This paper proposes an approach to tune an Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) inverse controller using Iterative Learning Control (ILC). The control scheme consists of an ANFIS inverse model and learning control law. Direct ANFIS inverse controller may not guarantee satisfactory response due to different uncertainties associated with operating conditions and noisy training data. In t...

The paper deals with the oscillation of the first-order linear difference equation with deviating argument and nonnegative coefficients. New sufficient oscillation conditions, involving limsup, are given, which essentially improve all known results, based on an iterative technique. We illustrate the results and the improvement over other known oscillation criteria by examples, numerically solve...

We focus on the measure of recommendation stability, which reflects the consistency of recommender system predictions. Stability is a desired property of recommendation algorithms and has important implications on users' trust and acceptance of recommendations. Prior research has reported that some popular recommendation algorithms can suffer from a high degree of instability. In this study we ...

Tomographic techniques play a crucial role in imaging methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) due to their unique capabilities to reconstruct three-dimensional object information. However, the accuracy of the two standard tomographic reconstruction techniques, the weighted back-projection (W-BP) and the simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT) is reduced under commo...

A new technique for image magnification using the theory of fractals is proposed. The technique is designed assuming self transformability property of images. In particular, the magnification task is performed using the fractal code of the image instead of the original one resulting in a reduction in memory requirement. To generate the fractal codes, Genetic Algorithm with elitist model is used...

We investigate the initial value problem for a class of fractional evolution equations in a Banach space. Under some monotone conditions and noncompactness measure conditions of the nonlinearity, the well-known monotone iterative technique is then extended for fractional evolution equations which provides computable monotone sequences that converge to the extremal solutions in a sector generate...

In this paper, we suggest and analyze some iterative methods for solving nonlinear equations using the homotopy perturbation technique coupled with system of equations. In addition, we show that the homotopy polynomial is exactly the the Adomian polynomial and this establishes the equivalence between the homotopy perturbation and decomposition techniques. Our method of establishing the equivale...

We present a conceptually simple algorithm for dense image point matching between two multi-modal (e.g. color) images. The algorithm is based on the assumption that correct image point matches satisfy locally a particular statistical distribution. Through an iterative evaluation of a local probability measure, global constraints are taken into account and the most likely set of image point matc...
