The task of global optimization is to find a point where the objective function obtains its most extreme value. Differential evolution (DE) is a population-based heuristic approach that creates new candidate solutions by combining several points of the same population. The algorithm has three parameters: amplification factor of the differential variation, crossover control parameter and populat...

In the paper is presented one novel approach for adaptive compression of groups of computer tomography (CT) images, based on modified branched inverse pyramid decomposition. In result is obtained high compression ratio with retained image quality. To achieve this, was used the high correlation between sequences of CT images, representing same object(s). The experimental results confirm the effi...

We consider the l1-regularized Markowitz model, where a l1-penalty term is added to the objective function of the classical mean-variance one to stabilize the solution process, promoting sparsity in the solution and avoiding short positions. In this paper, we consider the Bregman iteration method to solve the related constrained optimization problem. We propose an iterative algorithm based on a...

Food allergies are recognized as a global health concern. In order to protect allergic consumers from severe symptoms, allergenic risk assessment for well-known foods and foods containing genetically modified ingredients is installed. However, population is steadily growing and there is a rising need to provide adequate protein-based foods, including novel sources, not yet used for human consum...

 An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

the error of inertial navigation systems increase versus time, therefore for achieving higher accuracy specially in long time navigations we have to use an aiding system. global positioning system is the best aiding system in this case. in this paper we first simulate a gps and ins; then simulate tightly integration and finally review adaptation method of kalman filtering a fuzzy adaptive kalma...
