Improved Reptile Search Optimization Algorithm: Application on Regression and Classification Problems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The reptile search algorithm is a newly developed optimization technique that can efficiently solve various optimization problems. However, while solving high-dimensional nonconvex optimization problems, the reptile search ... -
Improved switching strategy for selective harmonic elimination in DC-AC signal generation via pulse-width modulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We present an advanced design methodology for pulse-width-modulated (PWM) DC-AC signal generation. Using design methods based on the Walsh transform, AC sinusoidal signals can be approximated by suitable PWM signals. For ... -
Improving construction site documentation based on cell phone and web technology
(Master thesis, 2010)In many construction companies it is a policy that all the work done on construction sites must be documented. By studying how the pilot customer documents their construction work, we found that their documentation methods ... -
Improving Energy Efficiency and Motion Control in Load-Carrying Applications using Self-Contained Cylinders
(Doctoral Dissertations at the University of Agder; no. 283, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Because of an increasing focus on environmental impact, including CO2 emissions and fluid spill pollution, inefficient hydraulic systems are being replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives in several industries. ... -
Improving Energy Efficiency and Response Time of an Offshore Winch Drive with Digital Displacement Motors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Offshore winch drives require high energy efficiency and control precision, making digital displacement motors an attractive solution due to their high efficiency and potential controllability. However, the response time ... -
Improving performance of evolutionary algorithms with application to fuzzy control of truck backer-upper system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We propose a method to improve the performance of evolutionary algorithms (EA). The proposed approach defines operators which can modify the performance of EA, including Levy distribution function as a strategy parameters ... -
