This paper deals with state estimation of micro tunable capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end a nonlinear observer has been designed for state estimation of the structure.  Necessary and sufficient conditions for construction of the observer are presented. Stability of the observer is checked using Lyapunov theorem. Observer design is based on converting of differen...

The Taylor expansion has shown in many fields to be an extremely powerful tool. In this paper, the authors investigated image features and their relationships by analogy with Taylor expansion. The kind of expansion could be helpful for analyzing image feature and engraftment, such as transferring color between images. By analogy with Taylor expansion, the image color transfer algorithm is desig...

In this paper, we give a numerical approach for approximating the solution of second kind Volterra integral equation with Logarithmic kernel using Block Pulse Functions (BPFs) and Taylor series expansion. Also, error analysis shows efficiency and applicability of the presented method. Finally, some numerical examples with exact solution are given.

Abstract: Much attention has been paid to Taylor series expansion (TSE) method these years, which has been extensively used for solving nonlinear equations for its good robustness and accuracy of positioning. A Taylor-series expansion location algorithm based on the RBF neural network (RBF-TSE) is proposed before to the performance of TSE highly depends on the initial estimation. In order to ha...
