Abstract From geometrical point of view, Eve [2] studied seven means. These means are Harmonic, Geometric, Arithmetic, Heronian, Contra-harmonic, Root-mean square and Centroidal mean. We have considered for the first time a new measure calling generalized triangular discrimination. Inequalities among non-negative differences arising due to seven means and particular cases of generalized triangu...

This paper proposes an active and reactive power control strategy based on predictive control approaches applied to gridconnected renewable energy systems. To accomplish this a multi-modular matrix converter topologies are used in combination with a simple but efficient grid synchronization strategy. The theoretical performance analysis is performed considering a six-phase wind energy generator...

The Bayes factor is a useful summary for model selection. Calculation of this measure involves evaluating the integrated likelihood (or prior predictive density), which can be estimated from the output of MCMC and other posterior simulation methods using the harmonic mean estimator. vVhile this is a simulation-consistent estimator, it can have infinite variance. In this article we describe a me...

Motivated by Wilmshurst’s conjecture, we investigate the zeros of harmonic polynomials. We utilize a certified counting approach which is a combination of two methods from numerical algebraic geometry: numerical polynomial homotopy continuation to compute a numerical approximation of each zero and Smale’s alpha-theory to certify the results. Using this approach, we provide new examples of harmo...

We study the harmonic moments of Galton-Watson processes, possibly non homogeneous, with positive values. Good estimates of these are needed to compute unbiased estimators for non canonical branching Markov processes, which occur, for instance, in the modeling of the polymerase chain reaction. By convexity, the ratio of the harmonic mean to the mean is at most 1. We prove that, for every square...

In this article, we analyze the arterial pulse in the spectral domain. A parameter, the spectral harmonic energy ratio (SHER), is developed to assess the features of the overly decreased spectral energy in the fourth to sixth harmonic for palpitation patients. Compared with normal subjects, the statistical results reveal that the mean value of SHER in the patient group (57.7 ± 27.9) is signific...

An algorithm for harmonic decomposition of time-variant signals is derived from a least squares harmonic (LSH) technique. The estimates of harmonic amplitudes and phases are formulated as the solution of a set of linear equations which minimizing mean square error; the signal frequency is modeled by a linear or quadratic polynomial and obtained via a local search over polynomial coefficients. A...
