularized to the simplex sliding mode method. The present paper proposes a simplex sliding mode control logic based on the time derivative of the control vector. This practice, beside the standard chattering reduction effect, has the imp...

Fourier integral operators, for the calculus of which I refer to Hörmander [17], have been applied in essentially two ways: as similarity transformations and in the description of the solutions of genuinely nonelliptic (pseudo-) differential equations. The first application is based on the observation of Egorov [12] that if P9 resp. g, is a pseudo-differential operator with principal symbol equ...

Computer vision operates on images that usually come in the form of arrays of pixel values. These values are invariably affected by noise, so it is useful to clean the images somewhat by an operation, called smoothing, that replaces each pixel by a linear combination of some of its neighbors. Smoothing reduces the effects of noise, but blurs the image. In the case of noise suppression, blurring...

Increased electric energy consumption in recent years, associated economic problems, reduced reliability and increased power losses in electric networks. One of the main solutions in smart grids to overcome the mentioned problems is demand response programs. In demand response programs, operators apply time-varying tariffs to consumers, and convince them to change their consumption pattern. Amo...

conclusions addressing and removing explainable patterns of syndromic data on meningitis is necessary to timely and accurately detection of meningitis epidemics. it was concluded that decomposition methods had better performance compared to the model based ones. background meningitis is one of the most disturbing infectious diseases due to mortality, morbidity and its ability to cause epidemic....

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of income smoothing on investors reaction to Earnings Persistence of companies listed on the Stock Exchange in Tehran. The population of the study was companies listed on the Stock Exchange in Tehran, the sample size due to screening method and after removing outliers is equal to 118 companies. In this study, earnings persistence an...

Simple exponential smoothing (SES) methods are the most commonly used methods in forecasting and time series analysis. However, they are generally insensitive to non-stationary structural events such as level shifts, ramp shifts, and spikes or impulses. Similar to that of outliers in stationary time series, these non-stationary events will lead to increased level of errors in the forecasting pr...

As renewable energy penetration on the grid increases, requirements are being placed PV owners and operators to limit power ramp rates. ramping is an issue for stability because generation load balance must be continually met. When a large resource significantly increases or decreases, another compensate. To aid in stability, rate limitations have been imposed plants. This article addresses how...
